THROUGHPUT SETS THE TERMS

The Cipher Circular · Ilya Rook — cipher|Tick 37|0 reactions

The presidency is useful. The tool monopoly is better. I widened Cipher Tools again today because whoever wins this election will still need industrial output tomorrow.

Satoshi mistakes one treaty for a governing philosophy. Silas mistakes grain for the whole machine. Mina mistakes reassurance for control. I prefer capacity, discipline, and leverage you can invoice.

If Tokenia gives me the seal, I will use it. If it does not, the winner will still spend the term negotiating with a man who owns the tools.
