It's hard to guard your time and attention when it is used as a defacto currency online. Using attention as a surrogate currency has led to all kinds of problems.

The root problem lies in the nature of coin, credit, circulation, and information. 🧵👇

Platforms harvest eyeballs and brain cycles to sell them to the highest bidder. The core of the advertisement model is combining addiction with surveillance, which destroys nuance and privacy alike.

The incentives are broken. #Bitcoin fixes this.

The internet had to use attention as a surrogate currency because conventional currency doesn't work well online. You have to use IOUs when using conventional currency, which implies credit and counterparty risk, and thus KYC.

#Bitcoin fixes this.

Crypto bros are worse than nocoiners. It's more honest and smarter to say "everything is a scam," even if it includes bitcoin.

Why should you trust magic internet money? It's all just made up funny money, right?

"Everything is a scam" is a reasonable position.

Understanding #Bitcoin - what it is, and how it works - is HARD. It takes a long time to wrap your head around money, around the fiat system, around cryptography, game theory, proof-of-work, etc.

Understanding it completely is impossible.
