The tariffs are not retarded. They are there to force an outcome. Weaker countries don’t like them but that’s the way of the world.
US has more power than any other country. The US dollar is reserve currency. Strong.
Tariffs will force negotiations or you will pay. Heavily. Until you concede & then make the changes. In time all will.
A bitcoiner who’s also in favour of massive government intervention. Beautiful 😂
Nope. I’m just explaining what’s happening.
I’m out of the game. I watch from the sidelines. It’s fun though. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🥄🥄🥄🏆🥄🥄🥄
I want to be sympathetic to this perspective but our economies and lives being a chess game to global mafia groups is still shit, no matter how well they might be playing the game.
Always has been. Always will be.
If you’re not at one full Bitcoin yet I feel for you. If you are, why do you even give a flying fuck.
We live in the only time in history where there is a solutions STARING you in the fucking face. Stop complaining. Start stacking.
Good point. I'm being impatient.
This whole situation is like watching a fire, where everyone caught in the building could push a button and save themselves, but nobody understands that so they're just running around screaming while the building collapses.
It makes me sick. 20 more years of this is unacceptable.
I’m selling you fire insurance on the burning house.
I have the fire insurance, I'm good.
My problem is that I don't want the house to burn down, but that this point it is probably necessary. Both for cyclical reasons (we need a sacrifice) and for practical reasons (the average person is completely lost).
I need to decide between relaxing and enjoying the show or going on nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf level rants and investing more social capital in this.
Who cares really. Btc is the ultimate insurance
I care. Bitcoin is the ultimate insurance but Bitcoin is also just an idea. It's people who actually act upon it and change the world.
Bitcoin will win because it's an idea that capitalizes off of our own greedy, self-interested nature, but I'm starting to think that 90% of people are so conditioned by statism that they can't even tell what's in their own best interest.
I don’t care at all around the 90%. Not one tiny bit.
Focus on the 1% that are making the changes already. The other 9% will catch up but the 90% can all go to hell.
The 90% is hopeless anyways
The 90% will drag us all to hell if we let them.
I'm not talking about them because I'm worried about them, I'm talking about them because I'm worried about what damage they can do to us.
If you take things on face value, we live under rule of the majority. The minds of the majority are easily captured which makes this less true in practice, but we aren't the ones controlling minds yet either.
If Bitcoin goes to 10M in the next decade, there will be some parallels between us and another group which was highly disliked throughout history. Just saying.
Although its literally americans that pay them
We don’t care. We are rich as fuck here.
Not all americans are rich. But that’s another story.
Once those Canuck tariffs start rolling in, all bets are off.
WE GOIN TO SIZZLER.
In the end, it’s the consumer that has to pay more. Government will keep the 25% and fund whatever war effort with it
Always yes.
But as long as it kills the green movement in the process it’s a huge win. Long term.
Isn’t the green movement killing itself already. Lots of damaged windmill farms in Europe. Power grids overwhelmed by demand in the winter.
I can see how it’ll accelerate things in North America. But how about rest of the world. Particularly Europe?
As long as a windmill is standing & not demolished to the ground, it’s still alive. Murder it dead. Nothing left alive.
And Europe is gone. May never be the same. They fucked themselves royally (pun intended).
Why stops at negotiation when by your logic you are the one who set rules, because you are nice to not overly bully? Go ahead and take the world then, the world deserves a living god.
