Here's my attempt to trace the causes and understand why the industrial revolution happened where and when it did, breaking out of the malthusian trap.
1. Decentralisation in medieval Europe --> religious freedom --> free speech
2. Decentralisation in medieval Europe --> property rights --> capital accumulation
-->Free Speech --> Enlightenment --> Rationalism --> Innovation
-->Capital accumulation --> investment --> industry
innovation + industry ---> Industrial revolution.
Obviously none of these steps was simple. Religious freedom in Europe was reached after centuries of religious wars. Even after the treaty of Westfalia there was still a lot of religious persecution. But I would argue that religious freedom and the fight for it was a major driver in the establishment of Free Speech.
Similarly Property Rights were never fully secure in most of Europe... but in some places (especially northern Italy, the Netherlands and later England) they were more protected than anywhere else in the world. You are not going to make a 40 year investment in a factory, mine or railroad if the King can just steal it, as they often did in those times.
Other authors have also discussed the formation of a banking system, the invention of joint stock companies and many other innovations... but if I had to distil the key building blocks that were present in parts of Europe and not in other places:
1. FREE SPEECH
2. PRIVATE PROPERTY

One syllable bias > unit bias
People will adapt to as many unit names as you want to throw out, use whichever is most convenient for each occasion, adapt to changing value of each... even adapt to local usage meaning smtg different.
But they will always shorten long names to shorter ones for frequently used words. Often converging one one syllable.
"Buck", "clam", "sim", "bean", "bit"... have all been widely used at some point.

Not an easy answer!
But the industrial revolution was definitely a major factor.
What made the Industrial Revolution possible? Why did it happen when it did and not in the Roman Empire or Song China (both of which had many of the necessary inventions)?
Mises and Hayek would argue that private property rights, capitalism, individual rights, free trade allowed for progress to accumulate and compound over a century or two... and then to spread around the world.
Most of that happened under the British gold standard by the way... so no, not fiat. If anything fiat money during the two world wars slowed progress down. The current fiat regime since 1971 has actually seen stagnation in growth and poverty reduction (with some exceptions China, Eastern Europe).

In 1800 > 80% of people were extremely poor.
In 2023 < 10% of people were extremely poor.
The 19th and 20th century have been times of incredible, unprecedented human progress. Increased per-capita wealth and increased population.
It's important to understand what made this possible.

