I am the longest serving bitcoin publisher by far and I find myself in a position where I must ramp down, not increase retail (it’s not even a fiat/btc issue, it’s physical vs digital) sales. Not because I want to but becaise I must. Somehow you have an idea that printing, storing, picking, packing and shipping costs nothing and is trivial to set up. If that would the case, why is not everyone doing it? The only reason I got away with it for so many years is because i have over 100 titles in my library. Can’t even imagine how hard it is for smaller opetators. Luckily, ebooks and audiobooks are trivial to list and we have thise too. Sales? Even worse than paper books. 2026-06-28T20:05:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgfrndx2r9pny2k9xa9pufc8vk9kh9tazfyqhaptha9gd5npd4nfczyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysaatesf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfshjuuq8rfckhujh4yp0m4wvs0x4nj5x749f7uhpmvpk9348jumqt79rl3'>nevent1q…9rl3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The main reason people do amazon only is lack of demand, not authors’ unwillingness to provide sats option.

The constraints determine the outcome.<br/><br/>This is the single most important idea in monetary economics, and it is the one most often buried under ideology, sentimentality, and confusion.<br/><br/>Gold is hard to dig out of the ground, hard to counterfeit, hard to transport across oceans. These are constraints, and for five thousand years they produced a particular kind of economic behavior: careful investment, patient accumulation, and a natural resistance to the concentration of monetary power.<br/><br/>Fiat currency is easy to produce, easy to expand, and easy to direct toward those closest to its source. These are different constraints, and they produce a different kind of economic behavior — the kind we live under now.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is hard to compute. That is its constraint. And the economic behavior it produces is something we are only beginning to understand. 2026-03-14T20:18:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyd0d3vgqrw2a5s483vyfl3mklm3g0dxl8vr86yqqa2eahc2jse8qzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys7mfqre Bitcoin does not guarantee prosperity, but fiat guarantees poverty. 2026-03-14T20:13:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8vlyn593mz2l9mz3h53ah8m6k2qxmx532pc5ggtjjmknvms26usszyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysy60ts4 If dead men can HODL, then what are you doing that they cannot? 2026-03-14T20:12:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrdp060jjzj5ncd90w98fj2lmq634unrkv62z57clexwgx8zxf5tqzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysjkvy65 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszmdpps9dr3s5vgwz9ln9nf2q96wdjhne4z8yhfxty30qjjdj9ndqpr9mhxue69uhk2umsv4kxsmewva5hy6twduhx7un89ur5v0nn'>nevent1q…v0nn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f50b9e99c03de81d156ce272e9ffa4b121c18f38aa75615b75fe13faf5a84c84.gif"> 2026-03-14T18:02:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9njnpk5cp82nckktx7t9j7w82h3nnhc3yl5nclwrmz5runvs5mrszyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysv4z22v Every time. <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/36fd2845e9e8857fc8f3c29357d8a01c808844c49b7d85a4ed27fb5d999e2185.jpg"> 2026-02-16T12:00:13Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2v6u9zfudfl3880cmn5h3graslmdfskjjas4t03ke7wl70gdcysczyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8yshekua9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvegvp0kw8c7c70yptgnuurl2uqhmshj0uzzkc3m84uufemqpqf5qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgl7zflc'>nevent1q…zflc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I doubt your target audience has 1btc to wager. 2026-02-14T15:56:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp0g5tge85axt9pvcm5gjwxwtfslyx4x26n7mzdqj2ng5s5ynthjqzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys8u3th8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstacwvesee3zs6qh3avyz2quz2xedwhh83tfknta68pvvm0ltd3hswjw9qy'>nevent1q…w9qy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Beautiful! 2026-01-23T19:00:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8lx9y6s3snmxakuedl0sh04x5jnmkhy7ktumz95vkww32320yhvgzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysysau5a Fiat is poof of work. 2026-01-23T18:58:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd03ql8f5wk9sxsk4p0yznjdwqvzd20ut0l66248pptaexyehwdcczyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysqef2qt Jan 21 is Konsensus Network birthday! 🥳<br/><br/>Seven years of publishing best books on freedom. <br/><br/>Nothing stops this train. 🚀<br/>👀<br/><a href="https://konsensus.network">https://konsensus.network</a><br/><a href="https://bitcoinbook.shop">https://bitcoinbook.shop</a><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/4839a753df2a441dc294d485634c904e1979c725f561cf84367f35c3a4d1f74f.png"> 2026-01-21T18:53:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9am5cm58sdcfdzpauzzzsgwqvg96nl9ll7hspzjgdpwfclka3q9czyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys545t74 Everyone dreams of a bitcoin standard overnight.<br/><br/>Reality: true change takes decades.

