Developing the world's highest performance structural aerospace materials (and a couple other things) gave me a unique experience of the fiat world, which made me a bitcoin berserker.
I must see the downfall of fiat so that the world may have a sound economic calculus under which the industrialist can proceed with his work unimpeded. @DeltaClimbs on twitter

Lmao, I knew he had a tenuous grasp, but had no idea it was this bad. Where are all the "it's just a metaphor, bro" guys who would defend the gibberish he likes to spout about energy? ๐๐คก
In response to #[0]'s post on the history of maximalism.
"Balanced" takes like this stem from a failure to appreciate the extent to which fiat damages the world and just how much upside there is to a Bitcoin world.
It is a form of capitulating, and it is very obvious that many bitcoiners are only in it for sovereignty and consumer purchasing power, which are fine and dandy โ I certainly understand there is a hierarchy of needs, but the emergent systems built from freely cooperating individuals is where a sound economic calculus comes into play, and some people recognize the greatness that is coming, and thereby feel an adequate level of visceral repulsion to the degeneracy they are engulfed by.
Can't wait for Nassim to see the (orange) light... gonna be so much better than the cringefluencers in bitcoin today. Bitcoin cheerleaders don't even recognize basic facts about the fiat world like this.
"undemocratic" is always code for *a system in which I can no longer rob people and get by on grift, leaving me unsure as to how I would make a living*
"You can't buy a very large amount of bitcoin as an institution because the price will move."
Actually, the spot price is a lie and tells you nothing about the real price. 500k bitcoin seem more expensive than 5, and they AlwaysHaveBeenDotJPEG.
