Raising Cane's is so much better than Chick-fil-A. Its not even close.
Seems more likely than not.
Over the years its became clear to me that most people do not understand what trust means. If they did they would use it more sparingly.
The government is the conspiracy.
GM, stay humble, stack sats.
Taxation is theft
“Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
9 years ago. He was still speaking in ignorance as if he was informed.
I was thinking there is no way he actually said this but he did. To be fair to him it was almost 10 years ago. Here's the clip.
And fees are down almost 10 fold today 😄. I think one problem people have is that they do not understand how free markets work. In most cases on-chain transactions are not all the same. If I have to have my transaction in the next block it might cost me, but most of the time I don't. As bitcoin adoption increases these priorities will be forced on people by fees.
Also I do anticipate improvements over time that will drive down fees.
Queue the "bitcoin doesn't work" remarks. Its so absurd if you think about it for 5 minutes. That is if you understand bitcoin.
lol. Many? Never met one. What is magic about 100k? Curious
Long form Nostr is pretty cool.
Jotted down some thoughts after I realized there was an election yesterday.

Normally I like to keep to a single good morning note per day, but today deserves two.
Fuck this and fuck Saylor.

Bitcoin is for enemies. When bitcoin becomes the money of the world everyone will use it. There will be good and evil people using it. They will be using it for good and ill. My question is will there be banks? I'm not convinced they will go away. Maybe they will but who knows how long it will take. I do think technology destroys middle men and I can see a future without banks.
The other part of this is I don't think he's wrong. I'm not for it, but I think he is talking about the clown crypto firms being replace by tradfi/banks. That will happen in the short term. Its already happening. It will continue. I don't agree with his rational as he's still a statist but he's not wrong about his prediction.
Tradfi will not just go away but I doubt many of these crypto firms survive the next decade. They will be gobbled up or put out of business by the state. They just don't have the clout with the state.
The adult supervision part... seems to me he's talking about custodians rugging people. I've listened to Saylor quite a bit and he's a statist but he's pretty minarchist at least. These regulators and state actors are dead they just don't know it yet. Bitcoin is slowly destroying their power base and by the time they realize it, it will be to late. So I don't really care what Saylor says in this regard. It isn't up to him. Anyone worried about a single man stopping bitcoin is not bullish on bitcoin.
Yes. It works.
