Bitcoin is hawk tuah money.


Never regret showing kindness, even if it's misinterpreted or exploited. Every act of kindness sends ripples through the world, and life has a way of rewarding you for putting it out there.

Most people are familiar with fiat currencies, and will wonder how Bitcoin differs from it. In this chapter, nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m and nostr:npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec give their explanations, which are indispensable for anyone new to Bitcoin.

Below is John Vallis’ answer, as written in “𝟮𝟭 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀”:

https://m.primal.net/HpWE.png

𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀’ 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿:

Money is the fundamental organizing and coordinating mechanism of a market, and as such, its qualities, which determine the functions which it either permits or prohibits, are highly consequential in both subtle and obvious ways. If there is an inherent unfairness in the money, as is the case with fiat, then that unfairness will propagate, through the money, into every corner and facet of the market which uses it — which is to say, into the people who use it.

In this particular case, fiat is unfair because a certain (small) group of people are permitted to obtain it for free (to ‘print’ it), while others must sacrifice their time and energy to do so. The result is, expectedly, the subjugation of the latter to the former. Such a market comes to increasingly reflect not the ‘will’ of each individual’s choices, but those of a very small few, as they may siphon off purchasing power and deploy it in whatever manner they see fit. The inevitable result is an unnatural concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few — those who control or have privileged access to the ‘money printer’ (or digital equivalent).

You may also characterize fiat as a ‘lie’. While perhaps not intuitive or obvious, part of the reason why money is able to perform the stabilizing or harmonizing function which it does, is because it ‘carries’ information about the preferences of all market actors, and the associated time, energy, and sacrifices which were made to either act or not act on them (among other information). If there is an entity arbitrarily manipulating the money supply, all that information becomes corrupted and distorted, and the fidelity with which it coheres to the preferences of market actors, and the market circumstances broadly, is diminished. Decisions are thus made on false or imperfect information, and as such, due to their diminished coherence with ‘reality’, are more likely to be made in error, or to be more wasteful or destructive than necessary. The longer this goes on, the more such a money will erect a ‘false reality’, increasingly detached from what individual preferences and action, in relation to the natural and social worlds, would otherwise have dictated.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, does not permit such arbitrary manipulations, nor any degree of unfairness from one user to the next. Everyone is subject to the same rules. The result is a scenario in which unfairness, and all the damaging consequences of it, is impossible, and where truth, rather than falsehood, is rightly the basis upon which people interact (economically).

Simply put, fiat is immoral, and the qualities that make it so, erect an all-encompassing system of incentives which inevitably influences those who (are forced to) use it. Conversely, bitcoin operates on truth and fairness, and thereby erects (or will erect) an all-encompassing system of virtuous incentives, which likewise will influence behavior in accordance with them.

Simply put, a fiat standard is immoral and destructive, and a bitcoin standard will be virtuous and creative.

Likewise brother🍻


Likewise brother, look forward to more. Just the beginning😉🙏


I appreciate that. That is indeed why I’ve been quiet. Hopefully there will be much more to discuss when it is done. 🍻🙏


I agree.


I was moved to tears several times at Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira.

The quality, sincerity, generosity, kindness, respect, and encouragement which characterize the interactions I had is on a level I’ve never before witnessed or experienced.

All those people, with a shared passion and dedication for the mission, humbled by all which it represents, interacting with each other as fundamentally equal, but experientially and intellectually unique, creates the best possible foundation for friendship, for mutual understanding, for helping and supporting each other, or for just hanging out and basking in the shared experience, and whatever forces are generating it.

It’s become such a consistent occurrence (though more pronounced each time) that it’s easy to forget just how special it is.

Bitcoin (only) conferences aren’t ‘industry events’, they are little wormholes to the future that flash open for a few days so people can feel what things are like when we orient and express our actions around such a form of truth - as represented in, accessed through, and propagated by, bitcoin.

