The Fall of Rome Holds Lessons for Modern Money 💵
1/ Ancient Rome shows how centralized control of economies is doomed to fail.
Despite imposing price controls and legal tender laws, the emperors could not stop rampant inflation and economic instability. 🏛️
Two Bulgarian friends killed the entire streaming industry.
It's called Stremio + Torrentio. You get 4K content from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max combined for free.
Here's how it works.
Stremio is the player. Clean interface. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and TV. You install it once and it looks like any other streaming app.
Torrentio is the addon. You add it to Stremio in one click. It scrapes content from every major torrent provider on the internet simultaneously and delivers the best available stream directly to your player. 720p, 1080p, 4K. You pick the quality. It finds the link.
→ No account required
→ No subscription
→ Works on every device
→ 4K and HDR supported
→ Subtitles built in
Netflix cannot shut this down. There is no central server to seize. No company to pressure. No domain to kill. It runs on your device and pulls from the open internet.
The entire streaming industry is built on one assumption. That you will keep paying $70/month rather than spend 5 minutes on GitHub.
That assumption just died in Sofia, Bulgaria.

@JacobKinge@saylordocs Just because you offer that price for your dirty socks doesn’t mean you will actually sell them for that price…most likely you will have to pay someone to take them from you.
Currently 1 BTC is around $90,000.
See the difference?
@hqbinders@implausibleblog Why is the answer always on the lines of “but, but…look how bad the other party is/was”.
I get it. It’s the easy thing to do instead of demanding those in charge right NOW to do better.
@zerohedge True.
That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.
