    Bitcoin wouldn’t be an awful solution to this, but there’s certainly a few better ones, such as

    • Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
    • Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
    • Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
    • A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.


  • Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

    We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.