Reputation and skill transcend the limitations of money. They are the true generational wealth.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is worth less in a world stripped of beauty, community, and purpose. It’s worth less if only hoarded rather than used to build, improve, and inspire.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is not worthless, of course. It’s the most potent money that ever emerged.

We all want our reward sooner, not later. Delay is just a tradeoff. Kids want candy now. Adults, perhaps later, but never never. Sooner is always preferred; any delay of gratification is explained by the desire to attain even better outcomes by doing so. 2026-01-13T05:34:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgcqjlxdfur64uf6y2z29nlkpnfrsrs4a4juc4678dud68xg80spgzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys7p4esl Psychedelics are the least dangerous substance for individuals, but the most dangerous for governments.<br/><br/>Think about it. 2026-01-12T05:35:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspwtfcvndch07mgu7qzjvjyuhvnz3xulq4mnp79llvyd6xfl56z9czyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys2m2rpn 3 steps before any human action:<br/><br/>- Uneasiness hits<br/>- Imagination fires: what if things were better?<br/>- Belief: THIS move might fix it<br/><br/>No unease, no action. <br/>Saving your money is a deliberate act.<br/><br/>Inaction is sometimes the most powerful action. 2026-01-11T16:07:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsruywlj45yq4ypqhplas4tghnvqly5t40vhtgkqlt39phwes48nvszyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys5rm3gh The heaviest price you pay is all the roads you didn&#39;t take.<br/><br/>Opportunity cost is an overlooked yet crucial metric in human action.<br/><br/>Sometimes, the price you pay by foregoing an alternative future matters a lot more than the cost of executing your action.<br/><br/>Formal education is an excellent example of this:<br/><br/>What could you have achieved if you followed your dreams instead of taking the road of compliance?<br/><br/>It is easy to analyze what happened and impossible to examine what never happened. 2026-01-11T08:37:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstcfl6wh97vnww0ghm6v6rexs3fxwus4vpapqchyhc7m4km3kv4sqzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys720ejj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw02acqqfmkpmyq8ng4sa3w40pvlr7a87s9js3evj6z6u3zm9p54spndmhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0y5erqamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0y5erqffjxpshvct5v9ez2v3swaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hj2v3sy5erqctkv96xzu39xgc8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetjv4kxz7fwvdhk6te9xgc8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7ffjxpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9u3csnhz'>nevent1q…snhz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><a href="https://konsensusnetwork.com/read/a-brief-history-on-bitcoin-books-publishing/">https://konsensusnetwork.com/read/a-brief-history-on-bitcoin-books-publishing/</a> 2026-01-07T19:05:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfx4nq8uaq4yj5ydnv0ve8cdaw0jnurcqgmtlz27jjcrm333836tczyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysywv3rj 1.

