I understand what you're saying but I think if you gave both professions the same starting capital their advancement and their craft would be the same. Whether you start them with a million dollars or $100. Advancement in a craft has nothing to do with how much money you have. The advancement comes from proof of work, Not the starting capital.

What if it is easier for me to do a straight line when I have a 100$ tool vs a 10$ one?

I want to agree that progress is Proof-Of-Work, but sometime progress comes from using the right tools for the job. Some of my results have been greatly improved when I could finally afford a better tool.

Me having the possibility to afford this tool was 100% Proof-Of-Work. But my ability to make a straight stitching line was due to *buying* a better tool. I invested more capital. Which is great I'm not saying its not.

Where are you go from where you start is up to you. If you want a tool to be better then you make proof of work and buy one. It's the same for all professions. I just don't understand how some people would benefit from more money than others. Wouldn't everybody benefit equally from equal amount of money. Money is just a representation of energy labor and time

That's where we're not connecting.

It's not that some people benefit more from money than other. It's not the people. It's the work. Some work requires more capital than others.

Some work is easier to do when you have more money. Having more money does not make painting much easier. But Having more money make my work a lot easier.

Some work see their barriers of difficulty lowered by money a lot. Others less. For some work having more capital help you greatly to obtain better results. It's just how it is.

Yes some work is harder than other work. Not a controversial statement.

Maybe you're underestimating your own skills it takes to actually efficiently use better tools. Fancy brushes are no good if you don't know how to use them either.

Leathermint 9mo ago

Exactly. Fancy brushes don't help at all. There's no shortcut to painting.

I think you're over estimating my abilities. More people could get into leathercraft if they had the money to invest in. It's not that hard when you have the right tools.

But I'm not saying there's no Proof-Of-Work to it. Just that, when compared to something else, it is a little bit less dependent on it.

Just like mining. Assuming we live in the same neighborhood with the same electricity price, I could start mining tomorrow with basically no experience and be just as good as you. All I meed is the capital to buy the miner. Really easy.

Okay I understand. But I donn't see how that translates to the original argument?

You cannot become better at hashing. You can only buy more hash power. It's just about buying more and better tools.

But you will tell me that mining is not about hashing more It's about having a better hash/W and maybe you're right that looking at it from this angle is the right one.

Idk buddy but I love chatting deeply with artisans. Thank you for entertaining the conversation.

Leathermint 9mo ago

Thank you I needed to talk about that. Made me think and ponder this question a lot.

But after writing this, I realize I was wrong to say that having larger capital helps you be a better miner. It's not true and not what I should e said.

What I'm really trying to say is that there is no barrier to become as good as the other miners but having the capital to buy one. Having more hashing power probably dosen't make you a 'better' miner.
