I'd be spending sats for goods and services, not trading them for $.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
- Robert Frost
No. Wouldn't be worth working anymore. I'd live the rest of my life spending the sats I have.
Every empire collapses, but the greatest leave an indelible mark.
It's not AB, it's AG: After Genesis (Block). Earlier time is BS: Before Satoshi.
Keep ~10M sats on lightning, the rest cold storage.
Kinda like that, indeed. Organized movement of the boundaries.
Something I was thinking about yesterday: the function of the Republican Party is to prevent civil war.
I'll explain.
Over the past 25 years the major shifts in policy and law that could have caused gun owners to consider using the 2nd amendment for a direct redress of grievances have happened under Republican presidents.
The surveillance authorized by the PATRIOT Act may have been met with armed resistance if Obama had attempted to instate it, but with Bush as the spearhead Republicans remained orderly.
The bank bailouts of 2008 could have been similarly opposed, but though Obama continued them, Bush started them.
Could Obama or Biden have locked down the country during Covid without any organized and armed pushback? Absolutely not. But because Trump was president, the "patriots" bent over and took it. By the time a Democrat took office and extended those policies the frog had already been boiled and it would have been silly to start fighting at that point.
If a Democrat is in office following 2024, we'll get 4 more years of slow, ratcheting loss of liberty.
Next time they put a Republican in the White House, watch out! The purpose will be to ramp up the assault on our freedoms, secure in the knowledge that those with guns won't fight back against someone they wanted in office.
I'd be willing to shitpost full time for only 2.5 BTC/year.
The more fiat the food the more likely you'll get food poisoning.
But anything can get you if it's spoiled, improperly stored, or improperly prepared.
So gratifying.
Attic is the dialect of Greek spoken in Golden Age Athens.
Close, but I disagree.
The only human right is the right to self defense.
Property rights arise from one's right to defend oneself, as property is an extension of self and property rights are only enforceable to the degree that the property is defensible.
