Told that one of these nations was destined to travel around Africa & conquer the main sea trade routes of the world, one would think this prophecy must refer to the vast and ancient civilization with its giant fleets, not the tiny one with small fleets. https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-succeed-or-fail-on-frontier.html …

Bitcoin has or is evolving through several stages of value transfer: 1. small value transfers at layer 1 when Bitcoin was a tiny niche (10,000 BTC for a pizza) 2. larger value txs as wealth flow increases and small txs get priced out of layer 1 3. small value txs at layer 2 https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/936361211280502784 …
