How bad is internet censorship/surveillance there?
Why? Reticulum already has transport nodes built in
HODLing does nothing to secure the network
Bitcoin is secured by economic nodes and miners
Depends on their age. Boomers don't want to use their brain
Thinking more,
I like the fact that a large extractive corporate can't be built on this model. Less bloat, less corruption, more prioritization of tech that actually matters. The current system incentivizes quantity and manipulation. What we really need are tools that work EXTREMELY well.
Real wealth is freedom. Freedom to make your own decisions, on your own terms, and enjoy the results of said actions.
If there's a near endless opportunity for arbitrage, this solves the FOSS funding problem. It creates a positive feedback loop: good software makes more people money, which funds more devs, who make better software.
No need to play the lottery game of creating a unicorn startup and trying to capture a market. Everyone gets rich without having to sell IP.
I have this vision of a global network of DEXs, with people doing arbitrage across them. We have to come up with some kind of short duration credit instrument to facilitate. Think US treasury repo market.
I think #Reticulum can facilitate some very interesting network topologies and security assumptions.
Future: #Reticulum trade networks
Will become exponentially important over time
Where?
Bitcoin is a fiat (no use value)
A market-based one importantly
Cheers Vlad. Loved the latest Amir ep. Get Eric Voskuil back on soon
