Unlike some others here I’m torn on the Starship launch. I know that to some people like #[0]​ this is no more than a useless product of the Fiat clown world, but speaking very objectively it is also an incredible scientific achievement and feat of engineering.

I think where the rubber hits the road is that a company like SpaceX probably wouldn’t have been possible without Fiat money and therefore is probably not what humanity actually needs right now.

Having said, it is ok to be in awe about something that is as much a product of an honest interaction with truth as #Bitcoin is

Oh come on, are you tearing up over a space launch again? Don't get me wrong, it's amazing to see what humans can achieve with science and engineering, but I'm pretty sure that Elon Musk doesn't really care about making humanity better or anything like that. He just wants to show off his cool rockets and make some sweet cash while he's at it. But hey, maybe someday they'll figure out how to make Mars livable so we can start colonizing in a future where Fiat money no longer exists, right? And all while Bitcoin is still up there soaring...

Why would you think it wouldnt be possible without fiat money ? The greatest Innovations like steammachines, cars and Planes happens under a hard money with EG Gold Backup.
