One of Doug Casey’s pet projects is pitching market reforms to 3rd world dictators.
I suppose a low trust market economy would have lots of personal protection goods and services, including self-custody solutions, with elaborate no-trust exchange systems.
I can’t because @realBitcoinDog handles our rent.
Why do I get notifications of you replying to me if this is a supposed norm?
I said that I wish it were a norm. I’m clearly part of the problem.
I’m torn, because that gimmick works better on a longer timeline but I actually prefer an earlier rebuy.
I suspect the meaning of that question will get tricky as we dig into what it means for the market to supply something like that.
For example, markets have preconditions that must exist in the culture or they won’t persist anyway. So, do we include those cultural conditions in the question?
That’s what I meant. Tighter policy is obvious from a fundamentals standpoint. We’ve had elevated inflation for something like 25 straight quarters.
I accidentally bought 27k cowboy credits yesterday, while trying to troubleshoot a lightning payment problem I was having with Zeus.
We haven’t been down to the 2% target since Covid.
It would be a no-brainer to raise rates if it weren’t blatantly about politics.
I can feel it. Today’s his day to beat the old man.
You don’t have to sell me on making trust great again.
It'll probably be centuries before we need more than a couple of giant lava tubes or craters, both of which are almost inexhaustibly abundant on both the Moon and Mars.
Newer stackers shouldn't trust @mallardshead or @davidw, just because we do.
For instance, I zap your posts immediately because I've come to respect your thinking and am interested to read what you have to say, not because of how others regard you.
It's almost like paying a subscription to a blog. I'm not going to pay to read the random thoughts of someone I don't know and who has no track record.
If there's a great, thought-provoking post, that I can judge to be high-quality, then I'll zap it regardless of authorship. Those kinds of posts are not generally what we're talking about, though.
I'm not sure if it's particularly tricky. There's a lot of real estate and, outside of highly modified protected environments, there don't seem to be any places where life would easily spread.
My sense is that we can basically just pick a few places to try to colonize, which will require isolation from the outside environment, anyway.

Do you think the typical examples, like frontier settlers or pre-state Ireland, don’t translate to modern settings for some reason?
The real question is compared to what. There will be some degree of security and dispute resolution, so what you must mean is that people would prefer the cost of government services to the cost of private.
