If you want to have a conversation about how good Zcash is going to be for the eight people in the world who really need it, that's a different conversation altogether

My boyfriend came out of the bedroom to check on me because I had told him I was going to bed soon. I had to switch tabs and pretend I wasn't yelling about bitcoin on Twitter

I feel like people don't know about the genesis of bitcoin, the problem it is solving for is probably not a problem you're interested in solvingpic.twitter.com/HBieRB4wjW

Math beanie babies is not my phrasing and this is the three tweet version of my explanation of bitcoinhttps://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/953700463186124801 …

The "math" behind bitcoin is "sound," it's also a solution to a radically misunderstood "problem" that has to do with human behavior rather than cryptography
Afficher cette discussion -
Human behavior, theories of money, theories of politics, theories of the state. If you really do understand WHAT the problem bitcoin is purporting to solve actually is, godspeed and good luck with the floating concrete island in international waters

Also I had a lot of fun explaining metallism, modern monetary theory, and Christine Desan on this phone call, all of this is way more complex than just "THE MATH CHECKS OUT"

You know what else checks out? PGP, which not even Phil Zimmermann will use
Afficher cette discussion -
the basic tech at the core of PGP is beautiful and elegant and I will always be a fan but also PGP is bad and every time I get an encrypted email I get a sinking feeling in my stomach
Afficher cette discussion -
I've never written any of this up because for a long time every who gave a shit about bitcoin understand the core tech and were invested in ignoring or actively disproving various theories of money and state and it all seemed a little uselesshttps://twitter.com/confusedcharlot/status/953707703926476806 …

now that cryptocurrency is mainstream I live in a HELL of knowing what bitcoin actually is while the world loses its MIND all around me

What I find odd about the whole thing is this bizarre idea that humans are just a couple of tech. steps away from some anarchic Utopia that exists without nation-states.

It's like some kind of fever-dream inverse of the communist fantasy of the early 20th century. The insane part is the lack of knowledge of history, of the security & (relative) stability the modern state & fiat currency have brought us over these past 200 years..

Lol. My favorite part is when they refer to currency as “fiat” in a derisive tone. Like... you get that bitcoin is still a fiat currency right? Except that based on a country it’s based on... people’s faith in shitty math?
