1/ ⚡️🎙️⚡️ Michael Goldstein, @bitstein, joined me on the Citizen Bitcoin podcast today to consider the art of internet trolling, bitcoin memetics, Austrian economics, global macroeconomics, bitcoin's future and we dive into another rabbit hole that he’s known for: carnivory.
2/ Me: "What’s a bitcoin future look like in 50 years?"

Bitstein: "Moon colonies. Grazing cattle all across the American West. Thorium reactors dotting the planet with bitcoin citadels having grown into a fine patchwork of decentralized political experimentation."

🤯⚡️🚀🌕
3/ Mentioned in the episode: @pierre_rochard, @matt_odell, @american_hodl, @saifedean, @NakamotoInst, @mises, @VictorErem, @kowalskr, @Nick_Ony 🙏

Give me bitcoin, or give me death.
"Common sense will tell us, that
the power which hath endeavoured to subdue us, is of all others, the
most improper to defend us."
"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity...

1/ With all this talk about Ethereum node nightmares, I thought I'd write up a brief thread about my experience with running bitcoin nodes.

In early 2018 I bought an ACEPC T11 ($120) and a 2.5" SATA 7200 RPM 1 TB Western Digital WD Black HDD ($66) from Amazon.
2/ I installed Linux, Bitcoin Core and LND, opened channels and bought a some stickers.

The ACEPC T11 comes with Windows 10 preinstalled on an internal SD. I wanted to try out @pierre_rochard's Node Launcher so I fired up Windows, installed it and am syncing from genesis now.
3/ I bought a @CasaHODL node when they were announced, got mine Nov 2018. I bought it right away because they have a great product team (shout out @jeremyrwelch, @lopp and @Nneuman) and because full hardware nodes like it, @nodl_it and @lightninginabox are doing important work.

1/ To be a "good citizen" of bitcoin you need to take personal responsibility for your education. There is so much to learn. Computer science, networking, economics, game theory, cryptography, security and much more. We were overwhelmed when we started, too. Still are.
2/ But we're fascinated. And we know that bitcoin education is already and will only become more important. With Citizen Bitcoin we are taking the leap from learn to teach.

3/ We are still learning, too. We'll make mistakes. But we pledge to learn from our mistakes and to seek clear understanding. We invite you to join us on this journey so we don't have to do it alone.

1/ Sharing slides from this morning's #Fluidity2019 talk, which for me represented the start of Blockchain Week(s) in NYC.
2/ The market is our best tool for quantifying and distilling expectation about #crypto's future.
3/ Given expectation is inherently about the *future,* it is bound to be driven by human emotion about the unknown.

(overly optimistic in bull markets, overly pessimistic in bear markets)

#Bitcoin and fractional reserve banking (FRB). Thread 👇

Ok, this is going to be a controversial one. I've avoided the topic for a long time, but since there are many important experts -- ppl that I truly admire -- discussing the subject, I can no longer ignore it.
1/ Since the @Bakkt announcement, the issue has gained steam, especially through the works of @CaitlinLong_ (who's a real champion of #Bitcoin and liberty btw) and her concerns on WallSt's financialization of crypto. B/c of that, FRB is now inserted frequently into debates.
2/ As a background for laymen, FRB is considered THE BIG CONTENTIOUS & UNRESOLVED DEBATE within adherents of the so-called Austrian School of Economics. Rothbardians tend to think it's fraudulent, inflationary and causes economic cycles. They are the proponents of 100% reserves.

Ray Dalio talks #economics. Must watch. Here he covers emerging markets economic crises as well as how the next big crisis will shape up.
Ray Dalio's investing approach is centered around processing data into actionable conclusions. His goal has been to understand how the economic machine works. History repeats itself, he claims. His hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, embraces econometrics.
In contrast, the Austrian School of Economics generally rejects econometrics and dismisses empirical evidence. Instead of trying to understand the economic machine, they fight it. Listening to an Austrian economist is listening to never ending bashing of fiat currencies.

I think there's an interesting dynamic between VC's/Funds and Bitcoiners.
A lot of the VC's value different properties and have different views on things. The most obvious reason why is Austrian vs Keynesian economics. If you're in this space and still don't know the difference.
Educate yourself. Here are some sources:

economicreason.com/austrianeconom…


For #Bitcoin specific examples I recommend reading @jimmysong's articles: medium.com/@jimmysong/cry…
medium.com/@jimmysong/seg…
I honestly didn't know the difference either until I got into #Bitcoin just because it didn't really matter to me at the time. During my education I took some courses in economics but they were all Keynesian I figured out later... which explains why I was left with some questions

Just got to Davos. Ready to fill the leadership vacuum with big ideas. My focus will be on privilege and women. Only going to #womanels #methree. Also, my alligator-skin boots got snow on them, anyone have a blow drier or an FT I can use to dry them off?
Thread 1/n: Small ideas feel big when I'm in my Gulfstream, so here it goes: We have to innovate on innovation. The 7th industrial revolution disrupts AND displaces. Artificial intelligence and blockchain can only solve resurgent populism with #compassion.
2/n We elites are critical to making this debate glocalized. Thought leadership also involves thought stewardship. Communities form the core of our economies. Blue collar workers must be re-conceived as #newcollar workers. Code is key.
