We’re in the third or fourth inning of the Bitcoin war, but the US has - imo - assayed the field, and is boxing us into a corner we can only get out of by compliance. They’re on a search and destroy mission. They hate us.

I’m holding out that some US States will resist, but I don’t see any offense on par with the Feds.

That’s not to say Bitcoin isn’t going to be adopted by Corporations, yes it will but only AFTER it’s use is made ‘compliant’.

And that’s not to say Bitcoin isn’t going to be adopted by other Nations, yes it is, and they will compete to become the new refuge, the new hopeful regions that can resist the US/WEF lockdown.

I personally don’t treasure running from country to country.

I can, and I will, though.

And I’m weighing that need on a day to day basis.

I love my country. But I have come to fear my government.

Appreciate it, but just club music.

Not going to win hearts and minds around the world…and you seem to know that.

Keep them coming! And feel free to repeat, because no one has catalogued all your posts yet, so spam away!

Not knowledgable, but Nolan Bauerle covered this story and ‘mentioned’ experts saying that NO, OpenAI is NOT AGI yet. Just making progress.

I’m unclear, sounds like Wallet of Satoshi is being shut-down by US Feds.

The US Feds will shut it ALL down. They are going scorched-earth on anything they can’t own.

That strategy is clear, and it’s amp’ed up now ahead of the Blackrock et al ETF’s.

Only “permitted” Bitcoin is acceptable.

The war isn’t just on, it will be won or lost in the next few months.

In the USA.

I don’t think States are the fallback plan anymore…but I’m holding on.

This.

Do not handle more Bitcoin than you can own. nostr:note1uawy2wvtw32u80ftrl07gc29u7p5ek79a0s0vdkur5jedu8drzgqpn36h8

I mean, at the end of the day, when the light grows dim and we realize we’re always alone among friends…

…Bitcoin is super fun, huh?

100%.

CBDC’s are going to drive it home to the wealthiest 1% that their money was just taken away from them and they’ll never get it back again.

God-Candles begin when the CBDC’s roll out, worldwide…

Would love to know if independent analysis was done by any firm other than Chainalysis. It’s crucial to have a double-blind in anything like this before firms start to comply.

posts lots of great modern indy rock from Japan, tons of girl-bands, really worth a listen for something different and refreshing!

Fair enough, but I firmly believe no one becomes a Billionaire until they’ve been allowed to become a Billionaire.

Yep.

My daughter backpacked Europe over this past summer.

I spent at least 2 or 3 hours talking with banks & visa about why it wasn’t their fault payments couldn’t be processed. Even had one person ask if the payment was for ‘crypto’.

I really needed that. I needed another nail in the coffin.

I needed to grieve for my old, broken money one more time.

I’d like to connect with someone on my own.

Not on anyone else’s terms.

Kthxbye. nostr:note1a52550lg5ar0vscqpqu2ljfg335t7znjc0p2t4vmyjr5murads4q6ql257

Democratic politics got forever broken by the rise of Corporations and specifically Corporate Agendas.

Corporations naturally discovered that getting shit done happened best by a tight bureaucratic hierarchy. An Oligarchy. A modest dynasty, devoid of democratic headwinds.

This approach proved more adaptable and enterprising vs a free-market of “macro” accepted officials working within the larger & smaller free-(or not so free) markets of publicly accepted officials and capitalistic plebs.

Corporations became the ultimate “level-up” of Capitalism. By “leveling-middle”. They were semi-powerful, yet extremely mobile in the Capitalist system.

Similar to how wolves came to rule the transition between mammals and humans.

People complain that “Capitalism” is a failure. They’re wrong. Capitalism is succeeding incredulously.

Yet ironically, we no longer have Capitalism, not as seen from our little tiny plebian point of view.

Corporations became the dominant creature in modern society.

They outpaced individuals, certainly. No argument. And States, and Countries.

Their Organizational Model has transcended everything we puny people can even believe is rational.

Capitalism doesn’t exist anymore, because capitalism won. (And I’d argue, is seeking to impose Communism in its wake, because Communism is the Form of successful Capitalistic bureaucracies…but I digress…).

