Blackrock cannot stop us from using bitcoin and we cannot stop blackrock from using bitcoin.

That is the point. Money without permission.

Seriously #[4]​?

Consider the evil, disgusting shit the United States government does to an armed population

Consider the war machine of the United States government that kills men, women, and children overseas

You talk about all these things, and then want to leave us defenseless against them?

Fuck that

Welp…apparently nobody can zap the strike LNURLs. Damn it, Jack!

“I believe it also to be true that investment properties intended for yield generation come with a host of additional costs and risks that are rarely properly accounted for when assessing the value of these assets. After accounting for the probability weighted costs of evictions, seizures, taxes, maintenance, inflation, and loan interest, I find it difficult to justify these investments over bitcoin held in self-custody.”

agreed here. but i think the biggest risk is that bitcoin SoV replaces the majority of the SoV component of real estate assets when considered over a long time period (as RE is typically considered)

i’ve never identified with the term “bitcoin maximalist”

maybe you could call me a “technology maximalist” and bitcoin is the best money technology I’ve seen

but i’m an enthusiastic proponent of the continued development of a lot of new/different technologies

if you think you’ve invented a better money, i’ll admit it’s a very high threshold to pique my interest.

so along which axis do you think you’ve got bitcoin beat?

“Durability, Portability, Divisibility, Uniformity, Limited supply, Acceptability”

So the benefits of decentralization are based on the promotion of bitcoin?

So what is the direct relationship between decentralization and bitcoin?🤔🤔🤔

Lol I happened to listen to this TOD! Hadn't heard it in like a year probably 😂🔥

One of my favorites. Early 40s here

I am here. I don't know what I'm doing. I shall blaze forward in a bold manner. Fake it til you make it! (Or whatever)

Maybe the best place to start on the vaccine issue (neuro-toxicity of aluminum hydroxide more specifically) is Forrest Maready. He is an investigative journalist who has built a staggering, (and frankly frightening) thesis on the history and delivery mechanism for the numerous immune and neurological illnesses connected to vaccination. He is also very rational and is clear where he knows he is speculating, and where there is evidence, but not proof.

One thing he does well is absolutely eviscerate the pathetic excuses and hand-wavy bullshit the medical establishment gives to pretend autism and a basket of auto-immune disorders don't comprise one of the worst epidemics in human history, and that it isn't growing at a horrific pace, which it SO clearly is. And also in breaking down the specific delivery mechanisms of the illnesses and why they are all attached to the same problem (metal poisoning), manifesting simply in different areas of the brain or body. Also explaining why, if the medical establishment refuses to look at anything *they* are doing as a potential cause, why we suddenly have an explosion of chronic, incurable, seemingly inexplicable diseases that require lifelong medication and have no concrete source.

The first book I read was actually his unpacking of the history of Polio, which I think is a really good foundation to build from. (the story of our first, mass metal poisoning — mercury)

"The Moth in the Iron Lung"

I've also read a few of his other books that more specifically tackle the topic of aluminum hydroxide and does an incredible job at sourcing the potential pathways and method of damage in the body.

"Crooked" is excellent, and I'm reading "The Autism Vaccine" right now.

I would recommend any if you want to dive down the rabbit hole on this topic.
