Imagine a world where mass, distance, time, temperature, electric current and luminosity are not measured using fixed units, rather the units are changed often qouting environmental or political reasons? Would you believe in the scientific measurements done using such model?
Economics is defined as the science of wealth(Marshall) or in the terms of scarcity(Robbins). Regardless of the definition, money is considered the unit of account. The current monetory global standard is Fiat money or government printed money.
The measure of a product's(or service) value is called a price and is generally decided by market forces of supply and demand. The price is market's perceived value and not reflective of inherent value. Prices are measured using the unit of money. E.g $1000 for a smartphone 🤷

#Bitcoin Short-Squeeze Warning:
The chances of a short-squeeze is relatively high. It also looks like the longer we remain in sideways above $5,200 the more likely the shorts will get as dangerously high as the August or December 2018 squeezes tradingview.com/x/PTqtC5iX $BTCUSD $BTC
Bitcoin Bitfinex shorts still adding up and the Premium has reached an all time high today. Time to watch closely: We either pull back hard from $5,800s to $5,300 or experience the squeeze by end of day tomorrow #Bitcoin #Bitfinex #Tether $USDT $BTCUSD
tradingview.com/x/K8aSuor9
The short-squeeze played out nicely. However, shorts remain quite high which means we will be heading higher over the weekend to $6,700-6,800 on Bitfinex or $6,400-6,500 Bitstamp before a major pull back. tradingview.com/x/brmTYXwp #Bitcoin #Bitfinex $BTCUSD $BTC #Crypto

Also: Retweeting this in order to avoid spamming this thread and getting blocked again. I will continue here. @woonomic
What a mess.. I just noticed that most of the tweets do not seem to be viewable from the outside -but only for myself- due to the autoblock. Copy paste below in order to create a coherent structure/thread.

Hoping this does not happen again when I write everything on my own wall.
Related to your claim that [M = PQ/Vu + I/Vi].

First issue: Why do you over complicate things by splitting up the 'utility economy' and 'investment economy' when you're interested in the aggregate network valuation?

THREAD: Ready to get mindblown by #Bitcoin #CORE implementations and progress?

Volunteers around the world gather and cumulate tons of hours from the best minds on this planet about the topic. This is a gift, an invention made to humanity.
Forget about 2nd layer, it's already and way too mainstream as I recently stated.

Yet, welcome now to the "in between layers": "The new layer can be seen as a channel factory"

Now Smart contracts.

You tought #Bitcoin was dumb? First and foremost, you were wrong because $BTC has smart contracts *since the inception*: multisign and lately get timelocks (led to LN).

If you didn't know that, admit you're never really been interested in Bitcoin or lured?
