What really matters is that equal opportunity remains in the system, so everyone has a chance in life.

Under a libertarian system the true meaning of royalty, position through heredity or a subjectively loyalty system (knighting) does not exist.

Finally under a libertarian system, those that inherit fortunes must still responsibly manage their assets or risk losing them.

Royalty starts with a rich man purchasing loyalty. The heredity and knighting (formalized loyalty contracts) follows the assent to royalty. It's a process.

That's not how most royalty started, in my understanding. It's way more nefarious than that.

We are watching this shit go down in real time. No need to understand, just observe.

Also, some (most?) of the people who have been fighting this extreme, grotesque Nostr market concentration the hardest and the longest and the most-valiantly are people who are not self-proclaimed libertarians and are not avid Bitcoiners.

Just lean back.

And think about that.

For a moment.

I feel like this just says everything about everything.

Yes, that seems to be the case. Which amuses me since that falls very much into line with some of the more minarchist lines of libertarian thought, which I think is too wishywashy but appeals to people who prefer many layers of neat order to society. (I do not, as long as me and mine are left TF alone, fairly obviously.)

Can you explain this like I'm 5 for the serfs who dont know the inner workings or politics of nostr?

And it's not equal opportunity, if one person starts out with 50 sats and the other with 50k Bitcoin.

Even if the latter is doing a terrible job, they will usually win because they can just buy up the market. The richtest person wins and libertarianism is just that, but even harder.

yes, the solution is always send soldiers to force the meanies to be nice, amirite?

they already have all the guns! they are just now trying to corner the bitcoin market as well. nothing new, they do this with everything.

the fundamental issue is that the courts are owned by the defendants in this case. it's a kangaroo court.

the only thing that is going to change anything is when the whole system collapses because the crops fail and lots of people die of cold and starvation and then there is a chance of starting again from a level playing field once all the players have their bags shaken out into the abyss.