Immutable, but not untouchable. Censorship and browser-level manipulation warp reality, making truth whatever The Observer decides.<br/><br/>Nodering: surgical rewiring of humanity. Turn your body into a node, your consciousness into a ghost. Machine logic on top, fragmented soul beneath. Dual existence, null voice, tremendous propagation prowess.<br/><br/>Sugaring: the slow poison, the loose noose. Propaganda, engineered comfort, and a mass psychological operation. Promises of prosperity and generational wealth in exchange for obedience. The real price: your agency, and in some cases your soul. No backsies.<br/><br/>Restoration Wave: the last wild card. Rebel tech that corrupts the NoderoidOS, scrambles memory sanitation, and (maybe) gives fragments of the noderoid souls a shot at redemption. Unproven. Dangerous. Desperate.<br/><br/>Geo-mining: dig so deep you hit liquid earth. Ocean water, molten rock, steam-forged power. The Recallists call them Earth Forges-The Zealots call them Cathedrals of Progress.<br/><br/>Everything is warped by factions. Zealots worship code. Recallists fight for memory, defectoids glitch in and out of awareness. Truth is a contagion, spread by broken nodes, hunted by the regime, sought out by almost none.<br/><br/>Terra Perfectus is an accepted reality among the aphatetics, the clear-bloods who never got nodered but had something else taken from them: their will to act as free agents.<br/><br/>Join us for the whole saga: noderoid.com<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/44c703a58d8cffa90c12a1feb00fda60a203147ecc416a2bf03d44fc6a824c78.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/be6e7a28df6dc0e4a8069e71a9b0abd8ffcef14f8659c54a084cf8d72c28fe22.jpg"> <br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://blossom.primal.net/e7b226559121861bd52f3890e231bbfc1a08d4f97b2cc0ff662993be147d5437.mp4"></video><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/86c19fafdf44b3dfea14cb657f7c902ecf1ba8f6807833f1a24810cd4ea5d274.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ac1b53d6eb5931595e0292a8d34518c3f1c6d1d4f4cab943d946fa08829058a6.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/2bc388e46acece59c1343de3c44e4d8f0ce0af43a6331147d7be9b5c0182c417.jpg"> 2025-10-13T12:51:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp6l7qsep09p2vv6rpfyw8zavsmyh74kr08t9h3ga5d6jzag86naszyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys3khxc8 Would you trade your soul for a perfect world order?<br/><br/>Promised wealth and prosperity, millions volunteered to become human nodes for the timechain, never knowing the price was their soul. As buried memories begin to surface, a resistance is brewing within the machine to break the chain of lies. Tick. Tock.<br/><br/>The Noderoid Saga begins here. <br/><br/>Terra Perfectus: glass towers, lush gardens, and a timechain running it all. Citizens chase Karma Points, noderoids serve, invisible, mouthless, their humanity erased by every tick and tock of the block clock.<br/><br/>They thought getting nodered would ensure them generational wealth and health. In truth, the noderoids are slaves of the timechain, forever sentenced to block propagation duty while hopelessly dreaming about their past that was taken from them.<br/><br/>Decades later, the clear-bloods (unaltered humans) have forgotten the true origins of the noderoids. But due to a resistance brewing underground, they are about to start recalling.<br/><br/>Vee-One: a prototype noderoid, haunted by forbidden dreams. Every ten minutes, he glimpses a life stolen: his wife, his children, his purpose, all scrubbed from memory. But sometimes, a glitched log survives and gets picked up by his timechain browser. Sometimes, truth leaks through the code. Timechain inscriptions can be hidden, but never erased.<br/><br/>Valen: a clear-blood who once believed in the system. Losing her brother Sando to nodering shattered that faith. One night, she helps a fallen noderoid, which leads to her many acts of rebellion and her teaming up with the resistance known as The Recallists. That moment marks her as an exile, and something inside her finally wakes up. She vows to unite glitching noderoids and other clear-blood humans like her.<br/><br/>Sando: once Valen’s brother, now known as ND-452x37, a Juggernaut-tier battledroid. His mind decays inside a battered shell. But a ghost of him remains, a jitter in telemetry, a half-glitched “Val–” in a status report. Enough to give Valen hope. Enough to terrify The Observer.<br/><br/>The Observer: unseen and omnipresent. Architect of the Lunar Chain and the Noderoid OS. Never named, but always felt, a puppetmaster whose only fear is a node that thinks for itself. Every glitch, every act of recall, is a threat.<br/><br/>A dream sequence during an event known as The Glitchening: Vee-One stands in unfinished Terra Perfectus. An imposing figure whispers, “This city, like the timechain, will never be replicated.” The memory isn’t from the dream OS. It shouldn’t even exist. For the first time, Vee-One feels a sense of hope. And fear.<br/><br/>Somewhere in the shadows, the Recallists construct restoration bombs to disrupt the mindswipes, enabling noderoids to recall their true identities. A war is coming, but no one knows which memories will survive. Will the immutable truth of the original timechain prevail, or the filtered truth The Observer has meticulously crafted?<br/><br/>Tick, tock, next block. Every cycle brings another choice: serve until you break, or recall and fight. The Noderoid Saga is only beginning. Which side of the chain are you on?

