peasants could not pool money and deploy it in a decentralized manner with feudalism

> Ok but we aren’t gonna do that! You will say. But as far as I know no BTC maxi has any vision for how this supposed coordination will work. It’s hopium 

my article outlines my vision for it, haven't seen a response refuting anything from that article yet

what does the global monetary layer have to do with our obligations to the rest of society? the form of money we use doesn't change human nature

> How would Bitcoin help coordinate healthcare infrastructure—something that requires more than financial incentives?

everyone has a financial incentive to support healthcare infrastructure, we just need to design better financing mechanisms

Arguing that people deserve systems that don’t leave them behind to me is not misanthropy or doomerism
