The simple theory of universal institutional collapse in a society built around assumptions of growth.


So much so that I want to reciprocate: BTC is one of the most important developments of our lives. I read Allen’s piece. I’d like to engage your community as I take you all very seriously. But I don’t think I am who you see me as being.  
Picture a skyline of Transamerica Buildings and think of all our institutions as pyramids of some kind w/ different slopes.


The important thing is that BTC is a hedge against the manipulation of the world by central banking, economists and corrupt institutions. If you can accept that it is not my religion I can accept that it is without peer among recent inventions: markets ARE the alternative to war.

Markets are the alternative to tyranny and central control. And having a digital gold is essential. I am not trying to save BTC. I am not trying to introduce a new alternative coin. I am worrying about tyranny and the blockchain as ledger. I am worried about what is to come.


Let us imagine that Governments wake up. That they realize that the way to control what that cannot control is violence. In such a situation, I don’t want a record of all transfers. Even an anonymous record. That’s what I am on about. Perhaps that is misguided. If so: explain.

|content=I highly encourage people to read this rather aggressive piece.


But telling me that Juan Maldacena is a genius for writing about gauge theory and markets and that I am a mere entertainer who needs to know is place is absurd. Funny actually.
Q: Is this a *highly* respected member of the Bitcoin community? Is this a person who has the universal intellectual trust of the most extreme Bitcoiners?


Tell me bitcoiners: where do you think the great Juan Maldacena got this genius idea? Think about it..
It would require work to respond, so it matters. Thank you.

I’ve been on your side...w gauge theory...since well before BTC. Early 1990s. The goal is to disintermediate the institutional players to liberate markets to avoid tyranny. So running me down using bullshit to score points is anti-Bitcoin in spirit. Makes us all look weak & dumb.


Anyway, I would love to learn from your community as well as to share what I know. And I am not looking to introduce a “shitcoin”.

But a request: let’s cut the bs displays? It’s corroding us all and we now have a common threat in central banking & rigged markets to defeat. 🙏

|content=What was funny about Allen’s medium piece was that he didn’t catch that he the bitcoiner was being the credentialist. Allen was happily quoting our own original ideas back to us..but via Juan Maldacena. A legacy of credentialism and a failure of “Proof of work”. Hilarious really.

Figuring out how we hedge against central bankers printing and devaluing fiat currency remains our upcoming rendezvous with the market.

But we must beware the printing press and calls for relief, easing and stimulus are cries for transfer & dilution.

This is not investment advice. But it is a belief that central bankers through their disguised actions are a threat to all those who hold cash and its close equivalents. Look into BTC, XAU, CHF, XAG,  etc etc etc and make up your own mind. There are risks to all. Good luck.

P.S. I have no time frame to give you on central banking actions. I just see a group of people who get into trouble and reach for the same tool. Over and over. And there will always be such trouble until we confront and address the underlying crisis in growth and innovation.

Think of CPI as a gauge like a thermometer. You can’t have politically motivated folks making your thermometers or they can change the design to cover up climate change. Likewise you can’t have economists changing the gauge to disguise the effect of printing.
[I believe the rate has declined since 2015, but is still sky high.]

The economists can’t yet compute a dynamic Cost-Of-Living-Adjustment or COLA or “Chained Changing Preference Ordinal Welfare Konus Index” to be perfectly pedantic. Not because it doesn’t exist. But because they don’t have the math and don’t want to lose their finger on the scale.


We must take CPI away from those who wish to back out a political agenda of printing money, raising our taxes by indexed tax brackets and slashing our indexed social security & Medicare.

|content=Any soul who truly “identifies as an eagle” would be instantly eliminated by testing the hypothesis. A person who believed that 2+2=5 would be unable to file taxes.
 
“Get woke, go broke” is nowhere near extreme enough. Truly believing in Wokeness would get you jailed…or killed.

|content=Further, this is why “inclusion” is at its core as a strategy. Because the remedy for Wokeness wasting the energy of the developed world by boring us to death is to *exclude* it, not on the basis of it being wrong, but because the saboteur must always be excluded from civic life.

The issue of how to implement a theory in practice leases to different data being collected and different aggregations. For a different theory, you would collect different data.

|content=Lastly when we trade with nations that have a different currency from ours, how can we measure inflation of both separate currencies relative to two baskets (imports &amp; exports) without artificially assuming the law of one price?
We *must* innovate here:

|content=My friend Robert @Breedlove22 asked me to sit down with him for a series of talks to discuss #Bitcoin and the nature of money, markets and their potential for manipulation by central bankers/politicized statistical bureaus.
Our first installment is here:

|content=On a group chat with top libertarians. Pro-Vaccine. Pro-contact tracing. Pro public health.
What divides us most, it seems, is just how to work with our current failed leadership, amassing power while turning reasonable people against abuse of government’s legitimate functions.

|content=[Note: I try to use short generic words like “top” often when I hit the 280 character limit. It had previously been “thoughtful libertarians”. I do this to avoid 2-3 tweet threads. But when enough nitpickers complain…you get needless multiple tweet threads. Like this. #Yawn. 🤷‍♀️]

|content=@michaelmalice Anarchism/communism/libertarianism/truly-benevolent-dictatorship are all preferable in theory to regular governments in practice.
Let’s agree that reality can’t compete with political fantasy. What divides &amp; animates our group is what theory can be implemented in practice.

|content=@michaelmalice Let’s agree that on the Internet “burn it all the fuck down!” or “no state encroachment on liberty!” or “all tax is theft!” or “Bitcoin fixes that.” Etc. Are all winning arguments.
This isn’t about winning Internet shouting matches. If I wanted to do that, I know how that works.

|content=@michaelmalice Fair enough. I’m not feeling attacked.
I fear though that folks are taking advantage of this extended moment w/ indefensible geriatric leadership to say that essentially all institutions of government are ALWAYS indefensible and that slogans and memes are an ok way to fix this.
