Extremely well made, beautiful graphics, good music, gripping storyline, and many references to old Japanese Edo traditions. Each episode has a different vibe and slightly different music track. Watched the last episode last night. It’s worth watching each episode twice to squeeze out the juice from the aesthetics. View quoted note →

@gladstein gave 2 energetic talks this week, - one about human rights, - the other one about the positive impact of bitcoin mining on the Big South. Waiting for both talks to come out on the channel.

Inception. The idea that a county’s central bank can hold bitcoin in its reserves alongside gold and can use these reserves as a tool to repay debt is now in politicians’ minds.

“If a saver had any hope of keeping up with inflation, it became necessary to deposit money in banks and collect interest. Bank deposits underperformed inflation from 1913 to the present, but at least underperformed less than holding physical banknotes that paid no interest. Therefore, this structurally inflationary system enhanced the power of banks by making them more necessary for everyone to deposit the bulk of their savings with. It also increased the power of the government to surveil account balances and transactions, collect taxes, and freeze funds on demand, since most of the money was in the banks rather than in the form of physical and private bearer assets. Put simply, an inflationary money necessitates the use of counterparties and leverage to try to keep up with inflation by earning interest, which is not the case with a hard money.” Lyn Alden, Broken Money
