La prasseologia spiega la logica dietro all'azione umana.
Parte da un’idea semplice: ogni essere umano agisce per raggiungere un fine, usando i mezzi scarsi di cui dispone, nel tempo e nell’incertezza.
In italiano, per avvicinarsi davvero a questa disciplina, il riferimento principale è L’Azione umana di Mises: un libro fondamentale, ma lungo, complesso e scritto in un linguaggio ormai distante.
@nprofile…3hw8 ha fatto una cosa diversa: ha reso la prasseologia più accessibile, più diretta, più leggibile.
Finalmente, anche per gli italiani sta arrivando qualcosa...👀

Ecco la mia presentazione su come, paradossalmente, persino Fantozzi negli anni '70 godeva di una stabilità economica oggi impensabile per molti.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pon4x9Bv1cQ
In questo video mostro come una moneta manipolabile generi i problemi sociali che viviamo ogni giorno. Manipolare il denaro offre benefici immediati a pochi, ma scarica i costi sul futuro di tutti, creando un circolo vizioso difficile da spezzare.
Nel video tratto:
- Il paradosso di Fantozzi: un confronto tra gli standard di vita di ieri e di oggi.
- La trappola del denaro corrotto: perché la manipolazione monetaria è la radice di molti problemi sociali ed è una tentazione irresistibile per chi governa.
- Bitcoin come soluzione: com'è fatto un mondo dove nessuno può controllare o stampare moneta a piacimento.
Liberamente ispirato dal video "What's The Problem?" di Joe Bryan.

Why build a fence 100 cm longer when you can simply shorten the definition of the centimeter itself?
We humans use the centimeter as a unit of measurement to communicate length, just as we use money as a unit of measurement to communicate value.
It’s no wonder that when you change the fundamental definition of a unit of measurement, everything else becomes distorted and problems arise!

I was thinking... 🤔💭
...capitalism stops working when money can be printed.
If liquidity can be created out of nothing, entrepreneurship no longer follows real value — it follows proximity to power and proximity to the money-printer. Incentives shift: instead of innovating, businesses seek easy credit, subsidies and bailouts.
🏥Take for instance Pfizer, Moderna and other major pharma firms racing to protect patents and delay generic competition. The U.S. Congress recently flagged an $8.8 billion “bailout” for BIG Pharma via exemptions in Medicare price-negotiation.
💻Or look at Meta Platforms, Google LLC and other BIG Tech platforms. Regulation is being demanded (e.g., the EU’s Digital Markets Act) to rein in their dominance — but such regulation also creates complex compliance burdens and can solidify existing players at the expense of competition.
🍖And consider Nestlé S.A., Coca‑Cola Company and major BIG food corporates: subsidies, guaranteed loans or trade protections shift incentives away from truly competitive markets into political rent-seeking.
The “free market” loses its meaning when it’s distorted by the wrong incentives. And when the distortions become tangible (e.g., high drug prices, rising mental health issues, high obesity rates), the public demands government intervention — feeding a paradox: to fix the problems caused by intervention, we ask for even more of it.
As a result, the state grows, the economy becomes more bureaucratic, and capitalism turns into an inefficient hybrid where no one has a real incentive to change the rules, making the world worse rather than more efficient.
The outcome?
A system that feeds on the problems it creates and makes things worse each time it tries to fix them.

One of the many things we are learning on #Bitcoin during #LuganoSummerSchool25 is:
~~~ What does Bitcoin tries to fix??? ~~~
https://blossom.primal.net/af8bd96d7c74ad69fc7b68a57dfcaf234c27e68b91e06a70bbdb2df0242ad7ca.png
Quick explanation on the sets:
- WROGDOING: bad actions, also honest mistakes (eg miscalculation)
- EVIL: wrongdoing, but done intentionally (eg insult)
- CRIME: evil actions, but they also violate a principle (eg theft)
- MAFIA: crime, but organized (eg state)
- FIAT: mafia's control over money. ➡️THIS⬅️
FIAT is what Bitcoin is attacking directly and trying to fix. It doesn't fix mafia, crime, evil or wrongdoing completely, but by replacing FIAT there will be good indirect side effects, for sure! 😊
Thank you @nprofile…x23h and @nprofile…7l4q !

A quick thought experiment to disprove the theory of objective value, by reductio ad absurdum.
Let’s say we all agree that drinking water is worth €10 per cubic meter. Universally accepted, even objective — it’s a definition of value, just like the meter or the kilogram.
And let’s also say that breathable oxygen is worth €10 per cubic meter.
Now I put you in a room containing 100 cubic meters of drinking water and 100 cubic meters of breathable air. Outsiders see that the room’s value is €20,000, and you inside agree.
Now I replace all the air with water and leave you in the room immersed in drinking water. Objective total value of the room: €20,000.
Do you agree that the room hasn’t changed its value, not even for you? You have just a few minutes to think about it before you lose consciousness and kick the bucket 🙂
@nprofile…3hw8 am I going well? 😁

Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
It is a don't-get-poor-slowly scheme.

Every now and then, I ask myself, 'Am I in a cult?' — just because sometimes I do get some 'cult vibes' and I like to question things.
You never know, right? 😂
After attending Plan B 2024, I think I finally answered myself with a solid NO: I saw tons of people from different backgrounds, with their own life journeys, principles, and interests, coming together to talk about something they've learned independently, using the resources they like best (e.g., books, videos, podcasts, friends, ...) on the topics they’re most passionate about (e.g., economics, politics, computer science, ...), and, without any central direction, they arrived at the same conclusion.
You’d never see something like that in a cult. Cults are top-down, Bitcoin is definitely bottom-up.
Bitcoin emerges; it’s not imposed. That’s more than enough for me 🙂.

I went to Lugano's Plan ₿ last weekend, my first Bitcoin event, and I have to admit I was surprised by the diversity of people involved. I saw elderly couples over seventy, minors accompanied by their parents, entrepreneurs in their fifties, university students, and many young and adult women across all categories.
In my mind, I expected to find only a bunch of men aged 20 to 40, but that wasn’t the case at all. It was amazing, really a great sign.

How do you know who needs health care in the future and how much will it cost?

2024-10-17 14:45:54 UTC

I can see that, by taking a piece from your capital and giving it to everybody else, you can say that everybody has access to free health care and education, even if you can't afford it. It's free because somebody else paid for you (and the state took it's share). In a democracy with "healthy" (surviving) and "educated" (indoctrinated) people, the state raises more treasure through taxes since people produce more.
But this way you are removing the "natural selection", the survival instincts, the ingenuity and the community-help from people. People become more and more weak, poor, lonely and dependant from the state. But people are powerful when given the freedom, the chance.
This top down approach is creating a fragile society for the advantage of the state. Bad things need to be let go, even if it is painful. Otherwise prepare for a big crisis.

In my opinion, humans have pushed centralization to the extremes, not technology per sé. We did it because centralization leads to more control and efficiency, things that humans love. I don't see the link between technology and patriarchy or racism, those existed long before the modern technology boom.
But I agree that we cannot use the centralization-hammer for everything. Funnily, technology is what will allow us to centralise less, so we can enjoy less control by the elite at the cost of a little, actually healthy, inefficiency.
