Most of the tension resides between 1) Embedded, complexity-minded, multiscale/fractal localism (politics as an ecology/complex adaptive system), and 2) Abstract one-dimensional universalists and monoculturalism (politics as a top-down engineering project). We go beyond the verbalism; we rely on information theory, complexity theory, uncertainty approaches (say fragility), and probabilistic rigor to look at politics with the same eyes as we examine highly dimensional interactive elements such as nature, biological systems, internet networks, and medical issues.

WHAT WE WANT CRYPTO & CURRENCY FOR:
1) Currency w/o a government
2) Stable/reliable for contracts
3) Inflation indexed store of value — basket of items representative for me.
4) Rapid transactions
Can we do it?

The tweet follows his February speech this year, when he also used the social network to claim that Bitcoin failed as a store of value. The publication generated revolt in an ‘old friend’ who countered him, the author of the book ‘The Bitcoin Standard’, Saifedean Ammous.

In yesterday’s publication, Taleb starts with the premise “WHAT WE WANT CRYPTO & CURRENCY FOR”, describing what would be ideal for him:
“1) Currency w/o a government
2) Stable/reliable for contracts
3) Inflation indexed store of value — basket of items representative for me.
4) Rapid transactions”. He concluded with the question, “Can we do this?”
Questioned by the user ‘Ultra_Mega_BTC’, who said that “the market is saying the opposite”, Nassim Taleb called him an “imbecile”.
