I cannot rely to @dergigi ’s (npub1dvx5ervack0pzrfcpvzzngpgj8cngxs052apk88c8g7mf4r789jqf2w0r9) #Habla post on bees, so I will post here via #Damus instead: Last year I went on a bike tour down the Pacific coast and briefly stayed with a beekeeper. Our conversation will stick with me forever. He compared a bee hive to an energy system—an economy of producing, consuming, and storing caloric energy. Following that interaction, I had a lot of silent hours on a bike to think about bees and Bitcoin. My Thoughts: A bee economy can produce excess honey for our consumption only because of their hive mind. Humans, luckily, don't have this hive mind and instead have free will. Money emerged as a technological solution to this trade-off, allowing us to communicate value and produce in excess via specialization of labor—without a hive mind. Therefore, a hyperbitcoinized world would be the most "natural" human economy—the closest we can get to honey bees—as the specialization of labor, and the increase in productivity that follows, would inherently perform better in a monetary system absent of the distortion of fiat—a disruption to the communication of value.
