That's not the thesis at all.
Since youre incapable of having an honest conversation, read the sovereign individual, it was written in 1996 - so pre btc.
Read the book, or dont & keep spewing nonsense.
Discussion
Lysander comes across as someone really beating themself up and then getting angry again and repeating. I have a colleague like this who however much says he wishes to talk about a topic just answers for you and argues with himself 🤷♂
Notice how not a single blockchain enthusiast has been able to avoid the ad hominem personal attack? That's how you know you're dealing with cognitive dissonance.
Nostr has laid bare just how centralized Bitcoin Core with it's ~5 core developers + the grand unified Bitcoin blockchain with a singular authoritative version, distributed not decentralized, really are.
Not a personal attack, just noticing how you love getting wound up. You want everyone to agree with you about your view of Bitcoin. No one does but you still keep arguing on. 🤷♂️
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already, but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already.
This is true for #[2] and most other brainwashed economist nowadays. They will all die on the hill, that they know better already.
Most non economists understand #Bitcoin way faster by approaching the topic from first principles. Especially if they live in authoritarian regimes with high inflation.

I approach life from this view and agree. I don't wish to attack Lysander, he has his views and I respect them. I just don't agree and it's pointless to keep arguing round and round as he does. After quite a while now in and around Bitcoin's deep rabbit hole it's clear this is a phenomenal paradigm shift to a sound money standard and what it will bring for so many
I fully agree. It’s clear that he hasn’t done the work after reading some notes, which is fine as long as he does not attack people with another opinion.
Anyway, he will get humbled as everybody else who attacks #Bitcoin. They are all actually attacking their own reputation.
#followed BitcoinSandy
Agreed Sandy.
If someone argues using a long list of names and spams my notifications with nonsense, he doesn't deserve a response. That's like a salesperson placing his foot in the door. Debates are not held like that.
Another lie, to obfuscate weak argument (s).
I've have read swaths of it. I saw nothing 'sovereign' about what's now better called 'the network state'. I see it along the lines of The Zeitgeist who were openly pushing post-state blockchain based Communism.
- There's nothing 'sovereign' about taking the choice of ledger (or none at all) out of the hands of the trading parties themselves and logging it all in one grand unified public blockchain.
- There's nothing 'sovereign' about depending on a centrally issued fiat (yes, 21M is an arbitrary number, proving it's fiat nature -- could have just as easily been 42M cos it was decreed into existence) token.
- There's nothing 'sovereign' about being unable to buy or sell bananas without a electricity and an Internet connection.
Here's a book I highly recommend for you -- "Debt: The First 5000 Years" by David Graeber is a study of actually decentralized currency; how people traded before centrally issued fiat wannabe-monopoly brands like USD and BTC:

Free audiobook version. The 2nd chapter is called "The Myth of Barter". It wasn't that. Each merchant generated their own credit, on their own private ledger, which was destroyed without a trace when they 'broke even'. Your grand unified global public ledger knows nothing of decentralization.
So your reading comprehension is nill, this isnt an ad hominem - just a conclusion im forced to make if this what youre focused on, rather than the actual thesis of why a cryptographoc currency is not only viable, but will allow people to more readily vote with their feet.
Can you guys stop tagging everybody?
Oh cool, you can remove the tags
How?
On amethyst, click on those little Xs near the names.
Don't know on Damus though, I wiped my iPad clean