ANCAP 2100 🟨⬛️
What would an ancap 22nd century look like?
First definitions. Anarchy is the absence of a ruler. The absence of nation-state style sovereignty, a monarch or an emperor. More abstractly it would be the absence of an entity with the monopoly of force in a certain area.
In practical terms it means no central authority with the capacity to impose its will on the entire population, be it by collecting taxes or enforcing laws.
A country or territory with no army, no taxes and no centralised police force would be anarchic, even if its nominal government claimed to rule, in the absence of the capacity to do so it would be an empty vessel.
We have plenty of examples in history of large territories in such a situation, where distance from the seat of government made it impractical to collect taxes or enforce laws.
We also have plenty of examples of government being so local and fragmented that both laws and taxes could only be enforced on a small area, in competition with neighbouring polities. A large swathe of history is the history of competing city states. Empires are a relatively late development in human history, nation states even more so. Even early empires had to allow a great degree of local autonomy if they wanted to survive. The Achaemenid Persian Empire being a prominent example, which the alexandrian successor states adopted. Until transport and communication technology made it possible, most government was local government.
Competition between local governments and the easy possibility of exit kept the abuse of power in check to some degree.
But would we call a collection of city states anarchy? Some statists call anything more decentralised than one world government anarchy! We can be more discriminating... Neither competing local governments nor a collection of tribes is anarchy, at least not as long as each of these polities has the power to maintain a monopoly of force within its own territory, extract taxes and impose laws. Regardless of whether this is done democratically, by a dictator or a priest king.
Of course a lonely sheriff in a remote town, perhaps elected and backed by a citizen militia, called only when needed, paid a salary by the same people that elect him, would have a lot of trouble imposing any tyrannical law or tax. Not when his enforcers and voters are the same people that he has to extort.
Current transport and communication technology makes this independence, decentralisation and self-reliance possible but unlikely to be widespread. Just as it took the collapse of the Roman Empire to allow a vacuum into which the more decentralised Feudal government structures could develop, it would take the total collapse of the current nation-state system for local autonomy to flourish again.
The conscious, intentional construction of a system of anarchy would be a very different development and could happen peacefully and gradually. It would not require an apocalyptic destruction of the current system. It could develop as an ideological movement, much as democracy did in the 18th century and gradually spread from one or a few new polities to the rest. The american revolution is a prime example. Independence from the British Empire happened in the right intellectual climate that the revolutionaries deliberately set out to build a Republic. Similarly the French Revolution attempted to build a Roman inspired Republic. Unlike the americans they failed in the short term... but the important thing to keep in mind is that 18th century revolutionaries shared the republican ideal, just as many 19th or 20th century revolutionaries shared marxist ideals. Not just revolutionaries! Reformers in Britain, Switzerland and many other places shared the ideals of the time. They preferred reform and gradualism to war and revolution... but their goals were similar!
This leads us to the first important key: the ideas of anarchy are a prerequisite. When the intelectual foundations are built, change will eventually happen. The battle of ideas is the most important one.
However it is not the only one. Once enough critical mass is built, a real world experiment is necessary. Success breeds success. Example is the best teacher. Tangible, visible reality is the best killer of strawman arguments.
The second that you start to touch real and practical concerns, intellectual anarchists will criticise any attempt to "centrally plan" an anarchist society. So let me preface this with the caveat that nobody knows the future and nobody knows which political experiments will succeed and which will fail. Nevertheless just as entrepreneurs plan their business models and then have to adapt to reality, political entrepreneurs should have a detailed plan for a new political experiment, even if that plan is flexible and open to change. This is of course compatible with a thousand alternative plans competing to make the best model of an anarchist "constitution".
So allow me to imagine some possible ancap foundation stories, which then could spread to -not- rule the world.

Since Trump's first term it was clear that he was serious about keeping his campaign promises...
IMHO 2 bad ones:
1. Tariffs
2. Immigration
...and 2 good ones:
3. Lower taxes
4. Peace
He is now proving again that he meant what he said.
He is serious about increasing tariffs as was made painfully clear last week. He is serious about cracking down on immigration, although that is much easier said than done.
He seems to be attempting to pressure both sides into peace degotiations in Ukraine. It's a very tough deal to broker... but I believe that he will put all his clout into achieving it.
He is still to annouce his tax plan, but if the past serves as a guide he will pass large tax cuts in the US. Significant enough to offset the damage done to US corps by tariffs.
What he will not be able to do is balance the budget and reverse the US debt crisis. The cuts necessary to do that are just not politically viable in the US. He would need Milei-style shock therapy. My bet is that he won't even get close to trying, with DOGE never being allowed to come close to the big budget items (welfare, military, etc..).
So we can expect the debt bubble to increase until it pops.
Bitcoin will be there as a lifeboat when it happens.

It's interesting how banking apps like Revolut have gradually adopted Bitcoin.
1st allowed buy/sell bitcoin within closed system.
2nd allowed withdrawals to external wallet.
3rd allowed deposits from external wallet.
Next: Lightning Network integration.
This process has been similar in Paypal and others. It's interesting because I believe that traditional banks will copy it on their apps. Then, suddenly, we will find that a majority of the adult population will have a bitcoin app by default. Once that critical mass is reached... Bitcoin payments and circular economy can begin to take off.
When Bitcoin is widely accepted for payments... many people will start to question: why have a bank account at all? All I need is a Bitcoin wallet!

