Have you ever read Emergence by Steven Johnson?

It’s an overlooked book that I read 20 years ago.

It explains how a small set of simple rules can give rise to vastly complex higher order systems.

It’s a super important concept because people always underestimate the impact of small changes to the foundational rule set.

Bitcoin is such a change. It will take time to propagate, but as things are turned over, destroyed and rebuilt again, Bitcoin will become more and more prominent and the higher order complexities that are the economy will fundamentally change.

You would like Chaos, by Gleick - if you haven’t already read it.

Yes that’s a great book too.

Helped me link determinism -> luck and understand orders of complexity.

Eventually led me to believe that adaption > planning for complex things.

Caveat: my understanding isn’t necessarily correct! But it’s all I have. 😂
