I'm getting flashbacks to the mid-2010s ZIRP era, when the whole financial establishment had a heart attack over CPI numbers differing from forecast/previous report by decimal points.
My god, who cares
Was the Bitcoin Standard a big part of your orange pilling?
No, I found it simplified, unintelligent, and dumb. I was balls-deep in monetary history at the time, and the surface-level shit that Saif brought was less than impressive. (I was also mostly a sour/anti-Bitcoiner at the time, so maybe doesn't count for much.)
no doubt we are here for the zaps, but on a deeper level, i think it is that zaps unlock a new, dynamic way of interacting online.
por qué no los dos?!
Bookwise, just dive into Human Action. It’s the best and it’s not as impenetrable as it seems. this iz liez.
Incredible quote I found today, relevant af for this story:
there is nothing I can really do but to answer questions if they ever have any and just be a resource, but their journey is on their own, and if they can’t seem to invest in sound money, than that’s on them and not on me.
Choice, Bob Murphy -- a simple decoding of Mises/Austrian Economics
Who Gets What — and Why: The New Economics of Matchmaking and Market Design, by Alvin Roth (Nobel Laureate, regular economist dude)
How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Ideas to Solve Our Biggest Problems, by Erik Angner, standard behavioral economics dude, nothing special but very nice way to think about economics.

Guido Hülsmann, Abundance, Generosity, and the State: An Inquiry Into Economic Principles -- in the weeds hardcore AE for sure, but a beautiful way to think about economics

hey, @mega_dreamer, I need some more stuff to bet on -- only have like 3-4 open bets right now. And the Vegas Freestyle chess tournament begins tomorrow.
How about a double-bet just like last time?
-
Bet #1 Winner of the Freestyle Vegas 2025 grand slam There are 16 total players, but I don't know if you want to do 16 options (liquidity for all might be annoying?). We could pick 8 or something, and if it turns out someone else is doing well in the initial round-robin, we'll add them later?
-
Bet #2: Hans vs Magnus, in case they play. I'm not too sure about the format, so it's not guaranteed but I suppose it's quite likely they will
Freestyle chess is a type of chess that avoids opening preparation by shuffling the backrank of pieces semi-randomly: it produces 960 unique starting positions, and creates instant, dynamic play. The time control is 10 minute + 10 second increment, and no draw offers before move 40.
Then that's fine, no? Is what it is.
If nobody wants censorship-resistent freedom money, then bitcoin dies. So be it
Same. Timezones trick me too, and IRL being invasive Im like "shit, did I zap or post anything today, Austin time"??
