I acknowledge your soil, and I counter with a photograph I captured of clay.

No, but now i’m definitely having one.

I might have a glass of wine with lunch.

Good morning ✌️🧡

LOVE YOU ALL.

I think I’m gonna get a t shirt for conference season that says “UTXHOE”

comment if you think this is a good idea. zap if you think it’s a bad idea.

Re-reading parts of The Sovereign Individual for the critique I'm writing about Davidson and Rees-Mogg's arguments, and the thing that really stands out at me -- and I think this is also a problem that the hyperbitcoinization crowd suffers from -- is this almost religious belief in technological determinism, as the way to predict the future.

Technology is a powerful driver of culture, and in some respects can just be considers part of culture, so it goes without saying that technology helps shape and influence society. I'd never argue against a thing. But I would generally argue against any thinking that views culture and politics as *downstream* of technology. It's a complex interplay between human nature, individual and group differences, economic conditions, political climate, etc. These things interact with each other. Technology doesn't just drive all the others towards some deterministic end. I think that's actually silly!

Agree.

That’s actually not Mr Watts, he has passed. The individual running this account does a bang up job of representing though.

A #Bitcoin maximalist is someone who’s experienced the pain of not being fully allocated to Bitcoin in the past, and is determined not to make that mistake again.
