The ego is taking longer to die than I had hoped

True. Somehow I found it funny in the moment. But also, he's not relevant to bitcoin anymore. Which was his gift to the world. He needs no more involvement. I just imagine him out there somewhere, living a peaceful life, never even thinking about bitcoin. Or watching in wonder.

Why? He's not thinking about you at all. I imagine.

In that case we'd better start diplomatic relations now.

In the citadel, bitcoin approves you.

Its doesn't matter. They either steal easy (inflation / monetary expansion) or hard (knock on the door). Either way, they're stealing. I don't want to be stolen from.

A few months ago I wrote this on twitter.

Figured I would bring it back here.

Bull runs tend to make everyone feel like a trading genius so you might be inclined to trade shitcoins.

Here we go πŸ‘‡

If you're trading shitcoins to make more bitcoin, here are a few things to reflect on you might have overlooked:

If you currently own bitcoin you already have "enough" bitcoin; whatever trading you do for 99.9% of people won't make a difference. Of course, you think you are the .01% because that's human psyche, and casinos would not exist if this weren't the case, so you can probably stop reading.

Trading shitcoins is WORSE than any other kind of trading/gambling: if you subscribe to the idea that bitcoin is a technology for freedom, your trading shitcoins (i.e. giving them liquidity) provides oxygen to the most successful attack (to date) against bitcoin: generating confusion about what it is, and making people believe it's yet another speculative/trading vehicle. If you know this, then you, willingly or not, are participating in exploiting financial and freedom illiteracy.

We are where we put our attention; is your attention on something worthwhile, or is it focused on trading? Even if you just use X% of your attention, are you happy paying a (X%+context-switching-costs) tax to delay the world you want to see just because you want a slightly better position in a hyperbitcoinized world?

Your attention and time are WAY scarcer than bitcoin; are you protecting/respecting these as you do your cold storage?

You probably don't agree with this; otherwise, you wouldn't be trading shitcoins, but I'm writing this on the off-chance that you haven't considered this before and you were just too focused on the "I want more bitcoin" ambition.

TL;DR:

* You are wasting your life-force/energy on something that doesn't improve anyone's life, including your own.

* You are financially supporting scammers creating chaos.

* You are helping delay a tectonic shift in the amount of individual freedom.

Didn't read, never selling.

I can't imagine what it's actually like to be your father, but I do imagine he's having fun being it.

On the one hand - fuck this dystopia

On the other - the sun will one day consume our planet and none of this will change that.

From Linux phones? A lot. GrapheneOS does everything a smart phone can do and with a significantly reduced attack surface. Plus i can put it on a cheap-ish phone. But I'm no expert. I have Linux on all my other machines except where BSD-based.

Don't really see a use case with GrapheneOS

This is only obvious to those who know via the experience of enlightenment. Belief gets you nowhere here. In fact, it's an active hindrance to the truth of the matter. You cannot fight the ego and win. You cannot make a believer see, if that's all they have. The church is a scam, but not in the way anyone can explain. It's just words.
