I spoke at a big bitcoin-adjacent company this week and one of the best questions was from someone who asked what the downsides of bitcoin adoption might be.
I always do appreciate these steelman que...
I’d have to argue against markets and competition itself.
Which I do. (Not in this post)
Yet BTC is such a big improvement for humanity.
Maybe it’s a stepping stone on the path to a better system.
You said unless humanity itself is corrupt.
We aren’t, but we are so adaptable that it’s real close.
Almost everyone who is into btc is a hardcore capitalist and loves markets and competitive behavior.
Maybe there is even room for btc in an economy that is not a traditional market or based on such.
Sure is inspiring to read about buckminster fuller and Nikola Tesla speak of their respective visions for economic (electric) calculations etc
And I wonder how lowerys softwar thesis fits in with that.
Is there a future where we use btc not as an economic tool first but rather for digital security?
