>> Please walk me through how there would be no corporate farms in hyperbitcoinized world - would like a more direct answer to this question.

Centralization has many reasons beyond the soundness of the money or the politics of it. It’s called economy of scale. Many costs go down in mass production.

I’ve talked about it in a number of episodes, I’ll try to dig one up. But maybe this would make a fun video by itself. I’ll try to boil it down to as simple an explanation as I can if I do.

But exploring the effects are fascinating and this isn’t even one of the crazy ones. Due to 30 year financing being below the cost of its resources, actually alters how cities grow and migrate. It’s a huge part of the flow of wealth from the center to the outskirts of the city in suburbs and the like. A great book that talks about how and why the model for these is based on misinformation (ironically an author who also didn’t quite understand how potent a role money was playing) is “Strong Towns” by Charles Marohn. Another fun read about this type of topic if it interests you.

Won’t you agree about that?

It is not the only factor, there are millions. But there is none more foundational than the access to capital. Economies of scale always exist, but fiat unnaturally subsidizes it to an enormous degree regardless of what proportion of influence it has on any particular production hierarchy or market.
