Uncertainty and Hope
summary
Argues that current geopolitical and market upheaval — global bond markets down 30% year over year and rising populism — creates both existential risk and creative pressure, likening the moment to a Bitcoin Reformation; cites historical responses (Bank of Amsterdam, insurance, navigational tech) as examples of institutions built under strain and says Bitcoin’s practical contribution is clearer property boundaries — better fences — as an economic tool to reduce conflict.
