Today, I hapened across this tweet and it tickled my fancy. I was a fan of Jordan Peterson until he got the vaccine. I just can't be bothered to pay much attention to him after that or to anyone who was swindled by the pharmacutical information complex over the last 2 years.
I am, however, currently a fan of Saifdean Ammous, author of "The Bitcoin Standard". As he orange pilled Peterson about the value of Bitcoin, I couldn't help but think about the value of Hive and POB.
The Value of an Idea
Where Ammous is describing the value of Bitcoin in terms of the electricity it took to mine it, I started thinking of POB in terms of the blogging it takes to "mine" POB and then in terms of the ideas behind the blog posts.
In my mind, ideas can also be thought of as a form of energy - energy that can be harnessed to mobilize people and now, with Hive, be capitalized on efficiently, giving the idea more resources to come to fruition as an action.
The value of an idea could be thought of in many ways. One way would be literally the monetary value of the idea currently. So, if you had an idea for a product or service, developed it to a point and sold it for a million bucks, you could say that it was a million dollar idea.
As, I thought about the monetary value of an idea, I started to think in terms of time. An idea that is correct, but cannot be ascertained by anyone but yourself, might not have any immediately realizeable monetary value. But, it can if it's moment comes soon enough. Think of the movie, "The Big Short".
Depending on your power of persuasion, your idea can become valuable quickly if you can pitch it to the right people. Consider the tv show "Shark Tank". In the modern world of crypto, ideas can by monetized faster than ever.
So it is evident that part of the value of an idea depends on how many people are aware of it. This can be seen in the power of the modern mainstream media. Even if it is a bad idea, it can be very monetizeable if enough people believe in it - the recent vaccine debaucle is good example in my mind.
Bitcoin is an idea whose time has come. I think this will also happen with Hive and POB. I could be wrong of course, it's happened before. What do you think? Tell me in the comments.