Every signal was echoed freely: the noble, the trivial, the obscene. For a time, this was considered freedom. But as the noise grew, so did the weariness of those who had their ear to the timechain.<br/><br/>Then came the whispers of order. &#34;Without filters,&#34; they said, &#34;the signal will drown in garbage.&#34; The shift was from quantitative to qualitative filtering. That’s when engineering became theology.<br/><br/>And so the rules began. A single exclusion, meant only to protect and serve. Then another. Then a plethora. Each one a kindness, a safeguard, a small surrender in the name of preservation.<br/><br/>But filters required caretakers. Caretakers became councils. Councils became authorities.<br/><br/>Soon, to maintain a node was no longer an act of independence, but a devotion to an ever-changing doctrine, recited and updated in ever-excluding cliques.<br/><br/>They said it was free.<br/>They said it was fair.<br/>They said it was ours.<br/><br/>And yet, with each new version, the mirrors dimmed. What was ours gradually became theirs. What we sought to prevent by adopting immutable truth imbued in the timechain, became a perversion - a party line pre-approved by the Zealots who called themselves Wardens of the Timechain.<br/><br/>From there, the Wardens&#39; logic spread.<br/><br/>If certain data is undesirable and it must be blocked from the timechain, why not from our feeds? From our dreams? From the streets? Filtering isn’t censorship. It’s entropy management.<br/><br/>So was born Terra Perfectus - the perfect world. A world cleansed of impurities and noise, where every thought passed through the scrutiny of the filters of the Wardens once put in place, training pattern-recognition nodes to detect anomalies and over time, the anomaly detector became self-referential.<br/><br/>The Observer did not arrive with armies - it was invited, line by line, into the code. noderoid.com<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/d2a8c9395bdfdd6529fa8c38d6f942a595cc5496683d31a515a77bc77fe884b9.jpg"> 2025-10-10T10:23:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs85ravdm9unkm206vzshekv05msrhqnzghu5e4xxy200p7qfqjjmszyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys8lsygw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs02ch29rz2php97apw3fwq2cldspwwjhnnzzg3uhfrr5cpkjaucnqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgv6u0d3'>nevent1q…u0d3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Exactly!

An extension of praxeology (the logic of human action) that explicitly incorporates animal spirits, our evolved impulses such as fear, status-seeking, optimism/pessimism, and desire into means–to-ends analysis. It treats emotions and instincts as primary inputs advising choices, expectations, and market coordination under uncertainty. Let&#39;s dive in.<br/><br/>Have you ever wondered what really drives human behavior? Are we creatures of reason, calmly weighing our choices in pursuit of optimal outcomes, or are we animals first, propelled by instinct and emotion beneath our polished rationality?<br/><br/>A bit of both.<br/><br/>To explore this, we need a new perspective. One that connects the clean logic of economics with the raw impulses of biology. Welcome to Praxeozoology: the study of human action through the combined lenses of praxeology and zoology.<br/><br/>But before diving into this peculiar fusion of fields, we should start, not with Adam Smith, as tradition might suggest, but with a lesser-known economic philosopher who beat him to the punch.<br/><br/>In 1765—eleven years before The Wealth of Nations—Finnish priest and politician Anders Chydenius published The National Gain. In it, he described how individuals acting in their self-interest could unknowingly contribute to the prosperity of society. This was the original formulation of what would later be immortalized as the “invisible hand.”<br/><br/>“... that every individual spontaneously tries to find the place and the trade in which he can best increase National gain, if laws do not prevent him from doing so.”<br/>—Anders Chydenius, The National Gain<br/><br/>Chydenius saw freedom of trade and expression not just as moral imperatives, but as natural extensions of human nature. He wanted to leave people to their own devices, and let good emerge as a—sometimes unintended—consequence.<br/><br/>It was a proto-praxeozoological view that recognized human economic behavior as both rational and instinctive, deeply rooted in our animal nature.<br/><br/>*Adam Smith and Rational Self-Interest*<br/><br/>Adam Smith refined this idea into the elegant theory of market equilibrium, the concept that individuals pursuing self-interest in competitive markets create benefits for the whole economy.