I enjoy contemplating on Consciousness, life and of course #Bitcoin Excited about the decentralised future. Tag me for a zapp if you are new here at #Nostr
The inherent possibility of humans using violence to steal possessions creates a fundamental incentive towards violence. This scales up to nations, where armies are used to achieve goals through war, leading to the war industry becoming the largest industry. Emergence of Bitcoin in 2009 has started a paradigm shift in human interaction . Since Bitcoin cannot be stolen through violence, it reverses violence based incentive structure to a negitiation based one. To obtain value, negotiation and mutual exchange are required. This new incentive at the root of human interaction will scale us up to a significantly more peaceful civilization.
"Assange may be free, but justice has not been served. Justice would look like Assange being granted a full and unconditional pardon and receiving millions of dollars in compensation from the US government for the torment they put him through by his imprisonment in Belmarsh beginning in 2019, his de facto imprisonment in the Ecuadorian embassy beginning in 2012, and his jailing and house arrest beginning in 2010. Justice would look like the US making concrete legal and policy changes guaranteeing that Washington could never again use its globe-spanning power and influence to destroy the life of a foreign journalist for reporting inconvenient facts about it, and issuing a formal apology to Julian Assange and his family. Justice would look like the arrest and prosecution of the people whose war crimes Assange exposed, and the arrest and prosecution of everyone who helped ruin his life for exposing those crimes. This would include a whole host of government operatives and officials across numerous countries, and multiple US presidents. Justice would look like a hero's welcome and a hero's honors from Australia upon his arrival, and a serious revision of Canberra's obsequious relationship with Washington. Justice would look like formal apologies to Assange and his family from the editorial boards of all the mainstream press outlets which manufactured consent for his vicious persecution โ€” including and especially The Guardian โ€” and the complete destruction of the reputations of every unscrupulous presstitute who helped smear him over the years. If these things happened, then we could perhaps argue that justice has been served to some extent. As it stands all we have is the cessation of one single act of depravity by an empire who's only backing off to make room for newer, more important depravities. We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure which has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality, and then stand back and proudly call this justice." From Catlin Johnstone's X post, since she is not on nostr.
We have been witnessing a major techno-societal breakthrough with Bitcoin. It is similar to the invention of the printing press, which over multiple centuries led to the separation of the state and the church. The printing press revolutionized access to information, decentralizing knowledge and undermining the monopolistic control of the church. Bitcoin is performing a similar function in the realm of finance by separating the state and money. This process is confusing and challenging for many because it is happening extremely fast, driven by technological advancements and global interconnectedness. Unlike the gradual shift that took centuries with the printing press, the separation of state and money through Bitcoin will be complete in a few decades, fundamentally transforming our economic and political landscape in an unprecedentedly short period.
Please share your thoughts and/or the post. Hello plebs! I'd like to hear some perspectives from people I know that they care about #Bitcoin. I do not like ordinals at all. I think they are stupid. People who push them give ne cringe. I also believe in free market so in my current understanding, I feel like even stupid jpegs have right to compete in the free market for the block space. I think this topic is an important topic to have an open converesation about. ๐Ÿ™
