Such a stunt. For those content creators and small business owners, their livelihood could depend on this app. This is cyber elimination of their business or even identify.

Every human action intends to accomplish something, however trivial that thing might be in a given case.
To say that action intends to accomplish something means that it necessarily aims at some good, or at least what the agent takes to be good.
The “free will” at the bottom is nothing but a judgement concerning what is good.

One comment said “ study bitcoin”, which gets 14 likes
One responding comment “That might actually be the problem, because entrepreneurs are looking to Cryptocurrency instead of normal investments”. This got 67 likes.
Simple two takeaway:
- Bitcoiner still have incredible edge. We are so early.
- Crypto is parasitical to say the least and has only set back the adoption of Bitcoin.

西方有尼采喊“上帝死了”，他敏感地体察到一种最高的价值溃退会带来深远的影响。然而最高的价值体系不会出现真空，新的价值体系会取而代之，人不可能在一种没有价值等级的境况下生存。
于是有了虚无主义，权力主义，物质主义等等取而代之。权力主义的极致便是共产主义，法西斯主义。
偏偏中国的两千年未有之变局发生在这些主义兴起的时代。对中国，不光上帝从来没有存在过，连孔子在那个时代也被宣告“死亡”。没有超验的向善的价值作为最高价值，那只有拿世俗的价值作替代。
在虚无，权力，物欲中挣扎，人矮化了，连天赋人权的根基也动摇了。之所以说天赋人权，最根本的起点是宗教性的。人如果都是世俗机器，还谈什么天赋人权呢？

If individuals have their being wholly in themselves and so relate to others qua individuals, then it is impossible for there to be an end to the relation other than mere accidental conglomeration of individual ends, which in fact means that conglomeration itself has no reality in itself but reduces to each individual in particular.

“If the state is confused with civil society and its determination is equated with the security and protection of property and personal freedom, the interest of individual as such becomes the ultimate end for which they are united.

#Bitcoin is the social extension of a natural power.

2024-05-19 19:23:19 UTC

In ancient Greece, to be free meant first of all to be a citizen, that is, a participating member of the polis. This membership entailed certain powers, but freedom was not reducible to having these powers. Instead, they followed from freedom as its implication. In other words, freedom was an identity or a mode of being, an actuality, rather than a power or potency.
#note174v…3yms

2024-05-19 19:21:59 UTC

Freedom is not most fundamentally, a means by which one achieves an external goal. It is not first a power or choice.
Instead, it is itself an end. Freedom is ultimately what we are set free for.
In this understanding, the aspect of power or choice which has dominated the discussion of the nature of freedom is derivative.

“Augustine sees this liberation decisively in historical terms, as an event that unfolds in time … The history of the soul’s enslavement, which is at a profound level an enslavement to itself as much as to some foreign ruler, belongs to the story of its freedom. The self-enslavement is that from which the soul is liberated, and the deed of liberation occurs as a particular event. “

“Because man cannot NOT act as long as he is alive, and he must use scarce means to do so, he must also permanently choose between right and wrong conduct. The fundamental question of ethics — what am I here and now rightfully allowed to do and what no — is thus the most permanent, important, and pressing intellectual concern confronting man”
—— HH Hoppe

2024-05-05 20:18:35 UTC

Money is the means to an end, goods with utility for instance.
There is potency to the means and there is actuality to the end.
When value is stored in the means, i.e. money, more potency is enabled, ends is thus more attainable. Conversely if value is stored in the utility goods, it makes the ends less affordable.
You want the means to be potent, not vice versa.
