"Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interest of everyone hangs on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us."
"I know only too well how hopeless it seems to convince impassioned supporters of the Socialistic Idea by logical demonstration that their views are preposterous and absurd.
"I know too well that they do not want to hear, to see, or above all to think, and that they are open to no argument.
"But new generations grow up with clear eyes and open minds.
"And they will approach things from a disinterested, unprejudiced standpoint, they will weigh and examine, will think and act with forethought."
It is for them
- Ludwig von Mises
*different or better!
This was an blast.
Great chat about UTXO introspection, covenants and the total activation taboo. I'm sure it will ruffle some feathers. But there conversations need to be had out loud.
Fall as sleep, drop your panties or get mad.
2hrs for your to enjoy.

The story of commodity money is a story about technological progress. Various commodity monies serve as honest and fair ledger systems up until technology reaches a point where one group gains an unequal advantage, which then forces everyone else to adapt or lose.

"At its core, money is a ledger. Commodity money serves as a ledger governed by nature. Bank money serves as a ledger governed by nation states. Open-source money serves as a ledger governed by users. As the book explores, the evolution of technology changes the prevailing power structures and incentives surrounding money from era to era."
