      Run like the plague from "blockchains" that are based on the politeness of strangers rather than on minimizing the need to rely on the goodwill of strangers. A seamlessly global blockchain can be successfully run and used by people who hate each other. https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/hello-kitty-people.html …https://twitter.com/EtheriumToken/status/984434724230828033 …

      Question & this is not to stir anything up, but bitcoin maximalists do seem quite rude. If the desire is for mainstream adoption, will these attitudes be helpful? Or is this on purpose to show people that even if people are mean, blockchain still works & doesn't care? Curious

      They should get on twitter. LOL. I love the way @NickSzabo4 weaves history into things. Very important. But most of those people just want to make money and don't really care about the outcome (I'm in business/finance). Community is important and perception matters.

      Community in the sense people usually mean it excludes all but a few friends and should be considered an attack. Best global governance is a loose uncommunity who mostly share a certain core ethos but don't otherwise depend on each others' goodwill or politeness.

          We already have sloppily organized coalitions of people with competing interests, patched together by good intentions. It’s called government. If Blockchain isn’t offering something different then what’s the point?

          All of these attitudes is why the governments and banks aren't really scared. If we can't come together as a group with like intentions and objectives, there is no chance for real disruption or adoption. People will make money and move on to AI & Quantum. Most people are into $

          The beauty of real blockchain tech is that we don't need those traditional prerequisites of social success to operate on a global scale, and indeed unscalable sociality can be counterproductive to making the best use of this technology of leapfrog social scalability.

          Come on Bitcoin historian. You must know community is at the core of our humanity as social creatures. Also, I appreciate the engagement. I can point you all to a study of baby bonobos and their choice of mother vs food. Community is not exclusion but instead inclusion.

          Totally agree. And I am glad someone else read Scale. I kept nudging people. If only Geoffrey West was on twitter and I could harass him. Sadly, no :(

          This inability to bond together and re-group together will be studied in the future. Most bitcoiners are ruminators not future thinkers and herein lies the problem.
