I've always thought that stablecoin-bitcoin atomic swaps would be great for Bitcoin precisely because stablecoins are shitcoins.
At some point people will panic out of stablecoins... and I want the exit ramps into bitcoin to be as permissionless as possible.

Mining the straits is not a binary option.
#Iran could just partially mine. If they mine the southern section, they could leave a channel going by Bandar Abbas, enabling them to fully control traffic. They could turn it almost into a toll booth.

“Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America nor, for that matter, in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ... [V]oice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

I'm updating scenario probabilites based on latest developments.
The possibilities for quick negotiation have almost completely evaporated.
The US will need boots on the ground, even if it's very limited and just at a few points near the coast. My most probable scenario at this moment is Iraq 1 (1990).
There is still a reasonable probability that the US and Israel could pull back and limit themselves to a siege/embargo of sorts.

This is just a rough approximation. But you can see the alignment between climate and artifact production.
Mediterraneans definitely produced (and traded) more pottery when it was warmer.
Of course the artifact count suffers heavily from selection and survivor bias... but the sample is still large enough that it is a good economic proxy.

Una de las conclusiones más claras que se extraen de este libro es que casi nunca en la historia ha existido un único dinero. Siempre han convivido múltiples formas de dinero y el desdoblamiento monetario es algo frecuente. Hay infinidad de ejemplos de uso en paralelo de oro, plata, bronce y crédito...
Para todos aquellos que se ponen exquisitos y estrictos con la definición de dinero como "medio de pago universalmente aceptado"... que me expliquen la convivencia en la Grecia clásica del buho ateniense (de plata) con el oro persa y los pagos en pequeñas monedas de bronce, además de sistemas de compensación de pagos en templos griegos.

These "sustainable development goals" have been fairly characterised by the slogan:
"You will own nothing and you will be happy"
AKA
"You will Eat the bugs,
You will live in the pod,
You will own nothing."
It's not an unfair summary given their socialist push to control food production, housing and redistribute property. The propaganda war on meat, private property and families as well as their push for social credit scores, CO2 rationing and other central planning dystopic regimes has made their ideology obvious.
It's only natural and fair to resist and push back against these ideas... but we should go beyond that and make positive, constructive proposals for a better world. It's not enough to slow down their agenda, we must have our own. We need to have clear goals to strive for.

My guess:
US overreach and hubris will see Europe eventually align with US enemies in a conflict that will debilitate both.
A mexican strongman will rise to dominate the US, while claiming to be uniting North America against a common enemy.
The new North American League will create an Empire in or South America. It will be short lived and break up into competing powers similar to Alexander's successor states.

If we are going to play silly games with the unit debate, I want to play too!
Just for fun, here's my proposal for a few multiple and fractional bitcoin unit names.
Disclaimer: It's really stupid to try to plan these things top down, people will end up making up all kinds of local, jargon, fun names and use whatever they want no matter what devs think. You can't plan language! Emergent order...

What's the best system for medium range FOSS off-grid communications?
Starlink is great, but you are still dependent on a company that can shut off service to a region.
What's the cheapest, simplest way to keep a small group in touch during an emergency? (~ 50 people)

The era of FOSS operating systems and appstores is blooming.
It's the beginning of the end for gatekeepers, OS monopolists and privacy destroying data mining corpos.
The future that bitcoiners are building is amazing!
What's next?