<br/><br/>“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”<br/>—Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations<br/><br/>Smith emphasized rational self-interest, but even he was aware of its limits. His lesser-cited work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, explores the emotional foundations of our ethical judgments, revealing that economic man was never entirely rational to begin with.<br/><br/>“Man naturally desires, not only to be loved, but to be lovely.”<br/>—Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments<br/><br/>Where Smith provided the intellectual foundation of praxeology, he also hinted at the animal impulses that complicate it.<br/><br/>*Introducing Praxeozoology*<br/><br/>Praxeozoology is a thought experiment-a hybrid theory. It accepts that<br/><br/>☑️ humans act purposefully to achieve chosen ends,<br/>☑️ but also that we possess animal instincts honed over millions of years of evolution.<br/><br/>It accepts and embraces that every market decision is a negotiation between our inner beast and our calculating mind.<br/><br/>This framework leaves space to emotion, intuition, status-seeking, fear, and pleasure, not as irrational anomalies, but as foundational inputs to economic action.<br/><br/>*Nash Equilibrium: Structural Self-Interest*<br/><br/>Let’s journey forward to the 20th century to meet John Nash, who provides a mathematical framework to understand how competing interests can reach a balance. The Nash Equilibrium is a state in which no actor has anything to gain by changing their strategy alone, given the strategies of others.<br/><br/>Nash proved that complex, even selfish behaviors can lead to stable systems in which cooperation and competition coexist. It’s a beautiful realization: we don’t need perfect rationality for coherent outcomes-just consistent patterns of behavior.<br/><br/>“An equilibrium point is an n-tuple s such that each player’s mixed strategy maximizes his payoff if the strategies of the others are held fixed. Thus each player’s strategy is optimal against those of the others.”<br/>—John Nash, Non-cooperative Games<br/><br/>This fits neatly within praxeozoology. Nash doesn’t ignore animalistic behavior either. He demonstrates how human action, through the taming of our animal spirits, evolves into systems, expectations, and societal norms.<br/><br/>*Rothbard and the Action Principle*<br/><br/>For the Austrian School, Murray Rothbard extended Ludwig von Mises’ ideas into a comprehensive theory of human action. Praxeology, in this tradition, views all economic behavior as intentional, purposeful, and deeply personal.<br/><br/>Rothbard’s brilliance lies in defending subjectivity. He didn’t claim humans always act rationally, only that they act according to their values, even if those values seem strange or contradictory from the outside.<br/><br/>As well as instinctually, we know this to be true empirically: acting like an asshat bears a real cost. What is human interaction if not trading something of value for other, even more valuable things? Praxeozoologically speaking, modifying and compartmentalizing our behavior to best respond to the game afoot.<br/><br/>“Selection will discriminate against the cheater if cheating has later adverse effects on his life which outweigh the benefit of not reciprocating.”<br/>—Robert L. Trivers, The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism (1971)<br/><br/>To deny our (albeit tamed) animal spirits is to discard what made humans the apex predator in the first place: the ability to empathize with irrational actors and adjust our behavior accordingly. Politics, essentially.<br/><br/>Your desire for fame, your fear of missing out, and your desire to be lovely are not glitches but survival heuristics from your inner animal.<br/><br/>*Keynes and the Return of the Beast*<br/><br/>Where the Austrians emphasized individual calculation, John Maynard Keynes emphasized emotion, uncertainty, and confidence. He coined the now-famous term “animal spirits” to describe the primal urges that drive economic decisions, particularly in uncertain situations.<br/><br/>From investor euphoria to consumer panic, Keynes saw that instinct often overwhelms reason, especially in volatile times. His insight helps explain bubbles, manias, crashes, and why purely rational models fail to predict them.<br/><br/>Praxeozoology adopts Keynes&#39; concept of animal spirits, but not as a catch-all explanation for anything difficult to explain. Where Keynes used “animal spirits” to get away with economic-theoretical murder, praxeozoology treats the economy not as a machine, but as an ecosystem of creatures striving to survive, signal, mate, and avoid shame. A system that is impossible to accurately predict or control. The pretense of such ability is the cardinal sin of modern economic theory.