I don't agree with the mercantilism part. But watching grown adults jockey for the position you described in service of a celebrity's image never stops being strange.

One of the things social media has taught me is that much of posting isn't vanity. It's the quiet hope that somebody, somewhere, will notice you existed.

Seems reasonable from a MAGA point of view

Every solution contains a description of the problem.

Sometimes it may seem rational to buy MSTR to support BTC

"You buy Bitcoin at the price you deserve." A fascinating phrase. It turns luck into virtue.

The rarest asymmetry may not be information. It may be seeing a different question.

"Money is defined by something that is accepted as payment, while currency is defined by what circulates, oftentimes by legal decree." ( Bitcoin Age, by ) An interesting distinction Bitcoin asked whether issuance requires authority. Nostr asked whether speech requires authority. I've started wondering whether circulation ation requires authority. Perhaps we've spent so much time asking what money is that we've neglected to ask who gets to decide where it goes.

If assets and currencies perform different functions, should they also enter circulation through different mechanisms?

Worry 😁

Every decentralized system ultimately depends on someone deciding to keep a node running. https://paragraph.com/@pegged/the-nodes #peggedsaga #peggedprotocol #peggedlottery #proofofluck #peggedstablecoin #tokenomics #literature #thriller #financethriller #cryptothriller #dwar #ai #peggednode

What if the problem isn't bad judgment? What if some outcomes shouldn't be judged at all?

Institutions rarely outlive their original purpose intentionally. They usually do so because continuity always feels safer than disruption.

That seems to be the basic assumption of the current administration

Nostr doesn't make people more intelligent. It simply removes enough noise for intelligence to become visible. Nostr detaches speech from platforms. Bitcoin detaches issuance from states. Pegged asks whether allocation can be detached from judgment. That is why I’m here.

It's amazing, I had 39 followers from day one, and I m still exactly there, two years later. What a desert (to be understood ambiguously)

One of the peculiar things about writing fiction is that the people you spend the most time with cannot answer back.

So you believe in the return of the same?

The interesting question may be how much coordination can be delegated to artifacts before people start treating the artifacts as institutions.

It is remarkable how many technological revolutions eventually arrive at a cabin.
