Trump is oddly friendly with our adversaries. He’s throwing long standing allies and trading partners under the bus and giving Russia, a regional menace and a state that isn’t friendly to the US and hasn’t been for decades, exactly what it wants. You can talk about peace all you want but this is bad for American interests. Whatever Ukrainian blood minerals are in it for us are worth far less than our alliances and global standing. Absolutely piss poor foreign policy on the part of the Trump administration.

Btw I’m not dismissing your argument at all. After all, I, too am a bitcoiner, so at the very least I take interest in commodity-backed currency. It’s just hard for me to accept Austrian economics and anarcho-capitalism at face value without a healthy dose of skepticism, since we haven’t really seen those things work in modern history. Still, I’ll read the paper you shared

Nah, inflation does erode un-invested wealth over the years, but it doesn’t evaporate the $30 in a poor person’s pocket faster than they can spend it. Poor people don’t earn enough to accumulate any wealth therefore inflation doesn’t make them poor. The issue is that too many jobs don’t pay living wages or provide adequate benefits.
Yes, inflation does increase the cost of living over time so in that way it’s part of the problem. But imo the real problem is a distorted labor market.

Never said you should trust me, just saying I’m not surprised you cited a controversial fringe economist with little empirical data to support his theories 😉

2024-11-07 13:56:19 UTC

- reply

I think the issue is that not enough people can provide enough for themselves to live. We see this today with the number of people living below the poverty line. The wealth gap is too high and, without government intervention, the jobs that people have access to don’t pay well enough for these people to be able to provide food for their families, let alone medical care, let alone a secure retirement. If free market capitalism was working so well, why are we seeing this?

Figured you would cite Rothbard! I’ll have a look at this. As a guy who majored in this stuff, though, what I’ll say is that there is little evidence that the principles of Austrian economics can work (at least better than the status quo) in a large, late-stage capitalist society like the US, but it is fun to think about how it might look.

I know it’s going to become insolvent and it will need to be cut. I’m planning my retirement assuming I only get 50% of what I’m entitled to. But there’s a big leap from that to “we should abolish all welfare programs”

2024-11-07 13:24:56 UTC

- reply

It literally did. Laissez faire government, stock market speculation, unregulated financial industry and income inequality and over-production all contributed to the collapse of the economy. That’s why programs like these exist, and it’s why we haven’t seen anything nearly as severe ever since.

2024-11-07 13:22:09 UTC

- reply

Bureaucracy is inherently inefficient. But the alternative to some of these more critical welfare programs is people dying poor, sick and hungry. The trade off is that stark. What gets me about this argument is that those that advocate against these programs seem ok with those consequences because it would prevent abuse by a minority of bad actors (which every society has)

I dunno about that. It’s mathematically true that if Bitcoin ever does become immensely valuable, the wealth disparity between old and new holders will be remarkable. If Bitcoin becomes the global reserve currency and the value 100X’s, there will absolutely be a new ruling class that’s minted, and I don’t know if we’ll all like what that ruling class does.

A Bitaxe actually did find a block, which is why I figured why the hell not and sprang for a $500 SupraHex with 4+ TH.
I used to mine Vertcoin on my GPU and wished I had the power and noise isolation to mine Bitcoin at home (small apartment life) so I thought it was pretty sweet when these low power, near silent Bitcoin miners came about. My AxeOS dashboard reports I’m pulling about 90W and it’s whisper quiet. Decentralization is fun.

As a guy that falls somewhere on the spectrum between agnosticism and atheism—a “god of the gaps” guy, as a nod to your comment about the hazards of scientism—there’s one thing I know about Catholic priests in particular is that you folks are awfully well read.
Anyway to respond to your question: I dunno really. In general I don’t think things should be illegal because some people misuse them. Not everyone will watch porn and become hopelessly addicted just like not everyone will buy guns and start murdering people. Let those people fail but also let there be strong safety nets to catch them and set them right… be they strong communities, institutions of faith, government programs, or whatever.

Thoughtful response. I suppose I should clarify my original statement of “religious/moral fundamentalists” to “religious fundamentalists and moral absolutists”
Yes there are those that believe drugs and porn should be illegal because God said hedonism is bad
There are others that believe drugs and porn should be illegal because some people use them to ill effect and therefore we should all be forbidden from partaking
Those are the stances I take issue with and I find it interesting that there are so many of those people in the bitcoin community (Bitcoin being a morals-agnostic protocol the very existence of which runs against the grain of the “just legislate it!” impulse)
Anyway at the end of the day I’m more in your camp than those other folks…