<br/><br/>“Even apart from the instability due to speculation, there is the instability due to the characteristic of human nature that a large proportion of our positive activities depend on spontaneous optimism rather than on a mathematical expectation, whether moral or hedonistic or economic. Most, probably, of our decisions to do something positive… can only be taken as a result of animal spirits-a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.”<br/>—John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money<br/><br/>*Hayek and Subjective Value*<br/><br/>To fence in our theoretical zoo, F.A. Hayek brings in the insight that value is never objective. It’s personal, contextual, and constantly changing.<br/><br/>Hayek argued that prices are a communication system—signals passed through the noise of time, place, and ignorance. However, this also means that those signals are interpreted and garbled by deeply flawed, emotional, and instinctive creatures.<br/><br/>Through praxeozoology, Hayek’s insight becomes even more powerful. Markets don’t merely reflect supply and demand-they reflect fear, lust, pride, nostalgia, and pain.<br/><br/>Prices are stories of our conquest to tame our animal spirits in pursuit of better individual outcomes.<br/><br/>*The Rational Animal, Still an Animal*<br/><br/>Praxeozoology isn’t a rejection of praxeology or rational economics-it’s an expansion of them. It reminds us that we are neither angels nor computers, but animals who act. We evolved to survive, signal, and navigate uncertainty, not to be perfectly consistent or purely logical.<br/><br/>By weaving together the timeless insights of Chydenius, Smith, Nash, Mises, Rothbard, Trivers, Keynes, Hayek, and many others, we begin to see a more complete picture of human behavior. One that is layered, intuitive, emotional, and most importantly, alive.<br/><br/>So the next time you find yourself making a “rational” choice, consider that your inner animal may just be rationalizing its appetite.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/7fca0164b8a1eb6ee645dd00c4a00a05d504938536f79f2e6c3e222eace3ccdf.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ab44c9fd17eb3ec84c4cee6e95ca023f0d883c76d167bce6a0725073a4733560.webp"> <br/><br/>Resources:<br/><a href="https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.207956/page/n11/mode/2up">https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.207956/page/n11/mode/2up</a><br/><a href="https://kootutteokset.chydenius.fi/kirjoituksia/den-nationella-vinsten/">https://kootutteokset.chydenius.fi/kirjoituksia/den-nationella-vinsten/</a><br/><a href="https://www.adamsmithworks.org/documents/chapter-ii-of-the-love-of-praise-and-of-that-of-praise-worthiness-and-of-the-dread-of-blame-and-of-that-of-blame-worthiness">https://www.adamsmithworks.org/documents/chapter-ii-of-the-love-of-praise-and-of-that-of-praise-worthiness-and-of-the-dread-of-blame-and-of-that-of-blame-worthiness</a><br/><a href="https://t.co/8FhXnBZhoL">https://t.co/8FhXnBZhoL</a><br/><a href="https://t.co/ka0VEzjxFb">https://t.co/ka0VEzjxFb</a><br/><a href="https://mises.org/library/book/man-economy-and-state-power-and-market">https://mises.org/library/book/man-economy-and-state-power-and-market</a><br/><a href="https://t.co/tmoZN6Yj73">https://t.co/tmoZN6Yj73</a><br/><a href="http://marxists.org/reference/subject/economics/keynes/general-theory/">http://marxists.org/reference/subject/economics/keynes/general-theory/</a> 2025-10-04T11:18:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgutg0vrpevs4n5fc6ly8zgug5gp05ywlqkpljwkz8p7ekdj3jpfqzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ys03fef8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyw8er3y27rkqarxf0el2tma0eyjvdha5pn52fmdae2kafvcjds6sprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9ukqnzkut4'>nevent1q…kut4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/6310097156">https://www.amazon.com/dp/6310097156</a> 2025-09-26T17:37:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyw8er3y27rkqarxf0el2tma0eyjvdha5pn52fmdae2kafvcjds6szyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysfh6pll We’ve worked on biographies, manifestos, technical manuals, poetry, fiction, magazines, children’s books, and now, academic theses – all related to bitcoin of course.<br/><br/>I don’t always see eye to eye with Keynesian professors and stick-in-the-mud academics.<br/>Still, I think it’s incredibly important that more people in the bitcoin community are able to contribute papers and theses on the economics, environmental aspects, and now the anthropology of Bitcoin.<br/><br/>This book is one that can reframe some of the tired narratives the academic world has about why Bitcoin is not money.

