Check out my latest piece from the #Mises Institute

In today’s draconian landscape, open protocols act as sly, roundabout ways to circumvent traditional centralized systems, reclaiming power from the state and restoring it to the individual. In the realm of monetary networks, #Bitcoin emerges as a prime example, challenging the dominion of central banks and their destructive monetary policies. Operating as a voluntary and decentralized system, Bitcoin offers monetary transparency, limited supply, and enhanced financial inclusion.

Likewise, decentralized social networks built on protocols like #nostr present a clever workaround to platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. These networks empower users, endowing them with control over their data and defying the censorship wielded by corporations and governments. Through the adoption of open protocols, individuals reclaim autonomy and participate in a covert revolution, shaping a digital landscape that champions individual sovereignty.

Excellent piece, thank you sir.

🙏 Thanks

Are your efforts to persuade fellow Mises people effective or are they hell bent on sticking with gold Twitter and horse + buggy technology that’s obsolete?

Open protocols serve as a powerful catalyst for spontaneous order, entrepreneurial dynamism, and resistance against censorship in the digital age. By enabling decentralized decision-making, permissionless innovation, and the free exchange of ideas, open protocols harmoniously align with fundamental economic principles. Embracing open protocols empowers individuals and entrepreneurs, fostering dynamic marketplaces and propelling economic progress. Moreover, open protocols provide a critical safeguard against censorship, preserving freedom of expression and facilitating the free flow of information.

Recognizing the transformative potential of open protocols is crucial in shaping a future that upholds innovation, competition, individual empowerment, and the preservation of fundamental rights and values. Through open protocols, societies can unleash the creative energies of individuals, drive economic growth, and build a more resilient and inclusive digital ecosystem. By embracing open protocols, we unlock the true potential of the digital age, where spontaneous order, entrepreneurial dynamism, and freedom of expression flourish, leading to a more prosperous and vibrant society.
