BTC Prague is way more fun than I expected. Mute this thread if you're not interested in my posts about it...

@raucao I'm pretty sure it already is. Hence why our countries are in massive debt.

@stoic They're still *able* to afford it by issuing more debt.

@raucao Funny thing was that our monetary systems are based on debt without anything to back up its value in the first place.You are trying to resolve a which came first, the chicken, or the egg scenario.

@stoic Not true. They started out backed by gold, with the last and biggest switcharoo happening in 1971.

@raucao That was sound money.This is fiat debt money.Even though they share the same names. They are not the same things anymore. Hence the chicken, or the egg reference.

@stoic The debt came first, then the switcharoo that allowed for infinite, unsustainable debt, for the rich nations to be able to keep exploiting the rest of the world.

This guy makes amazing arm chairs, some of which have legacy fiat notes inlaid on the sides: https://bitchair.store(He'll personally deliver to you within 1200km of Prague.)

Fun fact: I've been paying for plenty of things via #LightningNetwork all day today, and every single transaction was considerably faster than my VISA debit usually is. Feels instant, and we at @kosmos only have a small node with 13 channels open right now.We've come a long way since the reckless days less than 5 years ago!

@raucaoI saw these chairs! They are amazing. They sit very good too. And they have a note of every currency in the world and a booklet with pictures of the notes used and how to find them. I found the 5 euro snippet!
