The government doesn't want to take your guns - they just want you not to have them when they come a-knockin'.
Gotta go with paper money, not eating that ever again.
Here's an obvious one π
If you're being offered to use state power against people you dislike ...

Mr. President, youβre 80 years oldβ¦
Youβre fortunate you wonβt live to see the disastrous effects of your policies.

From the perspective of a guy born into American aristocracy, there are no disastrous effects - Stocks are going up, real estate is going up, tax/tariff revenue ready to embezzle and plunder is going up, and government is increasing its power and its demand for weaponry so from their point of view, everyone who is worth something wins, and the rubes are lucky to be allowed to fuel their continued financial wellbeing.

I have a self-custodial wallet that doesn't handle small amounts well because of fees and whatnot but thanks anyway!
Here's a chance to use sats to fight tyranny directly.
Have some sats for that first fortnight ππ»
The "algorithm" only has three rules, you don't need yet another useless machine to misinterpret it and feed you incorrect conclusions, you can figure it out yourself, even without being a mentat.
Gold has been illegal to own in the Land of the Free from 1932 to 1975.
If the news calls it a conspiracy theory, it has a 99% chance of being true.
If scientists call it a conspiracy theory, 51% chance of it being true.
If Alex Jones calls it a conspiracy theory, it has a 1% chance of being true, at best.
Ah the age-old question of "How can I make more money off my money with minimal effort and no value creation while someone else takes all the risk?"
Sure, exchange the thing whose value might go up or down for the thing that can only go down, smart lad.
The correct thing to do would've been to reject both communism and McCarthyism - instead they use McCarthy's methods to bring about communism, daft buggers.
I'd love to wear this in a busy Italian piazza and watch puzzled normies all day.
Time to end the Fed then ππ»
I've been rolling my eyes at the quantum computer threat to Bitcoin for years now, but based on this recent podcast from nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9urj9dyf it sounds like timeframe is uncertain, but the threat is legitimate.
I'd be interested to hear more discussion on this as it's much more fundamental to current use cases than the current node discussion.
Honestly it doesn't feel like quantum computing is ever going to be an actual factor in the real world, just like nuclear fusion, anti-matter, asteroid mining, or flying cars. All those things have been "near-future technologies" for decades, meanwhile the number of nuclear fission plants is decreasing, well-established technologies like trains and planes are stagnating and everything is slowly coming to a halt like some Randian nightmare.
"etc." stands for "et cetera" and is pronounced "ett settera", not "ex xetera".
Judging by the colour of his hair now and in the video, this was likely made 20 or more years ago, he's been around for a while π
