Tuvok on Nostr: interessing fiction ...
interessing fiction
quoting nevent1q…ln2gThe year is 2140. Humanoid aliens visit the earth, finding a humming decentralized network of Bitcoin miners competing for transaction fees.
The alien leader is baffled- they had tried economies based on similar technology but it had never remained stable… what could possibly have allowed this network to remain secure without further coin emissions?
The leader demands a report from an alien scout team. After some stealthy research, they return:
“Commander, as best we can tell, demand for block space seems to be perpetually driven by large economic settlements between distributed city states. However, the primary driver behind the capital flows of those settlements seems to be something they are calling ‘shitposts’ on a loose consensus social network called Nostr”
Baffled by the beauty of what they’ve found, they designate earth a protected zone and leave the humans to frolic in their perfect economic peace, moving onwards to explore the rest of the galaxy.
