Great conversation , it highlights how much cognitive cost it takes to understand what #bitcoin really is.
I do think though that nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe could have addressed George's examples in a more specific manner in stead of talking big picture since you have to kinda hand hold the uninitiated a bit .
But overall fantastic!
Also thank you nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx for making this happen!
Gammon can’t see the new world coming. Not a lot of people can. They’re extrapolating todays clown world into the future for forever despite all the historical cases of technology altering humanity’s course. He basically swaps the USD with Bitcoin in todays time and assumes human incentives stay the same.
If you can’t create new money or steal easily, humans will be forced to spend their time earning Bitcoin. Sadly, today not many people want to truly work for their wealth. So Bitcoin will compete vs the current system and over time it’ll get more and more people to adopt it and adopt proof of work. The current system will eventually implode.
