“Broken Money” is great for what it is: macro. I’m not taking shots at @Lyn Alden I just recognize what macro is in relation to the whole. It’s like analyzing the paint on a car. And it just isn’t that important when we need to focus on the driver, the engine, and where the car is going. If we want to win, if we want normal people to get what is happening to them, and what they can do about it, we have to sacrifice the macro for the moral. Ethics before Economics. Courage before Comfort. We are framing a house, put down the pliers, pick up the nail gun.
1) If bitcoin is going to hit zero, then all people in the world would have to fail to recognize what bitcoin is. 2) Some people do recognize what bitcoin is. 3) Therefore, modus tollens, Bitcoin is not going to hit zero.
If someone hits you with a hammer, is the hammer broken? @nat brunell @preston @Lyn Alden Unfortunately the money isn’t broken. @Michael Jordan and I had a great discussion explaining why the “broken” rhetoric costs us the most effective rhetorical tool at our disposal: the truth. I may be new to the fight, but I’m not wrong here. We can up our game. Please, I implore you to hear the argument out and chew on the principles.
To the Fed and US politicians: I can’t empathize with how it feels trying to override reality by decree because I’m not retarded. I can’t sympathize with how it feels trying to override reality by decree because I’m not evil.
Just create value in the world, work and build, put that value in bitcoin, and continue to crush life. How much bitcoin you have isn’t as important to the % of how much of a bitcoin standard you have moved your life to.
This is a great podcast.
