then you are more optimistic than me on the timeline. I think we have the low-hanging fruit of people who will be interested for either technical or ideological reasons. but for the vast swathes of normies, fiat is always going to work better. until they are made to care about either inflation, privacy, or censorship resistance, you literally can’t build anything superior, as judged by criteria they care about.
I don’t mean this to be too doomery. I still think we win in the end and of course all this stuff ought to be built to facilitate victory. I’m just trying to be realistic about *how* we win.

most people think fiat works. we win at the margin when they get rugged and learn the error of their ways.

TIL it’s an open problem whether there exists a polynomial bijection from Q to QxQ and therefore apparently a very very difficult question.
who knew?

I haven’t used but reading the comments it seems a bit clunky if viewed solely from that perspective. I think with enough volume you could justify a market maker that can actually quote prices and redeem instantly.

I once wasted an entire hour of pitching Axiom listening to some public pension plan schlub tell me how farcaster is the future and that it’s very existence proves crypto is a better stack to build apps on that route around bitcoin entirely. I hope the plan’s beneficiaries thank him for his service.

doesn’t it feel weird? Q has infinitely many holes in it.

2026-01-24 09:51:42 UTC

- reply

heine borel and anything relying on compactness fails.
weirdest/coolest result is IVT fails too, which is bizarre because on R continuity is strictly stronger than IVP, but in dense-but-not-complete R that flips.

2026-01-23 13:12:46 UTC

they don’t tell you that virtually every concept surrounding continuity works on functions from Q to Q.
they don’t tell you this because they want you to be ignorant and afraid.

ah but you are assuming the algebra works such that (a,b)*(c,d)=(a*c,b*d) whereas I am analogising it to how C works with reals.

2026-01-21 22:34:07 UTC

think of it this way: to perform any arithmetic operation in QxQ you can only possibly require multiplication and addition of rationals, which, given Q is closed (just not complete) will give you answers in QxQ too.

2026-01-21 22:30:15 UTC

- reply

why don’t they work? every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse (which is kinda trivially demonstrable). what are you thinking the issue is?

2026-01-21 22:27:07 UTC

- reply

I think you are reading too much into it. QxQ is useless, just fun. you may have missed it but I declared the other day this is a mathslop account now.

2026-01-21 21:46:00 UTC

- reply

exactly

2026-01-21 21:45:38 UTC

- reply

I don’t think so. {a+bi : a,b∈Q} is a field, multiplication exists and is closed. it’s just not complete, but that’s obvious because Q isn’t complete.

2026-01-21 21:25:02 UTC

- reply

go on …

2026-01-21 21:20:25 UTC

nobody ever talks about the complex-ish numbers as QxQ
everybody’s all “nooooooo you need to go from Q to R and THEN to C noooooo you have to do it in that order!”
but like … you don’t :/

Gödel’s third incompleteness theorem is that any sufficiently complex pseudo-intellectual thoughtwank is incomplete without nonsensical reference to the first two theorems.

that is not at all what the incompleteness theorems say, nor do they have any bearing whatsoever on physical systems. this is all literal nonsense. it is not even wrong.

it’s also the game theoretically perfect FUD because it will never actually happen, hence the theoretical threat will never go away, hence the materially conflicted can get research grants and engagement farm forever.
