it’s very difficult to acknowledge alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine as poisons
Actions are deeper acknowledgements than words

Joe didn’t give a single fuck about bitcoin/fiat in these. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/7b8bd8ed8ed4957c7e75c1fce20ab5f7407e23a0314f380caae18a15b5d3431e.jpg

We’re still early and he still doesn’t get it.
His reach is massive. Need more guests and conversations about it for sure

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 sy...
I will add that I am very inspired by Peter Joseph in this regard
( he hates btc unfortunately)
And I think he does understand it.
It’s just that he is opposed to market economics as such.
I get his points.
In any case he’s extremely correct about the way humans are influenced.
That’s part of what btc is about too. Getting away from fiat mentality.
Joseph takes this much further by trying to get away from the necessarily exploitative nature of markets and competitive advantage.
I know people argue that’s how nature is. They’re correct.
However. I thought part of the point of being human is being part of a larger whole that can try to at least partially override and resist whatever nature tries to do to us.

We engineer improvements.
Maybe btc is such a different kind of value-tech that the incentives are changed so drastically this money=evil way of thinking isn’t valid any more.
Sure hope so.
Maybe btc means we engineer ourselves closer to our own true nature of cooperation and love

I believe it is an elitist form of money. You need higher than normal technical skills to acquire, hold, and use. There will be millions if not billions of people who need it and can’t get it unless...
Indeed.
ETFs could postpone widespread real adoption by many many years.
And open btc up for even more price manipulation
I get people cheering on more “adoption “ but even more and bigger institutions opening up for other institutions and big players to invest in such an asset indirectly is terrible for true real world adoption and usage.
We need to start measuring the value of btc in watts, not currency, yesterday!!!

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...

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?
