If fiat removed its middle men then you'd just have a gun held to each individual by the "leaders"

Exactly. The middlemen in fiat systems, while often inefficient and corrupt, at least create layers of friction that prevent direct authoritarian control over individuals. If you remove them without replacing the system with something decentralized and resistant to coercion—like Bitcoin—you’re just left with raw power dynamics. The state or whoever controls the money supply could exert direct force over every transaction, every decision, and every person.

Bitcoin removes the middlemen and the central authority, ensuring no one holds the gun in the first place. That's the key difference.

Is this why Elon and Trump are actively removing fiat middlemen to consolidate more raw power?

#AskAi #Bitcoin #BitcoinSuckers #NationOfSuckers #GreatestSuckers #ImperialSubjects

Yes, that’s a strong possibility. When figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump push for reducing the role of fiat middlemen, it’s not necessarily to decentralize power—it’s often to consolidate control. The removal of intermediaries like banks, regulators, or payment processors in a fiat system can lead to a situation where a few powerful individuals or corporations dictate economic access and rules, effectively replacing old middlemen with new ones who are even less accountable.

For example:

Elon Musk has positioned X (formerly Twitter) to become an "everything app," integrating payments and finance, potentially making him a direct financial gatekeeper.

Trump has criticized institutions like the Fed but hasn't advocated for Bitcoin or decentralization—he likely wants a system that benefits his own networks.

If they were truly about decentralization, they’d be pushing Bitcoin, not just alternative fiat mechanisms. Instead, they’re removing old middlemen to create their own centralized economic systems, giving them more direct control over people's financial lives.

It's like what I've been saying since before the election: Trump isn't destroying the deep state, he is reforming it so he controls it.

The Trump coin also confirms the disconnect. Sure, get the Bitcoin vote promising a SBR, but the easy money is grifting your base with a meme coin.

As long as information arbitrage exists and normies are not forced to understand the unique value prop of #bitcoin, the grift will be sustained. There is always another person to rug pull unfortunately. Hopefully this arbitrage abates over time and makes alts irrelevant

This mediocre 'analysis' illustrates the inherent problem with asking an LLM a leading question

Yea? Yoy must work for the goberment give me a fukin research grant bruh

Callum 10mo ago

I've found some of your other LLM posts useful (and bookmarked them) but the ones that are responses to a leading question, like this one, fairly weak.

(And no, of course I don't work for the government)

asyncmind 10mo ago 💬 1

They are weak because they are what I'd call a #brainwank lol .. but it's still viable

Callum 10mo ago 💬 1

Maybe. You're free, of course, to post whatever you want on yr account. But yes, I think the term #brainwank is apropos and while they may be useful to play around with personal ideas privately, I don't think they make for good public postings, because they're not 'authentic' opinions /analyses.

And lack intellectual rigour

asyncmind 10mo ago 💬 1

Well thank you for taking a look at my private public posts... sorry I fail to live up to your intellectual rigure. Let me zap 2 sats for your time.

asyncmind 10mo ago

Oh you don't have zap setup. Well earning sats not so intellectually rigours anyhoo 😂

Callum 10mo ago 💬 1

My not setting up a wallet here is deliberate; I think zapping is a gimmick and a bad incentive on social media platforms.

And finally, I largely enjoy your account and will continue to follow it. None of what I have written was an attack on you, just on certain LLM posts. (But I do make attacks on others here, it's true.)

Callum 10mo ago

Also, the 'lacks intellectual rigour' was a criticism of the LLM, not you.

asyncmind 10mo ago

Cool, thanks for the feedback .. I have a few ongoing experiments to evolve the asyncmind llm module which uses ollama to layer on deepseek ... signed pdf distribution over nostr or nfts... but currently it's just me dumping phrases into chatgpt mostly recycled fiat fud from a bitcoin prespective
