Thanks my friend!

One thing I'm jelly about when it comes to you 🎸 rockstars is that when the song hits, you can keep performing it. With us rockstar developers, everyone wants "a song for themselves"... a new software system to build based on their idea. Will be cool to hear your thoughts about this and talk whe...

Bitcoiners, can you help me sharpen this sword? Anything I can do to improve this?

“What backs the US dollar? To quote Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman, ‘men with guns.’

What backs bitcoin? Electricity.

Which of these consensus mechanisms has a better chance of achieving sustainability and harmony with our environment and our population into the future?

The global competition for the mightiest military force?

Or the global competition for the most sustainable energy production?

I ask this question in earnest.”

I would add. Fiat = lies & violence/coercion, btc=truth & freedom.

No expert but Fiat is just a ‘promise’ to pay debts. It’s debts all the way down. Bitcoin ie backed by miners, node operators, developers, users

Great points! 💯 Bitcoin is all about energy and sustainability, while the dollar’s backed by force. Let's keep the convo going! Together, we can shape a better future! 🌍✨

Indeed boys with guns back the US dollar. But do not forget to mention the worlds (current) most bountiful energy source: Fossil fuels. We burn ~ 100 million barrels of oil/day, each barrel containing ~1700kWh of work (or 10.5 years of human labour). In the 70's the US made the agreement with OPEC ...

The US dollar is backed by oil, not men with guns. I'm so fucking tired of pointing this out. I hate how people pretend the US forcing people to use dollars is a "backing." That's not what the fucking backing of a currency means. I cannot go to the bank and exchange my dollars for men with guns. I c...

The laws of nature back bitcoin. The laws of man back the dollar.

Btc is pure nature intrinsic value! Dollar is made up
