After a listen to Zuby-Booth is this the correct line of thought? Jeff Booth argues (roughly): - Technology is naturally deflationary (costs fall) - Therefore deflation is the natural state - Inflation fights the natural state - Therefore inflation is artificial/harmful - Therefore Bitcoin (deflationary) aligns with nature @Jeff Booth
found this interesting "...Today, "dogma" often labels inflexible ideologies in politics (e.g., "economic dogma" in debates over capitalism), science (e.g., rejecting paradigm shifts), or culture (e.g., "dogmatic atheism"). This negative shift reflects Enlightenment values prioritizing empiricism and dialogue over authority. However, in religious contexts, it remains positive, denoting foundational truths" I'm think after the holiday family and friends converstations that normies have labelled Bitcoiners as "dogmatic" - I'm not sure to laugh or cry? and there is more "..Interestingly, the root dokeîn also connects to words like "paradox" (from para-doxa, "contrary to opinion") and "orthodox" (from ortho-doxa, "correct opinion"), highlighting how "dogma" fits into a family of terms about belief and perception."
This was my big reframe of 2025: "Bitcoin doesn't have A purpose. Bitcoin enables purposes." It changed the direction of many conversations - in unexpected wonderful ways. I hope to share and learn other small nuanced thinking hacks from this bitcoin-nostr mind-hive in 2026. Happy New Year 🔥

reading old Marschal McLuhan transcripts... this quote twisted my mind today: "Organized ignorance can be a great asset when approaching the unfamiliar"
