It’s quite sad to see that this is a dead forum. I had hoped I could discuss economics with other students and Saif.

Let me address each point separately:
– Mining does not become less profitable with time. Fees will accommodate for that.
– Read more about austrian economics to understand why things have a certain value. It’s the subjective valuation of people.
I guess I could go deeper but I would start with that

I have heard John Carvalho say that there is a limit to the UTXOs and that that is the biggest issue regarding scalability. Does lightning really solve this? It seems like it doesn’t. The way I see it we will have to use claims for fractions of satoshis that are redeemable if the quantity amounts to whole satoshis. Please correct me if I a…

Was Böhm-Bawerk wrong in his explanation for the emergence of interest? Saifedean said (in ECO11 seminar 4) that he was later corrected by Mises and that interest is the consecuence of time preference.
I just want to hear several opinions on this topic. I will appreciate every answer.

If I am being honest, I didn’t feel like addressing your point about altruism, maybe because I’m lazy. Probably because I don’t have a good answer. Having conceded that, I still can’t see the benefit in a minimum wage policy. As you said, it generates unnecesary unemployment and it’s not like it’s helping someone get a better salary. I think…

Minimum wage is bad because it hurts unskilled workers. It forces them to get a job illegally. As a young unexperienced worker I would totally work for pennies in order to learn skills but employers have no incentive to hire me. Greetings from Argentina, commonly known as USSR, the sequel

I think that the accumulation of capital by these elders works in synergy with younger peoples’ labor. I don’t remember if the thought experiment assumed that a population aged and no young humans were “added”

I think the difference between bonds and lending (What you propose could happen with bitcoin) is the creation of new money (bonds) but I am open to being corrected
