No me sigas, yo también estoy perdido. No tengo opiniones importantes sobre los hechos del momento. Sólo comparto ideas geniales sobre el futuro de #bitcoin

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@Equateall @BitcoinPierre @FT ...things without utilitarian use cases as a store of value: the dollar or any other fiat currency doesn't have any industrial use. It is paper at best and an entry in a spreadsheet at worse. Also a store of value (savings) is not the same as an investment (speculative)

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@Equateall @BitcoinPierre @FT You don't need the price to go up to send value: you buy it today, send it, the other person sells it with little fluctuation as with any foreign currency (that in itself is a use case). Also no store of value is perfect. They fluctuate depending on how much premium people...

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@Equateall @BitcoinPierre @FT ...is willing to pay (monetary premium as a store of value). If silver collapsed to its utilitarian value (somewhere around copper) it would be as catastrophic as tulip bubbles collapsing to the price of a flower (so the utilitarian value is trivial). Also people already use...

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@Equateall @BitcoinPierre @FT The same applies to stocks, houses, art, cars, foreign currency when you buy for "speculative reasons". But there are other uses for them. The thesis is that bitcoin has uses besides speculation (sending value and storing value in ways not possible using fiat money)

@moon33_blue Yo he notado que hay demasiado predominio de ciertas ideologías políticas asociadas a bitcoin. Y esas personas tienden a pensar que si eres bitcoiner debes compartir esas ideas. Creo que hace falta explorar qué otros problemas resuelve bitcoin para gente de otras ideologías

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@Pajaropolitico Bitcoin es una moneda específica. No es un término genérico para "criptomonedas". El término bitcoin sólo aparece en el titular y lo que dan es otro token. Están contribuyendo a desinformar

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@cjasonmaier Sending hugs. Bitcoin being adopted first by libertarians and right leaning people may be a blip in its history. You may be ahead of your time. I read your book. I don't see anything controversial in my opinion. But I also haven't found many people thinking alike

@PeterMcCormack Assume the UK is truly implementing socialism and that this metric is directly a result of their policy. I don't think you can say a priori if this is a win or a fail. Socialism by definition doesn't work with the objective to forter or create elites

[Gritty is the Way @Gritty20202]

Capitalism is when capitalists own the means of production. Socialism is when the workers own the means of production. See the difference?

@DSBatten It's funny how many people say "other bitcoiners need it". We are so f..ing early in mindfulness LOL

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@DSBatten Let's do it!

@brockm ...then ask Google for the tallest mountain in America, but this time ask in Spanish 🙃

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@brockm Spanish-speaker living in the US here. It appears to cater to language and nationality of observer. Also, are you aware that for most of Latin America and other people in the rest of the world, "America" means the entire continent from Alaska to Patagonia? Ironic, no?

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@brockm Do this experiment: ask Google for the tallest mountain in America...

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@jackinlondon @ArmandDoma I disagree. Take for example the use of the word corruption when talking about shady, but not fully clear practices outside the US. It would normally be assumed to be corruption (correctly or not). The word is used more freely than in this case

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@SenLummis We do know that for a big portion of the world "America" is the name of a continent, right?

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@stackhodler @Cobratate In other words, when people discuss moving away from capitalism the main opposing argument is "but we need this system to foster innovation and entrepreneurship". Isn't it?

[⭕scar Cervantes @oscarcer]

@stackhodler @Cobratate You say innovation and entrepreneurship will happen in an environment with reduced profit incentives because it is a human impulse ("capitalism won't stop"). But sounds like you just argued that we can move away from capitalism (I e. Means of production being private)

I ask you to be vigilant against the temptation to cultivate a warlike spirit. Be vigilant lest you be poisoned by propaganda that instils hatred, divides the world into friends to be defended and foes to be fought.
