Oddbean new post about login | logout It’s good to hear about what’s going on other than USA thanks to @petermccormack we sometimes hear about UK but it’s annoying to hear this from Netherlands. For some reason in my mind Netherlands always supposed to be the poster boy for Proof of Work. Especially if it makes the trade channels available for everyone. But government and big corporations doesn’t hold the culture of the nation I guess.
I’m in parliament on Tuesday discussing exactly this.
How did it go?
That is a great question. It was clear that the people I spoke with are still far away from understanding bitcoin. They wanted to plan a roundtable discussion to increase the level of knowledge in parliament. There currently is no broad support for that yet. We will await broader support.
There are millions of “fronts” that people trying to push to broaden the borders of understanding Bitcoin among people. It’s great to see almost like an harmony between decentralized movement of people. I guess they call it incentives but I tend to see something greater in this than just that. It’s incentives aligned with believes. There is almost something meta that a decentralized thing cause this kind of decentralized movements. I can’t help it to make me believe that we’re going to win. That being said I failed to make my closest friends invent in Bitcoin meanwhile they already invested another friend’s NFT project with their etherium which looks practically dead now. (Although I didn’t understand Bitcoin at that time so I also did that 🤦🏻♂️)
