I miss British HODL, Nostr only now though.
Something I’ve thought about a lot in the past couple of years:
Money is the one good that every single person uses. It’s one half of nearly every trade.
As long as the price of money is set by a centralized entity, a true free market is fundamentally impossible, because every transaction is influenced by price controls.
I literally just had to pull the car over to start writing: while listening nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe describe “lightbulb moments” (in the context of free markets and deflation), a lightbulb — call it a zap — struck me profoundly…
Unlike the fiat system, Bitcoin IS a free market for money. Meaning that in Bitcoin terms, “half the equation” is already resolved into a deflationary free market system. Even with governmental price controls on many products, because of how radically free Bitcoin is, it completely changes the nature of the trade.
What clicked for me was this: Bitcoin exists — it’s already here — meaning that, humans already, here and now, have the choice to operate/participate in a free market, where prices fall forever.
It’s not “when we reach hyperbitcoinization” or “when Bitcoin is legal tender” or “when adoption happens on XYZ level” (although all off those help to can grease the wheels). It’s already here, if you CHOOSE to measure in Bitcoin.
No joke, my mind was blown so fully that I had to pull over so that I could write this stuff down. Now that I did, I realized it belongs on Nostr 🫡
Back to the drive, and to the podcast. Thanks for keeping my wife and I company, nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u and Jeff 🙏🔥
Nicely put.
Just curious, how much BTC are you wanting to get to before your content? Reason I ask is wanting to compare verse my idea of enough.
I found your post on #opsec very helpful and insightful, I will miss all those posts.
You just saved yourself 4 years from dealing with all the volatility, think of it that way.
Will do it’s on my list, also want to setup a relay.
Right!! Can you image it going to BTC!!
One thing I miss about X, they seemed to know who the big dumpers where.
Who is dumping corn like that?
"Cryptocurrency" mining. That's a scam word, because if they were trying to be accurate or even maximize SEO, they'd just say #Bitcoin. @zerohedge blocked me a long time ago on Twitter for pointing out their shitcoin bias.
