Storied take on the David Webb "The Great Taking" from the perspective of a self-sovereign Bitcoin holder.
"The Last Ledger" follows Sarah Chen, who heeds economist David Rogers Webb's warnings about "The Great Taking" - a systematic wealth confiscation enabled by decades of legal changes that converted property ownership into intermediated claims. As Bitcoin lending platforms collapse through rehypothecation schemes that mirror traditional securities fraud, Sarah's decision to maintain self-custody Bitcoin transforms her from paranoid prepper to community banker. While the majority of Americans lose their savings to pro-rata distributions in cascading financial failures, small communities of Bitcoin holders create parallel economies that operate outside the new Central Bank Digital Currency surveillance system. The story illustrates how Webb's predicted collapse unfolds through voluntary participation in intermediated systems, and how those who maintain direct ownership of scarce assets gain unprecedented leverage during systemic failure. Ultimately, it explores the possibility that financial system collapse, while devastating for most, could liberate those prepared with truly sovereign money to build more cooperative economic relationships free from extractive intermediation. #BitcoinAudible #theGreatTaking #Bitcoin #Mandibles

This is why lending with Bitcoin could be bad.... People don't give up custody to your Bitcoin, maintain control of your keys!

This describes the phenomenon of the self acclaimed Libertarian Socialists. They basically redefine the words.
Some big fish vertebrae I found at the ocean I use for my garage door now :) #grownostr

I would just use Linux. I love how Signal makes privacy the default and gives you the ability to turn it off. Always make privacy the default!
