@odtorson I framed the newsletter as a question deliberately. I dont know whether it is worth discussing or not. Folks in know are telling me that it isnt. Fair enough. But a. Im learning a lot 🙂 and b. I find the responses folks are giving very telling in their own right.

@JoMicheII @Frances_Coppola Maybe this is best described as something like a “structural irony” to avoid the implication that the issue here is subjective knowledge or attitude.

@marcrjandrew @craigwarmke Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. Will dig in.

@dipasqualew @OnesandToozePod @elonmusk I take that for granted. We really dont have an option but to use government tools. The only issue is how and the degree to which we are conscious of it, admit or celebrate it, or, instead, indulge in various kinds of self-deception.

@sonusvarghese @FiSurgi How was SHA-256 created? Thats precisely the question on which I am collecting reading suggestions.

@CAltmeppen @ralph_squillace @OnesandToozePod @elonmusk My point is simply that, better or not, for all the huffing and puffing about the costs of trust, need to find alternatives to CB and banks etc the crypto folks haven’t even tried to do it without government.

@ltrgoddard I agree. And did not mean to imply that and am appreciating all the schooling I am getting this morning on this very issue. Which for me makes it more like a. Mazzucato story and b. Credit as opposed to chartal theory of money.

@AdeCabanes Well thank you!

@ltrgoddard Oh I agree. That was my second question. It seems just like those other developments.

@CAltmeppen @ralph_squillace @OnesandToozePod @elonmusk Nice banner image by the way.

@CAltmeppen @ralph_squillace @OnesandToozePod @elonmusk I think autonomy is the issue isn't it? And from what source you claim to derive the alternative that you propose to societal confidence in the state or the banking system etc.

@papanoel_cool Isnt the Taylor rule a trust mechanism? Wasn’t that the original point of Fisher’s Quantity Theory as well. Make this mechanical.

@AndrewS32914275 @OnesandToozePod @elonmusk You don’t open the black box. You shove more and more inputs through the function until you find something that fits the required form.

@JoMicheII The idea of launching some kind of stand alone, hands-free, trustless, non-state version of money did not even get past first base. It is IMMEDIATELY entwined with the open source public/private/chartalist/credit soup that is, *of course*, the norm in any complex social system.

@JoMicheII HI Jo my point is certainly not there is anything sensational about this entanglement. What else would one expect? But it is ironic and telling in a project that so explicitly markets itself as an alternative to either the chartist or credit theory versions of money!

A striking thing about crypto is that it is far more radical in its deflationary implications than gold, the supply of which has proven rather elastic. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-ne… https://t.co/2zXRk8KqGZ

@ediblesticker Who said anything about problem? As a fiat person I find it charming that all the anti-gov bs evaporates when it comes to the code.
