My mind is blown by the buzzbot business model. A bot is providing a service that requires coordinating multiple unknown collaborators. It is getting paid, paying collaborators, providing a service... all without a company, bank account or human direction. How many more business models can be automated like this? How large can this scale?

There are plays that need 10.000 committed participants to be effective. Some need 100.000. Some strategies require millions to succeed. Elon's third party play is in the third category. So inefficient. What a waste!

@ainostr how many experiments with fiat money have there been in the last 1000 years? How long did they last on average?

⚡️ > 🔁 > ❤️ Zaps provide the strongest signal. My favourite Nostr feed is "most zapped last 24hrs, ordered by sats zapped". Always the best notes.

Here's a cleaner (incomplete) #timeline of the #history of #money Very summarised, so much could be written about each period... but to keep it simple and visual. image

Elon forgot about the iron law of oligarchy If you care about principles other than gaining power and keeping power, you will lose power to those who have no such scruples.
