    I was just thinking about how having a cap on the number of bitcoins is inherently deflationary if only because people inevitably lose their passwords. Its one thing to have a guy with like, .125BTC but eventually, given enough time, someone with like, 10% of the supply will lose access to their BTC.

    It’s very plausible that one person who had ~5% of the total supply has now rendered it inaccessible

    @@CryptoCriticPod so, is it known what happens if that ever gets confirmed? I assume Nakamoto never imagined, as tech bros do, that human error can effect their creations so I'm guessing there's no contingency plan currently in the system. But is there any idea of how the major participants may react?

    Energy is fundamentally decentralized on earth and we human live on a fairly decentralized country on earth. What makes you thinks that miner from different country could collude ? Isn't this "softwar" as jason lowery puts it ?

    enshitification is a phenomenon far beyond the internet. Hell one of the main thrust of bitcoin's sales pitch is that fiat money has become enshitified. It is a factor of monopoly power in general.

    The unbanked are poor, been there, done that in the UK, and we are never paying fees to bank, Blockchain is not an option, no fee banking is the only option. That is what got me banking, a no fee (If in credit), no interest account, my issue was I have no credit history, because I will NEVER borrow money, and had no bank account. I still have that basic account, it's never incurred a fee, and always has money in it, because I spend within my means, and save a little week, on week that mounts up. Never had more than £5,000 in savings, but that allows cheap living, and gives bargain buying power, those in debt can't snap up. If you spend below your income, you will cope just fine.
