Has anyone read this? Is it just a shitcoin thing or there's a vision behind it?
The Network State
Technology has enabled us to start new companies, new communities, and new currencies. But can we use it to start new cities, or even new countries...

As some of you may know, there was a war couple of days earlier. First I had to run out of the town, and then move cuz my house was technically in a war zone. let alone the internet blackout. There's a lot I wanted to talk about, but for now, let's just say MASSES ARE ASSES. image
What about building Substack on top of #Nostr? And like, use zaps for subscriptions? Imagine encrypting posts on relays and then only subscribers can decrypt them with their signatures. I think it's possible cryptographically. Has there been any effort? #asknostr

I think it's fair to say that I just watched the most brilliant YouTube video! Curtis Yarvin and Robin Hanson (with David Friedman there too) discuss two of the sharpest ideas about how a government should be run.

The only viable #libertarian revolution will be a bottom-up, market-driven one. one that's driven by individuals economic incentives. The beauty is that States recognize the coming catastrophe and kneel to #bitcoin for their survival! View quoted note β†’ View quoted note β†’ #grownostr
States are driven by incentives like any entity. their primary incentives are CRIME and SURVIVAL. Without a survival threat, they commit crime as deep as they can. Only deep catastrophe triggers economic reforms (seen globally in 20th/21st century market reforms). After all, why grant freedom when things are "passing"? Reforms aren't about liberty, but the political class's recognition of crisis and act of survival. #grownostrΒ #libertariansim
The core flaw of #libertarianism isn't its vision, but how it tries to get there. A "top-down" political strategy–voting–is ill-suited. Libertarianism truly hinges on self-regulation, NOT MERELY LESS GOVERNMENT. Without mature private entities to step in, non-interventionism in foreign policy in a world that Putin and Bin Laden live is not an ideal. That's why a libertarian shouldn't engage in favor of any politician. #grownostr