‘Number go up’ is great and necessary, and none of this would happen without it, but it’s a ‘means’, not an ‘ends’.

What is experienced between people when they are so humbled by the truth, and so lifted and liberated by its presence, is the true nexus of creative inspiration, from which all that is good and beautiful may spring. That is the true ‘ends’, which we might simply understand to be alignment with the generative force we call ‘love’, and the products thereof.

Not the phony, wishy-washy, ‘everyone can be right’ kind of ‘love’, but the one which allows for argument and debate, honest feedback and opinion, while remaining grounded in a paramount aim that is movement toward Truth, which subordinates any divisive differences to this, ultimately uniting, shared objective.

Anyways, Bitcoin Atlantis just reminded me how incredible what’s happening here really is, and how much of a pleasure and honour it is to be sharing it with you (you know who you are).

Thank you.

🧡


Bitcoin Atlantis was a glimpse into the future…and it looks incredible.

I sometimes use it as a stand-in or catch-all for those people who act dishonestly, unfairly, or immorally at the expense of others, knowingly or not. There are perhaps many ways Gigi’s ‘Us’ answer could be interpreted, but I see one as the inevitability of everyone being a ‘they’ (pejoratively) to someone, mostly by ignorance. For example, I might consider those who knowingly and selfishly perpetuate an unfair monetary system, at the expense of those coerced (legal tender laws) to use it, to be a ‘they’. Similarly, the mother of a young boy ‘forced’ to work in cobalt mines in response to my demand for the phone I’m writing this on, may consider me a ‘they’. Ultimately, though I sometimes (lazily) use it myself, I think if we are to criticize anyone or anything, it is not only more accurate, but far more useful, to be as specific as possible when we do so. This allows us to isolate the issue, and devise a solution, without catching in the net of our condemnation those who aren’t deserving of it, and de-legitimizing our capacity and reliability for identifying the true cause and culprits of problems in the process. Of course, one may go even further and simply come to the conclusion that even being specific with one’s criticisms is a sub-optimal (and again, lazy) approach, and one ought to focus entirely on the solutions (to perceived problems) which are within one’s capacity or control - basically just adhering to Bucky Fullers advice regarding building solutions which make problems (be they people or systems) obsolete. I see the latter as being the most legitimate and effective, and try to use the former less and less.

As many of you know, ‘adopting’ #bitcoin  tends to have several positive impacts on one’s life, including one’s approach to health. To explore this phenomenon in more detail (and recap his experience with the Canadian trucker protest), nostr:npub1y6fgn44qqnt3szsqvu4xklfm4m7sg2lw2kf4qel8qmwd2q875l0sky3u6x joins me for the first ep of the ‘Bitcoiner Health Hang’ series.

"I think part of the sadness looking back at this 'covid fever' that we went through is the trust that was decimated in the world of medicine, unfortunately. Because doctors went from being the people to inform you about the choice you were about to make to the person that was basically coercing you to do something, even if it didn't feel good.

Like we said at the start, the less you know about something the more vulnerable you are to having someone else tell you what you should do.

And even if that's a good person, if they're working in a shitty system or they're under duress because their salary depends on them telling you a certain thing... if these people are being coerced, then by de facto you are collateral damage."

The bitcoin circular economy is not just about transacting in bitcoin, it’s also about transacting with people who share a similar set of values, which inevitably influences the products and services which they offer, and the manner in which they do so.

@RemnantMd is one such example. A medical doctor & bitcoiner, he is pushing back against ‘fiat medicine’, by exploring an approach to health which is more consistent with ‘bitcoin values & principles’.

He was also on the front lines during ‘the hysteria’, and shares with me his take on the many ‘shenanigans’ that took place, the distorted incentives that led to the misrepresenting of facts, treatments which harmed rather than helped, and his arc from hero to villain at the hospital where he worked, ultimately being dismissed for his resistance to mandates.

It’s a wild and important story / perspective to hear.
