Fantastic! Working hard right now - I sent you an invite on discord to our Region channel if you are interested - but its not required. All conversations about this topic on HIVE get upvoted by me so maybe better to talk here 😅

I rarely use discord for anything. Privacy concerns are one of the main reasons. My distaste towards Big Tech products have only grown as I use better tools. I will occasionally show up. Grain production is going smoothly. I have started unstaking 50% of my SPS for Land. I think it will be worth the risk.
Really good piece, I always appreciate that you share stuff like this. I'm going to return the favor. This is on the surface a talk about money, but it includes Mathew Crawford, who I really enjoy for his 'theorizing out loud' about mindwar; pay attention to how he deals with 'China' and the east, piratization and technological transfers.
This is not taking anything away from your video - we are indeed being harvested - but just an alternative perspective on the Chinese boogeyman.

I watched the video in full. It was definitely interesting. Thank you for sharing it. China has been proactively engaging in IP theft. At the same time they are pushing education towards STEM in an unhealthy way while USA and the aligned nations are making their blunders.
One complain I have about the speakers is that they see class instead of the individuals. For an example, those who got rich during the development of USA did not go to East to enjoy a repeat. The Eastern had their own billionaires. Having a view that see class blinds people to individuals in action and only end up seeing aggregates.
As for BTC, I am more of a believer in the "Bitcoin Lab Leak Theory" because I have seen enough bureaucracy and chaos from government and Military Industrial Complex.
It was a pleasure to hear Douglas Engelbart name dropped. More people needs to learn about him. I only learned about him very recently.

The idea of product backed fiat is really not a fiat. HIVE, KOIN etc. are product backed fiat as per my understanding and the term itself sounds like an oxymoron. Backing a cryptocurrency with a service is basically a digital commodity. I think Mathew Crawford needs to learn to sell his ideas properly. He might be alienating people who would have been onboard with his ideas. He cannot get his foot in the door because he is using terms that do not even fully fit the thing he is describing.
Thank you! I will find some time to watch it.
