gotcha. my bad limited knowledge of hashes.
was thinking something similar although not as a planned per se gambit but more like Bitcoin as a technological tool coming online at an opportune time allowing the unwinding of the petrodollar by the US
well I was assuming that there was some concern that substitutions would happen instead of downsampling so by having standard downsampling options written into the protocol substitution cannot take place, just downsampling and then bloom or whoever who only want to propagate originals can chose the non downsampled version as one particular choice offered by the protocol
fascinating problem. would it be possible to embed these media downsampling algorithms in the protocol and be exposed as a client side setting ? I saw earlier mention of the need for the separation of relay code from client viewer code
great points. really enjoyed this discussion. much appreciated.
(to anyone else reading this, at least from my side, what I wrote were insights gained at that very moment thinking about these topics which I did not have possession of previously)
I really need easy mutuals indicator since that is what I usually limit to and works well for me

kinda pivotal since it’s gonna ask the question whether the bill of rights, or at least the first amendment applies to journalists worldwide
also sideshow on a related first amendment right within the EU — which up to now hasn’t been quite as codified

I have a fed story for you ! from Bluesky !
this went down just after that “hacked” SEC tweet approving the Bitcoin ETF
it was a thread that mentioned Bitcoin and I posted that it takes great “opsec” to keep one’s wallet secure and that it’s just way too difficult for most people
and this furry shows up and says his ears peaked because I said “opsec” and he just graduated from Johns Hopkins and his professor is chief of the FBI and hates Bitcoin
then for about ten seconds he posts a copy of his diploma for some reason !
I’m like, this is kinda freaky but I may as well ask so I respond
that’s too bad, at least it’s great Bitcoin isn’t seen anymore as some sort of criminal enterprise that should interest your professor anyway — better handled by the SEC and FED, right?
he kinda mum on that but two days later the SEC did approve the ETF
on the Fox News YouTube feed I watch for when they do just feeds from hearings, etc. there is one African American woman anchor and she is “doing her job” fielding these interviews, particularly on what’s happening in the Middle East. absolutely feel for her because the pundits she has on to interview supposedly giving those explanatory perspectives are always right on the cusp of flipping out if not fed exactly what they are looking for. must be very exhausting maintenance of a particular message completely divorced from reality.
a job.
you’ll most likely enjoy Hesse. was formative.
there might be a way to extract more value from permaculture than regular agriculture. one permaculture practitioner was able to command higher prices for his chickens once word got around and people asked for “the chickens that roost in trees”. this was such a novel descriptor that worked wonders for word of mouth marketing yet that is what chickens do if given the chance.
am familiar with the “rational agents” definition for parties engaging in game theory. though reasoning individuals make up a society and reasoning requires the exchange of information, even dialogue. game theory predicates on gambling on the opposing party’s ignorance to derive value or seeming advantage. this is my main issue of incompatibility with rational agents disrupting society for profit. it is very effective at accomplishing this with punitive measures inextricably imposed without a determination of guilt or innocence as in the prisoner’s dilemma. it’s the perfect survival strategy in a totalitarian system where the house always wins.
I haven't synthesized them all into one big thesis as such, especially since I haven't delved into some of those subjects (i.e. permaculture and regenerative agriculture) that deeply, yet. But here's something that sort of tries to "bridge the gap" between many of these topics (it is a WIP though and I haven't updated it in over a year):

On a grander scale, I see the divide between the State and the Individual (or, perhaps, the Tribe) already occurring as per The Sovereign Individual and I do believe it will continue. I also think that these very small city states and/or tribes that may emerge in the near future would perhaps help bring accountability back to governance, as would a Bitcoin standard (which, in and of itself, is largely in tune with the Austrian views on economics).
I see anarcho-capitalism as being a "natural state" of the economy under these circumstances, towards which the system would evolve.
Nuclear energy would probably be a large part of how we could sustain ourselves with little to no negative externalities (but again, I'm not that well-versed on the subject).
Regenerative agriculture and permaculture, would, I hope, be ways of efficiently, healthily and sustainably feeding ourselves and also regaining the spiritual connection with the land, plants, animals.
The game-theoretical problem, i.e. the prisoner's dilemma, as Schmachtenberger puts it, is perhaps my biggest question mark. Can Bitcoin fix this? I'm not entirely sure. But I do think it can make a whole lot of difference in moving us in the right direction, at the very minimum. Fixing the incentives/money is one thing. Secondary effect of fixing the incentives is that people will be able to value what is actually valuable (their friends and family, nature, art, beauty, all of what is REALLY important, literally priceless). Another part of what Bitcoin fixes is that it moves the monetary premium (i.e. prices) that we have assigned to physical objects, land, shares, etc. into the digital realm, thus disincentivizing violence. When violence is no longer profitable (or at least as profitable), co-operation will become more profitable. An honest, public, immutable ledger for monetary transactions will help co-operation to occur in an honest manner.
But IDK. I'm certainly not immune to having biases and/or blindspots, which is why Schmachtenberger would perhaps be a great person to steelman an argument AGAINST Bitcoin. He seems to have a good understanding of the systemic mechanisms behind how the world works.
I reckon I'll have to give this episode another listen sooner or later to fully digest everything he's saying.
thanks for breaking it down. remember looking at your blog because of that diagram containing the zen symbol, always sending me back to my youth reading Hesse.
I do have some experience with permaculture although never seen anyone make even close to the money farming in this way than a one minute speculation in the Bitcoin market or other securities can close out. just vastly different time scales. supposedly the practice does produce better quality food and serve as a bridge environment to wildlife which theoretically could be captured in land value. It definitely is more labor intensive and lower yield while more diverse.
I’m fairly allergic to game theory as I was brought up with a family tradition that could be considered almost puritan regarding their view of gambling. The best deal being where everyone walks away happy to deal another day, while outsize wins are severely frowned upon while losses are expected to endure scrutiny.
The state being seen as an adversary rather than an arbiter only really denotes failure of function such is symptomatic with corruption and cronyism when I go to vote or think about policy proposals.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on those topics. Those all seem like great interests and seeing them in one list I suspect you’re actively synthesizing something from the lot.
just posted that I noticed that to try to help understand the problem you described. there’s probably way more moving parts to that bridge so don’t take this as a request for devs to look into that specifically. I need to find more time to look at code myself.
