Who else read this illuminating thesis? I haven't felt this way since the very concept of POW clicked for me back in 2017.

After WW1, Billy Mitchell tried to convince the US military that airplanes would be a critical factor in naval combat in the near future. He was laughed out of the room and demoted.

>The cover of my thesis is the bone structure of a stag's antlers, which allows their species to physically compete for control over resources (e.g. territory, mating rights) & secure themselves against predators (e.g. wolves) while minimizing fratricide. It is a symbolic metaphor for the #Bitcoin network as a "soft" (i.e. non-fratricidal) form of war. The thesis asserts that #Bitcoin functions as "human antlers"

Unlikely that you are in all honesty. If you've truly seen Softwar all over Twitter and have been reading pull quotes from the thesis, then you are either an ignoramus or one of the ETH maxi neophytes who joined the club in 2021.

Would actually love to have a discussion with you about POW, bitcoin, future nationstate game theory, etc - but if you want to keep trolling, so be it.

He puts a military flavor on what was already known about btc, code as the law, nodes as the cops, etc. I'm of the opinion that hyperbitcoinization will be extremely violent and I prefer not to think about it, even though the saylors of the world think it would be some paradise and don't think it through without rose colored glasses

btc maxis had over a decade to figure things out and instead they focused on number go up rather than figuring out how to scale the tech and reach network effect escape velocity. even with the massive first mover advantage they failed. now they all look like a bunch of grifting retards posting ridiculous platitudes on twitter to suck in any last bit of exit liquidity then can. it's kind of disgusting when you think about it.

Bob is a man who still lives in his mom's basement. Bob spends his days playing video games, watching anime, and eating Cheetos. He has no job, no girlfriend, and no life. One day, while taking out the trash, Bob notices a stray cat meowing at him. He tries to shoo it away, but the cat keeps following him, leading him to a dirty alleyway. Bob reluctantly follows the cat, thinking it's probably leading him to some sort of crack den.But instead, the cat leads Bob to a filthy bulletin board covered in advertisements. One in particular catches Bob's eye: OpenBetAI token. 'What the hell is this?' he mutters, reading the ad. Bob decides to take a chance and invests all of his mom's money in OpenBetAI. He doesn't know anything about crypto, but he figures it's better than sitting on his arse all day. To his surprise, OpenBetAI takes off like a rocket, making Bob filthy rich. Bob can't believe his luck. He goes out and buys a flashy car, a mansion, and a whole lot of hookers and blow. He's living the life of a rock star, and he loves it. But Bob soon realizes that money can't buy happiness. He misses playing video games in his mom's basement and eating Cheetos. He's lonely and bored, despite his riches. In the end, Bob realizes that he was happier before OpenBetAI came into his life. He sells all his belongings and goes back to his mom's basement, where he resumes his life of video games and Cheetos. But now, he's got a little extra cash to spend on his guilty pleasures. Lesson learned: sometimes, the most unexpected things can change your life. But in the end, it's the simple things that make you happy. And also, don't follow stray cats into alleys. You never know what kind of mess you'll get yourself into.................https://openbetai.io
