Rabbit Hole Recap (npub10ut…xdlq)
Hey guys, thanks for all you do in the space! I was just listening to RHR from yesterday and something caught my ear. You mentioned, as you've been consistent with in the past, the idea of altruism as a failed ideal. Later in the podcast you guys both seemed energetic to praise the external injection of capital that initially stimulates these growing circular economies. Am I right that, at least initially, most of these initial injections are usually purely altruistic? I'm thinking specifically about Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Ekasi.
Sorry if this is nit-picking. This view of altruism seems like a slight, but potentially soul-sucking difference between what the older Austrians thought (coercive or dependancy-creating altruism-bad, freely giving out of plenty to folks who physically can't bootstrap themselves-good) and what's popular among a lot of modern bitcoiners. I'm just curious if you've thought through the early circular-economy donor situation or if there's something listeners like myself might need clarity on. Thanks!
