here to learn

I was referring to communication and social media. None of those is very interesting to be, monero is too small (yet), eth has broken incentives (personal opinion, don’t feel the need to disprove me)

TBF anything custodial is pretty simple to achieve. It’s just transfering numbers.

This is silly because it’s admiting gender is a performance, which REINFORCES gender stereotypes.

At some point we lost our way: the word “woman” or “man” was on its way (still a long way to go of course) to lose relevancy socially). “So you are man? That says very little about you. Let’s learn more relevant stuff”.

But now? It’s an illogical clusterfuck.

Under the Invention Secrecy Act, the US Government would be incentivised to keep encryption breaking technology (quantum) a secret, so it could hold some intel advantage.

Remember this act has produced over 5.500 orders from inception.

Some will have access to this info and dump bitcoin.

This could the be most probable (and worst) outcome because it would create even more confusion and inertia on a much needed upgrade. You would have the dump AND no upgrade urgency.

Most people agree quantum is not very good for anything else yet, so it would be the perfect target for the Invention Secrecy Act.

You can:

-Raise the consequences for someone doing Evil.

-Eliminate the choice for doing Evil

-Prepare for when Evil is done

As an individual you can do 3, and a bit of 1.

Institutionalised power loooves 2.

❌ Not having kids because the world is shit

✅ Having kids gives you greater purpose to act on changing the world*

*even at a smaller scale, which is the only scale that matters 99% of the time)

Goodhart’s law on companies: when valuation is the most important metric, cash flow, profit, good products become secondary.

The incentive changes to spike valuations, no matter what.

Financial literacy:

“2-3% compound interest grows exponentially over time!”

Central banks:

“2-3% inflation stabilises prices over the long run”

I keep telling people , release those tools fast, so people can quickly understand they can’t trust what they see and need to verify.

I thought it was specifically Catholicism, but I don’t know how much was I misinterpreting something I heard. Cultural bias here

What’s news? That’s he has converted to Catholicism?

Leave what? I’m not in England. I’m also not in a big city, no cameras here yet, but satellites are coming.

People like to ignore that Luke has weird worldviews regarding power structures , religion, taxes etc.

(Its not a technical challenge though, since it’s centralised)

Is depressing seeing journalists champions a CBDC. They basically saw no downsides, just “right wing is against it”

Ooh, asking again for me to shut up, not very uncensorious of you

I don’t want to talk about this anymore, but let’s call what happened what it was.

An execution.

And executions are political and justifiable by some because of that weight. It communicates “We don’t allow this here”.

Kirk’s political ideas have been argued before and whether you like or not, were once even culturally defeated.

Freedom of speech means we will have to reargue the some points over and over again, yes.

Freedom is not an intuitive concept as we’d like it to be.

I say let’s cancel everyone once and for all.

Nostr unaffected.

It’s not Bitcoin, it’s every single freedom tech. I’ve met 3 people in the wild that use Linux personally.

Do you know who else uses Linux?

99% of Big Tech.

I’ve only heard of a second hand account of someone using Signal IRL in my world. Do you know who was using it? Local politicians

Every fucking time.

At some point I have to admit most people will always go for safety vs freedom.

Billionaires are known for limiting how their kids access social media.

But for some reason, poor people want and need the government to actively stop them from accessing it.

It’s depressing.

That’s why you keep saying it. Humbling is not something you are it’s something you do
