#Friedmanite economists, such as Milton Friedman or David Friedman themselves, have expounded the benefits of relegating monetary policy to more predictably responsive systems than a human-guided central bank.
Milton advocated a predictable algorithm run exclusively by computers. David advocated a free-market, decentralized, commodity-backed monetary network of rational issuers. Bitcoin is the full realization of both, in addition to being the sly, roundabout way to a new standard that Hayek foresaw.
#Bitcoin is Friedmanite Money just as well as Austrian money.

Ok I've done some thinking and this has to be it. My model for Bitcoin fair value in dollars is an exponential times an exponential times a logistic function.
Dollars are printed exponentially. Worldwide wealth grows exponentially. Bitcoin approaches worldwide wealth logistically. Boom. Simple. That looks a lot like a power law early on, but these are the underlying things actually driving the long term price movements. It's not really a power law in the long run.
After hyperbitcoinization, real purchasing power goes up with global productivity and so is exponential. The dollar value of BTC will probably be a faster exponential because of the issuance of dollars, even if the Fed is able to slow its issuance to a very low inflation rate in order to remain relevant. Right now the price is that fast exponential scaled by a logistic growth factor which is nowhere near 1.0 yet. Lost coins might be an exponential also.
Math people can plug in the numbers to fit the empirical data thus far for various fits and projected hyperbitcoinization (logistic factor=1) dates. I have no clue what the constants would be for the logistic function but I have a general intuitive sense for how it might play out in the coming decades.

That's literally racism toward animals.
Allow me to illustrate the fallacy: A pen and a pencil are both writing instruments. This is like you saying a pencil is intrinsically and fundamentally different from a pen, and them saying no it's not, it's a fucking writing instrument. Leave alone the fact of pencil lead vs ink, the different mechanics, the more permanent and permeating nature of ink, etc. He's saying a pen is literally identical to a pencil in every relevant way imaginable.

It's funny when you're arguing with idiots who berate you for being an anarchist and they're like "consumer choice regularly makes mistakes, they can't be trusted to make their own decisions," and I'm like yeah, their choices suck. Arguably I'm poor for that very reason. But your solution is to put trust in a system that is inventivized to manipulate information if it does anything at all? And to exclude independent verification? And to thereby cram certain products down people's throats by effectively eliminating all other choices except to the smartest people who happen to know how to escape it? Really? That's your fucking plan?

If Block continues to integrate Bitcoin in everything they do and make a killer good payments integration for it in their Square suite that works with CashApp as well as other cheap Bitcoin wallet solutions, and the government doesn't harass the absolute shit out of them, the ease of service and the realization that a growing number of people are using Bitcoin to pay will incentivize small businesses to start getting on the bandwagon. Square is already the best and most frictionless payments solution for small businesses out there. Killer products right under people's noses are hard to ignore.

I should endeavor to study it more. I'm a market anarchist; the voluntary principle is super important to me, but as far as a corporation or a small jurisdiction deciding how to manage its functioning, I bet Swiss democracy has a lot to teach me. It's my understanding that they are the freeest nation state to live in in the world. That's definitely indicative of something that works!

2024-08-18 18:50:00

Just had a thought. It's a long one so bear with me...
Public goods generally cannot be wholly controlled by a single private company. If people attempt to surrender control of the public good to a single private company attempting to enforce a monopoly on it, the public good will be neglected, other options will still remain on the market (and those able to understand this catastrophe and the existemce of alternatives will patronize them), and the private entity entrusted with sole control over the good will use the inadequacies of its own handiwork as a pretense to get more funding to attempt to "solve the crisis" that it either still believes it can solve or still tries to convince other fools that it can solve.
Government, as I hope is obvious, is the premier private entity whose whole business model is monopoly and promising more than it can achieve, and is predicated on exactly this dynamic.
A pet theory of mine about natural monopoly that I've been developing:
The information and feedback mechanisms necessary to properly manage a resource, if they cannot fit into one mind or one private decision making unit, indicate that the resource cannot be a natural monopoly.
A natural monopoly can only occur in matters such as an owner over its private property, where the economic actor who owns the monopoly has, exclusively, the complete information necessary to direct the resource (property) to its most economical/ethical/important uses. If there is such a thing as authority, this theoretical limit is the boundary of its exclusive domain.
A customer at the grocery store who buys an orange now has sole control of that orange, knows its location in his car and later at home, knows where the guns are in his house for defending his property, knows what he needs the orange for, etc. He knows very little about all the other oranges at the store, which are a different resource, and even less about all the oranges in existence, which the store does not have the knowledge to control either. It would be impossible for this store or this customer to control all oranges. Voting doesn't magically transfer the knowledge either. Each actor controls its resource, but the public good of oranges is not wholly controlled by anyone. #Bitcoin is the same exact way, a public good with a distrubuted and immutable ledger, incentive framework, and verification system that no single private entity controls. Property rights under nature work this way. It is the way the world is. We are actually living in anarchy right now, but most people, even anarchists are deluded into thinking we are not. The government is merely a criminal that results in tremendous opportunity costs versus the alternative of people acknowledging the truth of their limited understanding and that of other people.
This theory of property/natural monopoly usually works out to exactly the kind of private property delineations that libertarians define. Sole ownership of a resource is determined not only by deontological or pragmatic oughts, nor only by the norms that tend to develop in greater degrees of rationality and human capital, but also by the very nature of reality and the frontier of possibilities itself. It is an observation of the Natural Law, the way things actually work as a fact.

From the Wall Street Journal:
> On this day in 1971: Alarmed at a 4.5% annual inflation rate, President Richard Nixon issued an executive order declaring a 90-day freeze on wages and prices. Within three years, inflation was at a record 12.2% and the nation was in the worst recession since 1929.
Yeah really great idea taking the dollar completely 100% off the gold standard, way to go, Nixon. Price controls? Really? That's your damage mitigation.
This asshole was reading all the time. Did he ever read a book on basic economics in his whole life? I mean how much of his actions between this and the war were from stupidity and being in that incentive structure and told this and that by military and interested parties, and how much of it was deception on his part? I've never looked very far into it but I'm curious now.

This is a really great point!! As usual from @nprofile…6msf
Main fun takeaway I got from this about #Bitcoin is that people will only ever stop paying for it when there is a better alternative. And there is no better alternative. It is the apex money that is going to be forcing governments to shape up and compete or accept it as their standard. There is no government that will ever issue money that is better than Bitcoin. If there ever were a free market alternative that was actually better, then this is what would overtake Bitcoin, and in that case, good! No matter what, we will have good money. A form of money like Bitcoin that anyone can use is inevitable now that this technology and incentive structure is in place!
As per usual, as has been happening for hundreds of thousands of years, humanity adopts industry technologies that facilitate better living and the ability to do greater things. Once the technology is invented, it doesn't go away. It becomes part of the society forever, even if it is relegated to the background or iteratively modified: the axe, the sling, writing, the abacus, beef jerky, the automaton, the ledger, and now the permissionless immutable ledger.
This innovation is going to spawn an industrial revolution of the global south like we have never fucking seen, and a revolution of taking power back from governments, fascist bankers, and criminals the world over. The ledger caused the industrial revolution that brought about modern capitalism with so much industry, entrepreneurship, and high living standards. The decentralized, permissionless immutable ledger is a similar advancement that steers us into sustainable, voluntary capitalism, which is all of the good aspects of what we have now amplified to 11.
