🤤 The boy and the heron is a great movie btw
nicely done! 🥳
90s (to me) were hanging out in book stores collecting stationary supplies and stickers, recording stuff off the radio onto cassette tapes
and a lot of nintendo
Imho,I don't think Andreas holds up anymore 🤭
Some more unique things are like Gigi's essays and 21 lessons, Brandon Quittem's Mycelium of Money, or Erik Cason's Cryptosovereignty, those books will take you on some fun rabbit holes 🥳
my reading hack is loading up epub files in Librera Reader and have Google Text-to-Speech read them
Off the top of my head, Shelling Out, Ethics of Money Production, all the Timonthy May stuff from the Library. Everyone's a Scammer, Speculative Attack, Hoarding Bitcoins, Gradually than Suddenly from the Mempool.
I started out with Shelling Out because it was like "the thing to read" before The Bitcoin Standard was a thing
if you read enough Bitcoin books, then eventually you'll end up reading all of the articles posted in the institute anyways as many are cited (some of them already turned into books)
Bitcoin will give you a reading habit whether you like it or not 🤣
🥳 been a fan since the beginning!
How Bitcoin matters to humans today may be unrecognizable to the users who aren't even born yet. heck, PDF format might not be used in 100 years -- satoshi's 9 pages might as well be the Rosetta stone in the future 🤷
To be able to provide a meaningful set of guidelines for the generations we'll never meet to not fuck up Bitcoin is worthwhile -- I think religion's timeless lessons have something to offer as one passes Bitcoin on as the world changes 🙏
Bitcoin may very well be invincible to not have to worry at all, but we're still lucky to remember when it was at its most fragile -- Lots to pass on, and don't need to follow some man in the sky to tell what needs to be done
Email might not last 100 years for the same reason the world stopped using Telex, who is to say these initial 15 years aren't the easiest?
Bitcoin isn't email 👀
It's a fun read -- I'm not religious at all, I am fascinated by other's beliefs
Bitcoin is an idea I'd hope to extend past multiple lifetimes; religion has a pretty good track record in keeping itself together so (maybe) there's probably something valuable to get from it.
For example, it can be said that Bitcoin has its own form of value/ethics that must be upheld (those who don't uphold them fork off). Coming up with guidelines for hoe Bitcoin users to conduct themselves and how they interact with their peers is what node software does -- sounds a bit like religion, no?
After everyone that could have possibly interacted with Satoshi is six feet under, all the core developers in our lifetime have been forgotten, all the meme-ers have gone outside to touch grass forever, books lost to history... How to expect Bitcoin to keep going uncorrupted by easily-corruptible users?
Not many come back 🤔
BDS is a very strange (and real) phenomenon
depends how one looks at it, handing over education to the state (emperor in this case) probably a pre-requisite to undergo militarization -- the islands of Japan were never capable to raise national armies before.
Like part of a skill tree to unlock to raise an army across an empire.
it was definitely in practice pre-ww2. The schools my grandparents attended are still around (Taiwan), still same traditions 🥳
I looked it up, that style school system was established by the Meiji (1868) government modeling European (German/Austrian?) school systems -- to bring Japan into the modern era and establish their empire
Japanese schools teach their students to clean up after themselves because keeping the classroom clean is a form of respect for the teacher. One could argue that particular tradition took root when Imperial Japan underwent militarization across the empire.🤔
Nah, by that logic cities near military bases should be cleaner than the rest 🤨 pretty sure that's not true
