AI&#39;s productivity promise is a major problem for the banks and indebted governments. But, if the 1990s are any guide, this problem will ultimately end up back in the lap of savers and holders of the currency.<br/><br/>When you look back to the last major tech advancement -- the internet -- you see prices coming down in the first half of the 1990s. Again, big problem for the banks and government. Greenspan starts priming the pump in the mid-90s, changed the CPI definition in 1996 to mask his expansion of the money supply -- leading to the bubble and crash.<br/><br/>In other words, paraphrasing <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsxxn50k" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>saifedean</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…n50k</span>)</a></span>, &#34;a slow drain of monetary value over time transfers the wealth of its holders to those who can produce the medium at low cost.&#34; The government will need to offset the productivity gain.<br/><br/> <br/><br/> 2026-10-04T18:20:54Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsykgzz6g6tznatj8t2gly3uds0374p99qft0fl0jtvp0jnq3pxjuczyr8up83v0rlf64txcmq0sh8agv7aury4a3qtgnsj58k0jq8uxua06xjzw0n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0hcn8rgxm88tux7mw96mrj0f4n9smkhn3j4men359tuuf8lee29cftf5zc'>nevent1q…f5zc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The petrodollar was an example of balancing debt and securing energy/materials through superior warfaring. The problem, I think, is that you cant bully people forever. They find ways of pushing back and winning.<br/><br/>As evidenced by the various conflicts around the globe, it is proving very, very hard (politically, militarily) to dominate and gain control of energy and materials -- at least sufficient to bailout the massive debt represented by the world&#39;s global reserve currency.<br/><br/>The fact that the US is, nonetheless, taking this risk perhaps demonstrates how desperate its debt and fiscal spending situation is. And, so far, I am not sure the strategy is working.<br/><br/>Yields are blowing out. Treasuries are being shunned, not treated like a safe haven. And the efforts to gain control of energy resource is very expensive, adding to the problem -- not solving it, arguably. <br/><br/> 2026-10-04T18:07:11Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs97w4w3wpgraan8paxwudzefcvr8u8cfulwn56pc6dh3l5prkxucczyr8up83v0rlf64txcmq0sh8agv7aury4a3qtgnsj58k0jq8uxua06mxxgm3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9afy8h647qmqjkflq7twjnzpmgzepukd7lk54dyfxjwgs4xqv5gg6hv6ht'>nevent1q…v6ht</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Deep throat! 🤣 <br/><br/> 2026-10-04T17:53:43Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsx8ju7x57rn6qx7hu9kl2eg72gju75n28rf62z8c87q5xrmq23stqzyr8up83v0rlf64txcmq0sh8agv7aury4a3qtgnsj58k0jq8uxua068tv9fc <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs879mhq6kkuzh2wk57xdzanl76uem8d7hlyjd7v4a4jcm4u88d8ygpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5rctxkn" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>RabbitHoleRecap</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…txkn</span>)</a></span> ...

The most rigorous and devastating blows came from the Austrian School of economics – but the strange part is that hardly anyone is taught the winning arguments.<br/><br/>Carl Menger’s subjective theory of value, developed in the 1870s, undermined the labour theory of value on which Marx built his entire system. Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk then delivered a systematic demolition of Marx’s economics, exposing the contradictions in the theory of surplus value and the so-called transformation problem. Ludwig von Mises went further still, demonstrating that rational economic calculation is impossible under socialism because without private property and market prices there is no way to allocate resources efficiently. Friedrich Hayek later extended this into the knowledge problem: the information required to run a complex economy is dispersed and cannot be centralised. And Murray Rothbard showed how Marx misunderstood the nature of capitalism by replacing voluntary exchange and entrepreneurial creation with a false theory of exploitation based on labour value and class conflict.<br/><br/>These were not minor objections. They struck at the theoretical foundations of Marxism and, in the case of Mises and Hayek, correctly predicted the chronic waste, shortages, and eventual collapse of socialist economies. History confirmed their arguments on a civilisational scale.<br/><br/>Yet in universities, media and political debate, these critiques remain marginal. Marx is still widely taught as a serious economist and social theorist. His errors are softened, historicised, or treated as interesting starting points. The Austrian responses are rarely given equal weight. Students can pass through entire programmes in the social sciences without encountering Böhm-Bawerk’s critique or Mises’s calculation argument in any depth.<br/><br/>This neglect is not accidental. It reflects a deeper intellectual preference for theories that pathologise markets and legitimise expanded state power. The result is a public discourse that continues to recycle Marxist categories long after their economic foundations were shown to be unsound. The cost of that selective memory is still being paid.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/2b268fcf49b4bee6d3bae679cba9a8eae533c764de9dc3cf13b70cbe95590302.jpg"> </blockquote> 2026-08-09T10:05:36Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsffwyuefzhl2u2rgqsq4pxnxkpjlqjszey6fqccu5vhw9gdakwrgszyr8up83v0rlf64txcmq0sh8agv7aury4a3qtgnsj58k0jq8uxua06nejfn5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs887fshjyl22pr8ew88zsk598ftujv7vnuh7l09pfsgek38lpq2kczvzz93'>nevent1q…zz93</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is this meant as some walking dead reference to BIP 110? <br/><br/> 2026-08-09T01:29:33Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsdye0xfj484naxu3anv8yvjpw4s8ffy7qdxaz0e9lg0wpm6xarrsszyr8up83v0rlf64txcmq0sh8agv7aury4a3qtgnsj58k0jq8uxua06888lgt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspajcfg5chlqxlnh4wuec5jv587tlcq8ga9h2adwn926yn3qsaxpcth7xn3'>nevent1q…7xn3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Okay, thanks.

Prices are lower. The value of savings and the currency is higher. Debt is effectively eliminated. People have confidence in the future, and can plan and invest, and spend their time and energy with the efficiency of honest price signals. A renaissance.<br/><br/>If you are a Bitcoin Maximilist, this is the reality for which you advocate -- i.e., Bitcoin&#39;s issuance decreases at 16% per year compound. We are advocating for Depression, as the only means with which to properly restore prosperity for all. <br/><br/>In doing so, we are taking on the world&#39;s most powerful influences and effects. <br/><br/>It is a huge idea. It is the biggest social experiment of our time, requiring super-human courage, the type of conviction that Satoshi showed by never selling a coin -- and maybe more.<br/><br/>Just thought it useful that we not lose sight of the enormity of the challenge, but also the reward.

When challenged on his refusal, he noted that he and his company did the right thing and didnt need to virtue signal with some pledge (ie, there was no way this CEO, who gre up in farm country, was coming under Jamie&#39;s thumb or allow Jamie problems to taint his legacy in anyway). <br/><br/>Jamie is not part of the solution.
