Pura vida with some pics from the Wolf/Nydig offices in New York.
Fantastic week with #Bitcoiners creating the future and great to spend time with Ross Stevens, #[1], #[2], Kelly Brewster and so many others in this amazing community.
A future built on truth, hope and abundance is coming to the world….and arguably already here for many who have moved their time to the new emergent system.
Love the guitar! So many musicians (and artists) seem to get #Bitcoin. Probably something to do with how artists are often “in tune” with the future.
Thank you - 2 of 3 of those should be on that list. Will add 3rd.
Think some of what he says has merit but much doesn’t because he is trying to update his mental model without understanding technology and it’s growing influence, or what happens when an open network with bearer instrument has unlimited velocity.
Good one, and think I forgot that one on my list :)
PV from New York!
One of the top questions I’m asked is what books made an impact on me. My amazing wife just uploaded a partial (and long) list to my website.
I’ll be adding to it as I remember others but let me know if there is a book not listed that had a big impact on your thinking.
Yes - only on a #Bitcoin standard will the productivity gains be distributed broadly. It will force governments to choose complete control of markets or to embrace free markets (ie - Bitcoin)
Two different versions and each person has a choice to live in the world they want. (But the transition will be chaotic because most will measure and reinforce the legacy system)
Welcome and followed. It will get easier - get an lnurl in your profile to get zaps.
Difficult - requires decentralization with most reinforcing centralization by fighting inside a system that benefits from it.
Welcome and zapped!
Just realized I lost my blue check on the thing that had already lost me.
Most attacks are through misinformation campaigns to “try” to drive regulatory capture. Bitcoin hurts the environment, promoting/unclear rules on crypto, ftx etc to allow people to be wiped out and sweep in to save them, used by criminals etc. Bitcoin is anti-fragile and these make it stronger. Similar if exits from existing system are closed. It will probably grow faster and move to an underground economy until realizing it can’t be stopped, some countries embrace it. Wrote some on this at jeffbooth.ca and will continue.
P.S Remember how much power each of us has in driving it forward through building to it, using it for our purchases, ensuring our friends know about it and do same, etc etc. As I’ve adjusted my own probabilities of it failing down over time (to almost zero imo) as I’ve thought through various attack vectors, I think the primarily thing that slows it is apathy and hypocrisy, ie - how we only use it for a store of value while reinforcing all of the fiat world in 95% of our time and energy.
I’ve personally decided to invert that and put my money and time where it matter most. Building the future I want to see.
Hope that helps and good luck in your journey down the rabbit hole.
