      This is my favorite kind of derptopianism. The total collapse of society will finally let us transition to a technology that requires ubiquitous connectivity, extraordinary power consumption, transnational high-tech supply chains, and can handle 10 transactions a minute. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1392190984910360576 …

      The apocalyptic impulse keeps popping up again and again in Silicon Valley (remember the Singularity?) and shows the true contempt the tech elite has for institutions and democracy. Step 1 is always to sweep away the old and do a ground-up rewrite of society

      Another excellent point. There is a general phenomenon of flattening going on, where people can't understand that there is a massive distance between mild social dysfunction and some Max Max existence, or between an authoritarian turn and full-on fascism. https://twitter.com/ParetoOptimizer/status/1392196314969083907 …

      We'd all be better off if the tech industry were led by a country like Argentina or Lebanon, that has in its recent history experienced points all along this spectrum and as a result has a lot more chill. Instead people are panicking over a line at a gas station.

      Yes, Bitcoin is a powerful human rights tool to defend against authoritarianism and kleptocracy. That explains why 2/3 of this decentralized freedom currency is mined in China, with more than half of that just in Xinjiang—they need it there the most!https://twitter.com/gladstein/status/1392205251625639938 …

      The “tech elite” doesn’t control Bitcoin. It’s neutral, open, borderless technology with no special rules for the rich. It is a powerful human rights tool to defend against authoritarianism + kleptocracy. Anyone w/ internet can access it today. Ultimately it threatens the elite.

          Correction: I said China mines 2/3 of Bitcoin; the correct figure is in fact 3/4, according to a study out last month. Pinboard regrets the error. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22256-3.pdf …pic.twitter.com/3bASxFiBYh

          In fairness to @balajis, I have to concede his point that crypto doesn't require the internet. Bitcoin has an adaptive difficulty parameter that (after the bombs fall) will drop until it becomes profitable to hash with goose quills by candlelight https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1392197512568578048 …

          1) Miners don't control Bitcoin 2) According to recent trends, less than 50% of BTC mining takes place in China, and that # will continue to decrease over time 3) Bitcoin has done more to provide people in China with freedom than your virtue signaling on this website ever will

          lol, that's a pretty blatantly sinophobic comment. fwiw I don't believe that bc is a human rights tool or a a defence against authoratarianism. And definitely not a defense against kleptocracy, if anything it's a tool for that. Still, blatantly sinophobic comment dude.

          To be honest, it seems like the Chinese really do need it a lot. Their government has a history of doing strict capital and currency controls. They also have lots of hydro power over there, hopefully that reduces the environmental impact.
