Bitcoin is the new land of the free and home of the brave.

Wonderful talk! Love the words and phrases generated here 😁 all quotable

You can do all computation using just the relevant metadata of a data structure (info).

Metadata-structure about information is all that any computation actually needs, if you look at functional programming.

Your data remains entirely private on bitcoin

Licenses necessary exist....something vehemently denied by libertarians. Licenses are required for order. You can have a market for producing them, through relicensing agencies deriving power through reinsurance agencies protecting, that's another matter.

All authority will exist, and all power will exist. It has to be united and transparent and singular, over a region, just like the Sun, shining bright. Sun can be harsh, and causes sunburns, but it powers everything. It holds everything/society together

Referee has more privilege than the players. He forces people around, and rules the ground.
Is he tyrannical, and has to be done away with?
You cannot do away with layers of authorizations, whatever you do. There will always be "ruling class".

Because you understand ethics well, but have a blindspot of not understanding power.

Ethics == Power

You can argue all you want about ethics, and you will be right. Unfortunately, ethics does not run the world, power does. We want marriage of the 2.

Since there is no world government, can't it be said that it is already ancap at the highest level? There are countries/corporations ruling over different regions, competing for power.

So where does the line get drawn for it to become "really" ancap?

So power is a necessity to achieve whatever environment you want to make. This egalitarian instinct that power is inherently bad, was created by enlightenment thinkers, and has been debunked by Neoreactionary literature, moving outside this overton window.

I can easily write a story in which there are good spirits too, not just bad spirits (more in tune with reality), and they are all fighting for power.

By not fighting for power, evil spirits win by default, because they do, and that's our boring story.

A real libertarian order has not been achieved. If it has, it has been under the frame of monarchy or republic. Why?
Because it does not address politics/power at all, only economics. Economics applies INSIDE the arena of rules of a game set up by power

The environment of voluntary interactions, has to be PRODUCED, like an enclosed stadium, in which these ethics are enforced. CREATION of this environment, requires top-down organization/corporation, whose purpose is to supress all involuntary interactions

I agree, but there is one more distinction in the type of hierarchy: that of top-down, which is opposite to the spontaneous bottom-up order by market forces. INSIDE an organization, it is top-down, you do have a boss, and orders, that you have to follow.

Interestingly, Curtis Yarwin's (Moldbug) latest essay was just on this, here you go:
https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-inflation-economy
speaking about him, he should be really getting into BSV, specially for his project URBIT, which BSV also solves

Yes, most of the bad can be traced to inflation, and the rest is traced to democracy. Basically, everything to do with high-time-preference creation in society, the hyper-consumerism and sexual and moral degeneracy.

I am enjoying reading it from my angle. But that is fiction, dramatising the evil of power, continuing in the zietgist of thinking all hierarchy/power is inherently bad, started by enlightenment thinkers, which you are still in. Not a political thinker

😂 I am sorry.
But address the argument. I have just taken a position (I may not even really believe in it, I am just strength testing the value structure, so please cooperate)

Bitcoin will become the ultimate safe heaven, acting as a protection to anyone who holds UTXOs, as long as they are connected to the mandala network.

This is selling bitcoin to a big organization 👇which manages what is allowed or not allowed inside it's dominion. Some shitty chain or group would otherwise sell it to them, that's how ethereum had spread, it had targeted marketing, to uniprofessors, too

Unless it is regulated and structured within a civilised consciously created and negotiated framework, where power is kept accountable for, and also given its place to be exercised in an acceptable form.

Essentially, a game 🏟️ with refrees, fixed rules

And looking at the crypto-market, need I mention how bad raw markets, without being enclosed in structured organisation, are for discovery of the best ideas.

The best ideas/products don't win. Power still overrules,

Everyone is not an entrepreneur. That is a specialisation.

If you acknowledge, and serve the demand for government/organisations/environments, by becoming the producer of the environments/organi you espouse, only then you are a consistent libertarian.

Other people are consumers of environments, consumers of organization. Not everyone is an organizer. It is a Specialization.

Competitive pressures are great and all.

But a garden is top-down. And people want gardens, not forests. There is comfort and organisation.

Basically, there is a demand for government, that is pretty obvious but libertarians who don't acknowledge it.

Every organis(m/ation) is top-down internally to control its owned territory to the maximum, and wants bottoms-up coordination externally, with other players.

And every organisation is within a greater organisation.

It is a intertwined heirarchy of control, like a yin-yang balance continuously negotiated between bottom and top.

CSW had realised this later that he has to lead. Things don't happen just because incentives are there.

Consciousness has to actually do it.
