RE: Debt is a Derivative of Collateral

in LeoFinancelast month

You have not proved me wrong on anything. I'd love to see where I need to concede or retract things I have said in the past. If i get something wrong, ill concede.

As you feel about me, I feel the same about you and the points you are making. I mean I'm arguing against someone who think BTC fees will go lower as they go higher and as they must go higher. You are short BTC fees. And even if you are right, low fee bitcoin is even worse than high fee, as low fee BTC will be dominated on the security layer by big banks who can afford to run the infra.

This debate needs to happen, since as you build rhetoric with the community, you move Hive away from time locks on the base layer and away from it being a collaterlaisation layer. This loses Hive and the world a ton of value. Time locks are very important for Hive.

I'm happy to concede I'm wrong if you make good points. But I am yet to see them, where as I see you making a ton of points that in my opinion are to the detriment of Hive. Again, maybe I'm wrong, and if you make solid arguments during the debate, ill happily support the idea of a high APR base layer stable coin, no time locks and no or a simplified collateralised loan system on Hive.

If you wanna set up a debate then setup a debate friend.
Most convenient slots for me are 10 AM - 4 PM eastern Mon-Fri.

It's uh... your funeral I guess.
Already the optics are bad for you:

  • Using the same strawman attack 3 times in a row even after being called out.
  • This whole know_it_all "I'm never wrong" vibe within an extremely complex and nuanced environment.
  • Constantly begging the question under the assumption that longer timelocks are valuable with no data to back it.
  • The inability to argue the other side of the discussion.
  • Counting chickens before they hatch with assumed infrastructure that doesn't exist.

But sure if you think there's value to rehashing all this stuff and consolidating it down into something more palatable go nuts.

You need to stop letting this be so personal for you. Its no body's funeral. We are just discussing what is best for Hive. The above, and your approach in general is a little bit disingenuous for me, but the discussion needs to be had. Ill let you know. Do you know anyone else who will argue your side of the discussion? I already have interest from two others on this side.

The truth is not a popularity contest.

What interesting coincidence that the post I just wrote explains Bandwagon Bias.
Do you know anyone that agrees with the points I have made?
Or are you just employing an echo-chamber of confirmation bias?
Surely you must know of some otherwise what's the point of the debate if no one takes me seriously?
If not that's fine as I don't particularly need any help on this one.
The home-field advantage here is pretty significant.

I assure you I'm taking this much less personally than it appears through the opacity of the Internet.
I may be a bit emotionally tilted from being sick and some back pain.
These things happen.

Get well soon buddy
