## Log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This past month I read through Jeff Booth's [The Price of Tomorrow](https://b-ok.xyz/book/5521985/be464d). It was an ok
|
||||||
|
read. I must confess I was very hyped about it since Jeff's appeareances in different interviews and podcasts are
|
||||||
|
great, and everyone and their mother say that the book is brilliant, but I was not that impressed. I felt the book
|
||||||
|
covered the idea that we are heading towards a tremendously deflationary era interestingly, but there were many other
|
||||||
|
contents which felt like dull, average-business-magazine ideas, like the section on AI. I also felt a bit disappointed
|
||||||
|
because Jeff makes a great point on how deflation poses a societal challenge since our current distribution of wealth
|
||||||
|
through salaried labour will break down and we don't have an alternative for that now, but didn't really discuss much
|
||||||
|
what could be done about that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actively reading on ideas about deflation put it in the background on my mind and lately I kept on seeing things in my
|
||||||
|
daily life and somehow relating them to deflation. A few days ago, I was watching TV news and they pulled some charts
|
||||||
|
with the [demographic pyramids](https://www.populationpyramid.net/europe/2022/) of a few countries. As it tends to be
|
||||||
|
with these sections, the message was rather alarmist, warning about how the pension systems of a few countries in
|
||||||
|
Western Europe would become unsustainable (_if only these demographic changes could be foreseen decades ahead, maybe
|
||||||
|
then governments could have smoothly pivoted the pension systems to more adequate schemes instead of dooming future
|
||||||
|
generations to be left holding the bag..._) and how the economy would stop growing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This desire for the population to grow constantly has always puzzled me. Why is it desirable at all? A friend of mine
|
||||||
|
and I used to end up stuck at traffic jams and we would joke about how our city would be so much friendly if we only
|
||||||
|
had half the people around. I guess there are many things nowadays which can only be sustained if the population growth
|
||||||
|
rate stays positive, but is it truly negative if they break down? Or is it just that sort of positive destruction that
|
||||||
|
Austrian economics defends as healthy because it re-allocates resources into the right ventures?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I guess I need to get my hands on a book about demographics now... Thanks for reading and I'll see you around next
|
||||||
|
month.

- Discuss the following quote from the Fiat Standard
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> While many
|
||||||
|
people would be tempted to exit fiat debt entirely and shift to holding hard
|
||||||
|
bitcoin savings, the continued existence and wide availability of fiat debt
|
||||||
|
will offer a strong incentive to borrow fiat and use it to accumulate bitcoin.
|
||||||
|
One of the smartest and most far-seeing analysts of bitcoin, Pierre
|
||||||
|
Rochard, had identified this phenomenon as early as 2013, outlining how
|
||||||
|
bitcoin allows investors worldwide to carry out a speculative attack on all
|
||||||
|
national currencies similar to what George Soros and beneficiaries of low
|
||||||
|
interest rate lending have been doing to weak national currencies for
|
||||||
|
decades, with spectacular success. The speculative attack strategy is to
|
||||||
|
borrow the weak currency, and use the proceeds to buy the stronger
|
||||||
|
currency. As the borrowing of the weak currency causes an increase in its
|
||||||
|
supply, selling it to buy the strong currency causes a decrease in demand
|
||||||
|
for it, and results in the decline of its value next to the stronger currency.
|
||||||
|
This reduces the value of the loan the attacker owes, and increases the
|
||||||
|
value of the currency he holds, a highly lucrative combination. With bitcoin
|
||||||
|
a harder currency than all national currencies, it could serve as the perfect
|
||||||
|
launchpad for attacks against national currencies. It is a natural evolution
|
||||||
|
of the interaction between the two forms of money: hard bitcoin is
|
||||||
|
optimized for appreciating as it is held, while fiat is optimized for devaluing
|
||||||
|
as it is inflated and lent. The likelihood of speculative attacks casts doubt
|
||||||
|
on the monetary upgrade scenario discussed above. How long can fiat
|
||||||
|
survive if people can keep inflating its supply by borrowing it to buy harder
|
||||||
|
bitcoin? We have never seen a similar situation and it is hard to estimate how this will unfold.

To increase highly the availability while only slightly compromising the confidentiality, a grid backup of the seed

exists. The pattern copy is stored in a gmail to myself with subject: "aqui los barquitos". The dictionary copy is

stored in my Onedrive, under Personal > Billar.

To generate the pattern:
|

- Get the seed.

- Get the dictionary copy.
|
||||||
|
- Find each word in the grid.
|
