Dear Bitcoiners on #nostr,

For some, when you see or hear someone say they are a progressive/left bitcoiner, some of you lead to attacks, questioning and probing, assuming:

“pffft that’s not possible, how stupid can you be!”

I’ve been at this for over 3 years now. What you should do is take a step back, and realize how incredible it is that a progressive probably broke ranks heavily (think Liz Warren, greenpeace, woke police etc etc) to learn about and advocate for bitcoin. That’s really cool and a hard thing to do! Tribalism is deep and can produce awful things that get in the way of independent thought, truth, and progress.

Most progressives in bitcoin are not your caricature of the modern progressive that wants big government control, censorship, against free speech, MMT, etc etc. they’re bitcoiners that advocate for social change and progress, the true essence of the word, and believe there is a role Bitcoin can play in improving the lives of everyone, especially those downtrodden by society and the government. And those of us on the left in Bitcoin are socially liberal - we’re anti-war, pro lgbtqia+, pro women and freedom, and pro people gaining true financial freedom and prosperity.

Progressive bitcoiner does not equal democrat foot-soldier

Hell, most of us are politically homeless, as are you probably.

And at the end of the day these political labels can paint a bit of a picture but are inadequate at best, harmful at worst.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

I do get that obsessing over what Saylor thinks and does is pointless as Bitcoin is for everyone, but it’s fun 😂

Voting is probably rigged, and my voice is meaningless on the national level.

But I'll reluctantly vote Trump, for Ross Ulbricht's chance at freedom. He needs to come home.

WAY too many people still don’t understand that all war is about taking land and resources. nostr:note1nwr5pjs7xef748s2cvr4ezmhkgk7vadlsrqhjq66qkyw2tdkalyq9scmwc

Mises explained that the "store of value" function of money is derived from the "medium of exchange" function. And therefore it's superfluous to talk about a "store of value" function of money as though it were separate from "medium of exchange." I read the first few paragraphs and it sounds like you basically agree with Mises. Except Mises was talking about money and what makes money money.

In the beginning, we wanted Bitcoin to become money. It was a wonderful medium of exchange for a while. Then some things happened that made it more cumbersome as medium of exchange. Some people recognized the problem and started working on solutions. Other people seem to have moved the goalposts by talking about "store of value." You're right to say that in order for Bitcoin to be a "store of value" it needs to be valuable over some time interval, between two exchanges. The question now is: do we still want Bitcoin to become money?

Fwd or D?

These little mini me is growing way to fast.

If you could hand pick anyone to be President of the United States (following same rules, must be 35 or older, U.S. born) who would it be? 🤔

GM.

Is Uptober real?

THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL, COMPANY, AND GOVERNMENT IS TO ACCUMULATE AS MUCH BITCOIN AS POSSIBLE.

THAT IS THE MEASURING STICK. EVERYTHING ELSE IS MEANS TO THAT END.

MOST DO NOT REALIZE THIS YET.

THE HARD PART IS NOT GETTING REKT DURING THE VOLATILITY THAT INHERENTLY OCCURS DURING THIS TRANSITION TO A BITCOIN STANDARD.

SAYLOR SEEMS TO BE EXECUTING BEST IN PUBLIC MARKETS BUT HAS BEEN TAKING ON INCREASING RISK SO THAT COULD BLOW UP IN HIS FACE.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.

Onion&garlic honey fermentation?

Fuck globalists.

Would love an article on this subject and your experiences.

What do modern times have to do with it? I think it would have been much harder even 50 years ago not to mention 200 years ago.

Trying hard to be excited but I’m dead inside. Been here too long I guess 😂
