Harris Irfan blew my mind today when he said the following, I am paraphrasing:

Bitcoin isn't Magic money, FIAT is. Banks create it out of thin air.

Bitcoin is hard money created by putting real world resources into it.

I mean... damn. That depth is mindblowing.

Question all the memes.

Some people have grown cynical with democracy (and various types of representative government broadly, e.g. including constitutional democratic republics that enshrine certain rights to protect liberty against the masses), viewing this method as promoting short-term leadership with bad incentives.

I have a different take.

Prior to the printing press and then the telegraph and radio, running a democratic society over long distances wasn’t even feasible. The concept of having people democratically participate in their government relies on people being relatively connected information-wise so that they can use their access to information to know what’s happening and to then select between different options, which you couldn’t do across the entirety of a country before people were literate and election materials or other publications could be mass produced. In the pre-press age of handwritten books, making written documents was expensive, and so literacy was a niche skill.

So, that era was ruled by kings and queens, council oligopolies, and so forth. Representative government, to the extent that it existed, only applied to small city states where people could literally gather in a town square, or to “elites” in a capital. There was literally no way to run an election over very broad distances on a regular basis. The printing press helped change that, and then the telegraph, radio, and other tech further reinforced it.

But ironically, as I discuss in Broken Money, those technologies also started to break our money. The printing press and telegraph allowed the transaction layer (the movement of IOUs between individuals and entities) to grow exponentially more efficient both domestically and globally, while our settlement layer (gold) remained basically unchanged. This broadening gap between fast transactions and slow settlements was increasingly bridged with centralization and credit, and the gap eventually became so wide that every nation dropped the settlement layer of gold almost entirely, except as a reserve asset.

So the same technologies that enabled widespread representative government also enabled the proliferation of softer money. Prior to these technologies, broad democracy wasn’t possible. And after these technologies, sound money was too slow to keep up. Oof.

But over a long enough timeframe, our technology became good enough that we finally figured out how to do fast settlements as well. Bitcoin. People can send value to each other quickly over long distances, in ways that no central entity can prevent or reverse, and with a unit that no central entity can debase. The first sound money of the Information Age.

If Bitcoin is successful over the coming decades and becomes a much larger and less volatile money, than it is now, fully entrenched in society, then that would be the first era where technology is at such a state where broad democracy and fast sound money can coexist. Or put more universally, it will be the first era where information spreads quickly without breaking the money, and thus both fast information and good money could coexist.

I, for one, would be curious to see how that develops.

tldr?

Getting really tired of that gang. We were promised 158k gang by now.

Grifters gonna grift. How else will they get themselves near the money printer?

Influencing others to back a political puppet, wins them influence in the future.

But yes I agree. Do not donate to politicians.

Oof.

Ufff, in Islam we call this struggle, Jihad with Nafs.

This is hardest of struggles.

Bitcoin isn’t a “General purpose peer to peer data storage system”.

Defend it.

But where are the revolutionaries?

Gains have always been popular but the number seems to be too damn high.

There is nothing wrong with gains but ONLY GAINS? Why no revolution.

Being new is relative I guess.

In the previous cycles I had exposure to the people that actually were here for the revolution. I don't see them anymore.

Maybe they moved away to other platforms. All the grifters on podcasts have defaced themselves though creating an illusion that everyone is here for ze gains.

Hahaha is true though. Ask the people that get hurt by it, daily😆

Free speech doesn't exist.

The one that is more powerful compared to you can change the meaning of a word or a sentence to something you do not believe, they can destroy your life.

Example?

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

What does one mean when they say this?

Palestinians no matter the religion will have equal rights and be able to live a free life without occupation between the river and the sea.

What do the powerful make of it?

They want to kill us all.

No matter how much you try to convey your pov, they overpower their narrative thus create hate for your words.

There is no free speech. There is filtered and permissioned speech OR revolutionary speech.

Made this for everyone to stay focused on the price. All work is fine and well as long as we understand what the mission is and if we are advancing that mission.

