What is a country?
And, of course, this is just Elon‘s cut. Tesla is neither a viable company nor are EVs a viable concept. Without massive misallocation of capital in the stock market and huge government subsidies for plants, batteries, lithium mining and EV ownership, this ponzi would be possible.
I don’t think that’s it. It’s too simple, not really a lot of time needed to understand it. Only two concepts. What is money and why is #Bitcoin immutable. I think we are rather dealing with massive cognitive dissonance induced by brainwashing and human nature. Humans are lazy, selfish creatures of habit. Bitcoin‘s avenue to mass adoption is through greed. Due to its exponential increase in purchasing power the earlier one adopts it. Once it’s money, our values and civilization will improve.
The truth doesn’t change by whom talk to.
It’s just a game. Good cop bad cop. They’re all of the same guild.
That’s €100 per person.
This has to be sarcasm? It’s silly and written in a funny way.
Three things:
Self custody
Run a node
Run a small solo miner
Then everything will be fine.
He just smacked us all in the face and you’re rationalizing…that’s what they call Stockholm Syndrom. Where the abused rationalizes the abuse away.
Why would the audience change one‘s principles?
How do arrive at naive? MIT (CIA?), DuPont, Billionaire, CEO, using other people’s money to buy #Bitcoin, Banks and Government is your friend, one of three US institutions printing money and holding Bitcoin, calling Bitcoin property (only) but USD is MoE…
That part I got. You could have arrived at these point yourself. All propaganda contains “truths”. It’s called telling “half-truths”. The question is, what does that mean to you in terms of Saylor?
What do you mean?
If „they’re“ using a „quantum“ computer the #Bitcoin network will use a neural network of „quantum“ computers. Exponentially more powerful than theirs. Hashrate, difficulty levels and crypto algorithms will all evolve with the increase in computing power. Increase in computing power goes both ways.
I don’t think voting matters. They are all part of the same guild. The movie „Jones Plantation“ sums it up nicely. Also, H.L. Mencken explains why democracy is doomed in 10 points:
1. People don't want freedom but safety: "The average man wants the peace of a hog in a comfortable sty."
2. Democracy INTENSIFIES groupthink: "Democratic man is quite unable to think of himself as a free individual; he must belong to a group, or shake with fear and loneliness."
3. Democracies are plutocracies; they're run by the aristocracy of money. But the plutocracy "lacks all the essential characters of a true aristocracy: a clean tradition, culture, public spirit, honesty, honor, courage—above all, courage. It is transient and lacks a goal."
4. The plutocrats lack "an aristocratic disinterestedness born of aristocratic security." He submits. He can be bullied and broken.
5. Democracies birth their intellectual apologists - Mencken calls them "pedagogues." These are not genuine thinkers; they’re "men chiefly marked by their haunting fear of losing their jobs." This describes most journalists.
6. Democracy is anti-excellence. Freud said we repress our sex drive as it’s frowned upon...but there’s nothing that democracy frowns upon more than a CLEAR proof of superiority. Democracy says "the most worthy & laudable citizen is that one who is most like all the rest."
7. Mencken explains how this era demands we repress our greatness: "A man who has throttled a bad impulse has at least some consolation in his agonies. But a man who has throttled a good one is in a bad way indeed. Yet this great Republic swarms with such men, & their sufferings are under every eye."
8. Mencken on the two worst crimes in a democracy: "There is only one sound argument for democracy, and that is the argument that it is a crime for any man to hold himself out as better than other men, and, above all, a most heinous offense for him to prove it."
9. Mencken: "The democratic politician, confronted by the dishonesty and stupidity of his master, the mob, tries to convince himself and all the rest of us that it is really full of rectitude and wisdom." To gain power in a democracy, men sacrifice their self-respect...
10. Mencken believed democracy will cancel itself out: "Democracy may be a self-limiting disease, as civilization itself seems to be. There are thumping paradoxes in its philosophy, and some of them have a suicidal smack."
