Just dropped Parts 1 & 2 of my deep-dive into #Softwar by #JasonLowery — the 400-page MIT thesis the U.S. DoD reportedly pulled for national security reasons. This is the start of a 5-part series unpacking bitcoin from a new lens guaranteed to blow your mind! 🤯🧵👇 https://medium.com/@penglunds/softwar-by-jason-lowery-hard-forking-human-civilisation-part-1-5-eb4cf79240fe #Bitcoin #Nostr #growstr #proofofwork #planetarycomputer #btc #thesis #lowery #bitpower #abstractpower #physicalpower

The perverse reality is that the hidden tax of monetary debasement fosters the greatest dependency of the people on the government, not when it succeeds, but precisely when it fails to serve them. #nostr #inflation #bitcoin #btc #grownostr #growstr

”The question you have to ask yourself at the end of all this is: Are these values — this incorruptible system that offers a paradigm shift by inherently incentivising sustainability — worth protecting? If you care at all about the environment, the answer isn’t just a modest “yes” — it should also include an acknowledgment that nothing has probably been more worthy of protection than this, which means no use of energy has ever been more justified.” https://medium.com/@penglunds/if-you-care-at-all-about-the-environment-you-must-support-bitcoin-01eaf08233c6 #environment #bitcoin #mining #bitcoinmining #climatechange #nostr #sustainability #nature #virungapark

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak Just watched the pod with Michael. As far as I’m concerned, you are on the same page about borrowing, but Michael doesn’t seem to get your point. If I’m not mistaken, you’re just pointing out that it’s realistic that nominal interest rates will go to 0% under BTC, but that doesn't mean the real interest rate will be zero. Because BTC is deflationary, the real interest rate under 0% nominal rate will be whatever the deflation rate is. So let's say it's 3%, that means the borrowers will earn 3% a year by borrowing their money for 0% nominal interest rate. Wasn’t that the point you were trying to make?

“We have a situation today where we’re all running around like headless chickens trying to inject sustainability back into the system, while every economist from the South to the North Pole with an actual say cheers for us to burn through every last resource, as if that somehow was the secret to achieving it. It’s an absurdity so profound, it completely lacks comparison.” #soundmoney #bitcoin #nostr #grownostr #inflation #deflation #gold #fiat #fiatsystem https://medium.com/@penglunds/from-harmony-to-greed-humanitys-fall-and-potential-return-to-sustainability-ccb8edb16ce1

”The end result is that, instead of us shaping the algorithms, the feedback loop becomes corrupted, and we, in turn, are shaped by them.
