Now if we can just get more open discussions/debates about different things and not make it an echo chamber. #proofofwork concept goes against “for profit capitalism”

2024-06-19 01:50:43

No such thing as free market capitalism. @npub15dq…lm5m on his Point #7 Prague 2024 reiterates this which I have been posting about. #capitalism relies on exploitation and State intervention, therefore it has and never will be “free market”. For profit capitalism by default, is unsustainable. This kind of exploitation and unsustainable ethical sewage, is not congruent with #bitcoin first principles.

Yes it is. She is 2.5 years but the wife feels better with eyes on her. Always staking sats and not spending any…it all goes to my girl.

lol, Whiny? Have you actually listened to a lot of your podcasts lately? You sir have lost the vision while on the journey. The sad part, you are taking credit from the generosity of others and the support of the bitcoin community…while acting like you are “helping” everyone. You have contributed much, don’t get salty when someone calls you out.

For the love of Odin! lol Why do you keep sending me these things!? I have read all these things. I started with Ron Paul and explored all these things. Give me something outside this god forsaken capitalistic worship shit!

Hook, line, and sinker.
If you think that “majority of profits” is the only way innovation happens or has happened, you do not understand psychology or human history.
Most innovation comes from “how to make my life easier “ or “how to make this task at hand easier”.
Profits is actually a new concept in the timeline of our species. Not to mention, I own a company, that generates no profit and pays the workers multiples more in what their peers get paid in our market. It works, I’m not asking…I’m telling.
Todays company’s are mostly zombie companies with high evaluations do to the sea of shit fiat that we swim in. Most companies in history start small with very little over head, growing slowly and not really risking much but time/labor. However, most also make back their initial investment rather quickly or why would you take on more overhead if you have made no return.
The true risk takers are the individuals who work for a company and they have no say in the operating decisions; meaning, a ceo can make a bad call and they have no job…which is no fault of their own.
Yet, CEOs, executives, big stock holders make more in one day than the workers make in a lifetime.
Keep regurgitating that capitalist mantra. It’s proven it is unsustainable. Would you like to move to why it is not sustainable?

Also, you keep claiming I am ignorant of economics when I’ve literally read the quotes you use…although many years ago.

Now I see your confusion. My argument is against “profits” at all costs. Which, in most cases, by stealing the value of labor. If you do not contribute to the labor to produce, you have no claim to the fruits of that labor.

Without labor, there is no service or product. Without expending energy, there is no mining bitcoin.
Unless you have learn to change the laws of physics, there is no debate here.

“Capitalism is not legislation “ that seriously is no where near historically accurate. You mean to tell me that not legislation has ever been enacted for “profit” of a company, group of individuals, or sector of the economy?
Here is a real stick in the wheel…capitalism can also be its own religion.

I’ve read plenty of Austrian economics. I know how capitalism works. It’s much like the American Constitution, either it failed to prevent State corruption or it enabled it.
I believe in free markets, that’s why I spread ideology and not legislation. You would be wise to research who creates the “barriers to entry” in modern global economies.

lol, well I don’t really attached myself to anything but if i were, it would be anarchist. I do appreciate you name calling instead of addressing my questions.

I run a business and have run a business that is based on no profits. It has been running for almost a decade and all the producers produce more and take home more every year. So maybe you can understand why I believe your understanding of capitalism and “profit” may be incorrect.
If “profit” is left over from all expenses, that means the laborers are being stolen from or the consumer is being ripped off.

I think you are blaming anything but capitalism for the oppression of the working class.

The State and Capitalism for all of recorded history has been shitty for the majority…yet you blame one? Do you also blame all religion for the crimes of “god(s)”?

I respect that you responded but you did not answer “what is the definition of profits”. You gave me your opinion and a flawed but valid response to you.

2024-06-02 03:16:23

We agree very little but we do agree on some aspects. My questions to you would be: When has capitalism not had interference by the State? Or, when has capitalism not used the State for interference?

If you can tell me the difference, I am open to learning from you.

Is “economic surplus “ your definition of profits?

Yes and capitalism is corporatism.

How bout we try “proof of work” or just pay for what people produce? For profits companies are unsustainable and not fair. In order to have “profits”, you must steal from the laborer.

Unfortunately this is the lie we have been told by…capitalists. It has never been free from “government “, capitalism is the government.

@npub1rtl…jtfs is such a capitalist cuck. You would have a much more intelligent convo with a Teddy Ruxpin. Most Bitcoin people like thinking they are the “pioneers” but are the true gatekeepers of nothing. @npub14mc…frlx barely has good interviews other than the great guests he has. Danny does more of the “thinking “. Peter mostly talks about his “accomplishments “ which yield him profits, as he refers to them like philanthropy.
Your true discussions come from @npub1a2c…w83a and @npub1s05…eyhe who, not confirmed, care about what I believe to be Satoshi initial reason for Bitcoin. FreedomMoney. Level playing field.
I thought this platform would be different, so far, it’s not. A bunch are of Elon musks running around under pseudonyms and giving out awards to themselves.
Please, for the love of humanity keep your sats, not needed here. But I do beg you, if you know who Teddy Ruxpin is, stand up for what bitcoin was created for. If you don’t, these cucks of capitalism will profit in the name of philanthropy…while Satoshi shakes his head in disgust.
#bitcoin #proofofwork #capitalism #philosophy
Ps @npub1ahx…5ech you conduct your interviews in a way that is more objective. Unlike @npub14mc…frlx who is a “look at me please, mate”