This is the world we live in now. Can we shoulder it? We have to. But we need to clearly feel and be aware of this ‘Corporate’ disdain for us. Because this disdain is what they LIVE on, and THRIVE on.

Make no mistake. People are generally lovable, and acceptable. Individually, and in groups. But Corporations, Agencies, Governmental Organizations, et al are sociopathic cancers on the planet. Not just some of them. All of them.

You may disagree with me here.

So this is naturally where we might part in this discussion, no?

Fair enough.

I’ll continue, if you’re willing to listen. I’ll offer that in my experience those who seek positions of centralized control are sick. They believe they have a natural capability to decide what other people need to do. This isn’t bad, but it’s a red flag, in all cases. People who seek to ‘guide’ other people are almost always sociopathic. That’s an exaggeration, they may merely be narcissistic, or youngest children…but people who SEEK to lead others - who ‘need’ to lead - are never to be trusted. We all operate from a need. The ‘need’ to lead is a sickness like everything else. Don’t Trust, Verify!

True Leaders are shoved unwillingly into leadership by their people and their deeds. True Leaders are Chosen, never Voted on.

Sociopaths seek control because the realms of Control are where they feel comfortable and justified. They LOVE rulership! They love/hate (sub/dom) being ruled themselves. But they long to rule us. They feel inadequate “just being with friends and loved ones”. Sociopaths never want to ‘spend time with loved ones and friends’. They want to be in a world of Alpha and Beta. That makes sense to them. They will strive to attain these worlds - and remain in these worlds - until they die. Because, again, ‘spending time with loved ones and friends’ isn’t a thing that makes sense to them.

Sociopathy is a sickness, and Sociopaths cannot live normal lives.

They must seek the endless ‘sport’ of Global Power.

And we must live with them. They’re not evil, they just live in a world that promotes their inadequacy to apocalyptic levels. We can’t oppose them, because we’re normal. We don’t want to oppose them. That’s what gives them their strength.

So as #Bitcoiners we need to steel our juevos. Seriously.

Because they are coming for us, and they will scorch and burn the Earth to stop us. Not a metaphor. Because they don’t know any different. They can’t help but be self-destructive when their whole existence is threatened.

They need to be the people in Power, who tell all of us what to do.

They can’t be reasoned with. They’re sociopaths.

They will scorch the Earth to stop us as we threaten them.

We are inadequate to oppose them, right now. And yet, we can’t give them more time to oppose us, because they’re far more prepared than we thought they’d be.

We need to focus, things are going to happen quickly. We need to act as one. Everything will be decided shortly. The kids who think Bitcoin is certain are going to be called on to take a side very soon.

And it’s ok. This is what it was always coming down to. So breathe. And be clear.

Because the future is going to happen before all our eyes.

Was Strike not already in Argentina?

I don’t know I thought it was I can’t keep up but if it wasn’t and now it is this is kind of a big deal MUTHERFUCKERS!!! nostr:note13u48qp5cmvty74j4z9wllr80sgwsemwhzfssj6cndmgyrnthldesak7yuv

To truly hamstring BTC, the SEC (along w/ FINCEN et al) need to put a tight collar on Binance, and probably some other localized exchanges like Kraken…maybe, MAYBE some others. To sever the ability for Dollars worldwide to free-flow into exchanges, hence into Bitcoin.

THEN they’re more than happy to open the floodgates on ETFs. All KYC after that.

People hoping for the demise of Binance are idiots…or already have all their non-kyc Bitcoin.

My cat free-ranges what I’ve convinced him is “flowing pool water”, which is rich in probiotics and can taste different from day to day……

But of course modern Robin Hood (app) banded the plebians together, milked them for everything he could, told the Sheriff about everything they were doing, then when they revolted he gathered all their arms up and turned them over to the Sheriff along with all the riches they’d gathered.

You time-shifted into Porn World. We all dream it will happen. It just happened for you.

We’re never prepared for it, and it only lasts for a few seconds anyway.

But you’ll always know Porn World is really out there…somewhere….

Not qualified to speak about AI, but it sounds like Intelligence created civil insurgency, then routed the insurgents into an Intelligence asset.

Via Pleb Underground … Payjoin seems like a project worth having on my radar.
