New interview with What Bitcoin Did with Peter McCormack
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/07/press/what-bitcoin-did-with-peter-mccormack/
I didn't understand at about minute 40 why bitcoin is seen as a liability and would need offset by USD per potential new regulations. Also I can't zap you!
#asknostr is this right?
The taught assumption that the modern US Political System is for us and is functional is the fuel that drives the divide in the general population when both main parties supply unacceptable candidates. This is exacerbated by echo chambers that play down the issues with "your" candidate and play up the issues with the other candidate.
Because it is thought that it is a functional system and for the people is why we blame the other side for having such dismal candidates, when in reality that's not the source of the issue.

Just now reading this - it is excellent so far. It's also a bit overwhelming to gaze upon humanity's collective strings & wonder about your own moral positions.
Mix with goat cheese and honey!
For sure, the way I'm defining violence isn't tied specifically to morality or offensive violence vs defensive violence. But if a society or individual starts to create wealth without also creating a well organized allied force of violence then that wealth won't have staying power because a foe with organized violence will eventually take it. I made the graph because I'm visual and struggling with my own morality given its implications (if generally correct). I'm almost saying violence is moral but only if the game it's protecting is "good enough". But then the moral question becomes what game is "good enough" to kill for. I guess people in the military think about this a lot, but it's a new framework for me. Also, as I'm thinking about leaving wealth to my children, if this relationship holds, the more wealth I have to pass on, the more violence is required to back up that wealth. #bitcoin may be the only wealth technology that falls outside this logic? Or maybe the logic itself is flawed.
#asknostr does this seem generally correct at the idea level? I've been reading a lot of history from Greece to Japan to early US and it seems wealth is almost universally tied to one's proximity to allied violence and distance from the violence of Foes. I think nothing has changed even in the modern era, though many of us likely think we're not violent or associated with violence. Hopefully #bitcoin can lead us to a future where this isn't as true.

A historical look at what wealth is seems to be the ability to organize violence. Those who can do that most effectively are the wealthiest. Does this mean the only #bitcoin hedge needed are the tools for violence?
