We go back to that. <br/><br/>The premise and etymology of &#39;money&#39; gets us stuck thinking There Can Be Only One. When there&#39;s only One Money in a system, you have a massive single point of failure. It&#39;s an awful design. When Bitcoin&#39;s price changes, ideally (in your view) billions of people would be affected all at once.<br/><br/>Not so in a system where everyone holds credit with dozens of merchants. When one merchant goes under their own credit hyperinflates - and nobody else&#39;s. This whole idea we need to yolk all of society together under One Money so they can sink or float all at once has to go.<br/><br/>Massive decentralization is the way forward. It isn&#39;t difficult to run a traceless credit system. That&#39;s how the world worked and survived tyrants; when you &#39;break even&#39; the ledger is smashed into a million pieces. Bitcoin is the opposite of &#39;traceless&#39;, it forces your transaction into a permanent ledger. <br/><br/>Pear Credit had the right approach (no blockchain, no permanent ledger, no transaction costs) but the project was announced by the Tether team in Nov 2022 and immediately memory holed. I am Jack&#39;s lack of surprise. cashu seemed to have hit on the same approach but couldn&#39;t help chaining itself to the block (or he&#39;s just rebranded to appeal to maxis, I can&#39;t figure out of it&#39;s still usable without the blockchain). 2024-01-14T22:44:10+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2htnvzknmh4e666jvjljewlyx32rn62kg7dz7x85wrz2908yxjsszyr4nv2j26hz4uhls9nk6s042khdlf697q747cftptwew86al777kz4m62pw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq83hgtpgf4ry3xygt7jdg02ntmvcnfkufz7x48tqymc6s6j9mysczxrk0w'>nevent1q…rk0w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Handy!

Because they want to replace private property with State planning, every resource and every transaction had to be logged in an endless double entry accounting chain. The first bloc chains. <br/><br/>Now we get to behold the spectacle of self-professed fans of decentralization using an akshully decentralized protocol to shill a single monopoly on money, cheer when it&#39;s instituted by countries as legal tender (using the State to force people on board) and worship the blockchain, that eternal immutable double entry accounting record of every transaction across the fucking currency in one database. Distributed is not decentralized. Every resilient centralized database, from Twitter to Bitcoin, is hosted on thousands of nodes. The real difference is Twitter has a private CDN and Bitcoin has a public CDN. The D in CDN stands for distribution. Nostr doesn&#39;t have a CDN because there&#39;s no single authoritative database to widely distribute. Decentralized ledgers have no concept of syncing up to a single authoritative global state.

Net inflation and net deflation are Keynesian concerns. They put the cart before the horse, it&#39;s top-down thinking, like &#39;Satoshi&#39; the central planner who thought he could enforce net deflation mathematically to get deflationary effects on the ground. Or, just wanted to bankrupt us all.<br/><br/>All I care about is net prosperity. What encourages voluntary exchanges -- the only place net prosperity excretes from, in the Austrian view -- and what doesn&#39;t. HODL is the opposite of exchange. Bitcoin is worse than a net-zero fixed pie gambling pool. It introduces net poverty, since it discourages voluntary exchanges in the present. Look at the lifestyle of the avg. Bitcoiner. That&#39;s a result of thinking and living like a Keynesian, not an Austrian, who makes as many voluntary exchanges as possible, understanding the buyer also profits from each one, in his own estimation (or he wouldn&#39;t have voluntarily bought). 2023-03-10T23:26:41+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyvcdc8r0j494vky65jgr3t4rlscsa272x0vgws2vdlfg3f5pe07szyr4nv2j26hz4uhls9nk6s042khdlf697q747cftptwew86al777kz0zedsf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv039djlvxzd4vz6xgha3wd525yxz5xpmltka7rx5x6nkuf4zz8gcvdemz3'>nevent1q…emz3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In terms of what... use cases? <br/><br/>Lol.<br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_5d501f5f285b5b1357fb9ed7c674ed30032deeb46ea6907d8a4b5f0bdecded41.png"> 2023-03-10T23:13:14+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgjx09uja59n5j9844hcexqfa7g3t0gz88su6jay3dtc4gc3stlaqzyr4nv2j26hz4uhls9nk6s042khdlf697q747cftptwew86al777kz9gsk23 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2zsmqyt3hzmxpdwrcwn65xt0sfkjk4hkcr0wdh9spv56gupzggsgmcsflf'>nevent1q…sflf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Out of curiosity, do you think we can run out of agreements?

This means the rate of supply is unresponsive to swings in demand.<br/><br/>The issue with this is, as the Austrian school will tell you, a market-determined rate of supply is *the* price stabilizing mechanism. <br/><br/>- When demand for tomatoes goes up, the price goes up, but supply also goes up which brings the price back down. A stabilizing mechanism. <br/><br/>- When demand for tomatoes goes down, the price goes down, but supply also goes down which brings the price back up. A stabilizing mechanism.<br/><br/>By removing the market determined rate of supply, and opting instead for wise central planners to determine the rate of supply in advance, Bitcoin has guaranteed price volatility, forever. It is missing the stabilizing mechanism. All it takes to swing the price is a swing in demand (real or faked). This is why it&#39;s so easy for a whale to prime the price before a big move by selling artificially low or high between their own wallets via the exchanges. Always will be.<br/><br/>Volatility matters because, like it or not, nobody can perform accurate economic calculation in advance if the price can swing 10% in a day. Talk about a way to screw up and economy for The Great Reset. That&#39;s what I think Bitcoin is for. It&#39;s engineered to discourage voluntary exchanges in favour of hoarding (HODL), which makes everyone poorer because exchanges are the only place real wealth comes from -- a felt improvement in standard of living for all parties.
