Replying to df125dd3...

You Ser are asking the right questions. My guess is that there is literally nowhere on earth where you can openly retain even a moderate libertarian semi-sovereign lifestyle. There is nowhere you will have proper property rights secured by some government. There are 0 governments that don't suck. Some are larping as that because they fucking suck soooooooo bad that there is nothing else they can do ( El Sal...) but most if not all of them will fold eventually.

Your timeframe is way too short my man. Hate to say it but unless you are like... 10... or 0 you are not going to live long enough to see the end of these shit governments. My guess is that there are going to be trap-governments setting up here and there to get us to arrive with our fat bags then have their security agents blackmail us so we can never physically leave. Think about how that would be done... I will leave it up to you... Next we are looking at western first world nations. They are going to just tax you then make their own stablecoins and claim them as currency while making all your blockchain shit a capital asset with 30% Cap Gains. Boom... They win. Its that easy. Im not kidding. That is how this all ends im sorry to say. That is all they have to do.

What is the solution? Shiiittttt IDK. Seriously, I dont think there is one. All these maxis out there saying they already won and cheering the SEC as they attack shitcoin projects are fools. Playing into the hands of the enemy. In the end they will end up just like them. Raped and tossed in the gutter. I have no answer to a real solution but what I see right now with the squabbling about this chain.... that chain... maxi this... maxi that. We are doomed. The gov agencies are driving that shit. If we were a unified front then we would be unbeatable but we are not so we are fucked. We should be BLOCKCHAIN maxis and anti-gov. lol lets see if anyone wants to get onboard with that shit.

You are right about most of it, but I disagree that we have lost. In fact, I don’t think the struggle has even started and I think it will take generations to accomplish, but I think it is up to us to start that struggle that will electrify itself into the political task of our time. We must make the decision to not go quietly into that dark night, as this is not just about us, but about the very nature of what it means to be a human being in our time.

Just wondering how underground we will have to be.

Regarding the countries that want to say/do the right things to get us and our ā€œwealthā€ there - that is what has me skeptical about the self-governing Free Cities movement. Once you are bought in, that government could flip a switch and go authoritarian.

I’m willing to stand firm, to teach, to promote the BTC circular economy. It doesn’t need to be the global reserve asset in my lifetime. I earnestly HOPE it remains a suitable store of value asset in my lifetime which growth is measured on a logarithmic scale.

When you see the total addressable market, seems like it could easily 20x in my lifetime (I’m in damn good shape for a 55 yr old šŸ’ŖšŸ˜‰).

Then I’ll teach the next generations - participate in the circular economy while choosing to borrow against BTC vs ever selling it…and never get over leveraged. Only borrow what you could pay right then if you needed to - so you don’t lose your BTC buying something that time destroys.

21M!

What the heck - thought Damus had locked up, so pressed the Post button multiple times.

My bad…

Personally I am extremely debt adverse. I see it like this.... Why mess around with debt when there are smaller scale projects that will move more. I always liked the idea of 00/12mil (Infinity/21mil) Essentially it is the idea that BTC is the base currency. EVERYTHING is priced in it. Super strong stuff like gold, beach houses, unvaxxed sperm, and high quality bacon... right alongside the most horrible shitcoins, yappy-dogs, fat girls and (redacteds). Everything.

So learn to manage risk and never touch debt. When times are sketch... Risk off. When its the pump times then Ape! Im not a maxi but one thing I know for sure is that all blockchains are both tools and weapons. Powerful ones at that. No reason to limit yourself.

What we are doing is very important. It is going to be the foundation of future generations of blockchainers. We are the founding fathers of blockchain. Literally. That said, we cannot be short sighted... wallowing around in the muddy bullshit right before our eyes. Our comfort and wealth and ease matter not at all... We must fight for a future greater than any one of us. What we are writing here will live on forever. Think of that.
