Oh man, I am really appreciative for Lyn’s insight into the 2008 meltdown. If you have a copy, skip to page 276-281. In those 5 pages, I understood in language I could understand more than all I’ve heard or watched before.
“If there is 63 times as much total debt in the system (IOUs for dollars) as there is base money (actual dollars), then perhaps most of that debt is unrealistic and needs to all get wiped away? Or should policy makers step in and prevent that collapse from happening?”
Thanks for taking the time to write Broken Money @npub1a2c…w83a. I’m chipping through it weekly as I sit at swimming lessons.
This helped me to realise the ‘dollar rug’ and ‘socialised bail out’. I kind of got it, but this helped.
Also, liked the analogy of 63 kids playing musical chairs with 1 chair, and ‘so long as the music played (the banks could trust the other was solvent), the music played’; until it didn’t. https://image.nostr.build/6b382064ca866fcc8fcf568e02e2de4fe16c4f2671bcdac43804100a6e815711.jpg

“You either go with an authority that helps you remove 99.99% of the existing garbage or you use an approach that, much like cryptography, makes the cost of putting garbage in front of your eyes asymmetrically expensive.”

Keen to tune in. Relied on WBD to find voices to tune in to. As NVK might say, you were top of the funnel for me to fall deeper into the Bitcoin rabbit hole, and for that I’m appreciative.

CC not difficult to use, but the price and way to access CC is the barrier to entry.
Nothing easier than CC & Sparrow, but pricey. If you’re making it your own bank, then you should get steel doors, guards and dogs I know, but is it such a dumb move to go a ledger (top of the funnel as NVK says) before they jump to CC or other?

Hilarious response. Ok ok. Thanks for taking the time. Bullet proof is enough

2024-09-01 22:24:25

- reply

Why a smart move?
I can see a big advantage in that you don’t coordinate with the same crew that made the device, but what are the big reasons to make the switch?
I ask, as CC is less accessible for a new entrant than a Ledger

Took me a few mins to scroll back here. Gigi’s bot has been dropping these twice daily for a year. Will try to follow and read. Better than word of the day TP.
Out of curiosity for employing a bot to do such a task, what’s the flow for the bot? @npub1der…xzpc

Lyn said a heap of it, but I just appreciated their candour with spending a handful of minutes addressing real, lingering challenges to Bitcoin, and especially the ‘Bitcoin is inevitable’ narrative (which I don’t actually hear heaps, but sometimes I think it, so it must be seeping in from what I listen to and read)

Framed this way, the petrodollar has the very bad side for America- tying themselves to a region that sets up the forever wars, major overspending on defence (the US prior to the WWs of sitting quietly and build with oceans for passive defence), and a shift away from manufacturing, leading to outsourcing and then over reliance on, say, China.
I’m not equipped to ponder/postulate. The US put their own foot in their own bear trap…

A few favourite takes from that show:
The Oil crisis in 1970s was a deeply impactful headwind
The lower/middle class might be poorer compared to the top %, but the low/mid have massively gained in terms of the variety/access to nice things (think technology, variety of food and experiences, car quality)
CPI as a changing basket of goods is not ONLY shifting goal posts to reduce culpability for inflation, it genuinely should shift to reflect change in preferences/habits (but I hold that the CPI measure still seems cucked AF)
That Bitcoin might not replace fiat, but it will be a great measure for restraint/accountability
Those who will most benefit are those who would prefer to dollarise, but are then cucked by being at the mercy of said dollar
Thanks for jumping into the fray.
Also, where does the discussion continue? Should I brave the YT comments, or is NOSTR the place to discuss this?

Cold card x Sparrow is so great.
Used Ledger for a good while, but fell into NVKs funnel, but having a bigger display, actual number buttons and it looking just like a goofy calculator.
