In summary, when you think about military history, one of the key lessons is: Thebest defense is a good offense (a.k.a. an active defense). A boxer’s best defense is to movefaster and hit harder, so they can’t be hit! It’s continuous adaptation—absorbing yourenemy’s capabilities and reactions, then playing them back at them!

The best defense is a good offense an active defense?

The boxer‘s best defense is to move faster and hit harder .

I’m in favor of small protocol do the minimum

Inflation of the protocol

Adding code is inflation

Code is law

Just don’t crash the bitcoin network!

I am in favor of the minimum

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing our world. AIs are smarter than us, can think
faster,

The antifragility of Bitcoin comes from the fact that everybody in the ecosystem
feels the same pain.

Pain –> ecosystem, organism

Without pain an organism cannot exist

If someone builds a computer

SHA 256

What if a computer gets so powerful that it can crack SHA-256? Who do you think
will notice first? People with $2 trillion at risk, or someone who just wants to solve the
problem so they can crack the world? We’re just going to go to SHA-512. Anybody who’s
studied computer science knows we start with 16, go to 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024, and
so on. When they break that, we’ll flip to another algorithm.
