Y voy a llevar como salvoconducto un incunable que atesoro y te va a gustar @Recuenco 😉 Uno de los pocos ejemplares de la novela gráfica "The Hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto" firmado por @AlexPreukschat donde además sale un tal @joobid como parte del ecosistema de Bitcoin hace una década 😎

#POG (Proof of OG) Mi nombre como supporter del primer Comic sobre Bitcoin. Agosto 2014. Además, uno de estos fué subastado dos veces en #LABITCONF ‘14 y ‘15, con firmas de varios OGs de Bitcoin, juntando más de 24 BTC para @BitGiveOrg. @labitconf @RoceloLopes @coinfabrik @AlexPreukschat @conniegallippi

Our main resource for the @weboftrustmap training? Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized digital identity and verifiable credentials by @drummondreed & @AlexPreukschat Basically, our encyclopedia, bedtime reading, and group therapy book all in one. 📖💡

I'd like to recommend a book by @AlexPreukschat and @drummondreed that provided me with a deep understanding of the concept and essence of Self-Sovereign Identity (#SSI)

Honestly, the best part of this podcast for me was meeting @james_monaghan. He's both kind and brilliant. He asked key questions. We both agree on the paradigm shift that @YutingZkorum and I aim to unlock @zkorumhq. This meetup ignited your curiosity? DM me or join our Discord

@GrindHausXBT sorry, Chloe. No reprint was made in English since the first edition. You have it available in other languages linked from bitcoincomic.org

Tis true - hit me up and we can make it happen 👇

IDEOLOGY > GEOGRAPHY I have no beef with @girdley, but the fundamental premise of his thread is completely wrong. Ideology dominates geography. Consider Argentina: incredible geography ruined by terrible ideology. Israel, by contrast, has done very well despite starting with very little. So, 🇮🇱> 🇦🇷. A small tech-savvy nation out-executed a large country with advantageous geography. And this example can be multiplied. 1) Much of Africa and Latin America is gifted with huge swaths of arable land and abundant minerals. Unfortunately, many of these countries currently lack the political and technological organization to harness their resources. 2) By contrast, island states like the UK and Japan with limited natural resources have inscribed their names in history, because they had the internal organization to conduct the Industrial Revolution and the Meiji Restoration. 3) We can go more granular still. North Korea is dark and South Korea is lit because of ideology, not geography[1]. Communism impoverished the North Koreans. Just like it impoverished the East Germans relative to the West Germans. Just like it ruined the once-prosperous island of Cuba. Just like it wrecked every country it captured in the 20th century. Bad ideology dominated great geography. 4) We see this within the US today. Great American cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, gifted with natural beauty, are covered in feces, syringes, and encampments because of bad ideas. Yes, this is more a function of Democrats[2] than Communists, but you get the idea. 5) We see this outside the US as well. Why have India and China recently risen despite having much the same geography that they did 45 years ago? Because they swapped out socialism and communism for capitalism. 6) I mean, this is obvious stuff. It doesn't matter if the US theoretically has natural resources when bad political ideas are blocking Keystone XL, stopping housing construction, and pushing manufacturing overseas. 7) It also should be obvious that good political management was *responsible* for America's geography in the first place. Remember the Monroe Doctrine? The purchase of Alaska? And the Louisiana Purchase? The geography arose from world-class political leadership, not the other way around. And just to put it in perspective, the Louisiana Purchase was about $300M in today's dollars[3]. That's the cost of a San Francisco bus lane[4]. A rich country that spends like this will eventually become poor. 8) That's why at this late hour we need to say nope to cope. No, the Mississippi River isn't going to save you from a sovereign debt crisis[5], anymore than the Moskva River prevented the Soviet collapse. There's no way out but through. Somehow you need to figure out how to get world-class executives once again. It's not about natural resources, it's about political leadership.

We're not going back to 1950. We're going back to the world before 1850.

Lee Kuan Yew wrote a book. From third world to first. Back then he admired San Francisco. But today, history is running in reverse. Going from Singapore to San Francisco… …is from first world to third.
