@jebus911 This assumes people view crypto as decentralized. Which they don’t, because they purchase it through centralized on ramps which have even less trust than govs

@iam_preethi You missed comprehensiveness. Building a business won’t expose you to as broad a range of business situations as B school, although it will expose you to some in much more depth

@matthew_d_green @iam_preethi There are way too many results about obesity studies in mice for that to be efficient...

@QWQiao Lol this is a terrible take. Employee shareholders with no votes, no profit sharing, no opportunity to exit or change jobs. The analogy is so bad it doesn’t even warrant being called an analogy

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@matthew_d_green @iam_preethi Source?

@hashamadeus @derose Yea determinism has basically been definitively debunked at this point. You can still not believe in free will but relying on a deterministic worldview to do it is just wrong

@APompliano All politics are local

@CryptoSecundus @muellerberndt @koeppelmann @nic_carter @udiWertheimer @SchalkDormehl @ArthurB @NickSzabo4 @Hasu Radical immutability serves no purpose. Bitcoin is a tool made by humans to serve humans. If it stops being useless, we need to be able to change it (and we are - we can always move to an identical copy without e.g. a bug)

“The vast and wonderful knowledge of this marvelous universe is locked in the bosoms of its individual souls”

Amazingly deep insight

@glenweyl @RadxChange This reminds me of Du Bois's essay on excluded wisdom, "Of the Ruling of Men." https://t.co/GxTC636lpQ

@fkhsu888 @andrewchen Lived in NYC my whole life. It’s never been safer. I go to north Central Park at 1am without a care in the world

@robinhanson @ESYudkowsky What about recycling plastic?

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@romeman90 @Dave_Jonez_02 @ZubyMusic Lol you believe this? The data will take time to materialize. It’s like big tobacco refuting health risks in the 50s

Social media is a massive change in information transfer. If it doesn’t have any effect on humans’ self perception nothing does

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@glenweyl I don’t understand this anecdote. Did this actually occur? Did someone offer someone else 10$ to repeat a sentence or is this just hyperbole to make a point?

@tushar_jain Moreover, even if there are other vendors for smart contracts other than fb, it can shift things to the private realm and away from the public

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@tushar_jain But google does own search and Microsoft does own enterprise. Libra may own crypro-“currency”

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@tylerwinklevoss Gold has no counterparty risk. The nature of gold isn’t dependent on social consensus- the value is, but its nature isn’t

Bitcoin does on both counts

Obfuscating these points is dishonest

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@malloc8 Why do you think you were you denied entry?

[Adam @BlockchainHold]

@danheld Same folks making this argument also claim L2 will be the rails for btc in the future

How do these visions of BTC reconcile?
