the dream.

got the top 3 in spades, trusting others will see it similarly

the definition of “love language” 🤣

the flow state has been something else. an all consuming out of body experience.

i’m half scared if i stop i can’t start up again, and the other half scared if i don’t stop i can’t get out lol

Incorporating beta reader feedback is important.

Getting ahead of all clarifications so the reader gets it on the first pass.

Unfortunately, i think i’m hitting the mile 20 wall of this marathon.

yeah don’t get me wrong, that’s extremely nifty.

i just wouldn’t trust it to secure anything of real value

I need to finish this #bitcoin book

never been so consumed by a project

steelmanning the “no intrinsic value” argument to then destroy it, in my book.

it’s why u need the philosophy first.

when we start arguing about non-monetary uses as the basis of intrinsic value, we let old peter schiff off the hook because we swallowed his contradiction already.

gold being used in jewelry or computer chips is extrinsic value.

an accident, not essential to the nature of gold, ie. not intrinsic

we don’t take the bait, and we just pile drive him on the logical contradiction

it hit me when I was listening to nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsfyjjen debate peter

then we can explain what intrinsic value is, as it pertains to what is inside the nature, essentially to a monetary object.

and demonstrate that both gold and #bitcoin do have intrinsic value. btc just a hell of a lot more than gold

sing it.

a glass half full assessment of the problem is that in fiat, saving is punished and coercion forces adoption

so people focusing more on hodl’ing is more a market reaction as the demand for the perfect savings vehicle is so high.

and bitcoin adotion isn’t truly free, so we know it’s real and not distorted by thr barrel of a gun.

yes and yes.

both words convey the meaning of delayed beyond expectations.

retarded as pertains to cognitive capacity and tardy as pertains to timeliness.

a noob no coiner with zero time spent studying, is just ignorant, not retarded.

a no coiner with a few hours of study is retarded.

shit coiners new to crypto are ignorant.

shitcoiners who have been around for a cycle and huge retards.

“retard” is not a moral condemnation

it’s a morally neutral descriptor, no more insulting than saying you have blue eyes or are 6 feet tall.