MiCA kicking USDT out of European centralised exchanges will be a boon for P2P and DEX.
USDT remains the highest volume market.
My reading of MiCA is that P2P is outside of scope and therefore not subject to the requirements imposed by this directive on centralised exchanges (VASP and CASP). Please let me know if I'm wrong about this.
Fully P2P markets like Bisq, Robosats, Vexl, LNP2PBot, Mostro, HodlHodl... have a huge opportunity to capture siginificant share of this huge market.
For traders, market makers and liquidity providers there is an opportunity for profit. Liquidity is thin right now in these markets. They can easily charge 3-5% to bridge the gap.
Trading in USDT/BTC means that you can provide this service from anywhere in the world! You also avoid banks, which are the biggest source of friction in P2P trades.
Eventually USDT/BTC will be atomic swaps ⚛️. Making trades faster, safer and easier!

Nostr users are 1% of Twitter. Rumble is 1% of Youtube. But they will show the way allowing content creators to earn sats. When they grow to 5%... the big players will capitulate and follow.
It's easy and there's little downside.
Once that happens millions of people will be able to earn sats. They will then want to spend them.
The next cycle will be about payments. Bitcoin as MoE.

Gradual responsability for different amounts is moot?
Remind me how it works with dollars and euros...

It's not binary. It's a a gradient. You don't need the same self control to self custody 1000 sats as you need to to self custody a million sats.
Can everyone be trusted to keep 1 BTC safe for a decade? Probably not.
But you can probably trust most 10 year olds to keep 1000 sats safe for a month and most adults to keep 100k sats safe for a year.

Good thing to come out of the pandemic is that all the closet authoritarians in govt outed themselves.
Bad news is many are still in power.
They need to be purged from any position of authority.

A pesar de ver con claridad los ataques crecientes contra la libertad de expresión, todavía no consigo que Juan Ramón Rallo y otros se vengan a Nostr.
Comprendo los incentivos comerciales actuales... pero también hay que pensar un poco en el futuro.

I am unsatisfied with my solution. I want something even better.

So create a corporate custodial wallet? But why not just use an existing one?
Why reinvent the wheel... if Primal, Zebedee or strike have already built it... why build your own?

What is the fastest, simplest way to distribute 1000 sats each to a million people?
Imagine that you are a business owner with a million people on payroll and you want to give them each 1000 sats to start learning to use Bitcoin... how would you do it?
No imagine that you want to add a bitcoin bonus to their monthly wages and send them each 1000 sats every month...

Surveillance driven advertising is getting ridiculous on Meta owned platforms. I'm getting ads relevant to a conversation I had less than half an hour ago. It cannot be a coincidence. Spyware is out of control.

After struggling for a few days with my LND node on @npub126n…e9ll while trying to connect it to @npub1get…0nfm hub... I realise how early we still are.
In a few years it will all be plug-and-play. Just the same as your Internet router is just a box that's in your house and you forget about (except maybe when a guest needs the wifi password)... maybe with additional security features like a physical keyfob that you keep somewhere safe.
The company that gets there first will deserve to make a mint!
Start9, Casa, Umbrel, Alby and others are doing a great job simplifying UX... but there's still a lot of work to do!

2025-2026 is a key empirical test level for the hypothesis that Bitcoin is following an internet-like global adoption curve.
Bitcoin should jump the chasm, reaching 15% adoption, by 2026.
That means 1-1.2bn users.
According to various estimates in 2024 Bitcoin reached 600 million users.
This number would need to double by 2026.
Considering past growth that would not be a difficult feat.

How about adding robots to Robosats?
Automated marketmakers could solve this... @npub1rec…lju2

DEX
-Why do most people still use centralised exchanges? Why have P2P and DEXs failed to capture a significant percentage of Bitcoin trading volume despite MtGox, FTX and other well known CEX failures?
-Bisq, Robosats, Peach, HodlHodl... What are they missing to reach millions of users?
-Can professional market makers use a DEX?

"If we don't have free speech, then we just don't have a free country." Donald J. Trump. 2024.
Engrave these words in stone. Once they reach power, they will be the first to forget.
Remember the Alien and Sedition Acts

The same revolutionaries that wrote the Bill of Rights attacked free speech a few years later.
