252 sats \ 4 replies \ @om 28 Apr 2023 \ on: Nobody can stop AI now. Except farmers. bitcoin
I've heard this sort of anprim noises from Derrick Broze (Freedom Cells / Conscious Resistance) before. You articulate it better I think (the bar is low though). That said I disagree with you almost everywhere.
Division of labour is actually good. Free market always evolves towards greater efficiency. If you're more efficient farming and I'm more efficient pressing buttons on a computer, then the market would push you to do only farming and me to do only pushing buttons. Having good money such as Bitcoin only makes the market even more efficient and therefore promotes even stronger division of labour.
And this stuff goes into cringe WTF territory:
Thanks for your feedback. I should have elaborated on my "developer" critique better, or left it out altogether because it's somewhat of a different topic.
Here is something to ponder, though:
What good are your computer skills if you need permission to access food.

What good are your computer skills if you need permission to access food.
In this case you need black market. And the black market needs Bitcoin. Even you'll need Bitcoin because you still need fertilizer, energy, fuel, tools and computers.

Ok, great. Your approach seems to align with Derrick Broze's. His books discuss the importance of black markets throughout history.
I don't believe Bitcoin can cut it in black markets. Nothing beats cash or silver and gold coins, in those scenarios.

Indeed, my disagreements with Derrick Broze are not about the importance of black markets.
But all of those things can't be sent through the net, and that locks down your black market to the physical world. Here's 100 sats, see how Bitcoin works where cash and metals don't?
