also, any thoughts on how an issuer may revoke a badge or acceptor may renounce a previously accepted badge?
re: revocation, the telegram history seems to suggest issuing an anti-badge for revocation…

thanks agree with gold having divisibility shortcomings. i also wonder if the uncertainty of the s2f / scarcity into the future played a factor. we know now what gold and silver’s historical s2f approximately were… we don’t really know how that changes in the future except tail risk of finding some significant amount on earth or elsewhere in the universe. i have to think the certainty introduced by bitcoin’s supply schedule is part of the story and the rest of the monetization is just the natural emergence of an economic good (menger) where we have to have a human need, a thing that can satisfy that need, knowledge of the thing being able to satisfy the need, and sufficient command of the thing to make it satisfy the need.
as more and more people become aware of and develop command of bitcoin with tools to satisfy their needs for sov, moe, and uoa… i would also expect bitcoin eats into the monetary premium enjoyed by all other goods in each category.
there may be edge cases where we need to account for environments and markets that can’t have stable and sufficiently high bandwidth internet, either because of censorship or poor infra.

2023-03-14 14:14:27

they’re setting up to print money, but not just yet. the printer will go online after more corrections have occurred and the exits have been blocked.
my guess is another 18-24 months.
this pump may not last if the fed hikes on the 22nd to bring CPI down (by wrecking levered businesses) and delivers a stern message.
with a lifeline extended to banks, and signal to do more to protect their depositors as needed, the only people that would be shaken out with continued hikes are levered folk in the real economy followed by consumer-dependent businesses
once there’s a sufficient reset and the exits have been blocked, the printer can come online
the only sustainable path to hyperbitcoinization remains orange pilling one handshake at a time.
if we lose the big ramps, we may not have the benefit of fiat whales levering long as we did in 2020-2021, and that’s ok.
these are just personal opinions, do with it as you will.

what do you mean by how to run the economy? the economy runs itself because humans naturally economize. we all take action to provide goods and services based on our means and abilities and seek buyers for those goods and services.

2023-03-11 21:15:32

- reply

it’s the ability to voluntarily provide goods and services to my fellow humans in exchange for other goods or services, preferably money in the form of bitcoin so that i’m not dependent on trusted parties for its safekeeping or the preservation of its purchasing power.
regulations can also be voluntary such that the providers and consumers of a service can agree to be bound by certain principles and enforcement mechanisms, which already happens today albeit not entirely free of the state. see saifedean’s recent pod re: law & order in free markets.

an old piece i hadn’t shared publicly on the bird app out of self-censorship…
based on andrew chen’s book, “the cold start problem” and extended to considerations for interoperable networks (think LN or nostr).
when building products for closed networks, the goal is to eventually build a moat.
when building products for interoperable networks, the goal is to grow by providing the best UX.
products for interoperable networks can better overcome the cold start problem by seeking to be symbiotic with other interoperable networks (nostr with LN) and parasitic towards closed networks (twitter).
initially, similar products for an interoperable network are symbiotic with each other (eg each nostr social client improves the ux for users of other nostr social clients).
eventually, as the network reaches a global ceiling, parasitism among similar products will increase as a few will dominate and eat away at less popular products.
building for interoperable networks is a new paradigm now that we have digitally native sound money and new open protocols developing on the web. this paradigm breaks old VC models and it will be interesting to see how venture capital in a more open and bitcoinizing world develops.
