Human nature is what it is. I think honey badger’s gonna win in the end, but if it doesn’t, we can’t go blaming human nature. Bitcoin either wins in the real world or it doesn’t.

And as we build solutions, we have to take human nature into account.

Personally, I think decentralized web of trust is going to be the dark horse that works synergistically with bitcoin and changes everything.

Bitcoin: permissionless, anti-statist money.

Decentralized WoT: permissionless, anti-statist flow of information

Thank you for your optimism. As I age, it gets much harder to keep my cynicism at bay.

I’m optimistic bc I think I can see exactly how it can be done — see the url in my bio to the 30 min presentation I made about 2 years ago. Am in the process of writing a paper now with my updated thoughts.

Thank you. I’ve watched it and have been following your conversations with hodlbod and others. Much of it is over my head, but it’s opened up a few avenues of exploration as well.
