​What if Bitcoin would not have been invented for the next 100 years?
​That is a question that I am growing more and more curious about, recently. With all other freedom technology invented, like Nostr as social media, local runable LLMs, and high privacy peer to peer messaging - without Bitcoin being there, what are the first and second order effects that are taking place here?

​One immediate difference would be all the people, who would question the legitimacy of the state , of how things run, and of themselves, those one’s would still be out there, either settling for a necessary evil, giving up and not chasing, or stay in circles that do question the system, without a monetary commitment to those claims. So, most likely, those would just be smaller fringe groups. Which would have to do those thought experiments more as a hobby than a way to increase their conviction to Bitcoin.

​Almost 4 generations of people would just have to live in the system that they are stuck in. Revolts, changes and further tries to trust a middlemen would probably tried again and again, however would fail in privacy or censorship. All these people, running with skepticism through their lives about what could be, with no denominator as a shared base. They probably end up in very different communities, like freedom cities, spiritual circles, bunker builders, off grid self-sustainables. Whatever ideology it might exactly be - it is clear those people would have landed around these targets, with another probability to find a community of cypher punks. Most people probably just follow the system & society without questioning it, because they are morally deincentivized to do so. And those are not just the hobbyist, but also the talented programmers, content creators and inventors.

​Another aspect would be regarding the geographical footprint of mining facilities as well as personal mining. While no ASIC machines need to be used, there are just a lesser amount of data centres around the world, although it could be argued that AI-GPU would take over that part anyway.
​The weight of metal and CPUs that would be somewhat in other production different parts of the world over production of energy in certain areas of the world would be exactly that, [scribble] some data centres might help with that, but they are nowhere near as easy to maintain.

​The question is would society even be there at all! Of course, the possibility is there, however society might need to go into bigger hard ships before things might turn around for the better world to come. A group of mad people that were also in a tinkering profile would need to come together to create the thing again, possibly with different set economic rules and outlook, to see what is needed for other participants to join the network.

​So what if? Well a lot of ifs and thens, the multitude of complexity would branch into an almost infinite amount of possibilities, however if one would just narrow the things down to one different thing that would have happened, the outcome of both scenarios are actually completely unpredictable, but nonetheless fascinating to think about.

​A more interesting topic that came to the authors mind is, however; what if Bitcoin would have been invented today?

Better give a thousand beggars 1, than 1 beggar a thousand.

Looks like Venezuela is getting some sweet freedom.

Maybe counteract with some free speech platforms?

To all friends and enemies out there, lots of love and successful jump into 2025+1 (consensus worldwide[almost])

The lenght of text on writes is determined by the thoughts that go with it. If someone has the reason to write a lot, the writer wants to communicate a headspace to the world.
If someone has a reason to write little, he may be at piece within himself.

To not write at all doesn't mean that you don't have anything to share with this world, but you have all the right to withdraw yourself from it

To write obsessively is your own decision of creativity, connection and research in the world; it is your creative outlet to connect your mind to others.

It just takes a few words to change the world, a few words to persuade others, a few words to find love and to find peace.

One may say to choose the next words carefully, but it is just about choosing any words at all. You might get misunderstood, end up with the different people and ideas, but then you have just enough a reason to change and remove yourself from them.

Express yourself, if you dare.

Time to take a ferry

So just went straight in there, murdering everybody, huh? :D

"All the things you could be doing."
That's always the chain of thought, when you extrapolate something into the future.

I write something, with a lot of passion and good spirits, does that mean, it is my mission to write a book, and to present it at lectures, and to fight about the profits with the publishers?
Is one then exactly in this role from 0 to 100?

A great expense, even though one may only write a few words on a piece of paper, which then in turn starts a chain of thought for the author or other readers.

And it does not need to be so much more, as long as you are moving towards the routine of doing it.

-->
And then, you may decide, to maybe continue it, maybe it will not be permanently burried in a closed box, but unwrapped, shared, shown.
So someone else may also take something from it, and he may connect to that story with author, or his loved ones.

And maybe, they need exactly that right now.

Now do I again as the dark urge, or something else, it will probably be totally different, or multi-player with some #gamestr

If one tries to change an immovable object, you shall look into the past and learn from the mistakes of others.

Baldurs gate 3, if you want to have some liberty in your actions, and the following consequences. Great for that and fascinating voicecting
