Why is it that advocates of joy always sound sad, and joyous people tend to sound stupid?

I was asked: "what inspired the Pegged story?" I replied: "The idea that fairness is not only about money's creation, but also its random distribution outside of labour and commerce." #peggedsaga #readercircle #dwar

"Hey so this is really nice. Well-written, cool idea ... Only read the first 5 pages, but I like it and am drawn in. Very interested to see critical examination of Bitcoin instead of outright reverence." This is a first reaction of one of Pegged's beta readers. If interested, let me know and I will be very happy to send you a draft of act 1. #betareading #proofreading #editing #writing #reading #thriller #peggedsaga

Excellent piece, as always. There seems to live some kind of impatient entitlement not to suffer. The notion of fate is completely obscured by the question: why is nobody managing my specific mode of pain? The latest illusion is that AI might take care of that ...

If Bitcoin’s oath binds through verification, Pegged’s draw frees through falsification. No miner’s proof—only the system’s refusal to be gamed. Fairness as structural indifference. That’s the experiment described in the Pegged White Paper: a currency that stabilizes itself through luck, not labour.

PoW makes truth verifiable. PoL (Proof of Luck) asks what happens when truth becomes unfalsifiable—when fairness comes from indifference, not effort. If PoW is the oath, PoL is the draw. (Erik, would love your eyes on the Pegged White Paper sometime.)

Excellent essay. However, the real innovation is blockchain of which bitcoin was the first instantiation. The fundamental shift this technology provides is the irrevocability of contracts. This is the "moral" and social innovation of blockchains: the introduction of objective constraints in human action.
