You Can't Reinvent Fire

Alex Jones recently asked Max Keiser what can or would rival Bitcoin. Max’s answer was nothing:

You can only create irreproducibility once.

You can never do it again. It is like the wheel: you can only create it once. Once you discover fire, it is fire. It does what it needs to do. I agree with Max.

For those who ask why I like Stacks: I believe Stacks is solving a different problem. Bitcoin fixes money. Stacks fixes apps. ALEX Lab fixes finance.

Same example. Fire is fire.

If someone holds all the flint and tinder — every mechanism used to make fire — I cannot make fire. That is Bitcoin concentrated at a bottleneck. The rest of us could slowly let that supply be siphoned out of society.

If we spread the materials that produce flint and tinder around the globe, no centralized entity can hoard them. That is Stacks: the decentralized programming rails.

If the marketplaces that sell or loan flint and tinder are also decentralized, I am not price-gouged, and I still have access. That is ALEX. We empower the individual, not centralized powerhouses.

I want to do things with my bitcoin. I want to program my bitcoin without centralized custodians or services. I want to put bitcoin to work.

There are cleaner analogies. The point of this one is to show where legacy mechanisms can try to smother the fire — or leech off it.

As always, do your own research.
