By ~4k followers I knew too much to keep excusing & legitimizing any shitcoins & shitcoinery.
I made a break with the past, alienating many viewers & members, by publicly embracing #Bitcoin maximalism 100%.
But I can never quite shake the shame.
If I am inexplicably unpleasant to you, dear shitcoin apologist, realize that I may be screaming at my younger self.
It's not your fault if you lack courage & clarity. Shitcoinery is a mental disease caused by years of fiat conditioning.
The cure is learning to trust truth, a meaningless word in the fiat world, even if you can't comprehend or control it.
#Bitcoin is a truth machine.

Weimar vibes everywhere.
#Bitcoin has humbled more egos than acid.
"All the nostr people do that".
If you like Bitcoin and you're in Berlin, catch up with me at Holzmarkt tonight. If you're not, it's not too late to catch a flight.
Good morning!
#Bitcoin is a get-free-slow scheme disguised as a get-rich-quick scheme.
Leverage your greed to free us all.
Norwegian radio interview:
- There's hail and snow, and a hurricane. Polar winds from all sides. And biting cold as usual.
- So no sign of spring up north?
- Do you have fish guts in your ears? It's springtime! Lampposts are peaking out of the snow, there's running water, and daylight. A beautiful spring.
Based.
There should be something like couchsurfing built on #nostr + #lightning.
Mostly because I'd be keen to host in Berlin, but only people who use nostr & lightning.
Berlin: our corner shops are better than your clubs.
Fiat celebrities like Maher & McKenzie attacking #Bitcoin are not trying to protect you, only themselves.
They would sooner sacrifice the future of humanity than spend 15 minutes researching anything that could challenge their privileges.
Lowlifes.
Banning #Bitcoin is an attack on you, not #Bitcoin.
Perhaps a stupid idea, but #bitcoin miner + solar + wind + battery + #lightning + #nostr + market = decentralized energy.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to depend upon normal information channels to give you an accurate and timely understanding of the decay of the nation-state. āPersistent make-believeā of the kind that disguised the fall of the Roman Empire is probably a typical feature of the decomposition of large political entities. It now disguises and masks the collapse of the nation-state.
For a variety of reasons, the news media cannot always be depended upon to tell you the truth. Many are conservative in the sense that they represent the party of the past. Some are blinded by anachronistic ideological commitments to socialism and the nation-state. Some will be afraid for more tangible reasons to reveal the corruption that is likely to loom ever larger in a decaying system. Some will lack physical courage that might be required for such a task. Others will fear for their jobs or be shy of other retribution for speaking up. And, of course, there is no reason to suspect that reporters and editors are any less prone to corrupt consideration than building inspectors or Italian paving contractors.
Many will have other motivations, including shoring up support for a faltering system, that they will place ahead of honestly informing you. They will see little and explain less.

The nation state has managed to become simultaneously impoverished, grasping and extravagant. The paralell to the Catholic church of the late 15th century is too obvious to ignore.
