what a surprise considering how much say he's already given to a major EV and rocket/satellite vendor

I didn't know he was influencing Elon. Bad... Bad bad bad

I also thought there was an EO against CBDCs

I guess All it takes is another EO and CBDCs are back

yeah, unless congress then court battles

On a optimistic take, Maybe it's like how he hired John Bolton on the first go around to just scare people. It scares bitcoiners into realizing they don't control him... Always negotiating power dynamics.

If we're lucky, the whole country will get rekt on shitcoins and reach the bitcoiner epiphany.

can confirm: that's how i got there, not by getting rekt but by seeing mass rektage

I saw the rektage... Le Grande Rektum, so to say, coming before it happened. But I still got rekt because I was so disgusted that I couldn't stand to look at the shit, so I couldn't even sell it. Took a 100% loss. Felt like justice.

yeah, 2022 Grand Rektation was 100% a big turning point for a lot of people

Ahh,right. that's the way it happens. For people who are more gamblers at least.

also, random comment but it might be better to call it the "bitcoin antipathy"

Instead of epiphany? I'm enjoying the etymology there...

yeah, but it really is an antipathy that makes it happen

Maybe antipathy and epiphany coprocesses 🤔

they are the same thing in the sense of before, and then after, are a different identity

And the turning away from one thing puts another thing into view

the most interesting things to me always come out of a poetic juxtaposition. i hadn't really given it a name before but antipathy totally fit.

also that makes me think of the meaning of janus

Oh yeah, I made a note about Janus a while back, I should dig that up and see if anything new pops out
