This text by Jason Lowery helped me to understand his Softwar theory about Bitcoin and cyberspace security:
In our three-dimensional world, we secure our assets by imposing physical costs on potential threats. For example, we protect gold with massive vault doors that intruders must physically break through. We secure national borders with military defenses that adversaries must physically overcome.
Armies secure land by imposing physical costs (measured in watts) on adversaries operating in, from, and through land.
Navies secure the sea by imposing physical costs (measured in watts) on adversaries operating in, from, and through the sea.
Air Forces secure air space by imposing physical costs (measured in watts) on adversaries operating in, from, and through air space.
Space Forces secure outer space by imposing physical costs (measured in watts) on adversaries operating in, from, and through outer space.
Cyber Forces secure cyber space by... encoding logic that adversaries can easily hack/exploit.
This reveals a major flaw: we’ve been using the wrong approach to secure cyberspace. Unlike the way we secure land, sea, air, and space, the way we secure cyberspace relies solely on encoded logic (software), not on imposing physical costs, for security.
To secure information/assets in cyberspace in a way that is consistent with other domains, the world needs to adopt a universal protocol that imposes a tangible physical cost on adversaries. This can be achieved by developing a protocol that digitizes the cost of physical power expenditure (measured in watts) and imposes those costs on cyber threats. Enter reusable Proof-of-Work (PoW) protocols.
Proof-of-Work (PoW) secures software by requiring a self-imposed, extra energy expenditure.
By creating a protocol where a certain amount of energy (watts) must be expended to execute commands, access networks, or transmit data, we establish a system that imposes a physical cost on adversaries attempting to disrupt or exploit cyberspace. This aligns our approach to cyber security to the approach we use to secure assets and access to all four other domains.
To that end, Bitcoin isn't a "coin" at all. It's Bitpower - the digital projection of physical power into cyberspace. We can use this network to PHYSICALLY secure information rather than LOGICALLY secure information. We're already using it to secure information we voluntarily choose to call financial information, hence why we call it a "coin."
In the future, people will use this "Bitpower protocol" as a self-imposed physical constraint for transferring info, sending command signals, accessing networks, etc etc. This will dramatically reduce the attack surface and impose physical costs on malicious actors. It will also make "Bitpower" tokens extremely valuable, for reasons that transcend its current use as "digital gold."

if you have the 12 words in your mind, you should tell them, otherwise you would be violating the law

It is a very interesting approach!
I think once Black Rock has entered the game, the possibilities of niche are really small. I would say that the possibilities of Internet are 90% or more. For me the only question is if it will be money (replacing FIAT in the future), or if it will be gold (replacing gold and maybe even real state as store of value).

Creo que el siguiente paso que necesitamos nosotros, los cripto anarquistas paranoides, es crear una economía circular en Bitcoin. ¿De qué nos sirve evitar que devaluen nuestra riqueza, la custodien, y nos controlen a través de ella, si luego no podemos gastarla?
Y aún teniendo una economía circular, siempre habrá cosas que será muy difícil comprar, como una casa o un coche.
Tengo claro que la autocustodia, la privacidad, etc, es el camino correcto, pero esos son temas que me preocupan y en los que creo que todavía nos queda un largo camino por recorrer.

Yo dejé de trabajar por cuenta ajena hará unos 15 años para dedicarme a hacer lo que me gustaba y, aunque he tenido muchísimas dificultades por el camino, nunca me he arrepentido de tomar aquella decisión. Al contrario.
En su momento me dió un poco de vértigo decidirme a dar el paso, pero sólo me duró media hora. 😊

Estuve como dos años levantándome a las 4:30. Quería probar las supuestas ventajas de productividad y mi conclusión es que eso no me hizo ser más productivo.
Ahora lo que hago es acostarme a la hora que me apetece, y dormir lo que me pide el cuerpo (no uso despertador), y me siento mucho más a gusto. También creo que ahora soy más productivo.

Lo que hace falta es que se extienda el pago de bienes y servicios en bitcoin. Entonces, en la mayoría de casos, no hará falta utilizar ningún exchange.

Creo que el problema principal siempre está al pasar a Euros. Por muy bien que hagas las cosas con BTC, si quieres comprar algo que tenga un importe un poco elevado, y tienes que pagar en euros, ahí es donde se pone difícil la cosa. Esto se solucionará, en parte, el día en que podamos comprar bienes y servicios con BTC.
