Lack of self awareness. Plain and simple. This is why it feels at times as if we are “waking up”. One by one.

IMO Bitcoin is a beacon. A signal that calls us (in our own time) to study and evolve and then build on top of it. For all of humanity.

It’s hard for me too, but try and be patient and accepting. ESPECIALLY for those still “deep asleep”.

Do you have any back of the envelope work product to show this is still (definitively) a long way off?

The reason I ask is that I’m close with a well meaning independent think tank of systems engineers that believe we are within 5 years of the cost curves of solar, wind and batteries not only being competitive but surpassing fossil fuel energy density. At the local level, even.

I’m skeptical, but I don’t have the detailed understanding of the cost curves and physics that would validate or disprove their claims….

And I’m too lazy to spend the time recreating it all from scratch.

Was hoping you were my shortcut 😝

Serious question Lyn.

Have you personally done the work on WHEN the existing cost curves of Solar, Wind and Batteries MIGHT converge to provide local system (not grid scale) energy density that would rival existing fossil fuel systems?

I have an intuition that this will be required for humanity to move to the next stage of civilization organisation.

Interconnected independent local systems instead of large scale centralised ones.

Thx 🙏🏻

It’s the exact OPPOSITE actually. You should study Bitcoin…..😉

Will help you slowly drop your fiat/scarcity lens….the one that thinks we need the global governments approval and cooperation for Bitcoin to succeed.

In actuality, we need the government’s RESISTANCE for it to succeed.

Chew on that one….👁️😘

What they claim….FYI

Indeed.

It’s the perfect yardstick to measure productivity as we move further into hyper-tech deflation. 💵 🔥

They claimed to have stock pilled them before the ban. Not that they didn’t use them at all. They just used less of them.

For what it’s worth.

Time to stop trying to get the monkeys to understand 🙈

That’s a sad interpretation that says far more about you than him….

I hear you. Nice to get the perspective from someone with such a depth of knowledge and local expertise.

I’ve spent 30+ years studying and working in the plumbing of the global debt markets. From my perspective, this is the “fat lady singing”. The deflationary impulse from FOSS (and localised!) AI will be a wrecking ball for US big tech and therefore the whole domino chain of risk assets.

The aggregate amount of global monetary expansion required to even ATTEMPT to stabilise the fall out will be over 100trn by 2030. Meaning every western fiat currency (even the precious, hegemonic US dollar) will enter hyperinflation. 💵 💶 💴 🔥

This was ALWAYS the obvious, inevitable end game. It’s just that NOW, we can see it unfolding in real time.

It is more important than ever, in my opinion, than we run (full speed) building out the stacked protocol that Bitcoin provides the opportunity to develop. MoE as well as SoV.

Without both, I fear humanity may be in for a prolonged period of regression….

The govt (US or otherwise) cannot and will not EVER dominate global hash.

I don’t feel like writing the few paragraphs to explain right now, but it is100 impossible as long as the network keeps growing.

And if it doesn’t, it/we are fucked anyway.

Dont spend another nanosecond worrying about this.

Peace 😘

Bingo!!! 🎯

I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around the staggering 2nd and 3rd derivative spill on effects of this….it is LITERALLY mindblowing 🤯

How does US big tech even ATTEMP to counter this? I just can’t see any way this genie goes back in the bottle! 🧞‍♂️😵

Thank God…..

Time to stop trying to cram Bitcoin into a decrepit and dying form of central governance.

Let’s move on and keep building our (post-Nation State) abundant future!!! 💓🧬💫

I’ve had a similar sense 👽☺️

Civilization built on FOSS is the future humanity has been waiting for since the beginning of recorded history. And likely much much longer….

Strap in…. 🚀🧬💫

Nice! Buzz me when you get close to the Wakatipu and I’ll buy you a really nice dinner!

Did you start north or south? I’m in central Otago….🙏🏻😌

To be clear…what Sam A (and the other tech oligarchs) mean when they say “we need to change the social contract of humanity”, is that we (your tech overlords) want you to agree to a dystopian tech-surveillance state. Globally. With no elected leaders or representation.

Only “AI” programmed by 6 or 7 tyrannical, fear based, self hating humans.

Thank GOD it’s already doomed to failure….🙏🏻😌
