I am consistently blown away by how many people still haven’t fully recognized that a system of credit and manipulation of money MUST centralize because it is opposition to the free market.

And even when they do realize, they continue to give their all energy to that system - thinking there is a way out, while making it stronger.

FYI - posted this because good friends (who I thought understood) just sent me a list of investments that would benefit from free AI - without having #bitcoin as the protocol repricing it all.

This is a common engineering instinct - you see a problem you try to fix it. You don't take that "step back" that everyone talks about, but no one takes.

I saw how international wires between banks are settled with a group of ladies sitting in an office in each bank and they print out the transactions in the morning on bunch of papers and then throughout the day they are rewriting these into an MS-DOS application that's virtualized in custom Windows app in Windows XP that is then virtualized via VMWaver in Windows 7. Each lady makes 50 settlements in IBIS per day and they make notable % of mistakes that they fix the next day. True story, I have screenshots.

My inner engineer was just urging and screaming at how I would fix any of these stupidities.
