I don’t really understand what Jason’s new idea is.
He writes a lot of what comes across to me as pseudoscience conjecture, but I fail to grasp what actually makes his ideas motivating.
At best it’s a reheated version of the familiar nation state game theory idea, which is fine but no longer novel?
Perhaps I’m just more attracted to the really down to earth bitcoin arguments. Such as lightning being the missing payments protocol for the internet — really simple but really valuable.
I had a friend that I worked with for about 6 years and around year 4 he got Cancer. He had wife and kids while also working alongside of me everyday.
One day I asked him, “How are you doing this?” “How are you able to work?” “Have Cancer, take care of your kids, wife and go to treatment?”
He told me point blank.
“No way Cancer will get the best of me, Car!”
He was absolutely convinced that everything was going to be fine. He also was a Christian man so his faith was strong. He never complained or missed any days that I can recall, never used Cancer as an excuse. It was quite inspiring tbh, never seen anything like it.
To this day we still talk from time to time. Last message I got from him he said he was doing fine and just had his second daughter.
Hope this helps, I will keep you in my prayers. Honestly whenever things get me too down or I feel like complaining I remember my friend, who just willed a different outcome with his conviction and faith. God bless you, your family and your wife.
I was asked many times by many nocoiners about this aspect. I answer them here.
TLDR: Bitcoin is changing the mentality of consumerism into mentality of savings. Save today for having tomorrow enough to buy the stuff you really need it. Don’t stretch you legs more than your blanket.
Using your bitcoin as collateral is the most moronic thing ever. Literally you are going back to fiat and fractional reserve.
