The trouble I see with this is that authorities naturally arise everywhere. No place on Earth has zero authorities. An anarchist (seems to me) is therefore always in a position of effectively being under the rule of some authority that they reject, while lamenting that other people are "dumb statists".

Myself, I believe that something like a state will inevitably form (if a state does not form locally for a while, the territory will just be overtaken by a larger and more remote state, which is likely worse). Therefore the sensible approach is to design the state in such a way that its power over citizens is kept in check, to avoid tyranny. This requires constant vigilance of course.

Happy to learn more about your point of view on this.

What is the definition of true anarchism?

Absolutely correct. Spending more than you earn is voluntary self-enslavement.

"What is to be done with the millions of facts that bear witness that men, consciously, that is fully understanding their real interests, have left them in the background and have rushed headlong on another path, to meet peril and danger, compelled to this course by nobody and by nothing, but, as it were, simply disliking the beaten track, and have obstinately, wilfully, struck out another difficult, absurd way, seeking it almost in the darkness. "

Bitcoin's fastest growth was in its first few years, when marketing was done on a cryptography mailing list.

Why tf does discord not have a 'bookmark' feature?

Bitcoin is easy to market, it's one of the best-selling things in history without an official marketing team

Anyone can read books, but you tend to read them a bit more closely when you have to debate and refine the ideas within them with others who have also read them, for several years

Marketing difficulty is inversely proportional to the value that the marketed thing brings

Fair! I didn't know the target audience

This wording is too difficult for most people. Easier: "Just buy and hold it for a long time. If you trade in and out you'll most likely lose."

The sad truth 😕

You mentioned that the main btc price driver in your view is liquidity. Which metrics are you using to track this?

Japan had an even steeper decline than the West

Maybe that solves the problem of the number of workers. But here I am talking about the disappearance of a people.

I don't know, it seems like most people don't really understand what it means. A fertility rate of 1.6 means that the kids' generation will only be 80% as big as that of the parents, and that of the grandkids about 64%. In Europe with average fertility rate 1.46 (assuming it doesn't keep dropping even further) the grandkids generation will be about 50% the size of that of the grandparents. Not sure that people really understand these numbers.

How can any country with a fertility rate below replacement (~2.1 children per woman) not make it a top priority to fix whatever is causing that. #asknostr

free refills?

Very cool. How does this work, e.g. with the domain name?
