citadel theory is interesting. currently pondering how to secure food and security in my citadel.
Discussion
Citadel theory is based around a low trust society where you need to treat others like adversaries
This may happen but let's dream bigger
My citadel will be very big and built on trust. At least, that's the plan.
How many acres you got? If youre smaller than 5, sheep and birds for protein and fat. Larger, cattle sheep and pigs.
Not enough but I'm building a local citadel built on trust and Christ. Others have the land right now but we lift each other up. Next to expand that circle of trust.
Thats dope. Building my community is my favorite thing about rural life. Having a hog roast this month as a thank you.
Not a world I want to live in. Trust is necessary for society to function and improve.
Trust at the local level is fundamental to citadel theory. We have economic asymetry so can peacefully select winners and losers.
Domino's and Machinegun store, on premises.
😑
Ditch the seed oil slop "food". Keep the machine guns. Need strong and healthy men for best citadel efficiency.
You're not carrying a SAW and ammo if you're not fit for duty.
I mean, Domino's was a joke. Tried to make it clearer with "machinegun store" my bad on the bad joke. I was originally going to go with "Domino's and Nuclear Bomb store on premises" but thought Domino's was too extreme.
Nuclear we like. 🤣
For the SMRs
To be clear I grow my own greens. I still have to source my meat elsewhere to people with real acreage.
I can also carry a refrigerator on my back up 2 flights of stairs. It's the cardio that gets me. https://blossom.primal.net/784b5892372501e136ebcd41c5fb7b713a5f1c43420ad2e131715e0c51708b1a.mp4
Where I’m currently food is easy
Even with no gardens at all
Depends on the season or time of year
But like right now we have been killing tons of doves,
In a few weeks deer season starts…
A deer provides a lot of meat for the deep freeze. A couple maybe 3 or more and that’s enough to last all year.
Then turkey season in the spring
Then fishing all summer…
So even without planting any gardens I feel confident I can kill and catch enough to feed my family.
As for security… we have tons of guns….
But idk anything about citadel theory.
Would like to learn though
I’ve been to places in the world where there is a lack of food. Wildlife is nearly non existent in those places. Imagine if everyone in a major city who owned guns took to the hills to harvest deer with no enforceable limits. The herd would be decimated in a month. Same with fishing. Wildlife is in abundance is there for those who harvest it because 98% of the population gets their food from farms. Just something to think about.

Bitcoin Veterans Summit will be a masterclass in citadel theory. All bitcoiners welcome.
Can't wait, thanks for helping put it together!
Heard about this recently on rhr if you missed it.
One conclusion I came to is that greenhouses esp in cold climates are a double whammy: food and you can dump heat into them with miners and secure block space and nkyc
That's next after we finish the basement.
interesting is an understatement
main focus alongside raising a strong family
Guns and ammo.
What if you could use the world’s hardest money to purchase the seeds to grow your crops? 🥹😏
