Ok Mr, not an economist, and can't speak well. 🙄

Obviously an educated economist and did wonderfully on the video.

Lies!

Thanks for your kind words, though :)

This is probably a stupid idea so I apologize in advance. What about writing about how bitcoin is now intersecting with communication and social media? I don't really know enough to even be making a suggestion, so I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, it just popped into my head.

Elaborate? Tell me more :)

Well, bitcoin is changing how we interact. V4V put skin in the game. Even though I'm anonymous, my online reputation matters now. And I actually have to think before I post because it costs something.

was always a case for reputation, no?

ed.: plus, from Matt Levine's newsletter today yesterday:

Guess reputation/cost goes both ways?

reply

Sure, but in non bitcoin versions of social media (reddit) i had no incentive to care about my reputation or the content of my post. Being completely anonymous doesn't matter at all there, and neither does shit posting. On SN, even though I'm still anonymous, my reputation matters. I'm incentivized to learn more, and put effort into my posts. I can make 500 shit posts on reddit and it's meaningless. Here, it would cost me.

I see, it's closer to real-world scarcity of social reputation/repeat interactions with people
