What's a price stability mechanism?

Ya interesting point....why do you need bitcoin for finding truth between two needs especially with increased interconnectedness...ai agents able to conduct unlimited swaps to find the agreed upon price. .. 🤔

central banks have one where they control the amount of money in circulation through interest rates to match the size of the economy. if you have another one good for you but you have to have one.

Can't the price of everything else be intentionally set and stabilised in BTC? And with this, it would not matter how the world around fluctuates... Stabilise in intentional groups/communities/charter cities. These groups networked amongst themselves. Based on the electricity and work output of that group and how much of that is used to produce each thing or to keep BTC running. Or is it that economy will never work like that and the exterior will break/crush these intentionalities? In post modernity nobody depends on each other, but its the zero and the infinite. The individual depending on the giants Big Government and Big Corporations... That's why it keeps fragmenting and people don't come together. No need to depend, no group. Unless we intentionally decide to depend... Is that the future. The coexistence of these two models. Or is there no chance and we will be enslaved?

Correct. > In post modernity nobody depends on each other, but its the zero and the infinite. The individual depending on the giants Big Government and Big Corporations... That's why it keeps fragmenting and people don't come together. No need to depend, no group. Unless we intentionally decide to depend... Is that the future. The coexistence of these two models. Or is there no chance and we will be enslaved? Depending on big corps instead of your neighbors is a convenience and an indulgence like fast food. It'll go horribly wrong in the long run just like eating (only) fast food will go horribly wrong in the long run. You will need to muster some willpower to resist the temptation in either case.

Correct maybe we can go "back to barter" (if barter ever was a thing, my historical knowledge is incomplete on that). You're right with our massive digital interconnectivity now we should be able to arrange deals between willing trade partners we previously weren't able to arrange. Our current system is from the 1400's and geared around medieval market places.

Btc does seem to offer unrivaled trustlessness in trade though. So perhaps even with unlimited swaps...it will still need to be involved in those swaps ( perhaps in batches of pending swaps) to inject some truth and trustlessness to anchor settlement.
