A system that forces equality does so by destroying the incentives needed to create value.

What is better?

An uneven distribution of abundance, or an even distribution of poverty?

Be a maker, not a taker

The present is autonomous

Grow the pie

A difficult choice every square merchant now faces:

Pay 2% fees for -8% CAGR

Or

Pay 0% fees for 50% CAGR

Hmm🤔

Every disastrous economic policy comes from thinking only of direct consequences, with no thought of the indirect.

It is more important than ever to become a sovereign individual.

If the government can print money for free when it’s short, why do we pay taxes?

Why not just abolish taxes entirely and have the government print everything it needs?

Answer that, and you’ll see exactly why the fiat system is so broken.

Applying for my first Bitcoin jobs. Never been more excited!! Bitcoin standard here I come

One cannot understand Bitcoin as the solution until one understands fiat as the problem.

Appreciate what you do Ben! Fellow Albertan here

Canada’s immigrants who rely on driving Uber and delivering food to earn their income need to realize what is coming. Autonomous vehicles are here and the only thing stopping them is regulation. Within 5 years Uber will not be a viable way to make a living.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe I am concerned with the jobs (driving, fast food, convenience store, etc.) the majority of our immigrants are occupying and am having a hard time thinking of AI-resistant jobs for all these people. Is mass unemployment around the corner?

Unfortunately, this encourages the government to overregulate and stifle innovation to protect these jobs and win votes.

Jam packed with value like always, Jeff!

Are you using AI in your everyday life? If not, you should be. History has repeatedly shown that technology doesn’t reward laggards. People clung to horse-drawn carriages, delayed getting electricity, and resisted the internet… until they couldn’t.

There will never be less AI in your life than there is right now. From here until the day you die, it will only become more prevalent. Adopting new technologies is non-negotiable if you want to stay part of modern society. It’s worth learning how to live with AI sooner rather than later.

The 20th century was shaped by the nuclear arms race and the space race.

The 21st century will be shaped by the AI arms race and the Bitcoin race.

The stakes have never been higher.
