Like seagulls picking over a sandwich in traffic.
You can’t buy a luxury home on the internet.
Bitcoin integration in small businesses will eliminate the fake interaction of positivity employees need to have psychopathically with customers so they can stay in business. Retail creates fake. Debt based corporations create fake. Someday businesses that own bitcoin will let people come in and patronize their establishment just because it is selling something they care about, Instead of superficially vibing people out for not buying something. If your store can’t survive without my business maybe it’s time to consider getting a day job.
It is hard for people to think like they are their own central bank. It’s easy for people from central finance to think of it in day trading terms. It takes someone truly creative to think of it in the terms of freedom.
I used twitter for one week literally. Yeah mainstream news comes from there, But NOSTR has no master. After I had my account suspended I realized the argument for free speech from the highest position of bank lending is non sequitur. The narrative is the master of traditional markets. Anything owned by a bank eventually starts singing the same song as all other outlets, Pick your wing of the bird and enjoy the flight.
That being said, Believing in your own bullshit is how all those terrible strange outcomes happen. Opportunity is a bird perched on the falling tree of disaster. Those who make opportunities out of crisis are the ones most prosperous, And plenty of people destroy themselves saying things they do or don’t mean or understand. I do believe people have the right to be wrong, But it is each person’s responsibility to accept when they are wrong.
Say what the fuck you want, I’m all ears.
If you want more bitcoin adoption go help poor people.
Stablecoins: how bitcoin scales to people who don’t know about the TOR protocol.
When your education system is financially based on people being too stupid to educate themselves without taking on debt, A new monetary standard will of course break records. I tried this at the University here and kids kept telling me I was distracting them by exposing the flaws inside traditional finance. In my opinion a Max Keiser approach where you expose the inherent corruption of central banks is just as important as providing the antidote of a transparent financial ledger. Just because people have gotten away with these things for so long does not mean that people still should not know. There is no way to forcefully take their ill gotten wealth away from them but everyone having a clear understanding helps a lot. University students are still filled with the optimism their parents raised them with and the attitude of moral superiority that comes along with the University environment. The whole thing is rotten to the core, Wall Street bankers are whoremongers and cocaine users, Literally “money junkies”. It won’t change immediately but everyone knowing restores balance to a cold cruel world.
Being conservative is not really very “cool”.

Some kind of optimistic persistent statement about the future of bitcoin here.
Most of my contact with Bitcoiners has been very surface level outside discussion around code. Building software is always a serious subject in the bitcoin community, But every thing else? Not so much. Lots of people coming from trad fi playing the same tricks, Waiting for others to make mistakes they can profit from, Or looking to take advantage of gung ho people new to finance. Not much real “community” or “circular economy”, More people sizing each other up. Again glad to see coders independently doing their thing, But overall most people seem afraid to offend each other and conversations are usually surface level at best. I like intellectual conversation and I was disappointed by the Bitcoiners on this end. It always seems to come to one person being the smartest in the room and everyone kind of following along with them.
I think regulations around Stablecoins are much easier to enforce, And liquidity for senators trading bitcoin. As long as the government can use bitcoin against bitcoiners, It’s game on. Aside from this all those trust funders with nice parents that learned solidity, Got a computer science degree at Stanford and got hired at USDC ain’t got no time for the bandits that made the currency of the dark web. It is the fact that the largest private bitcoin holders depend on their privacy that hands defi as a safe “decentralized” alternative to the public. Grandma can download Coinbase but multisig? And yes also, Mass adoption. I am starting to realize more and more that hyperbitcoinisation is really hyper dollarisation across impoverished nations with no tech sector. I do think good things are happening for El Salvador, I am glad to see the peace that has come after radical changes, But Argentina is the perfect case study. Stablecoins are more desirable than real dollars, Or Pesos, And most people don’t appreciate the value proposition of bitcoin there, But some money changers might speculate and get richer from bitcoin. Bitcoin will improve slightly over a long time but if you run a node, Have a cold storage, And can use bitcoin as a currency you are living in a bitcoin economy. I use dollars every day and I try not to use bitcoin as much as possible because of its appreciating value. Stablecoins are far more expendable and accessible by “regular people”.
