I don't think the answer to our problems is decentralization. I think the answer is free markets. And in order to have free markets we must have free market money.
This is why I think #Bitcoin is currently the most important thing in the world. #Bitcoin is free market money which facilitates voluntary exchange absent state manipulation and theft. #Bitcoin is the best private property we have.
Free markets are one of the greatest innovations humanity has ever developed and to the degree to which we have free markets is the degree to which we thrive. In the words of Ludwig von Mises:
"If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization"
We currently champion decentralization because in many ways it is the only way to compete due to current government overreach and free market underreach. But as #Bitcoin re-balances the equation I think we will be able to enjoy the fruits of competition between centralized businesses without the need to shoehorn every solution into a decentralized package that is inferior to non-decentralized free market solution.
The true decentralization is competition in a free market.

#Bitcoin: money
#Nostr: speech
#Carnivore: health
The #Nostr/#Sat marriage is a stroke of genius
Calling #Nostr decentralized X is like calling #Bitcoin digital gold. It's true, but it's also so much more we've yet to discover or even imagine.
#Nostr had me at:
** doesn't refresh feed when opening app **
#Nostr feels like early #Bitcoin. So much value and opportunity on the horizon.
Fiat printer brrr: #Bitcoin pumps
Fiat state ban: #Nostr pumps

#Nostr is a prime example of #Bitcoin upgrading the world.
In the next 18 months:

- The poor will stay poor
#Bitcoin fixes fiat central bank takeovers of wealthy nations.
