Hurts so good

Read #PriceofTomorrow by nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe It deals with this subject in detail... highly recommended

The price of commodity will fall to the cost of production, yes. That's why commodity producers often form gangs... I mean legitimate trade unions... (OPEC being the best example) But producers find a myriad of ways to de-commodify their goods; trademarkes, patents, and IP law help uphold these "moats" of differentiation... you may know how the recipe to Coca-Cola but you can not sell a soft drink with that name.

Correct. You must beat the "hurdle rate" of bitcoin return, that is the true cost of capital. So at 100% annual return the market tells me to hold bitcoin and make the money more scarce and sound, but when bitcoin gets to a sufficient size in market cap that rate will drop (logarithmic progression). As it drops other activities will yield a higher return, but the beauty is that people will be highly selective in their investments and malinvestments will be greatly reduced... an efficient capital market emerges.

The price will follow a logarithmic progression (a disinflationary pric, forever higher in absolute terms but lower and lower in percentages)

I disagree. Bitcoin will provide a true cost of capital (~100% APR over the last ten years) . This is the market telling you that the most important thing you can do is establish a sound money. After BTC reaches true scale (2030's) this yearly return will drop I think by an order of magnitude (~10%). I think plenty of business can operate that return 10% more value to shareholders than idle capital.

If the Fed tries to draw on the Treasury General Account things would get *very* interesting.

The central banks are now extracting money directly from national treasuries! You know what it reminds me of: the Lanz Bulldog tractor. A huge archaic design of a tractor that if it slowed down too much would reverse (!) polarity of the engine, and often times flip backwards and kill everyone on board.

Real talk: You think these aliens like to party?

On a long enough timeline we all become enemies of the state. -Trotsky ?

A transaction is an expression of value... they're the same

No need... I subscribe to fractal theory that larger super structures mirror the smaller structures and vic-versa: it's fraud top to bottom, inside and out.

Compare this to bitcoin in which there will never be a fraudulent transaction, and now imagine the structures to be build atop bitcoin. *That* is the real noodle cooker

If she floats she's a witch!! It should be engraved on all court buildings.

Doesn't matter... chainanalysis will be used against enemies of the state as a "100% fact" and idiot juries will convict based on these "facts".
