Great argumentation! However, I think it is worth highlightning that we cannot ignore risk assessment when making judgements of the hoarder's time preference. This is because we take actions based not on offered interest rate, but the EXPECTED rate. For example, if somebody approaches me with an offer of 15% ROI on my Bitcoin, my expected rate is -100% (I assume they're a scammer), so refraining from lending in this case does not demonstrate a high time preference. Therefore, in the current state of the market (with no strong lender protections), we cannot easily evaluate the time preference of bitcoin holders/hoarders.

Mark Qvist, the guy responsible for creating Reticulum, is nothing short of brilliant. Just read this thing and try to tell me otherwise:

Oh, how beautifully it is growing! @BTC Map could you help us with marking all those events on the map (85 cities worldwide!)? I would tag them myself, but adding events requires some arcane knowledge that I do not possess. 🙃 View quoted note →

Is anyone able to onboard the Reticulum bois to nostr, so that we can get some discussion around this topic? Or are they already here and I'm just not aware? View article →

The pain is real.

A must-watch video summarizing the work of Michael Levin: Highlights: - Intelligence can be found on much lower levels of organization than what we typically believe. - We can use tools from cognitive science and psychology to interact with tissues and even individual cells. For example, even relatively simple chemical networks can exhibit pavlovian conditioning. - Single-cell organisms with 100% human DNA. - Regrowing limbs. - Conscious exploration of the morphospace (the space of possible body-forms). - Platonic space might be real after all.
