Apologies, BTC also doesn’t care if your beliefs are intelligent and practical. The point is, the tech is completely impartial and thus the narrative can be whatever you want it to be for you. If you want to be a Socialist, a Marxist, a Tribalist, a Monachist, a Liberal, an Individual, a Greenie, A Flat Earther, A person of any colour, creed, religion, identifying with any nation, any gender, any sexual orientation… it does not care. That is the elegance and beauty of math.
Discussion
My response was much more heated than warranted and I was onboard with a sensible conversation about it until he added the “edit it from existence” and “perpetuate the myth” as if I owed him something by not trying to twist an aggressively anti-property rights ideology to fit the most fundamentally sound system of digital property ever implemented.
That shit gets to me in a very special way. That said, I’m dumb for taking it personally despite the cheap accusation.
You could read it and give your take to it. Sort of like Moss-Svetski did, just less prep.
Fair…
I can only hope with truth as our base layer for exchange people stop all this tribalist bullshit. We are animals, we are not one thing, we are many things, in many different moments. What we are, who we are, how we act is most often situationally dependent.
As for your response, all the power to you, the shots were cheap, you do you. If the other person wants to do the work, create a following etc, he can create, perpetuate whatever narrative he chooses. That’s your prerogative for doing the work.
Personally I prefer the concept of reaping the seeds one sows, and I like that BTC allows my to store my ‘seeds’ for future exchange. If one wants to reap the seeds that others sow and share those seeds unevenly amongst everyone than the fiat system seems perfect for this purpose.
Nonetheless, I’d like to read the mathematician’s work on BTC being all things to all people ;-)
But in communist society there will be no sence to keep bitcoin network running.
Please explain?
To get products of common means of production you do not need to exchange values between people so you do not need means of exchange - money and BTC particulary.
I’m sure you mean well but communism is an impractical ideal just as unconditional love is. The reality is if you add humans you can’t have true communism or true unconditional love. Humans are animals and thus we are innately wired to act like animals. For an individual to fight against that is both incredibly noble and naive at the same time. To imagine a group of individuals in a community, other than a monastery (but even there I have my doubts), is only, naïve.
When Buddha said, “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional” he was referring to humans’ propensity to attempt to rebel or fight against ‘what is’. It is far wiser to accept us as we are, animals, prone to animalistic behaviour.
What I mean by this is, we are innately wired to look after ourselves and our loved ones ahead of all others and if that means to the detriment of all others, when push comes to shove, so be it.
Communism is real possibility, not dream and ideal.
Humans are product of development of society, conditions define who are humans at last.
No, it's not correct to think about humans as animals because we do not have instincts and humans has conciousness.
How do you act like animal for example?
I didn't catch your example with group of individuals and monastery. Can you explain?
It's strange for me to quote Buddha as argument, it can't prove anything I think.
Why do we need to accept that is not exist - animalistic behaviour of humans?
No, we do not need to limit ourselves by our close individuals (relatives, friends, so on). We are all humans the same at last.
🤣🤣🤣Best of luck with all that.
