Maybe this was part of what you were thinking? I had just been thinking identity would mean BitClout style.
Next shitcoin bubble is Balaji selling you "passports"/"citizenship" to his "virtual country". 0.1, 1, and 10 btc passports to maximize reach of the scam. #[0], this makes a lot more sense than *identity* as you have been predicting.
H/T #[0], thanks for sharing, great stuff... alas, many bitcoiners are undergoing a sort of moral capitulation and embracing the "ironic", the great tragedy of this era.

Is this a subnote? This is the answer to winter ball sunning.
Elon Musk's work, fusion, most biotech, and most "deeptech" in Silicon Valley is masturbatory futurism pornography. When you become satisfied with this porn, you enable frauds, misallocation of capital, and suppress desire for the real thing.
Tbh, yeah, fuck that scammer. He unfollowed me a while ago. Guessing I might be muted, but 4 million sats is 4 million sats 🤷♂️
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Someone remove this racist hate speech. #NostrEndsDemocracy

Zaps are cool and everything and I'm no Balaji fan, but he is putting up a million dollars for memes on twitter 🤯 (and charts and stuff). I put together a reply thread with some nuclear-grade orangepilling material.
As tingly as high power red and near infrared candles? #photobiomodulation
"Men" today are so weak and incapable of being masters of the physical universe, all they can imagine is controlling people who are too weak to reject their subjugation by such losers.
Not your Bitcoin DLC, not your derivative
There are similar sorts of things that bitcoiners could fund today, better, in fact. There is a latency to people realizing what is possible in hardware and the world is not what it was 1-2 decades ago.

Ask someone on the street if they would rather have 40,000 sats or $10 next week, and they will likely say $10. Ask them if they want to receive 40,000 sats or $10 in exactly 3 years, and they are easily 10x more likely to take the sats. Decisions like this exist at every turn, and people are forced into dollars because the tools to do otherwise do not yet exist!
These tools can and will be built. The transition will be one of SaaS tools for contracts to support ever shifting fractional denomination in hard assets, which is to say, business will be done with composite (index) currencies before they are fully bitcoin. There will be the maximal hardness that volatility allows.

I agree. I was reading the other day about how Poincaré observed the aesthetic nature of physics models and was able to use it as a reliable, overarching meta-heuristic.
This is also why I put together the website Civilization Metrics, so that anyone who is concerned with honest pursuits in science and engineering could have a reference framework for how to know if something actually matters.
Bitcoin is perfect. Humans are not.
It may happen one day, but I suspect these cultural shifts may take many decades after the fall of the dollar. The best example that comes to mind for me is Paul Allen funding Burt Rutan's work of Scaled Composites, with the formation of Stratolaunch. Sadly, Paul Allen died 6 months prior to the first flight.
If you don't understand why this is extremely bullish for Bitcoin, you don't actually care about the nature of adoption. You'll figure it out if you want.
Yes. All the bitcoin will still be around 1000 years from now, but there are many possibilities for the nature of the world then. I think many people fear a lack of certain comforts, which is not a masculine fear to have. Men climb mountains and pursue suffering rather than running from it.
How sad it must be to live with the noose of confidence that one's value to the world will never be able to come close to matching their bitcoin wealth. This is the curse of those implicitly revealing to themselves they were lucky.
What is the cure to this curse? Perhaps uncompromising values in the pursuit of truth and aesthetics, which is capable of transcending Bitcoin itself, for Bitcoin is critical, but it is not the primitive of life, the universe, and everything.
