Thanks for clarifying! I'd say the first option seems the most probable *and* desirable, I can scarcely imagine how coming up with thousands of gradually improving versions of the same software system would be better than carefully planning an architecture and using whatever form of AI assistance to fill in the boring parts IMHO

Gotta love gold.

It stands today as a physical symbol of honesty, reminding us constantly the task ahead for Bitcoin.

This.

I feel like #bitcoin has put me within a few months or years of achieving just that. Tick tock, next block.

I dream of a world where people are free to pursue their own interests. Genius is waiting to be unleashed

"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail." - Henry David Thoreau, #bitcoin maxi as well

I think they have some interesting use cases, but as for now I mostly am unimpressed by them. Don't get me wrong, the technology is incredibly interesting and it's one of those things that makes me marvel at what the engineering mind can do, but how much more productive is the average software developer as a result of LLMs? It feels to me that quantity of code has never been a bottleneck anywhere

Here's everything you need to know: nothing. We need to know absolutely nothing about an airdropped token.

I think the concept is correlated to the observation that, as David Deutsch would say, a good explanation is one which is hard to change. This means that we only have a good theory of how something works on our hands whenever we cannot come up with an alternative theory with the same or greater explanatory power for the same set of problems we're trying to solve.

Definitely agree on the fact that currency is inherently less worthy since it's only a claim on money, I'm however not sure whether it should *keep* losing value after being issued the first time, meaning that it losing value is one of the core qualities of currency instead of it being simply a result of how things are with the present fiat system.

To keep things tied to Bitcoin, would you categorize chaumian ecash as currency?

I tend to agree, but does this definition imply that currency needs to inherently lose its value over time in order to be defined as one?

In other words, can we imagine a world where currency remains a representation of money without however being compromised?

Rightly so! I keep quoting Thoreau today: "Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate."

As Henry David Thoreau very much rightly said: "I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."

Sats the standard
