gm, Bitcoin is Truth.

If you've been part of any group effort, you've seen it - as the group generates and grows value, complexity doesn’t just rise - it explodes. Far faster than the value itself. Eventually, questions emerge: Who contributed what? Who deserves how much?

At certain levels of complexity, the same patterns repeat. Any effort that generates significant value will reach a stage where some members will be labeled stupid, lazy, evil, irrelevant. Not by accident, but as a tactic - a way to justify redistributing equity to those seeking to further elevate themselves. The only question is: at what level will this happen? Tens of thousands? Millions? Billions?

But it will always happen. And it will keep happening. When people face the choice between acknowledging that you earned a million or keeping it for themselves, the vast majority will “discover” a truth in which that million rightfully belongs to them.

Look at recent events through this lens. Milei continuing to shill endless shitcoin scams. Trump's team launching $TRUMP memecoin, only to be rugged by another team launching $MELANIA. Insiders printing trillions, funneling it through USAID and the CFPB, just to hand it back to themselves under the guise of serving the people.

The future doesn’t hold less of this - it holds more. Governments will level up money printing to feed the growing political class, under the noble guise of caring for the common folk. Armies of Hawk Tuah girls and Dave Portnoy boys will keep launching scams, hacking ways to make the value you create flow to them. At some point, they won’t even have to try - AI will generate infinite content in their likeness; justify their actions and price, shill the next memecoin, mint the next grift.

And the only thing standing between you and those who would steal the value you create - will be Bitcoin.

good morning 🫡

gm, first

social capital is the only long game for keeping effort working together in harmony.

economic incentives can get u most of the way there, but the magic glue really is in the people u surround yourself with

Always has been always will be

THIS IS WHY I'M HERE, FOR EXACTLY THIS! 🫂

It ain’t much, but it’s an honest living.

Totally nailed it

Simp

yes you are

GM! The small realizations that are shared in this community while on the Bitcoin journey only strengthens the resolve. I've learned this and value it.

nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg forgives the joke with the meme but your reflection is correct. First of all, what can you expect from pilitics? May they enslave everyone to transfer infinite income to themselves. I discovered Bitcoin as the possibility of having a life without transferring my monetary energy to these vampires. It gave me a meaning to life. I understood perfectly the meaning of Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. It was a release and I had a new perspective. I really appreciate it.

it's a good joke

Imho, we’ll need to start bludgeoning the scammers, obtuse nihilist, and most particularly the bitcoin sycophants with much greater ‘toxicity’ to build up the immune system against the most recent infection called memecoins.

Fuck these scammers and most particular the, ‘I like bitcoin, buy my shitcoin’ scammers.

That’s sexy 🫡

Fucking scammers

“I like Bitcoin, buy my shitcoin” - POTUS

I really like your thoughts... and IMO evidence of what you just said is so deeply entrenched in humans. People have a tendency to justify stealing, grifting, lying, cheating, etc. using false paradigms such us: 'if everyone does it, why not me', 'I've been hurt/cheated on/lied to/etc., I don't feel sorry for it, if I do it once', 'the system sucks, therefore I steal/lie/cheat, etc.', 'I'm only scamming really stupid people, they're so stupid they deserve to be scammed' and SO MANY MORE. Such behaviours are encouraged implicitly and explicitly by corrupted and criminal politicians, business people, celebrities, etc. that it is SO HARD to find the TRUE NORTH and keep sailing steady towards it. I don't know if Bitcoin is the solution to all of this, I don't know even if there is a solution. What I do experience is that, transitioning completely from the FIAT clown world to a decentralised permissionless life is lonely but empowering and peaceful. I don't mind loneliness, it's up to me to change it. On the contrary, I have never felt happier and at peace, knowing that I totally rely on myself having stepped out of those paradigms that where hindering my efforts to progress on the path of becoming my best self. For me, Bitcoin is Freedom, and however it ends, if it ever ends, it would have been worth it to be ALL IN. Long Live Freedom!✌️ 😊 🤙 ❤️ 🧡 💜 💛

In Bitcoin we also have "Everyone is a scammer" that nostr:nprofile1qqsf272yfpfzyypcmjarg5fz27mx58rwt0d5xwdk09yzd4qzfvlye6gpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue00zsj69 unfortunately popularized.

My personal philosophy is way less conflict prone, I wish for environments that are nurturing... rather than always needing to be on the lookout.

But to build those environments we do need better protocols... so the only thing I can tell you is to keep building and keep going. As you say in your note - do not fall for "if ever does it, why not me"... that's how you lose your true self and become what you shouldn't be.

This. Well said. I’ve often found others say “ it’s all in the justification “ & it’s made me feel… well … anyway … I’ll learn to keep myself at chill level so focusing is easier & figure out best use of whatever resources I have.

Hugs 🫂 friend

It’s only lonely until you find one, then another. Quality>Quantity

You nailed it. Corruption and rent-seeking scale with power, and fiat enables it at an unprecedented level. Bitcoin is the only neutral, unforgeable ledger that resists this dynamic. The question is how long until the masses realize it?
