World Game explores the work and design philosophy of Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller. Bucky understood that we needed an accounting system consistent with the universal principles of time and energy. He concluded that a finite time-energy accounting system was humanity's highest priority for reaching its full potential. Fuller didn't just tell us to build a new system; he left us the whole blueprint. Follow along as we explore how this new accounting system, now known as the Bitcoin network, is realigning planetary incentives. www.aworldgame.org

Bob Burnett | From PCs to Bitcoin to Hash Horizons

Makoto Shibuya and Bob Burnett explore the visionary work of Buckminster Fuller and its connection to Bitcoin. They discuss the evolution of personal computing, the societal impact of Bitcoin, and the importance of understanding block space and its value. The conversation delves into the implications of decentralization, the roles of miners and hashers, and the future economic landscape shaped by Bitcoin. Throughout, they emphasize the need for foresight and adaptability in navigating the challenges ahead.

Takeaways

Bitcoin is seen as the most consequential technology of our time.
The personal computer revolutionized access to technology and autonomy.
Block space is a finite resource, akin to digital real estate.
Understanding the hash horizon is crucial for Bitcoin's future.
Decentralization is a dynamic process, not a static state.
The distinction between miners and hashers is vital for network health.
Bitcoin's adoption follows a classic technology adoption curve.
Bucky Fuller's foresight about technology and society is relevant today.
The future of Bitcoin will depend on its ability to adapt to demand.
Words and definitions in the Bitcoin space must be clear to avoid confusion.
