In Terry Pratchett’s critically acclaimed #Discworld series, a fictional city (Ankh-Morpork) was run by a Patrician, who legalized “organised crime” (‘organised’, a la UK spelling):

“Crime was always with us, he reasoned, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organised crime”

in contrast, Janet Yellen - in *the real world* - the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, had the political ability to mint a $1 #trillion platinum coin;

it would be “no bigger than a regular coin”

- you tell me which one makes most rational sense? 🧐

A coin is a disc

It’s still Disc world

So far just a little, I'm not buying any compost so I can't just plant everything at once.

Been focusing on growing my worm farm and deep mulch.

This year I have enough funds to buy a bunch of fruit trees - so I'm excited for that!

Also getting chickens and ducks in a week or two!

Things are intensifying!

This is far more of an interesting conversation than most realize. Business models completely change over time where the best are constantly innovating to provide value for users with them

winning share (and potential revenue and profits) while they do and then moving to provide more value while the previous spot they occupied moves to free.

Gotcha 👍

I think it’s would also be speeded up by the growth of complimentary technologies and social changes

E.G. with the growth of sovereign computing (Umbrel, Start9) the cost of contributing some bandwidth and disk space to the network is hidden in the cost of the node hardware and a monthly broadband subscription

For many it’ll be a privilege and an honour for others their civil duty

There’s nothing guaranteeing that it stays free if all major clients they matter decide they will charge. Especially if relays become part of their core offering.

Yes you can fork and do free but then you’ll just fragment yourself from everyone else.

In a deflationary society with exponential technology wanting to deliver value at ever increasing speeds, all prices will trend to zero

There will be increasing competition to offer more value for less cost

Forgive me... I believe in hyperbitcoinisation 💪... and I'm a fan of #[4] 👌

Love this drive to making Bitcoin meetups more social and wholesome
