 The politics of the fiat world is so full of fear & lack. It's almost like the social structures are created to provide confidence to their leaders. Fiat = by decree. Power is bestowed to an individual & then they build a base of loyal minions to carry out the activities & maintain power structures. 🤮

My thinking is that there has to be many clubs less than the size of Dunbar's number. Freedom to join & exit is paramount. It has to be voluntary with no coercion or force.

The idea that there's 1 team Bitcoin is an illusion at best.

Decentralised communities & projects are complex & chaotic but free from systemic risk. As individuals we're vulnerable & we need to share knowledge, skills & resources if we are to survive, let alone thrive.

The "my club is better than the other clubs" bullshit doesn't fly though. At the end of the day, Honey Badger DGAF about your club. Clubs & leaders will emerge & dissolve based on the value that they provide & the needs that arise.
