I get that, and that sounds to me like the adage “being your true/ authentic self”.

What if the people you want to hear Signal aren’t interested in your true self, like employers?

You beat me to it.

Especially if she wants to have children.

How do you transmit Signal to a Noisy fiat world?

Tactics and strategy would be helpful.

When you first break away from “consumption & status as self-esteem” -- which pairs deviously with high time preference-- there’s a gaping hole in your conception of Self. Virtue fills this, and allows virtuous others to contribute, as opposed to others concurrently experiencing your current mode of consumption.

For me, the usage of Twitter as a sales/marketing/PR engine pushes the comms center of gravity towards boring/controlled, killing lightness/energy/interesting-ness.

Useful content is produced, but the ability to scale content creation crowds individual voices out.

Fidelity selling bitcoin means we will find boring frat boys at our raging house party eventually.

Would businesses have to voluntarily segregate themselves to separate relays?

After tonight’s Bitcoin meetup, I think that the fellowship & “let’s get together and do things!”-energy of older organizations like the VFW and Rotary has another chance in the present day.

It’s a Wonderful Life

Poor Carl!

You ever take more of something, or it was the same amount but just stronger than before, and you realize,

“shit, I’ve got a [3,6,9] hour ride ahead of me…but I only thought it was going to be [1,2,3]”?

That’s been the orange pill for me since April 2022.

I initially learned about Austrian vs. Keynesian economics via EconTalk.

I thought it was a legitimate economics perspective, just wrong.

The thing Russ Roberts didn’t stress, which The Bitcoin Standard alludes to, is that Keynesianism is just another form of propaganda.

Got it. I’ll switch to brave as default. Thank you!

Are you going to set up a miner there where the dryer used to be?

I was recently looking at the exposed ductwork in my basement, and the vents installed on the sides and thought, “A miner hanging from the ceiling in a quiet box would avoid the animals and vent directly into the ductwork!”

Sat stacking purchase workflow:

Activate Lolli for 2-5% bitcoin reward

Use airline miles credit card linked to Lolli

Pay credit card with Fold/Paypal for 1.5%-3% bitcoin reward

I’m going to look into a credit card that has bitcoin rewards next.

IT help please: I joined via Damus yesterday via phone, and saw everyone in my browser, but couldn’t get any sound. Any ideas?

Reading The Bitcoin Standard while the family sleeps in on a calm Saturday morning.

I thought the short film Tomer Strolight made was fanciful when I first saw it, even though I wished desperately for my children’s sakes that it was true.

Then I read about the effects of gold standard in the late 1800’s, and I realize that the film is not fanciful at all, because it already happened at least once in history.

How does one sell physical gold…besides my local pawn shop?

Why would Bitcoin rewards from debit/credit cards have capital gains taxes upon sale when frequent flyer miles, retailer incentives, and cashback don’t have similar taxes upon redemption? Seems like legal case waiting to happen.

Agreed. But if that trust and verification process could be created for countries with SWIFT problems, that could get interesting.
