- With too much content available, Reddit communities or Facebook groups attempt to sustain new models of attention attraction to grab your attention.
- Things got serious. Harari, in his book on artificial intelligence, maintains something I agree with: today the battle is not to create content, but how the human being can consume all the available content without falling into the detriment of quality.
This is a very nice way of stating the problem. We all want access to useful and good information, and there is a huge amount of it out there, but it can easily become diluted or weakened by fluff or slop. And the result is that we waste our time.
I thought this would be an easy question to answer. It isn't.
I think I will go with net positive. My reasoning is that if Bitcoin is so weak that some ignorant affinity scammers can harm it, it must not be very durable.
This is a weak army though.
What sort of fucked up world are we in where it makes sense to centralize the decentralized internet onto a flakey CDN? Has the internet bubble gone the same way as the AI bubble will go?
Do you think Bitcoin is destined for a different outcome?
My hope is that maybe the fact that economic incentives are rolled into it will help, but there is no question that there are centralizing pressures on mining, and same for self-custody, which is to say on merchants who will accept the coin.
But not feeling optimistic here.

I saw something on nostr that said DM them for US shipping.
They are Canada-based.
This may not quite align with what you are asking, but it made me think of this line from Cryptoeconomics Reservation Principle
The purpose of a reserve currency is to tax.
If countries like ES buy bitcoin with fiat money (even if in ES's case, they don't actually control the printer), it would seem like the reason to do so is to later issue a new money against it? The playbook already happened with gold: states mostly hold it, while people hold paper.
Seems like I could make a rule of this: anyone who demands you install specific software to do generic things is a scammer.
This is pretty awful. It's interesting to see numbers attached to all the anecdotes I've been hearing:
Together, the 39 of 45 police forces that replied to the Mail's freedom of information (FOI) requests arrested around 9,700 people last year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.However, the total arrest figures are likely to be higher, as six forces failed to respond to FOI requests or provided inadequate data, including Police Scotland, the second-largest force in the UK.
You have to wonder about the people enforcing these rules on the ground. I want to say that I would feel outraged to be told to go arrest some sod who said something mean on Twitter. At the same time, Covid and society in general lately have made me feel that it is far easier to slip into unreasonable attitudes than I had previously expected.
