[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

I believe that there are five big, interrelated influences that are driving the changing world order and that they tend to evolve in big cycles. They are:

1. How well the debt/money/economic system works,
2. How well the internal order (system) works within countries to influence how well people within them work together,
3. How well the world order (system) works to influence how well countries work with one another,
4. The force of nature, and
5. How well humankind invents new and better approaches and technologies.

If you’re interested, I just shared a post looking at all five of them and their prospects for 2024, a year that will likely stand out because all these forces are approaching or are at the brink of seismic shifts. I look forward to your thoughts in the replies https://t.co/CuxbpIuSEf

@strictlyBTC We need different names for:
(1) those that cheer on exactly those things that also happen to help with number go up (hodling, big institutions buying).
(2) those that cheer on developments that make bitcoin have a positive impact on the world (spending, adoption by unbanked).

Academics: anytime you hear a bitcoiner say 'fiat', you can think 'capitalism' w/o much loss.

Example 1: "the fiat system is rigged."
Translation: "capitalism is unjust."

Example 2: "this food is crap. very fiat."
Translation: "late stage capitalism creates monoculture foods"

@tommy50107317 I think you're confused about what "intrinsic" means. Nothing in the nature of bitcoin calls for any specific political allegiance.

If it were part of different political agendas, it would be so in different ways, but that's ok, because bitcoin can be used in all sorts of ways.

[Martin.Adriaan @MartinAdriaan]

@tommy50107317 This not just bs, which would be ok, it seems a widespread bs view that actively harms btc adoption.

It's not intrinsically political in any way, and only the future will tell how it will be used, how it will be integrated in society and in what sorts of societies.

@DamelonBCWS Het beste. Ik kan je tweets altijd erg waarderen, en kan me er vaak in vinden, inclusief deze tweet.

@progressivebtcr I'd say, can't spend the same portion of bitcoin twice, where portions are individuated by addresses.

@EdanYago How deep is the difference between calling for ppl cancelling someone and calling for the regulation/banning of something?

People see something they want to have less power/influence, and call for the relevant environment to be harder on it/them, so it/they thrive less.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The problem is not simply that capitalism produces too much, but that it produces the wrong stuff: SUVs, fast fashion and planned obsolescence instead of public transit, affordable housing and universal healthcare. It overuses resources and still fails to meet even basic needs.

One of the biggest mistruths consistently being told in DeFi is that your funds are in “self-custody” while they are sitting in a smart contract that can be modified by a DAO.

This is a lie.

Your funds are in the DAO’s custody.

And the DAO is being run by 1-5 whales.
