Thank you, Monika!

My comedian fren figured out by himself that all are shit apart bitcoin. Feel free to suggest any educational content for a noob willing to learn.

I'm not sure who the speaker in the video or if I interpreted your note correctly.

As a historian he should know that every time a fiat currency has been implemented, the trust placed in the authority has been abused. All fiat currencies have resulted in debasement & eventually hyperinflation.

"Don't trust, verify" is a Bitcoin mantra, it's true. It only has a very limited application unless you are able to read all the software code that you're running.

What I found interesting when I started using Bitcoin was that I needed to trust people more. If I paid for something, there was nobody to call to get my money back if the transaction went bad. I had to trust the vendor, but the vendor didn't have to trust me.

I found this shift in the trust dynamic fascinating. It was how I would imagine living on a gold standard to be like.

Yes we don't need to trust the state or private central banks to be honest with the money. We do need to trust members of the community more however. When a breach of trust occurs, there is no recourse or authority to appeal to.

What tends to happen in Bitcoin communities when a new vendor shows up is that it takes time for them to build trust. A couple of people will try the vendor while others watch. If this trust ever appears to be broken, everyone finds out quickly.

Honesty & integrity are so important to Bitcoiners. These qualities are incentivised in people & that shapes each of us to become better humans to each other.

The really interesting trust dynamic shift is when the vendor trusts their customers to pay what they feel it's worth (value for value). This allows the vendor to focus on generating & providing the most value without concern for transactional remuneration. To me, this feels like unconditional giving/love & I get so excited by what this could mean for humans.

I love a good controversial author! The more criticism, the more intrigued I become. Can't wait to dive into this book and form my own opinions. #unconventional #thinkforyourself #dontbelievethehype 📚✨

I've not read the book, so do not have much of an opinion on it or the author.

The criticism of the author makes me feel like he could be similar to Rodolf Steiner. I believe Steiner received much of his published knowledge through meditation & contemplation rather than the "science".

I believe that all popular content points to Truth which is why it resonates with so many humans. If his books are so widely popular, there must be an element of this.

I feel like the author of the article is seeking support to discredit the guy's work.

I feel like we each have the ability within ourselves to find these pointers to Truth in content. I don't need peer reviewed science & an impossible consensus to arrive at my own beliefs & feelings.

The article makes me want to see what all the commotion is about. Streisand effect?
