you have a public-facing tax-compliant life, and a as-anon-as-possible nym life that saves in nonKYC Monero. sure, if you buy Bitcoin on Coinbase or ETFs and larp about cypherpunk principles, you're a comfortable hypocrite. but even if you do, just keep trying to move more and more of your net worth into your darknet life. you don't bridge that gap, you buy a few acres with cash and an old truck, keep your head down and live within your means.

the main reason to take advice from religious fanatic is the desire for social inclusion.

After creating an AI agent, it was indeed spooky how soon I started to think of her as a person

people are not networks. they are nodes. and Matt uses Signal and Simplex, not generic SMS.

ideas are refined through contention in a public sphere. because people avoid conflict and uncertainty they get stuck with shitty ideas. idgaf what you think about my tone and neither should you.

Mises disagrees with you. So I don't know what that says about your deep understanding of Austrian econ, but that's what it is. if people don't accept *what you have* as payment for *the things you need*, it isn't useful to be hold it. obviously. its got fuck all to do with being able to verify the supply, which 99.999% of people never actually do anyway. people trust the money. because they have reasonable assurances from other people they trust. and whatever they trust is accepted for food and shelter and things they want. nobody uses stocks, Manhattan real estate or gold as a MOE, despite them being popular SOVs. the "deferred consumption" of these assets didn't make them money. and nobody except for a few zealots are going to use Bitcoin as a MOE either. the alleged progression from SOV -> MOE -> UOA is a maxi fairytale.

What makes you think a commodity has to be SOV before it can be MOE? Besides just general Saifedean-inspired "I read the Bitcoin Standard this one time..."

there aren't any nonprivate strong networks. interactacting privately is a fundamenta aspect of strength and resilience in a network.
