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

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

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 …

And yet here we are communicating on postcards.

Now what I would like to know is why we couldn't put some of our technical expertise to designing markets and electronic transaction systems that would improve the financial system, rather than break it.
