I'm planning on writing a full fledged chapter on this, and I briefly mention the idea in Chapter 1 of my book in progress here --> https://hackernoon.com/bitcoin-has-orange-pilled-millions-of-people-including-presidents-and-billionaires
Basically, the idea is to NOT use those things. Kind of like how in martial arts, one builds strength so as to avoid fights but also, survive a fight in case it happens. Not to pick one.
I'm not leaning into Jason Lowry's power projection idea, I'm leaning into what I could call anti-fragility projection, if that makes sense.
Bottom line:
-
Bitcoin would be respected a hell of a lot more if it orange-pilled massive numbers of power projecting humans. Who would use this power to protect Bitcoin, not to start fights (that's bad for the network) with anyone.
-
Bitcoin will leverage AI to stop bad actors misusing bodyguards, armies and nukes. Given the tremendous cost of producing and firing weapons (i read each missile eats up like 25BTC. That's crazy. Only a few firings and the strategic reserve will be dry. Not counting bullets and rebuilding costs), in a hyperbitcoinized world, we shall not spend much on weapons. Spending on cheaper AI to stop wasteful weapons manufacturing and wars will seem like a most efficient use of AI.
Hope this isn't too crazy an idea :-)
Thoughts.
