Diving deep into Austrian economics 🧠📘

Finding so many brilliant minds, and a lot of it is actually in German like this little clip from Hans-Hermann Hoppe.

It’s a pleasure to hear him and others speak in German, which makes the whole rabbit hole even more enjoyable.

Such a powerful framework to understand what’s really going on.

Good Morning #noster

Love this piece of art in Kreuzberg #berlin

Großstadtromantik.

Spots like this playground bring me straight back this is the Berlin of my childhood in the 80s.

Raw edges, graffiti walls, that quiet charm of forgotten corners.

Feels like home. You don’t see much of this around the city anymore.

Hanging out here with my son strangely nourishes something deep in my city boy soul.

Gm #noster The picture in the picture

Zoom in we did enough to zoom in

Gn #noster kiddo is doing things with the things

Gm again #nostr here is the collection

A butterfly, a dragon, an elegant and a.…. Guess what :)

Gm #nostr a 🦋 landed on my kiddos' hot chocolate:)

Hidden gem in Eberswalde: this little coffee spot doesn’t just serve great coffee they turn it into art.

This dragon on my cappuccino? Almost too magical to drink

Achte auf deine Gedanken,

denn sie werden zu Worten.

Achte auf deine Worte,

denn sie werden zu Handlungen.

Achte auf deine Handlungen,

denn sie werden zu Gewohnheiten.

Achte auf deine Gewohnheiten,

denn sie werden dein Charakter.

Achte auf deinen Charakter,

denn er wird dein Schicksal.

Das macht so Sinn.

Ach Mist, könntest du mir mal einen Link schicken bin seit fünf Jahren im Space aber fange jetzt erst an zu connecten, musste mich vorher im Rabbithole suhlen

This pollen looks like snow.

Such a strong Berlin childhood memory, we used to chase it through the air… and yeah, sometimes burn it just for fun.

Back then, it felt like magic.

Still looks magic ✨

Another peace from the artist paradox.

Used your post to have chatGPT help me break down and understand each element better:

1. The Block Size

• What it is: Each block can only hold a limited amount of transaction data.

• Current limit: ~1 to 4MB (via SegWit).

• Why it matters: It forces a trade-off—Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization (smaller blocks mean more people can run nodes) over processing huge volumes of transactions.

2. The Supply Cap

• What it is: Bitcoin has a hard-coded limit of 21 million coins.

• Why it matters: This makes Bitcoin provably scarce, unlike fiat currencies which can be endlessly printed. Scarcity gives it store-of-value properties (like digital gold).

3. The Difficulty Adjustment (absolute genius)

• What it is: Every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks), Bitcoin adjusts how hard it is to mine a block.

• Why it’s genius: If miners suddenly increase, blocks will come too fast—Bitcoin increases difficulty. If miners drop off, it lowers it.

• Result: This keeps block times stable and makes Bitcoin resilient to fluctuations in mining power, no matter how much energy or hardware is thrown at it.

4. The ~10-Minute Block Interval

• What it is: On average, a new block is mined every 10 minutes.

• Why it matters: This is a deliberate balance:

• Long enough to minimize orphaned blocks (conflicts between miners)

• Short enough to confirm transactions in reasonable time

• Helps keep decentralization—no one miner can dominate block production

5. The Fee Market

• What it is: When block space is scarce, users compete with fees to get included.

• Why it matters:

• Incentivizes miners (especially important after block rewards diminish)

• Encourages economic use of the chain (not spam or junk)

• Makes Bitcoin self-sustaining without central planning

6. Private/Public Keys

• What it is: Each user controls a private key (a secret) that proves ownership of Bitcoin. From it, a public key (your address) is derived.

• Why it matters:

• You can receive with your public address

• You can only spend with your private key

• Gives true financial self-sovereignty—no need for banks or permissions

7. The UTXO Set (Unspent Transaction Outputs)

• What it is: Bitcoin is not account-based like a bank—it’s built on a ledger of unspent chunks of Bitcoin.

• Example: If Alice sends you 0.1 BTC, that’s a UTXO. When you spend it, it’s destroyed and new UTXOs are created.

• Why it matters: It’s like cash. You hand over “coins” (UTXOs), not draw from a balance. This enhances privacy, auditability, and flexibility.

8. The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network

• What it is: Bitcoin nodes connect directly to each other, no central servers.

• Why it matters:

• Decentralized and robust

• No single point of failure

• Censorship-resistant and globally accessible

9. The Adversarial & Anti-Fragile Nature

• Adversarial: Bitcoin is built assuming participants may be greedy, dishonest, or hostile.

• Consensus rules make cheating impossible without massive cost.

• Anti-fragile: Attacks and stress make Bitcoin stronger.

• Government bans = more innovation.

• Exchange failures = more self-custody.

• Miner exits = difficulty adjusts.

Bitcoin adapts, strengthens, and evolves under pressure—like a living organism.
