With the impending arrival of our third child coming up we had to go buy a new car yesterday. The way credit scores work is so wild.

I was an educator and thought I was going to doomed to teach forever because public sector pensions suck. I couldn't get a video card in 2017 because people were using them to mine, so I looked into crypto. Started buying bitcoin as fast as I could and as much as I could from there. Then I learned about what I was really buying.

yes. lucky. that's it. nothing about vision or risk tolerance. Just luck. and maybe stupidity.

I've shared that essay so many times. I don't think most of them have read it.

Everything is shitcoin compared to Bitcoin.

This is a car I’ve always liked. The 2005 ford GT.

I was watching a video about it and the guy said it was an “investment grade vehicle”.

So I ran some numbers. Good models go for 500-700k and he expects them to trade for 3.5 million in twenty years.

A 6x seems pretty good right?

The Saylor number is 13 million a coin over that same time.

Spend 5 bitcoin on a car you make 6x on?

Or wait and buy 18 of these cars later.

The decision is obvious.

The 2005 ford GT and every other “investment car” on the planet is a shitcoin.

Still a great looking car though.

chat if I showed you the advertisements that have been nonstop pushed on my x feed as of late, you would be appalled.

Another explanation is accelerationism won the argument finally and this dystopia kayfabe 1984 self immolation of credibility is necessary to remove the people’s last faith in the idol State

Alex Jones is on the list and has been to the Island. He's trying to blame Trump and get MAGA to turn on him. This isn't the first time he tried to turn the people against Trump.

We the people stand with Trump!

well thank you for the very thoughtful reply and thank you for reading! I hope I haven't muddled this complex conversation about Bitcoin, money, technology, and all of the good, bad, and ugly that comes along with it. my goal really is to be a pure signal amongst the noise of the nutjobs, who I believe have been identified quite thoroughly by the Bitcoin community itself, and so Nostr has become a refuge for us all in keeping the vibes immaculate, as they say.

as for the question of Christianity and how it elucidates the broader scope of human progress, I would say that the Bible is the greatest training manual for pattern recognition in human history, and it should never be condensed into platitudes for our own consumption, so it is imperative to read the whole thing from front to back.

I would also recommend the Catholic Bible since it contains even more detailed information and narrative concerning the patterns of human history and our relationship with God as the arbiter of our destiny.

I did watch this interview with Peter, though I must say that I understand his perspective and the chasm he is attempting to bridge on behalf of those who might wish for an exit ramp from over two decades of cultish apostasy from true Western values and, especially, from the Christian tradition itself.

I'm not sure anyone in my generation has been more of a skeptic of and contender against the transhumanist agenda as I have, for some personal reasons, yes, but moreso out of civilizational concern for my fellow citizens of planet earth, who have been continuously betrayed by these heresies and blasphemies.

but rather than fearing our society being run by people like Thiel and Co, I pray that God raises up warriors and leaders of the faith who will correct the latent and overt flaws of logic which manifest through any and all attempts to subvert the historically revolutionary legacy of Jesus Christ, who did command us to firstly love the Lord our God and, secondly, to love our neighbors as ourselves.

there are far too many rationalizations being made for war, and yet, so few being made for peace.

Bitcoin is the ultimate rationalization for peace; in fact, it was founded on the logic of peace, which surpasses all understanding.

we have yet to truly grasp the meaning of Bitcoin, but I believe that someday we will.

The Trump I know wouldn't have apologised.

Idaho became a state on July 3rd, 1890, so up here we get 2 holidays in a row.

Looking forward to this dock launching everything it's loaded up with later this evening.

Long showers is also an excellent environment for this... standing in the shower thinking...
