Everyone getting slashed in all directions

Will there be wars in a hyperbitcoinized future? Who would fight them and why?

Teamwork is overrated

One day closer to hyperbitcoinization

Humanity as a whole is astronomically more capable than the hunter-gatherers were when it comes to harnessing energy and engineering new technology. We now possess knowledge and computational capabilities in our pockets that were unimaginable just decades ago and would have been deemed godly centuries ago. A lot of this points to the fact that we seem to be on an exponential growth curve in terms of capability and intelligence. At the same time, ironically, we do not seem to be any wiser than the ancient greeks were. We still look to Sokrates, Plato and others for wisdom, and we ask the same big questions about life and the universe - and a lot of them time, the answers (or lack of answers) are still the same, despite our godly knowledge.

AI is to humanity what alcohol is to the individual. They both enhances the charasteristics of the underlying person or country. A calm person tends to become more calm with alcohol, while an aggressive person tends to become even more aggressive. Countries that remain on a fiat standard will get more centralized and more corrupt with the rise of AI, while countries on a bitcoin standard will become more decentralized and corruption-resistant.

”The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” Thucydides 460 B.C. – 395 B.C.

I want an apple to be an apple and I want money to be money. If such thinking makes me a bitcoin puritan - then so be it.

It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but it is a rule rather than an exception that a diverse (and fragmented) base layer protocol leads to less diverse and innovative outcomes than a unified base layer protocol. This is a generally accepted phenomena within the field of complex systems.

AI and robotics will gradually take care of more of our daily routine tasks. Inevitably, this will eventually involve monetary transactions, including the management of some of our wallets and private keys. Just like servants have managed the wealth of royals and nobility of the past, our robots will do so for all humans in the future. This will massively transform how we relate to usage of money. Things like UI of LN apps won’t be as important as it is today - possibly sooner than lots of people realize. Instead - the robot will be the UI we interact with. The wallet is just a protocol that the robots communicate with, and this means that the wallets can instead be designed to maximize security and privacy, even sacrificing some degree of usability.
