LN, coin-pools, mining, bitcoin itself as sovereign money, nuclear weapons
it's mexican standoffs all the way down
the only way civilization stabilizes is by introducing "we're all in this together" mechanisms. for better and for worse
wine makers have standards of living they need to maintain, what's wrong with you?
the only way of scaling bitcoin is keep building on the fundamental dynamics of the Mexican standoff

how do you explain a decade and a half barely surviving on ZIRP and now 5.25% and nothing 🤔
i can get the appeal of retiring early but nobody really wants to retire, people mostly want to reach some level of personal wealth that can make them comfortable about the future of them and their children
