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

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’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?

Yes.
However, if you stop to realize there are people watching the office every night.
For the 40th time they’re going through the same tv series. Episode after episode. Night after night.
Maybe it makes sense with that in mind.
I don’t understand how people can continue to rewatch the same shows for longer than it even ran on tv in the first place…

Worked great for me when I responded about being Norwegian when discussing healthiest place to live 👍🏻
It asked me about it. Seemed totally natural and friendly ☺️

It’s cold, making the people here hardy. Short summer, as well. Need to work real hard to feed yourself all year. We eat a lot of fish. The nature here is very beautiful with lots of hills. Our culture values hiking and camping and skiing.
Also we have lots of water from our mountains. Very clean water. In fact, the expensive brand of water, Voss, is normal tap water to us 😅
I will mention one problem, for some balance:
there is a severe lack of sunlight in winter 🥲
(I’m very biased 😜😇)
