Oddbean new post about login | logout The parallels between #bitcoin and chess are undeniable. Check mate. https://v.nostr.build/w2ypxxbEz2DybzIZ.mp4
I've always had this feeling that Bitcoiners tend to start talking about the same thing at about the same time. This doesn't just apply to topics that have been raised on large stages. Interesting hive mind. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp6jhkf0h547xr47ap0mzgyfyffvq6ecfus4zqs506wql38hc6c7mqqsdp6lvkl7d47kr9qj8jurh9pju5p0fs8hy5r8akt7eq9gfvq26gkqk0j5a6
The parallels are striking. Chess 960 would then be the equivalent of a shitcoin? At least in chess 960 the starting position is different from classical chess...
not a shitcoin, it's really fun, perhaps even more fun than regular chess because it avoid opening theory that kinda ruined chess
That's exactly what I'm saying, shitcoins obviously are a lot of fun because you don't have to play by the old, boring, well-known, agreed upon rules which makes bitcoin a real proof of work to mine and master... As for chess, I'm very much on your side 👌