If not, that's fine too, just be honest about it. One thing that separates us Bitcoiners from shitcoiners is that we have ethics, morals and thus always speak the truth.

It's time to blow off some steam:

Man I am so pissed at the current state of Bitcoiners. This Epoch I have seen a clear different between the following two types of Bitcoiners.

1- Bitcoiner, The Revolutionary.

2- Bitcoiner, Came for the Gainz.

Where are all the revolutionary Bitcoiners that assembled to free ours and the next generation from all the national jailers called Central Banksters? Even the shitcoin

traders in the previous epoch used to refer to "mi familia" while begging for airdrops or signals from tradingbois.

Where did all they go? Was it all fake? Was it all just a front to get clout and following to sell BS referral links and Pizzas? Was it all for personal gain?

Why am I pissed?

Let me share. WHAT IS THE MISSION OF BITCOIN?

Is this something that is individual? Is this something personal for everyone to decide?

IT IS A FRIGGING TOOL TO BE USED FOR SOME PURPOSE. Have we forgotten what Bitcoin was for? Have anyone even read the first paragraph of the White paper? A white paper

in general explains the purpose of a tool and how it works. Please revisit the first page of the white paper to remind yourself what Bitcoin was/is for.

IT IS THE HARDEST MONEY KNOWN TO HUMANS. MONEYYYYYY.

It is created to remove the TRUST THIRD PARTY so we DO NOT require PERMISSION to transact MONEY from A to B in a PEER TO PEER way. IT IS NOT PERMISSIONLESS ALL PURPOSE TOOL.

It IS MONEYYYYYY that contains all the monetary properties of MONEY(every time I type in CAPS, the life of my keyboard keys are getting tested).

Imagine, you create a swimming pool with a specific purpose in mind. Epoch 1 tot 3.. all the people use it as it is supposed to be used. People come in, swim and leave.

Now at around the end of EPOCH 4 some retarted guys enter the pool and start to shit in the pool before leaving.

I mean it is possible, it is possible. Yes, people complain but it is technically possible so they keep doing it.

Some people try to gather others to form a front to influence the shitting retards but others say, well it is technically possible so it is fine. IF we stop them, it be censorship, and this is supposed to be censorship resistant. NO consensus is hence found between the rest and everyone stops swimming because it is filled with shit.

New people come around and see this shitting in the pool to be normalized hence it becomes socially acceptable to shit around destroying the whole goal of what the pool was mean to be.

This is what is happening to our katana that is being marketed by retards as a multi-tool for everything as long as it is technically possible. These people have budgets, these people have conferences and do interviews on podcasts. These people are normalizing the multi-tool idea of Bitcoin while it is a katana to cut open the invisible chains of financial slavery for everyone worldwide.

Where are the revolutionaries? Where are the people that came here to fix the world by fixing the money?

We have one chance mighty chance to not F this up yet somehow manage to create this cope behavior because there is no way to stop the shitting retards right now.

STOP NORMALIZING THIS BS. OUR KATANA NEEDS TO BE AS SHARP AS IT CAN BE. FREEDOM IS NOT GIVEN BUT TAKEN FROM THE HANDS OF THE TAIRANTS. WE CANNOT F THIS UP.

STOP NORMALIZING NON-FINANCIAL USECASES FOR BITCOIN. ITS SPAM and for everyone that says that it cannot be labeled as spam, get a Fing life you moron, STOP REACTING TO THE NIGERIAN PRINCE AND STOP BUYING VIAGARA FROM EVERY EMAIL DEALER THAT MAILS YOU. FUCK YOU. MAN UP or CONSIDER NOT REPRODUCING AT ALL.

Whenever you feel useless, just remember that the US spent 2 trillion dollars, 20 years and countless youth to replace Taliban with Taliban. nostr:note1at4n6d9ujs70gpwhp5te0kavws5hyzfn5vssqz2mawuh04ngaepsdruhzc
