Quite so.
Realized what I have in common with environmentalists, but also why they’re so annoyingly wrong: They are conservationists of what is, whereas they should be conservationists of our potential over time, our cosmic endowment. (From a friend)

There are plenty of ways the El Salvador Bitcoin project could fail, most of which are outside of our control. But one effective way we can mitigate some risks to citizens is to teach them to use Bitcoin directly, and not just through a government-run Bitcoin bank.

Hayek's unfolding rejection of the Hume & neo-Kantian nomothetic picture of knowledge & science began with a neuroscience which refuted Machian phenomenalism and evolved into an endorsement of the undesigned order explanatory problem identified by Smith, Menger, Hume & Darwin.
In the 1950s I recognized that evolution & spontaneous order provide the key to the explanation of complex orders which don't yield to the monocausal & nomothetic approaches to explanation which conquered the world of simple or mechanical phenomena. -- Friedrich Hayek, abridged

After a working week, we would like to summarize several highlights of the whole @Polkadot ecosystem. It is clear that we are getting closer to the parachain auctions, and all the projects are trying very hard to achieve a slot. @KaruraNetwork @polkaworld_org @clover_finance

In this paper, we propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server to generate computational proof of the chronological order of transactions.
