Amaro Koberle addressed criticism #1347.
#1347·Dennis Hackethal, 7 months agoBut digital money isn’t physically scarce like someone’s body. Your argument rests on physical property being special in some way.
I don’t think the issue hinges on whether something is physically scarce, whatever that’s supposed to mean. After all, all information is physical, as David Deutsch likes to emphasize. The real distinction is this: stealing someone’s digital money deprives them of the ability to use it, while copying someone’s novel does not prevent the author from accessing or using their own work. The former is zero-sum; the latter is not.
