Reading "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton this week. Very accessible read (~3rd grade lvl?) on MMT. Paints a good pic of where fiat-issuers are going.

Question: In BSV-world, if CSW is the "issuer" of bitcoin... what prevents him from issuing more?

Meaning, in the analogy/rhetoric on set-in-stone... the "protocol" -- what exactly is being ref'd. If the stone is the words of Satoshi himself... and the 21M supply isn't in the white paper but in his postings -- and that's considered a verbal contract...

"Total circulation will be 21,000,000 coins."

Any further detailed definition of circulation?

Sorry for the rather basic questions, just re-addressing fundamentals.

Overall, I presume the economic incentives of maintaining "the protocol" will push...

Not sure what you asking.

MMT is a bit of a confused theory imo and I'm not sure you can apply it to bitcoin

bitcoin is hard austrian concept. elastic supply on demand cant work. That's why gold was dropped.

Copy that. I'm familiar w/ MMT - just was reading her book as she's the current face of it. Just listening to CSW emphasize his roll as the "issuer" made me think of parallels -- as MMT rests on the idea that Gov'ts can print as they "issue" the currency.
