L2 is just paper money without ZK rollups.

My favorite game of all time was released from 90-92 and pretty much died with the DOS era..... so I decided to do something about it, using Nostr protocol:
https://github.com/greenm01/esterian_conquest

2026-03-28 17:47:28 UTC

I resurrected my all time favorite asynchronous strategy game on the Nostr protocol: Esterian Conquest.
https://github.com/greenm01/esterian_conquest
EC was old school and released in 1992 as a BBS Door game. Most of the action took place offline in your imagination offline. Log in once a day, make your move, log-out. Touch grass.
If you dig the terminal and tabletop strategy games, you might dig it.
I would consider the game beta. I've been working in a silo for awhile and could use some play-testing.
I'm not the original creator. This game thrived and died in the DOS era, originally developed in Turbo Pascal. I reverse engineered the old DOS binaries and completely re-wrote the game.... in Rust naturally.
Cheers! https://blossom.primal.net/830bd63fd717ba3071625b9ad1e6a296422b8761939327c9ac600458c0d48c68.png https://blossom.primal.net/3dc5e4d4a4cc8450d6daba50c7d50a4e334454b7db374660c6be0e3b7cca9d56.png https://blossom.primal.net/77a5fb590f23119285ea93cbe9340a2ef84d48615b52cc3554810a001a530832.png https://blossom.primal.net/d3ae93f1a43d7de4669e7733a4c98d0a3db4cae16bddc2832768cfa466c198ce.png

“A stable price level and a high and stable level of employment do not require or permit the total quantity of money to be kept constant or to change at a constant rate. [...] The supply of money must possess considerable elasticity.”
– F.A. Hayek: The Denationalisation of Money
#elasticity #bitcoin #money

2024-07-12 11:09:36 UTC

After the last #Satoshi is mined, what are the macroeconomic impacts of a slowly declining #BTC supply? The purchasing power is entirely dependent upon demand. How does the system respond to system shocks/crisis? On a purely #gold standard the supply and demand are relatively stable over time because of mining feedback, e.g. the period from 1789 to 1913 when #inflation was near zero. How do we achieve price stability in a #hyperbitcoin world?

Appreciate the references. Have already read Saifedean Ammous and Jimmy Song's work. I'm 95% on board, but still have to work out the ethos how a decentralized, hard money will will scale on BTC and still adhere to the Nakamoto vision of freedom money. Trust but verify.
Understand the ideological battle going on here. We are still in the very early days, so expect a difficult path forward. The establishment will fight tooth-and-nail against a BTC world reserve currency. Power.
In regard to winning people over, half the battle is in the approach. @npub1587…kv0n

ok, considering Rothbard calls for abolishing the Fed, there's no alternative other than a free bank system, and he makes a strong case for it. His idea of hard money was gold, but that was before Satoshi. I'm sure he would support proof of work consensus if he was alive today. https://image.nostr.build/0964494d205e801cda1e1b7b3aad07e97b9b49b2bfdee0988a3875585d629b26.jpg

fractional reserve is printing more IOUs than one has in supply. Call it theft if it's not advertised as a loan. Good luck holding international or anonymous mints accountable. Here's a good video explaining the current scaling problems with L2+. To ignore these issues is dininginuous bad faith. How likely will it be to hard fork BTC to enable rollups? BitVM currently vaporware with it's own issues. https://youtu.be/5Cq0C0SpbkY?si=uX2z1d-QaYeV-Mvs

L2 will not scale to mass adoption, as the block size has a limit on the number of channels it can support. Scaling will require L3 such as ecash and the like for regular plebes. This is nothing more than a paper IOU. The game theory leads to fractional reserve minting, as custodians lower fees and offer more incentives to compete for customers. Watch what happens to the market when mint runs start snowballing.

2024-07-04 18:08:49 UTC

- reply

As mints compete with lower fees and more services, the incentives lead to lending out more ecash than available in the reserve. Yes, this is theft and will be aparent when people run off the mint all at once.

The danger still exists if the government creates a fractional reserve system on top of Bitcoin. Think of a government controlled layer 2 or 3 where IOUs are paper BTC. Just like the gold system. 99% of people will be priced out of L1.
