A fiscally conservative person who pays off their debt and doesn't take on more debt, destroys credit which puts deflationary pressure of the Fiat system. This is harmful for the current financial system, which relies on ever increasing amounts of credit(and therefore debt). The credit scoring system exists to identify economic actors who are capable of taking increasingly larger amounts of debt(without defaulting).

Agreed! There is something beautiful about working on a project that takes centuries to complete. Being a part of a bigger plan, a masterpiece that no one human gets to see from the beginning to the end. It used to be the norm(pyramids, chapels et al), but thanks to Fiat it's the exception.
However, I'm surprised by your views on the timeline of this specific project. I find it hard to imagine the $(as it stands today) lasting another 40 years. The math doesn't seem to work. Can you elaborate more on what's a reasonable timeline for hyperbitcoinization?

Everything has tradeoffs. For long term storage, your first two points aren't applicable.

It's unfairly effective when it can be automated. You make one decision to DCA and then you are done. You stay consistent by default. In fact you must go out of your way to stop being consistent.

I'm not sure I understand your question. To reiterate, I do run experiments but I'm unable to beat DCAing into obvious winners. In fact, in retrospect my biggest losses have been around opportunity cost of not DCAing into assets that I knew would do well.
Eg: DCAing a small amount of $ every month into Bitcoin for over a decade was the obvious, boring thing to do. Alas, it's not something I did.

Looking back at my investing track record. I'm a below average investor.
I suck at timing.
I suck at position sizing.
I suck at handling emotions.
The only thing that's worked for me is making fewer decisions. My most profitable decisions have been boring and obvious ones that I stuck to for years.
Eg: DCA into the sp500 for a decade.
Staying humble and stacking sats(via DCA) feels like the right decision for me and other before average investors.

I understand the sentiment, but can you please elaborate. What are the different ways a mint runner can glean information about the eCash users? Something I can imagine: tracking ip addresses? monitoring in/out on-chain or lightning payments and connecting then to tokens? what else?

2024-10-02 12:21:46 UTC

From the end users perspective, eCash has the same tradeoffs as custodial lightning, you are giving up control over your keys and therefore increasing your chances of getting rugged. However eCash provides better functionality(bearer token, offline transactions etc) and (perfect) privacy compared to custodial lightning. I'm looking forward to seeing custodial wallets like @npub1hcw…h9rq integrate eCash.
