Fiat currency is the actual Pokémon card, the value of it controlled by the revolving suits of politicians and corporate ceos pulling the central bank levers early referred to…again I trust math, science, and encryption way more than humans.

If we were to tokenize Pokémon cards, house their NFTs on a decentralized blockchain, requiring cryptographical proof of work to exchange…I’m in.

False assumption? Are you suggesting more coins can be minted? And a follow up question, isn’t a Ponzi scheme when something pretends to be something it’s not? What’s BTC pretending to be, it has always acknowledged its value exists only in trust-and who pulls the chute on a decentralized entity?

Volatility has been, is still, an important consideration that will be reduced as it matures, and its popularity, and utility increases (hopefully). Is volatility your biggest concern?

And fiat currency only enjoys that attachment because we trust it, and in that act we demonstrate our trust of its issuing government. I’m tempted to put my trust in math and science over demonstrably corrupt humans running said governments.

It’s one of the most egalitarian ideas around. No one controls it because of the decentralization. No one can shut it down. It’s really a beautiful idea.

Heard a story recently about people in a country, I want to say Myanmar but not sure, facing a military coup who were able to hide their money in crypto exchanges before the government shut down the banks. A hammer can be used to build a house or bash in a skull.

Here’s another great idea a Land Value tax instead of the property tax system we have at the moment.

We’ve commodified games; and while we’re here, the human right of food and shelter too. This is the photo of white folks protesting black folks going to their schools side of history our grandchildren will be ashamed of…

It also allows an individual to refuse unfair remuneration; it makes each and every one of us a labour union.

Two days in row getting this done before noon feels great! It’s was suggested to offer to create a push-up video if we raised a certain amount. So where would people like to see me do push-up? Middle of Callander bay on the Skidoo? Other suggestions?
