Were seashells a Ponzi? What about glass beads? These were used as “currency” in our history, but nobody uses them as such anymore. Let’s say Bitcoin is a Ponzi. What or who will do the inevitable rug pull that comes with those scams? What

In post-apocalyptic crunch we are likely to go back to food, water and ammo. You and I will likely be long dead before society reverts to something like gold, so I doubt gold as post-apocalyptic hedge.

But if someone just moves into your property why can’t police just kick them out? That’s an illegal action. If someone came into your house and started stealing your things and you call the cops on them you don’t go to court to prove those

> imagine a society where people are actually held accountable for spreading bullshit disinformation, wouldn't that be a net good? Who decides that it’s bullshit though? The government? Or maybe interested-party-backed “fact checker

It’s not just one person’s brain, right? Everyone who was there would see the same thing. Surely, that means our brains are pretty much wired the same. But I wonder if some people would see the “correct” thing. What’s also mind blowing is t
