I don't want to work for the state or the banking system. I only want to work for myself and my family. To do that I must cut the state and the banking system out if my life. They won't let me go willingly because they consider me their slave. But their power rests upon my work, which I hereby withdraw.

And you're much less likely to waste money on crap you don't need when you price it in sats - can't understand why environmentalists hate bitcoin - using hard money is the best way to prevent overconsumption

And have to fly our own spaceships, that's fucking ridiculous

How do I hide #footstr notes?

Then that's the way it goes.

If using a particular tool allows you to outcompete those who don't, then those who don't become economically irrelevant and eventually die out.

No different to using Bitcoin and outcompeteing nocoiners. It's evolution.

People who say yes will outcompete those who say no.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I love when mild manned Lyn for normie consumption, turns into bitcoin/nostr fuck the system Lyn!

Only you can decide

But if a nation state did it with seized bitcoin (e.g. they thousands of silk road coins the US gov has) couldn't they just create a billion small utxos and break all our nodes?

Is bloating the utxo set the most effective way to attack Bitcoin?

Yeah, but only 69 days left.. it will probably all happen on the last day: https://usd.rip/