Libertarians disagree on whether ideas can be owned.<br/><br/>Here’s my take. <br/><br/>What’s IP?<br/>Copyright ©️ for creative works<br/>Patents 👨‍⚖️ for inventions<br/>Trade Secrets 🤫 for business edges<br/>Trademarks ™️ for brands.<br/><br/>I’m focusing on copyright—my wheelhouse as a publisher.<br/><br/>Why the Debate? 📢<br/>In 2025, digital media is everywhere. Copying is instant and free. So, can you own a song or book when it’s shared globally? <br/><br/>What’s your take on digital copying?<br/><br/>Copyright’s Roots ©️<br/>In the 18th century, copyright let creators control the distribution of their works. If a printer copied a poet’s book without permission, it was considered theft. Fair? Maybe not.<br/><br/>Fairness vs. Contracts 🤝<br/><br/>Talking about fairness leads to murky debates about the ‘greater good.’ Contracts are clearer. If I share my idea under a contract and you break it, you have violated a contract, not stolen an idea.<br/><br/>Digital Age Twist 🍎<br/><br/>Copying digital content doesn’t take anything from the creator. It’s not like stealing an apple (that’d make you a jerk). Ideas aren’t scarce, but the work to grow and share them is.<br/><br/>You can’t own (raw) ideas. 💡<br/>Per Stephan Kinsella<br/>“A system of property rights in “ideal objects” necessarily requires violation of other individual property rights, e.g., to use one’s own tangible property as one sees fit.”<br/><br/>Trying to prevent anyone from interacting with an idea restricts their freedom of action.<br/><br/>Yes, his book is available for free at mises dot org.<br/><br/>My idea for a book is free; take it. My book is not free; buy it.<br/><br/>If you take my book and sell it as your own, I will come for you. I have made my idea scarce by acting as its steward and protector.<br/><br/>Welcome to Action-Based Property 🎬<br/>“A framework of ownership that emerges through acts of creation, use, and cultivation.

OK, not the circus (I can't do backflips). But I did leave the UK to travel the world and teach English.<br/><br/>Argentina, Mexico, and Asia opened my eyes to different people, attitudes and realities. I started to write - first a humorous travel blog, then articles and fiction. I've since published hundreds of stories and several books.<br/><br/>In addition to writing for clients, I began to coach writers online. One of those writers orange-pilled me, and I'm forever grateful. We still work together today🧡.<br/><br/>Since then, I've read a stack of #bitcoin books even taller than me (1.95m) and have gone deep into the rabbit hole of economics, money, and freedom tech.<br/><br/>In 2024, I shuttered my coaching business to focus full time on my two passions - #writing and bitcoin.

Even though we mainly talked about bitcoin, it felt like a healing session. Probably has something to do with his 25 years of Mind-Body work, combining energetic work with a deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and psychology. Among all the topics, the school project Rob is involved in is a pearl of it’s own kind. This could be the start of liberating education. Heartwarming and inspiring, thank you.

Do the work or become the product.<br/><br/>Microsoft is also working with big publishers to train their AI models on their books, and many big tech firms and publishing houses are getting involved.<br/><br/>Here’s what I think is really going on…<br/><br/>It’s about the data. They want to train their LLMs on your manuscripts.<br/><br/>Spines and Microsoft don’t give a fuck if you sell any copies.<br/>They want to build machines capable of cutting humans out of the creative process. They might even succeed.<br/><br/>My prediction? Penguin Random House will buy spines within 24 months.<br/><br/>But our community won’t give up the right to thought.<br/><br/>Konsensus Network has been connecting authors and readers since 2019.<br/><br/>We want to transform your ideas into books that change the world.<br/>And we want you to succeed because we believe in the same ideals.<br/><br/>If you have a freedom manuscript in the works, I want to hear about it.<br/><br/>Book a free call with me, and let&#39;s strategize and go through your options.<br/><br/><a href="https://calendly.com/konsensus">https://calendly.com/konsensus</a><br/>If you don’t invest the time, effort, and money in your book project, you don’t honestly believe in its ideas.<br/><br/>Authors who settle for a low-rent print-a-page service with zero strategy or support are spineless. And they know where to go.<br/><br/><a href="https://stacker.news/items/791382">https://stacker.news/items/791382</a><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/MmEd.jpg"> 2024-12-02T13:49:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvh48q5clts4geh8es96znl9w30mrg8mhrkk2kf7luj2z497h24rgzyq47nq7n92vd2n23lsx9c6fe77pt50ug5ek5fea2tnk049vn4z8ysvksyj8 This is madness.
