I’m being purposefully pedantic here, but what complex systems do is keep themselves in equilibrium.
Question is: Is bitcoin a complex system?
I think not.
Seems I’m wrong… it is a complex system, but it is a very peculiar one.
I think it may exhibit more permanence than any other complex system, due to its ability to keep itself instantiated by human minds, and its minimalistic and foundational utility.
