Our beat reporter Boots O'Nthaground was at the epicenter of last weeks dip.

Here's his report

Sometimes you run into a guy who says, "I'm gonna rub the World's best pizza on this jungle's nuts".

And then he does it. And he prefers Bitcoin.

New episode with the founder of Seba's drops tonight.

"You betrayed yourself for nothing" -

One impetus for creating Soak was the excitement around finding people that disagree with us.

An assumption we got wrong 5-10 years ago was believing the majority of the population would be solution-oriented instead of aggressively defending their need to look right. We got that wrong because that's how we think and we assume everyone thinks that way.

The result of getting this assumption wrong and not realizing it earlier is that the World is bereft of examples of what good faith debates look like.

The result is we were not working on the right solution earlier. We wasted time and therefore made it more difficult to produce the solution with the TIME debt from false assumptions.

Not challenging your own assumptions on the things you're very sure about is a slippery slope. Avoiding this is highly correlated with prioritizing egos and work over truth and TIME.

Once this slope starts and the heels dig in to defend the ego, the slippery slope of moral self betrayal begets more desperate.

Fear is why we would betray our moral compass for nothing. Fear of being wrong. That's it. Just fear. When we operate from ego exposure fear, we are missing out on what makes life fun and interesting. We miss out on engagement with people who are not motivated by the need to be right. We assume that everyone feels the way we do about being right and devolve our discourse to the only methods available to defend egos and false assumptions.

People who enjoy good faith debates, have done the work on their own assumptions, are solution oriented and have high agency find it a waste of TIME to rub noses. We do not see examples of this anywhere so we assume it's impossible for people to exist that do not care about rubbing noses.

Why would you want to rub noses if you have a new ally on a difficult but purposeful path?

If you have a new ally in truth, it's just too fun to work on the solution together. It's just too enjoyable to experience life with a new teammate in truth that you knew was worth fighting for. Or disagree in good faith with someone because you both did the verifiable work on assumptions.

It also feels great to have a respected adversary to continually keep you sharp.

Cultures that excel in business are comprised of people too excited to create something that has never existed before. Needing to be right is not smart and it wastes everyone else's TIME. It's a dead giveaway of dead weight that needs to be cut immediately.

We have some guests in the queue that disagree with our position on the importance of the circular economy and medium of exchange because we value our TIME and are too excited at our mission.

They are either going to save us a ton of TIME, become an ally or sharpen our effectiveness at fighting for our mission.

We want our most important assumptions to be challenged. We want jousting partners on Soak as much as we want to have fun with our team and allies on the same mission.

How can you expect to ever be considered to care deeply about a problem if you're not looking for weaknesses in your assumptions to improve or see that they're disproved?

How can you say you value TIME and PURPOSE and ENERGY if you are afraid to be proven wrong? If you do not seek out challenging enough debates because you're afraid of being wrong, your life will be spent in betrayal of your own self for nothing. Is that how you want to spend your TIME?

We don't.

No idea what you're talking about

I was asking myself the same question

Appreciate you sir

We will send you a Soak Quest hat if you can guess who our Thursday show is with.👀

Hint:

That's not easy for vendors and Bitcoiners demanding that aren't a big enough percentage of customers to warrent that.

If you want that feature you have 2 options

1) become an insanely good customer of his

2) just use the opportunity cost plugin

We're putting Fiat CFO's responsible for protecting10 year visions on notice.

You need to have an answer for "THE IMPOSSIBLE EQUATION" ie the Required Money Creation that will continually raise your costs and reduce your savings worth.

VERIFIED NUMBERS:

• Federal Debt: $33.67T

• Annual Tax Revenue: $4.5T

• Current M2: $20.5T

• Fed Funds Rate: 5.25-5.50%

CLAIMED UNFUNDED LIABILITIES:

Total: ~$170T (Unverifiable Source)

Annual Payment: ~$8.5T (over 20 years)

THE IMPOSSIBLE EQUATION:

TR = Annual Tax Revenue

DS = Annual Debt Service (Interest)

UL = Annual Unfunded Liabilities Due

G = Annual Government Spending

TR ≥ DS + UL + G

$4.5T ≥ $1.7T + $8.5T + $6.5T

$4.5T ≥ $16.7T

ERROR_TERM = $12.2T Annual Shortfall

10-YEAR PROJECTION:

Current M2: $20.5T

Required M2 in 2035: ~$229.7T

Required Increase: ~1,020% (11.2x)

VERIFICATION STATUS:

HIGH CONFIDENCE:

• Base federal debt

• Current M2

• Tax revenue

• Interest rates

LOW CONFIDENCE (Need Sources):

• $170T unfunded liabilities

• Payment schedules

• Hidden obligations

KEY INSIGHT: Even using ONLY verified numbers ($46.27T minimum), system requires 225% M2 expansion. Including claimed unfunded liabilities suggests 1,020% expansion needed.

Why? The base error ($12.2T) > entire annual tax revenue ($4.5T)

System Cannot Solve Through:

• Growth (impossible at required rate)

• Taxation (would collapse economy)

• Cuts (73% reduction needed)

• Default (system collapse)

The result: Money creation isn't optional. It is mathematically required by system design.

So how are you going to deal with the debasement of your savings accounts if you're not saving in Bitcoin?

All your "Crossing the Chasm" models are destroyed.

The most competitive technologists in Bitcoin are consistently shipping upgraded experiences to customers. FOR FREE.

Never before have we seen these kinds of features immediately become the new table stakes to compete. Bitcoin companies are competing with each other by ruthlessly executing on improving the onboarding experience to a protocol with network effects that serves 8 billion people.

"Gradually then suddenly" is another way to say "there will be no chasm."

If you're building on Nostr, you're building for a better world. Keep going.

Why is ZapSnag so good?

Normally when you're trying to sell things online you have to send people to your store and posts are just the Top of Funnel.

With ZapSnag, the post IS the funnel

I haven't found anything and have been disappointed by businesses being closed down or not updated on those.

OPA probs the best eh?

Opportunity Cost fixed that for anyone who wants to opt in to that
