Just a Swedish 🇸🇪 pleb living in Portugal 🇵🇹 Bitcoin is the ultimate given as a money and as such the ultimate gamechanger.

People who attack capitalism (their own freedom), do so because they have let the propagandists & people who want control over everyone define things for them. They have allowed power hungry people to frame the problems in a way that serves their overall aims & desire for control. What is infecting everything is monetary debasement, which is the heart of all centralized forms of top down authoritarianism. It is the root of every corrupt empire. It is the cancer that destroys every great society. The best living conditions, the best art, the best innovation, & the best of all forms of creativity come from free trade & sound money (capitalism). When those things are undermined everything becomes corrupt.

“Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."

Read this on X. Thought i would share it. 🤣🤣🤣

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so

I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing,

and I said, "Nothing."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case.

Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

X is incredibly much more superior as a protector of free speech than NOSTR that has got less and less appealing during the 16 months I’ve studied it.
