Jeff Booth makes a similar (though not exactly the same, if I remember correctly) point in his recent interview with Natalie Brunell, which I highly recommend. I think the point Saylor is making is that you WILL be enormously wealthy, in terms of purchasing power and holding the hardest asset on earth, but he’s probably using USD to make the point sensible/comprehensible for a wide audience. It takes a number of rounds and some mental yoga to get to the point where Jeff’s approach really lands. If that makes sense?
Me too! I’d make an account ages ago but it got lost in the shuffle. That panel made this forum feel profoundly purposeful. I left social media years ago and with few exceptions have rarely looked back. It felt like unscrambling an egg, mentally, to drop out (kinda like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again). But talking about that always felt preachy without an alternative that combats the real problem. And here we are! So grateful for those who not only know THAT we need this, but - unlike me - HOW to get it done. 🙏❤️
Just got back from BTC Nashville! Trying to wrap my head around nostr and am excited by the prospect of Nostr addressing the key threats articulated by Snowden, who was powerful and profound but unnervingly short on concrete recommendations beyond “work together.”
I am passionate about invigorating the creation of so-called “third spaces” in real life, a la Putnam’s “Bowling Alone,” and am really excited to learn more about how nostr and Fedi can help bring these about.
I spend two weekends a month (approx) getting to know recounting voters and understanding their feelings and priorities. It’s humbling, and a constant reminder of the breadth of human experience about which we are each - by definition - relatively ignorant. I really want to break open the false binaries; people are awesome (proven to me for the millionth time in Nashville) but we so rarely encounter each other in an unmediated way.
