What will be the sign of wealth on a Bitcoin Standard? Will there be signs? Will signs compromise security?
Discussion
Armed guards probably. That's how it works it most countries with insane wealth gaps.
Not ideal, but likely the reality.
Hate this reality but yes, is what it is. I think I’d rather be below or off the radar completely but I fear that would be a lonely life. Or have enough wealth to create your own reality!
I think it all depends how fast the adoption happens. The slower and more grassroots the better.
Historical examples of technology adoption happen fast and initially create a greater distance between haves and have-nots before making their way down the supply chain.
Ultimately those who create the most value will benefit (proof of work) so in the longrun I think it will be fair. Much better than our current system. Some bitcoiners may also choose to provide public services that will lift others up with no strings attached.
In many ways I am already living in a reality seperate from a majority of society. I anticipate that will accelerate.
Have you come across this book?
Agree with all of that! Slow and steady would be ideal overall. No I have not come across this book…just ordered it on eBay…the reviews on Goodreads are pretty remarkable! How did you come across it?
I was drawn directly to it sitting on a bookshelf at an intentional living community.
When I picked it up the person standing there said it was her favorite book. It is exactly what I needed.
