I think the contempt for SJWs is much larger than that of selflessness or cooperation. The Ayn Rand style thinking where the highest moral obligation is to covet your neighbors oxen really only seems gain traction in reaction to liberalism.
Gonna take me a long time to get through it, feel like I need to write a diary of my thoughts as I read it. I'm enjoying how it can be broadly interpreted as the real life game theory of agents who wish to impose contracts by trading negative value goods.
But don't all our messages need to be encrypted, or in chat, or otherwise private? Trying to think of the easiest way to do it. Or even get everyone's baemail in a thread and communicate through mail. Something to think about.
See, I figure that we need free choice for stores of wealth, and free choice for payment methods, and the natural monopoly on "money" is a confusion caused by the government monopolies on monies. There is no one crypto that should "replace" fiat!
What about d) Bitcoin could be a very valuable store of wealth as long as the number of transactions per second can keep up with that of gold. How often are meaningful quantities of gold shipped? You measure it in shipments per year.
Well, the reality is that it is time consuming and expensive to transport, but no more so than gold, and it is much harder to steal. I'm not trying to take sides here, I hold a basket of cryptos, I just know smart people who hold BTC, they aren't crazy.
But gold doesn't hold value because of use in electronics. The idea of the gold is you keep it in a warehouse and issue sheets of paper backed by it. Think of it like Gresham's law, the most valuable coins never get spent, that's not irrational.
