Thanks for this. More sophisticated than my Bitcoin price is easier to manipulate than the gold price idea.
This helps better understand the whole ‘Bitcoin is money for enemies’ concept
For Bitcoin to achieve their national security goals, other states need to feel at least as secure holding it as they would gold
Nice. A fiat world which values Bitcoin at +$2T is better than a fiat world with the same
2T in housing and stocks. Hopefully, more to follow.
Bitcoin is already being used to disperse the inflationary effects on real world prices, such that it doesn't directly go into the stock and housing markets thereby destroying price signals and collapsing the currency
People are fully invested in a system which encourages them to take a mortgage to secure a home. House prices must rise to make it all worthwhile. So, Bitcoin must not outperform real estate over the long-term.
Most Bitcoiners: Satoshi acted alone. Bitcoin has nothing to do with the 3 letter agencies
Shocknet: Intel agencies literally exist to effect what you deny
Interesting. My mind jumps to number of users when thinking about network effects. But, no. of users * wealth within the network is a better metric.
Bitcoin is an economic network, it’s about the network's economic weight not the number of users.
You write so well.
Funny: I also leave my basement and walk among normies.
And profound: We aren't gonna intellectually revolutionize the masses. Change comes through utility.
Excuse me while I get this good stuff on nostr.
Oof!
NGU is the only signal that will get people's attention. People are dumb. They are distracted. They are ignorant. They are lazy. Their one weird friend getting rich will be a wake up call. If you think people are suddenly gonna wake up to Austrian economics or sovereignty or any of the many other things that attracted most of us you are delusional.
The about section looks back to front to me.

Gonna cross post this to nostr.
I imagine your Nat Sec watcher nodding in agreement!
Zapping needs to put into the wider context of how Stacker News works.
There are some contributors whose thoughts I value so much that I have turned notifications on for e.g. Justin Shocknet and Kepford.
Interaction and incentives are not immune to zapping but are also not primarily shaped by them.
As long as sites allow users to shape the UX so that bad elements can be filtered out and good elements enhanced, the impact of zaps is not a big deal.
