Worse, gold is the reason money and state became intertwined in the first place. Gold’s lack of portability meant it had to be centralised and large forces were needed to protect it. In some ways Gold is responsible for this mess we are in.
Better in the hands of a Bitcoiner than someone/something else.
What would a Bitcoin global community charter look like?
Welcome friend with a functioning brain. Thank goodness you got out of Twitter before you ended up as cognitively impaired as the person that thought you were the crazy one.
Are the ideologies broken? Or are the implementations of the ideologies fundamentally flawed, because they were both easy to corrupt? Hate the game, not the players.
Fix the game, fix the incentives, fix the outcome = love the players.
Fair…
I can only hope with truth as our base layer for exchange people stop all this tribalist bullshit. We are animals, we are not one thing, we are many things, in many different moments. What we are, who we are, how we act is most often situationally dependent.
As for your response, all the power to you, the shots were cheap, you do you. If the other person wants to do the work, create a following etc, he can create, perpetuate whatever narrative he chooses. That’s your prerogative for doing the work.
Personally I prefer the concept of reaping the seeds one sows, and I like that BTC allows my to store my ‘seeds’ for future exchange. If one wants to reap the seeds that others sow and share those seeds unevenly amongst everyone than the fiat system seems perfect for this purpose.
Nonetheless, I’d like to read the mathematician’s work on BTC being all things to all people ;-)
I think Sophia Stewart would be proud.
Apologies, BTC also doesn’t care if your beliefs are intelligent and practical. The point is, the tech is completely impartial and thus the narrative can be whatever you want it to be for you. If you want to be a Socialist, a Marxist, a Tribalist, a Monachist, a Liberal, an Individual, a Greenie, A Flat Earther, A person of any colour, creed, religion, identifying with any nation, any gender, any sexual orientation… it does not care. That is the elegance and beauty of math.
In addition, the suggestion that BTC is right winged is also evidence of an immature understanding of the tech. BTC is for everyone it doesn’t discriminate based on idiotic or impractical beliefs… it just works, tick tock, next block. Believe whatever you want BTC literally does NOT care.
Bring it on. Can’t have a anti fragile system without attacking it from all angles.
Plus if there are weaknesses let’s get them out in the open and get to work.
Build, Deploy, Observe, Debate, Improve, Repeat.
Fair enough… is it really further to Cairns than Beechworth? Or is it that Beechworth you guys would be multiple flights or fly to Melb and still a long drive?
On a seperate note, did you see Laz’s post regarding a new societal charter? Maybe taking lead from the Magna Carta or the constitution. I think that’s worth some deep thought and collaboration. Start with the end in mind.
Interesting. Seems like some good starting points for a ‘new’ social organisation structure.
I particularly like the ‘qualified’ citizens part. I like the idea of demonstrated “proof of work”.
Ok, please enlighten me, to what evil do you refer? What am I overlooking?
I’m going to have my cake and eat it too 😉
