What does not work is asking permission. Every request for reform is an acknowledgment of authority. Every petition concedes that the petitioned has the right to grant or deny. Those who have left do not concede this. They do not ask. They build, use what they build, and invite others to do the same.

Just watched the first 3 episodes of Pluribus and can't help but think that this particular kind of borg collective is just like ChatGPT and other LLMs

Buy The Fucking Dip

Nobody uses gold as money, but over the last year it has outperformed EVERYTHING

The fact that people hoard a rock shows you how badly we need an asset that can't be debased

#Bitcoin fixes this by taking all the positives of fiat and gold and combining them into one asset

After many hours of analysis and listening to varied opinions, I conclude:

2025 has been a bad year for Bitcoin's price action.

A pessimistic sentiment persists among retail investors, who are already out of the market due to fears of a four-year cycle decline.

In 2026, we will see a significant rise.

We will be free of the cycle theory, and retail investors will re-enter once this fear subsides.

I don't believe it will be a bullish parabola, but rather a continuous, less volatile, and more consistent rise, which will likely continue into 2027.

End of statement.

Australians now face digital ID checks and biometric scans to login to online platforms, all under the premise of protecting under-16s.

Kids are now banned from select social media platforms but adults are the ones handing over their faces, IDs, and biometrics to prove they're not kids.

Mission accomplished: they've turned "protecting children" into a universal surveillance upgrade for everyone.

The UK, the EU, and various US states are also looking to implement online ID verification.

I love how much it sucks to be a holder.

Imagine if it was easy? Boring. 🥱

We’re getting closer to the shift.

We still check charts… but that’s old programming.

₿itcoin is priced in fiat today — soon fiat will be the one measured against ₿itcoin.

The script flips. The old system inflates into dust.

The more energy we feed into the new standard,

the faster the old world fades…

and the closer we get to sovereignty.

We have more followers on Nostr than on X but we get significantly more interactions on X; likes, reposts and comments, though I'm sure a lot of those are bots. Anyway, just figured that's kinda interesting.
