One of my most popular posts here was when I simply reminded people that our politicians are retarded.

This was when Trump was surging in the polls last year. I talked about why both him and Biden were retarded, not just Biden. This was at a time when many people needed hope that one side might be smart, that maybe Trump wasn’t retarded as his literally senile competitor was. As if they forgot the 2027-2021 run.

Now, here in December 2025, with a repeated failure to release the full Epstein files, and he himself implicated in many of them, and MAGA turning against him, are you surprised?

Everyone knew he was a bad person. People just argued for why a bad person was needed, or why his bad values wouldn’t interfere with his policies.

But yeah, bad people rule things badly.

Nothing stops this train.

Hows the outlook on bitcoin privacy tools from your perspective given current admin?

I wrote multiple times a year ago that privacy would continue to be suppressed regardless of administration.

It is.

Lyn, what are your thoughts on Monero?

Is there a market solution for it? There seems to be from my perspective. Privacy is how you can remove counter party from markets, thus reducing risk. Not a guarenteed to be profitable but I think incentives can align where it's mutually beneficial for both parties to selectively reveal things while still having understood contractual agreements. Crytography is offering a way to structure businesses with very auditable but private books.

The market isn't driving or it would be free. I think you are right that there is a sly and roundabout way to embed more cryptography into the system, by playing on its incentives, as Bitcoin already does. I think security is actually the greatest open opportunity there.

But the control grid is built on things that cryptography fundamentally threatens. Lying, stealing, cheating and slavery are not byproducts. They are it's very substrate.

From clipper chips to PQ migration, the pervasive deepest logic of system will always be anti-crypto at its core. It will only allow it grudgingly, in limited domains and it will always be attacking it at the same time.

Fiat is inherently anti-rreality. Cryptography is reality's enforcement arm.

The system has conflicting incentives that can be exploited to make limited progress, but we have to remember that full adoption of cryptography is an existential threat to the system. Privacy, security and freedom are antithetical to its very existence.

The crypto wars will be fought to the end.

Privacy gets hammered no matter who’s in charge… HODL your keys, not your trust.

You did and it will always be safe position to take. The modern state is a feature of fiat, not the other way around.

(I think you may define fiat more narrowly and commodity money more broadly than I am here. I'd argue for a broader definition that encompasses all lending at interest and seniorage.)

“In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Its weakness has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget quickly that they chose evil.”

—Hannah Arendt

Highly regarded public servants

Bad people run things badly… HODL your sats, the train doesn’t stop for anyone.

Hey Lyn, we vibecoded a funny tweet analysis and roast page. Get yours on proofofprice.com/wrapped/lynaldencontact

MAGA not turning against him at all

MAGA 😂😂🤣🤣. WTF in hell is that all about. Absolute clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

Ok loser

😂🤪

is that real? no way that is real.

No [redacted] way

Seems to only work on some of the files. Fun fact though, seems like "Volume 8" was (is?) accessible by just incrementing the number in the URL.

It's either all done by very stupid people or by not-so-stupid people that want to release some of the stuff to the public "accidentally".

👀

Hopefully someone already pulled all the info locally.

I trust the internet, someone must have already.

Smoke show

👀

It's almost like they used Nostr edits to redact.

gotta be fake

i tried just now...did not work on a few random PDFs i tried

Nice fake video

Trying to find this kind of documents in justice.gov data sets, none seems unredactable…

Noice. simple ‘hack‘💥

Seen ppl do it with their bank statements 🤭

Fake and shit

😂🤣😂🤣🎅GM🎅🎄🎄

Watching politicians talk shit about each other be like:

He is an utter clown 🤡 and anyone that didn’t/doesn’t see this is also part of the circus

Well, apparently some of the blacked out text can be actually extracted.

We get it Lyn, nothing stops this train.

That’s now accepted as true, congrats you called it.

Next question to assess, how far down the line can this train get before it jumps the rails? Does it just jump the rails at a curve or does it hit another train? Does the track just go on straight forever and literally NOTHING stops it, ever?

Bad people may rule things bad, good people *may* rule things good, but if nothing stops the train, how far can the rulers get it down the track before catastrophe?

Or is there no catastrophe? Maybe the whole system just goes on forever in this fashion, inflating, printing, lying, fabricating, etc…

Identifying one’s self with a political party (out of just two!) is even more retarded

All the merch being worn in public is somewhat embarrassing

In Europe we have even more retarded and more corrupt politicians, but since that’s kind of known, nobody who’s not affiliated to a party would defend any party to the extreme of being a walking ad

I look forward to seeing what comes out and the obvious results of such illuminations. I won't hold my breath.

The current US gov one of the most corrupt governments in history.

That’s rich…. .ca? Real rich…

I don't know... That's a pretty high bar.

This post includes fake information

Please be careful when reading it

No surprises given most voters are just as retarded

Democracy is a complete failure of a concept.

Wrong. MAGA supporters understand that there is nothing that proves Trump did anything wrong in the files. If there was, the left would have published it IMMEDIATELY during their last presidency. Logic.

This is you.

i’d like to see where’s he’s implicated, as you’re implying he’s a child rapist.

Birds of a flock. Still to find a non retarded politician on a high office position in the last 50 years, worldwide.

Tells a lot about democracy and about the electorate.

So with the currency collapsing, the politicians corrupt, the Fed unable to control inflation, you’ll be leaving the USA for good asap right? Or will you actually be using all the benefits of living there (property rights, book distribution platforms, centralised exchanges, police…) and just pretending you want to exit the system so you can keep selling anger justification to actually unhappy people?

And go where? They're all uniquely highly regarded

South Sudan is currently run by separatists right?

This piece argues that constitutional protections exist to safeguard the conditions people need to discover and become their true selves, but culture-war politics and certain systems—including monetary policy—have become machines that capture identity and interrupt human flourishing.

the belief in the superstition called authority is strong

reading broken money great book!

I got my grandpa - 75 year old guy your book - Broken money. It opened my eyes and I think it will open his.

Political authority is a delusion.

Choochoooo
