The Game Theory Guys

@CIPSInsight @TWSPartners The idea by @TWSPartners is to use Prisoner's Dilemma game theory with carbon credits to achieve emission targets. At The Game Theory Guys, we believe John Nash's Ideal Money proposal can reach a "Nash bargain" through the independence of irrelevant alternatives bargaining axiom.

@Giovann35084111 Here's Satoshi on the long tail and power law: #selection-63.438-63.586" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptog…

#Bitcoin nice article on power laws in social networks. Bitcoin adoption is a power law, not a S curve like 99.99 % of Bitcoiners influencers, including big names like Lyn Alden, claim it is (often without evidence). So it is important to understand why adoption follows a power law in Bitcoin. dougshapiro.medium.com/power-laws-in-…

@brc20punk "novelty in the details and in terms of the context and the times" Is he referencing the genesis block message? (The Times)

@kendallbaker Minimax is decision theory, Moneyball is data-driven analysis - we could generalise this in terms of win/lose games in that both assume some sort of desire of ignorance in the counter-party. But with complete information, are we approaching a "Nash program" ?

@kendallbaker Recently wondered if John von Neumann's Minimax theory is better than Moneyball? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Tomorrow marks the 21st anniversary of "Moneyball" being published. The book changed sports forever... and the movie has one of my favorite scenes ever. Chills, everytime.

Ludwig Wittgenstein gatecrashed John Maynard Keynes' honeymoon, and he wouldn't leave for six days

@Sam__Enright Keynes regarded Wittgenstein as God goodreads.com/quotes/1225255…

@FarCueCunce Isn't this the basis of a Ulysses contract? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_p…

Thought experiment. Would you be okay with being subjugated for your own good? Explain your decision in comments

@brc20punk @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz I see #Bitcoin as more of an axiomatic design - and it's public domain that Satoshi asked for help with the coding - but we also know Nash had enough understanding of C++ to kick it off. Will let you know the article link. It's currently with the Bitcoin Magazine editorial guys.

@brc20punk @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz This is how Satoshi framed the Birthday Attack and #Bitcoin if you've not already read. I like the "eat crow" comment in it later down the page, as if he's an older computer scientist and got his crow and pigeon metaphors mixed up? 😆 satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcoint…

@brc20punk I like the pigeon metaphor - not thought of it like that @markgoodw_in @brian_trollz with respect to the Birthday Attack #Bitcoin ☝️

@dg115511 @WaterTheRust Ironic, was reading the obituary of Francis Coppola's wife earlier this morning - apparently she made a documentary on the film which ran out of actors, money, and helicopters.

@ pub

@brc20punk A summary of Leslie Lamport's Byzantine Generals' Problem might also be relevant here, and also the Birthday Attack - both of which Satoshi addressed in various postings with regards to his #Bitcoin design.

@dg115511 It's just you truebites.co.uk/blogs/latest-n…

Is it just me or are steak/beef sausages now non-existent?

@WaterTheRust It was a reoccurring theme for him I think x.com/famous_ideal/s…

@WaterTheRust Didn't know Ghengis originated that one? 😃 x.com/famous_ideal/s…
