Don’t see much discussion in Bitcoiner circles about Curtis Yarvin’s ideas.
One of the more unique thinkers and writers, I really enjoy unpacking his ideas to challenge my own assumptions and beliefs and see things through a different lens.
If you’re not familiar with his work, give his substack article “Bitzion: how Bitcoin becomes a state” a read. Makes Balaji look like an amateur.

nope
I instantly don’t like it on its face
thesis of the article is bitcoin needs governance by humans..this will improve it..make it stronger and better
unilaterally bad take
let’s imagine a parliament of ‘bitcoin representatives’ charged with oversight of the protocol
chosen by who? and how?
bitcoin is beautiful because of the absence of humans mucking about with it
it’s the code and nothing more
get humans involved in ‘oversight’ and it’s doomed
It’s ok bro, relax 😂 he’s just exploring it as a thought exercise through his lens.
Think of it as monarchical praxeology. #[3] might be interested in that..
