9 years in bitcoin and itās truly remarkable how much Iāve learned aboutā¦
History of distributed systems
Cryptography
Cyber security
Macro economics
Geopolitics
Monetary history
All without having much of a prior interest in any of the subjects.
How can I know more about cryptography applied to bitcoin?
Start with hashcash.org. Play with ian coleman's BIP39 tool.
Same but with only 3 years.
The last three years Iāve learned more about how the world works than Iāve done the 36 years of my life prior to falling into the rabbit hole.
Itās #bitcoin adventure time š¤š¼š
Thatās a really good point. Many important topics related to #bitcoin
Greatest teacher Iāve meet in my lifetime. Along with the knowledge gained.. an even greater impact is the change in relationships. When something causes you to expect better of the world and of yourself.. you canāt help but expect better of those close to you as well.
Incentives and game theory, both extremely interesting and useful in understanding the world, yet totally ignored by the education system.
#Bitcoin and #Nostr fixes this
Yes! 6 years in and same.. haha if you met me youād crack up, last person in the world youād think would be passionate about anything digital š
Would add:
Game theory
Human psychology
Cypherpunk anarchy
Libertarianism
Value of cyber privacy
Austrian economics
Metcalfeās Law/ Schelling point/ Lindy Effect
Snap. I would argue that one of the best universities in the world is The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole. #TBRH
True. Bitcoin space is a big school. I am a better human being after all the last years. Bitcoin give the opportunity to think about the future again and wonderful things come from this.
For me it was all those subjects rolled into one, I literally read Human Action in 2010, then the next year started hearing of it from Max Keiser. Who I could not take seriously.
I stumble from one rabbit hole into the next š
Definitely learned things I wouldnāt have elsewhere likely, like the deeper history of cryptography, money, and distributes systems, but even more wild is it opened the door for me to understand my own field more in depth, and gave me a better pair of glasses to watch for military intelligence, cyberwarfare, and modern means of garnering consensus.
7 years for me...it's been a wild ride. š¤
Just diving in now myself and am constanly amazed at the amount of deception that goes into money. #shss
But do you own a lambo?
The Rabbit Hole is real.
I hope I can say the same 9 years from now
the past 7yrs in #Bitcoin
has honestly made me more calm, and compassionate human
Itās a beautiful journey!š¤š»
