It really just occurred to me that people will need another unit of account once the USD inflates too. I know this is a basic argument/point among Bitcoiners but it really just occured to me how fundamental Bitcoin will be. It'll be the new unit of account. Nobody will ever use gold as a unit of account. Because, culturally, people need a unit of account.

"A society is humane only if it allows people to stop performing without losing dignity." A humane society should allow for status exit. Renunciation must be possible if a society is to remain psychologically survivable over the long term. All material only societies die off.

The solution will always be local first. People around us are fundamental. There's always a bridge we can create with someone, isn't there?

Life is going to be voluntaryist and modular in the future. We're going to work meaningful jobs and projects without strict schedules. People will love and respect one another and want to spend time with each other.

Just an idea: The AI bubble will burst and risk capital flow into Bitcoin, around Q3/Q4 2026. This is about 10T in capital (not all of it will move of course). They'll learn about AI and Bitcoin throughout early 2026. They'll understand that there can't be a single winner with technology and finally need to understand scarcity and money. Everybody will need to understand the best money. There is no alternative. Sure, the Chinese will come up with gold backed money. But what's this for, which individual will hold this on the long term? Especially not US risk capital. #bitcoin

It’s all going to be better. Everything, eventually

When all cars have AI, driving will be much safer. Just a random thought.

The best move the US can make against the EU bureaucrats is to simply monetize Bitcoin. That destroys the EU in 10 years, tops. Bardella (Le Pen in France, etc) is going to ask the ECB to buy French bonds. If they say yes, Euro will further devalue, accelerating Bitcoinization, if they say no, it will push France for Bitcoinization while perhaps pursuing reform, a MAGA Doge like government basically. The US accelerating Bitcoinization like their doing now is the greatest pressure the EU could ever have. These people are finished. And then it's back to the real game of national economics. Portugal for example immediately goes into Argentina mode. :D #europe #bitcoin #politics

Holy crap, our social networks might be the only thing that we truly have in the end. #nostr

One of the things I've been realizing recently is that Bitcoin's divisibility (in L2 networks like Lightning, etc) will make it incredibly useful for global financial systems. I have to admit for a moment there I was a bit skeptical that there would be incentives for redistribution, i.e not hoarding. In other words, if Bitcoin is consistently growing in value in relation to fiat, what's the incentive for me to invest? And then I realized it's all about scale. Investments with Bitcoin (L2) can become very very small, global, widespread and decentralized. And there's a lot of value in that, not counting of course of all the more cooperative tokenized models for services, memberships, that could be created. Now, this will also require some legal change as we know, especially when it comes to securities law, etc. Which is already happening in the US. Basically the US will syphon capital so quick that other countries will be forced to adapt, and that will force a global SEC like deregulation everywhere in the world. Which will further accelerate the tokenization of everything, and create more investment opportunities for everyone. With tokenization we're basically gonna see S&P500 for millions and millions of companies basically. It's very exciting actually. #bitcoin #economics

Hey everyone, what would you say are the best apps/services/technology for marketplaces on Nostr currently? Stuff like finding specific people or services, people offering services, etc. Like regular classifieds like Craigslist but on Nostr, do we have anything like this today? #bitcoin #asknostr

Have you guys ever thought about this? In a Hyperbitcoinized the need for credit might become highly diminished or perhaps even obsolete. Redistribution—whether through a State-issued UBI or through equity investments from some kind of global private fund (like a tokenized S&P500 of every company in the world)—could take place in extremely small, frictionless units. Technically, it becomes completely feasible to live in a fully Bitcoinized economy precisely because Bitcoin is divisible down to infinitesimal scales. Imagine for example an extremely small investment (microsats) in exchange for ownership shares of something, a project, company, etc, driven by some sort of AI system (to make it decision cheap and thus globally scalable). Why not? If it fails, it's irrelevant, if it wins, it's pretty cool, you make some money and contribute to something cool that you like, redistributing wealth and ownership by many millions of people. It really changes one's perspective. In such a world you can actually get funded efficiently, and thus the idea of everybody hoarding simply doesn't become true. It'll definitely circulates, because why not, it's basically free for you (or someone) to do so. In other words, a hyperbitcoinized world could realistically lead to the abolition of credit and thus it can realistically be possible. It is basically inflation turned upside down—a form of infinite deflation. Every decade, you could simply add a few more decimal places to Bitcoin’s divisibility. Something along those lines. It's mind bogging to think about the Hyperbitcoinized world. #bitcoin #economics #thoughts
