@saifedean @RichardHeartWin @milpoppe Interesting take. Are you suggesting that pre-1990s Switzerland was a place where (almost?) everyone produced value or that appropriate monetary policy made this requirement moot (insofar as those producing value are appropriately compensated thus a superior performing economy?)

@crypto_bobby It's the Wutang follow approach. 36 chambers...

@Joha_wa_alHimar @AwesomelyH @TheStoicEmperor Harmed as in damages (economic or otherwise). I actually suggested removing personal identity from the equation. Sometimes that helps. In this case it did not. As a previous reply caught onto, there is a misunderstanding of meaning here.

[Ben @bennyrickert]

@AwesomelyH @TheStoicEmperor Take a step back for a moment and imagine this is not an attack on your own identity. Now imagine the people we are talking about have been harmed in some way. This alone makes it valid notwithstanding the original tweet's assertion to the contrary.

@TheStoicEmperor Except art and culture isn't open source code. Stealing and profiting off it isn't the same thing as appreciation. Seems many people are confused by this? I imagine those claiming cultural appropriation are more concerned with the former not the latter.

@naval So much of being a lawyer is cut/paste anyway. Not something those still practicing would likely ever admit to!

@PrestonPysh @TuurDemeester @Excellion @adam3us @NickSzabo4 @pierre_rochard @jimmysong @MartyBent @ttmygh I think they missed the part where wide spread adoption actually creates the stability they themselves can't seem to get right

[Ben @bennyrickert]

@Excellion We should cut him some slack. He clearly is coming off an injury and is likely medicated

@coindesk How would you even enforce this is what I'm wondering? If say bitcoin encroached on one of these who do they go after? Genuinely curious...
