BTC is so different from when it was a bunch of long haired geeks explaining magic internet money.. Now it’s the lowest of the low people raising capital to sell paper bullshit so they can get more BTC for them selves.. I miss the Andries Antonopoleous and 100 people max conferences - fuck WBTC (Justin Sun) and his Boeing Business jet..and scammers selling gold stocks (Peter Schiff or whatever his name is.. few genuine oaks around in my opinion - Bakalava dude @Mandrik - Erik Cason @Erik Cason - @ODELL @Parker Lewis @Marty Bent @jack @jack mallers (dude was mining in nappies) @Danny Knowles destroying the podcast game.. Anyone know where that dude/dudess GUMMO is - oak reckoned at like $30 000 he has $7 billion worth of BTC… ohh and Mr tantrum himself @HODL - legend!! Faucets were literally like lotto tickets - now we have presidents (irrelevant which side u on) buying BTC (well some of them) - OGs cashing 80 000BTC for FIAT - like WTAF… how dumb can you be? Maybe 500-750 and then live the rest of time like a G.. Anyways hopefully the path gets more OG than bullshit.. humans are funny creatures.. #bitcoin #asknostr #hardmoney

Rulers who exploit rules of law can be compelled to stop using physical power, in what’s often called revolution. Participants who can’t be trusted to follow the rules can be compelled to follow them using physical power, in what’s often called enforcement. #bitcoin

Understanding the systemic differences and tradeoffs between war and law helps explain why the application of physical power is so effective at restoring law and order when rules-based societies inevitably become dysfunctional. #bitcoin

The intent of law is noble, but for reasons that are exhaustively explored in this thesis, the inegalitarian and trust-based nature of law-based social structures make them systemically insecure, hence every corrupt or oppressive government to have ever existed. Law-based societies are prone to reaching a hazardous state over time, leading to substantial lossesfor their populations. #bitcoin

Rule of law is a highly energy-efficient cooperation protocol, especially for the purpose of establishing human dominance hierarchies (i.e. pecking order) and achieving consensus on the legitimate state of ownership and chain of custody of limited resources. #bitcoin
