The British Dream
It is quietness, Gentle, weather-worn and private. The British Dream is not a grand ascent or a noisy ambition; it is a quiet contentment, the slow, steady carving out of a life that is your own. A modest home, not a mansion. A garden, not a yard, a patch of earth that belongs to you, where things grow under your care and no one tells you what to do with it. It’s a place where you can shut the door on the world, draw the curtains, and exhale. It’s the smell of roast dinner on a Sunday. It’s the comfort of silence between two people who know each other well.
It is the desire to be left alone, in peace, in your own space. A semi-detached sanctuary or a little cottage with low beams and a creaky stair. Somewhere to plant bulbs in spring and rake leaves in autumn. A shed to retreat to, not to escape from life, but to tinker with it.
To step outside when the moment feels right, not because you have to, but because you want to. To potter in the garden with a cup of tea cooling on the fencepost.
nodding at strangers who are not strangers at all, just familiar faces with the same rhythm of life.
It’s to be part of something small but cherished, the village fête, the local pub quiz, the murmured cheer when your team scores. It’s standing with others around a bonfire, the smell of smoke and damp leaves in the air, a hot flask in your hand, sparks spiralling into the night sky. It’s watching the village cricket team from a deckchair, the clink of the bat, the slow hand clap. Or the tribal joy of Saturday football, not because it’s glamorous, but because it’s yours. Your town, your lads, your scarf wrapped tight.
The British Dream is humble. It is not chasing riches, but finding riches in ordinary things. A slow life, a stillness. A country lane at dusk. A kettle boiling. A glance from someone who’s known you your whole life. A sigh of satisfaction when the day is done.
It is, at heart, the dream of a little kingdom not one ruled over, but one lived in.
To own a corner of Britain and to guard it quietly as your own.
This is the British Dream:
To be content in one’s own castle, and to be left in peace within its walls.

Here’s My opinion that no one asked for.
We live in a bitcoin bubble, 99% of the world doesn’t understand why bitcoin not shitcoin.
Trump specifically choosing bitcoin only would look more grifty to the 99% than what’s happening. It needs to be seen that all due diligence has been done, we all know that Bitcoin is the ONLY foundational asset that can produce a golden age future, the 99% need to be educated on this fact, I fully expect that when all things have been considered that bitcoin will be settled on as the only reasonable thing to hold in a reserve, the 99% will accept it because it’ll be seen that everything else has been considered and dismissed.

Fan coins will be bigger than meme coins
When trump is no longer here, How much will ppl pay in future for a coin that is linked to a US president that oversaw the changing of the global monetary order, the first human on Mars and cementing of the US as the global hegemony for next 500 years with a SBR.
The plan is for the US to become the crypto capital of the world, this is still good for #bitcoin, but ppl need to expect their most hated shitcoins to also do well.
It’s a sign of how much ppl don’t care about privacy and their data.
Having privacy as a main selling point isn’t going to gain mass adoption.
If you understood #bitcoin you wouldn’t care about #trump coin.
Meme coins don’t really bother me. They’re not scams pretending to be some amazing tech and next big thing.
Shitcoins that lie about what they are I’ll still argue against.
Fed up by Danielle DiMartino Booth is also a good one to follow on from this.
The 2% inflation target, was never an official mandate it just became widely accepted by repetition over time.
Check out the FOMC meeting minutes from July 1996, when Alan Greenspan was fed chair and Janet Yellen was on the Board of Governors.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/fomc19960703meeting.pdf
Yellen is married to economist George Akerlof, she drew upon his research which suggested that if there was 0% inflation, when companies needed to reduce wages during economic downturns it could harm worker morale and productivity. But, with a modest inflation rate like 2%, employers could implement real wage reductions by increasing wages by 1%. workers perceived a nominal wage increase as good, even though their real purchasing power was decreasing, this would maintain morale and avoid the negative effects associated with wage cuts.
During the meeting, Greenspan wanted to have a clear definition of inflation and yelled, influenced by her husbands research suggested that a 2% target could enhance employment outcomes. She argued that a modest inflation rate would enable companies to adjust real wages without the need for nominal wage cuts,
Greenspan expressed concerns, He worried that when the FOMC’s discussions were made public, Congress might view the adoption of a 2% inflation target as conflicting with the Federal Reserve’s mandate to ensure price stability. Despite his concerns, the 2% target gradually became a standard benchmark for central banks aiming to balance price stability with economic growth.
Fiat inflation shill Mohamed El-Erian admits 2% inflation is “arbitrary.”
i.e. 2% inflation is what they determined was the optimal amount of THEFT of your purchasing power they could get away with without revolution… https://v.nostr.build/NTx1xmDgdEC7Bkvx.mp4

Bitcoin is napping!
Citizens of the U.K. need to understand that the government can’t afford everything that they expect the government to do. #uk
