That's because Bitcoin's pursuit of "astronomical improvement in FINANCE" has focused on digital assets and digital asset control, which is far easier to code/implement than even the easiest
#autorepoauto K w/ massive real world integration.
Common sense as well as wisdom to tackle and even master the easy things before tackling the much harder and more advanced things. Especially when the easier things, money and many kinds of purely financial contracts, alone have $trillions in potential value.

That said, I'd love to see proplets happen in my lifetime: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/rob/Courses/InformationInSpeech/CDROM/Literature/LOTwinterschool2006/szabo.best.vwh.net/proplets.html …

If you upload your consciousness to the blockchain and thus make it immutable you won’t have to worry about this silly “lifetime” construct

Sounds like it would be more secure than my current instantiation, but slow like taking too many sleeping pills.

If you start thinking too much fees will go up, so be careful

"Money" is NOT easy. It's arguably the hardest and most complex socio-legal institution that humans have designed. Both exceedingly rational & irrational; global & hyper-territorial; etc.
#AutoRepoAuto is the easier thing. Says who? Szabo'94. -
Nope I didn't say that, and certainly don't now believe that.

This is so frustrating, dude. You know how many times you used "money" in that article? ZERO. What are you doing, man?pic.twitter.com/noaNIrI0um

So how can you conclude that I thought it was easier than money? When I was younger I thought big and as I got older I narrowed things down to the more imminent or practical. (All relative, of course).
-
Yeah, relative is key. "money and many kinds of purely financial contracts, alone have $trillions in potential value." Try to think "big" once again and see the relativistic flaw in that statement? Hint, it's the little dollar sign in front of "trillions."

#RuthlessBitcoiners don't think of valuation in fiat, and they don't think of capturing value in discrete market segments, like "financial services." Bitcoiners who stay hungry remember that Bitcoin/Blockchain's full potential is in radical expansion of markets along new lines. -
Laser-like focus on "money" HAS created
#soundmoney (Bitcoin) - Satoshi & every Bitcoin dev &#Bitliever should be justifiably proud. Money means nothing without markets, however. Right now, crypto is primarily a#moneymarket; that's cool, but is eclipsed by real potential.
