Thanks Rev - means a lot to have you in my corner!

You’re not wrong

There is a fiat institution, yes, but there is an institution of a marriage that lives beyond that realm. Perhaps it lives in the realm of God. Bitcoin will both challenge the conventional bases for marriages and provide the access to God that will be needed to navigate through them.

I assure you that whatever the real data is - Bitcoin will increase the divorce rate significantly in the next 50 years. Bitcoin will wreck all institutions - especially relationship oriented institutions - until we figure out how to rebuild them around its existence.

Bitcoin is not a think that anyone understands. It is not money. It is not property. It is not any “thing” and you are nobody to limit it to any of these things. Bitcoin is a clue to a bigger puzzle. The clue is not useful to people who think they already know the answer. Bitcoin is valuable - ONLY - to people who can acknowledge that they don’t understand what it is and what it’s here for. Perhaps it’s entire value is to make us inquirers because the people who “think they know” are most certainly NGMI

I’m really excited for this but I’m freaked out that I just signed up and all of a sudden it’s in my Primal feed. I had to ping several friends to find the invite link. Are we sure Primal is as divorced from the tech as we think it is?

This is signal. I hope this starts to happen more often!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K0tLC1bgUw I converted Saylor's MIT dissertation "A Machivellian Approach to Economics" into a YouTube series. This particular video is highly revealing about the way Michael Saylor views executive power and the impact of societal norms on executive ability.

I forgot this was your nym! 😂😂😂

If you are not hopeful of humanity, you’re not going to navigate owning and HODL’ing Bitcoin very well. NGU requires no faith in humanity. But getting through your fears of what people will use the chain for and how they will leave it for our descendants requires a strong faith in our better selves prevailing as a species. Bitcoin won’t alter humanity or fix a God-damned thing unless we allow it to and that requires the utmost faith that humans will make it work.

Appreciate you saying so - I’d love to know more about what is ringing your bell on this.

Talk to me this weekend - I’d love to talk about your book.
