Thought some more about this

- money is a technology

- different monies are competing with each other (gold, houses, usd etc)

- the more we see btc mkt cap rise, the more value it’s sucking in, and the larger market share it acquires

- price going up IS adoption

- equally, adoption means the price goes up

šŸ™šŸ»

šŸ˜…

I always like to hear a range of opinions

For me, if ngu wasn’t apparent, then adoption would be non-existent

Price therefore absolutely equals adoption

Serious question - why?

I don’t agree at all. Not that I am not willing to wait for capital gains, but more that the ngu is so key to adoption, we need it, rather than a stable 60k ish for 5 years

So cool how language does that. A word can be beautiful in one, but not in the translation

Often I find it’s because the meaning is actually a little different

Who would have guessed it, but I find people on Nostr genuinely want to learn from each other

It’s actually social

I asked GPT to get a background:

In Time and Being (or Zeit und Sein), Martin Heidegger introduces the concept of the "event" (Ereignis) as a central element in his later philosophy. The term Ereignis can be difficult to translate, often rendered as "event," but it carries a richer sense in Heidegger's thought, implying something more like "enowning" or "appropriating event."

In the context of Time and Being, Heidegger's "event" refers to the way in which Being itself unfolds or reveals itself to human beings. It signifies a dynamic process rather than a static thing, where Being (the fundamental nature of reality) "appropriates" or "enowns" entities (including human beings) into its unfolding. This "event" is the happening where time, Being, and human existence come together.

The key ideas of the event in Heidegger's thought are:

1. The Unfolding of Being: The event is the process through which Being reveals itself to us. It is not something that happens at a particular moment but is an ongoing happening that lets entities, including humans, "belong" to Being.

2. Interplay Between Time and Being: In Time and Being, Heidegger explores the intimate relationship between time and Being. The event is where time (understood not as linear clock time, but as a more primordial, existential temporality) and Being intersect. Time is the horizon within which Being reveals itself through the event.

3. Enowning or Appropriation: The term Ereignis also carries the sense of "appropriation," meaning that in the event, entities are drawn into their proper place or meaning within the unfolding of Being. Human beings, through their existence, are "appropriated" into this event of Being.

4. Beyond Metaphysical Thinking: The event concept reflects Heidegger's later move beyond traditional metaphysics, which focuses on beings (entities) in a fixed, static way. Instead, Heidegger wants to think about Being itself as an active, dynamic process.

In sum, Heidegger's event in Time and Being is a way to describe how Being, time, and existence are intertwined in a dynamic unfolding process, where human beings play a crucial role in the revelation of Being through their existence and experience of time.

Thanks for adding that

Much appreciated

In the UK where I grew up, you might call a friend a ā€œladā€ for being funny, doing something cool, or aspirational, (but note it can also be ironic)

So I guess you could say ā€œcool dude alertā€ but that’s not quite as amusing to write…

😜

Finally got around to finishing the recent Saif & Saylor podcast episode

On the one hand, it really wasn’t that bad of a disagreement

On the other, it was nice to see some intellectual sparring

Personally, I for sure see a future economy, based on a Bitcoin standard, with an active credit market (yes it will look very different to todays, but very much still there)

Equally, if I had to put my money on someone’s vision of the future, I think it would be the vision proposed by the person with more on the line (ie the billionaire business owner that’s made a bet of a lifetime)
