GM. It’s very likely that Broken Money by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a is the last book about #bitcoin I’ll ever read. There not much more to say.

Exceptions for technical books if I decide to dive deeper into that.

That's precisely how I felt too.

That's it; mic drop.

I'm not a doctor, but I know how to analyze data, so here is my response to the cardiologist who wanted me to go on Statin

I printed out each study, and he didn't bother to look at them.

I do a complete blood panel plus with nine vials of blood drawn and over 36 different tests. Everything was perfect except for LDL.

My oxidatedLDLL was six from 1-20

His only response was, “Then why do Statins work?”

High cholesterol is bad advice based on faulty science from the 1950s; Ancel Keys cherry-picked data with his seven-country study.

Every cell membrane in your body requires cholesterol.

Animal fat is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

Vitamin D is produced when cholesterol in the skin is exposed to UVB radiation from the sun.

Testosterone, DHEA-S, Estradiol, Progesterone, and Prolactin are all steroid hormones synthesized from cholesterol in various tissues in the body. Cholesterol is converted into pregnenolone, which is then used to make these hormones through a series of enzymatic reactions.

Nothing like 20 hrs of travel to catch up on some Bitcoin reading.

Also nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a's book is a great work of scholarship while being very accessible. I regret not starting earlier.

Having edited the text, I can say with extreme confidence that this is absolutely correct

Ending the Fed, says Nik Bhatia,

"...does absolutely nothing to control the drunken-sailor spending by the government, which would likely print the money directly itself to pay for deficit spending, instead of causing the roundabout monetization utilizing the Federal Reserve, primary dealers, and commercial banks."
