So once the halving schedule runs it’s course decades from now… in the absence of transactions fees, what incentive do miners have to secure the network?

2023-10-08 01:42:13

- reply

Worth noting that halving isn’t a “split” or devaluing of the currency. Rather it’s cycle by which the rewards paid out to miners is halved every 210K blocks (4ish years). The idea is that miners depend more and more on fees for revenue rather than a programmed handout from the protocol itself.

So I have nothing else to add here because this gets at a fundamental disagreement between us that we simply can’t get past. I think guns in too many hands is bad, government is not inherently extortive, taxes are not inherently coercive, and I don’t think violent revolution is the answer to anything because when does that ever work out well for the people?
But I will say that were this exchange to have happened on Twitter, one or the other of us would have resorted to name calling or Hitler references before the third volley.

Ok two things here. First, theft is theft. Someone steals my shit and I get nothing for it. Taxation funds a lot of stuff, but also the provision of public services—to you and also to other people. We can argue until the cows come home about whether that’s right or wrong, or whether you get enough in return for your tax dollars, but show me a person who is aggro about their taxes and I’ll show you someone else who benefits from a government program. The fact is it’s a value exchange. This is a core belief of mine, however lop sided the value exchange might be today.
Second: sure, if there was some massive public version of kickstarter that could direct my funds to the things that matter most to me, hot damn, sign me up. But—keeping the examples to public works, since that’s my jam—to my knowledge there is no way for me to contribute to redevelopment of the northeast corridor, or expansion of New York City sewer capacity, or public schools or the construction of a nuclear plant. So for now my best bet is to pay my taxes and vote for the people that care about the things that I do while I stack sats.

To be pedantic, roads are comparatively easy. High speed rail, not easy at all. Like literally impossible without government intervention even in the best cases.

Disagree. That doesn’t work because people are inherently selfish. Put too many of them in a room with competing interests and nothing will get done. A decade in corporate leadership roles has taught me this. That’s the entire premise behind representative government.

2023-10-03 19:48:44

Ok yes you’re right, I hate freedom and human rights. Long live slavery!! Silly argument.
Look, I fundamentally disagree with “taxation is theft.” In fact I think high earners should be taxed even more than they are. I make a half a million a year in the fiat mines so I’m including myself in that set. Tax me!
But I also think that our political system is failing us. If the choice is between trump and biden then fuck me.

2023-10-03 19:27:55

That’s actually not what Lenin said at all. The quote was, “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency,” and that quote was falsely attributed to Lenin by none other than John Maynard Keynes. Taken at face value—if Lenin had indeed originated it—that could even be seen as an argument *against* inflationary monetary policy, in alignment with the views of many bitcoiners.
Also, I’m not saying that a socialist state would not capture the mint of given the opportunity. Any government would do so. The point is that if it are impossible for a socialist state to control the money supply, it would not necessarily render the state powerless.

2023-10-03 19:17:18

To be clear here I majored in economics 15 years ago, with a focus on public property rights and international trade. And the only universal truth in economics is that there is no universal truth in economics. Sure, it’s easy to say that production cures all ails but the secret sauce is in how to incentivize production of the right stuff in the right places. A major role of government in an ideal sense is to cut through local comparative advantages and the misalignment of incentives that inevitably arises in a diffuse structure of governance. I fundamentally believe that there is a role for government, maybe even “big government,” however different it may look from what we see today.

Non-socialist with a economics degree here. Fiat money is not a socialist concept. It’s a facet of all manner of modern economies. The central pillar of socialism is collective ownership of the means of production, which in practice results in the direct intervention by the government in all aspects of the economy. Control over monetary policy and issuance is not a hard requirement for a socialist state to function; the state would simply adapt to their lack of control over money supply by exerting control in other areas.

I mean sure, when you put it that way, so do I. Who wouldn’t? I just don’t think the solution to that problem is an abolition of the state and taxation. My inner nihilist is coming out now but I think the solution to the problem of tyranny and inefficiency in the public sector is so difficult that it’s practically impossible.

Overly idealistic. Large scale, society-changing public works would never happen under this model. High speed rail. City sewers. Nuclear power. You name it. What you advocate for is basically a return to agrarianism in the digital age.

2023-10-03 17:16:04

- reply

I see your point, but again, where in the bitcoin white paper or in satoshi’s writings does he mention that the fundamental purpose of bitcoin is to render a kleptocracy impossible?
Taxation and wealth redistribution are facts of the state, like it or not. Whether held in dollars or gold or bitcoin or nuka cola caps, as long as a state exists, taxation will be a mandate.
All I’m saying is let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Bitcoin is better money that renders a lot of our legacy financial sector obsolete. But it doesn’t replace the state, and it isn’t a codification of any values aside from the need for trustlessness and self custody of wealth in an increasingly digital society & one in which the financial sector wields undue influence.

2023-10-03 16:59:21

- reply

Bitcoin was an act of protest against corrupt financial institutions. That’s inherently political but I would argue that the core position is one that all ends of the political spectrum can get behind. Nothing about the way it works is exclusive of one set of values vs another.

2023-10-03 16:50:53

- reply

That’s an absolutist view. If bitcoin truly replaces central banking then yes, what you describe is a likely side effect. I personally don’t see that as likely whatsoever. I think bitcoin will replace our payment rails, will provide a parallel avenue for storage of wealth, will serve as a check on inflationary tendencies in our economy, but it won’t fundamentally replace the state.
But again, my view doesn’t matter. Tick tock, next block.

Again… what does any of this have to do with peer to peer electronic cash? You’re projecting your values onto the things you like. That’s fine but just acknowledge that that’s what this is about.

- reply

I think you’re taking some liberties with the substance of the bitcoin white paper. The product is aimed squarely at disintermediating financial institutions and enabling trustless peer to peer transactions. The whole “individual rights” thing is a narrative that was ascribed after the fact—as righteous as it sounds. Bitcoin is a new model for payment rails and storage of personal wealth, that’s it. Beyond that, it is exactly what the end user decides it is.

I dunno man. Sure, there are idiots hiding in every single nook and cranny of the political spectrum, bar none. But I reject the notion that bitcoin is more “for” one part of that spectrum than the other. It’s hard money, a sovereign asset, without permissions or borders. It’s for everyone by design. Projecting a political ideology onto bitcoin is misguided imo. I hear a lot of “you’re liberal, you shouldn’t have any bitcoin” and that’s just idiotic rhetoric and it makes the community look stupid to outsiders.
