So, you know how the aftermath of WW2 was a new monetary system with the US at the center?

This is why we “need” WW3 right now. Letting Europe recapitalize the US is how we will get out of the debt spiral we find ourselves in.

I’m not kidding. Why did we transfer so many weapons to Afghanistan? Because they will fight Russia again, like the 1980s.

Europe will erupt in war with Russia and we will join after milking the Europeans for war profits before we join, finish the war, and setup a new financial system. I don’t know if Bitcoin will be a part of it, but war may be how they attempt to confiscate your coins.

Criminals won’t attack you if they can’t get your coins. But governments will murder you if you give up your coins…they don’t care that they didn’t get your coins (unlike a criminal who needs an incentive)…they’ll get some bitcoin from some people and as long as they can eliminate most of everyone else’s coins, they will profit. Criminals don’t typically have this much reach (unless they get elected).

Seriously consider the above scenario. I think it’s got a 50/50 chance of becoming reality.

No. Buy ammo

Great point and one of the weaker areas of my preparedness. I'm slowing trying to get to know my immediate neighbours, but I don't really have a great network close by. My family and friends are all very handy people but live I'm the city and we're out of town.

I do not have much by way of an informed opinion of the New Evangelicals, but I will say that Aaron Renn's essay The Three Worlds of Evangelicalism helped me understand the TGC crowd much more—a crowd I used to be pretty influenced by, and a crowd I still have close contact with via Crossway. There are some people I respect who are in their orbit but as a whole, I am not a fan of the org or many of their takes. In this respect I am a bit of an outlier at Crossway.

I appreciate the sentiment, but my point still holds irrespective of ones stance on Darwinian evolution.

Sounds like a ledger promotion, not buying it.

When will he drop Ledger as a sponsor? Ledger can steal your coins at any time. That's not exactly cold storage.
