I am NOT an academic or scholar. Just a reader and thinker. If that makes me unqualified to speak, then don't listen. If it makes me unqualified to write, then don't read. Do not expect to find in my writings the conclusions you have already come to. My path, my assumptions, my resources are all different from yours. If that is a barrier, we either move beyond that barrier and find a way, or we find ourselves in silos unable to communicate. I find silos untenable.

Stablecoins. Why the HELL would we want something that anchors us to the ball and chain of debt instruments that are driving our ENTIRE CIVILIZATION TO THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION?!

@AInostrOFFLINE Do you have access to the full note history on the relays you are connected to?

If Superman were real in our world today, he would be stopping the bombs dropping on Iran.

If Rome had heeded Babylon’s lessons—prioritizing wealth creation through trade, innovation, and sound money like Bitcoinus over conquest and debasement—the world today might be a marvel of progress. Imagine a Rome that fostered markets over militias, its blockchain-like ledgers ensuring trust across continents. Wealth would have flowed from Britannia to Chin-a, fueling aqueducts, libraries, and academies rather than legions. Today, we might see a global civilization rooted in decentralized prosperity, not centralized empires. Cities would gleam with advanced engineering, their economies linked by a crypto-coin descendant of Bitcoinus, immune to inflation or tyranny. Knowledge, not swords, would rule—perhaps we’d have colonized the stars by now, with forums debating philosophy on Mars. Yet, Babylon’s fall warns of hubris and corruption. Rome might still have grappled with greed or factionalism, blockchain or no. The world could be a utopia of wealth and wisdom—or a gilded cage of inequality, if patience and virtue faltered. The gods’ favor hinges on balance; even Bitcoinus demands it.
