I will ride this thing to fucking zero.

Money has to essentially have salability across space and time.

If it is not salable across space, then it is no good for the current age! You are stuck with your tribe and what they produce.

If it is not salable across time, e.g., high inflation, then you can’t trust holding it. You have to gamble it to preserve your wealth (modern finance).

Throughout the history of money, these two qualities have been in trade-off; you had to give up one to get the other. For example, you give up gold for gold notes to get higher salability across space.

Bitcoin has solved that for once and forever, with information scarcity. Perfect salability across space with internet. Perfect salability across time with capped supply. Few!

Currently reading “Bitcoin is Venice”. It is a great book, highly recommend it.

These look great! Any way to get my hands on one of these in Vancouver?

Hello Nostr! My first note here.

This is Mehran. I am a PhD student in computer science and a bitcoiner! Looking to connect with people here.

Btw, such a shame that can’t use zaps here in Canada! Why would it even matter where I’m located as I have my own self-custodial wallet? Who could possibly stop me from zapping people? Is this only due to app store pressures?
