They don't need to print - a large gold stack and booming oil exports is quite enough.

I was referring to the west’s endless printing

The future will be planned, developed and run by men and women with guts who build and invest in companies that build the future. This has always been true. Open Source is not a cult or a hat you can wear while you gush on a “Podcast” or hide in a ghetto echo chamber.

History shows that Closed Source Software can dominate because the public has no interest in “Open Source”, and most advocates for it can’t put aside their pride to push companies that refuse to pander to infantilism and nonsense.

Winning in the market means embracing the rules of the market; that means promoting the good guys if you have a voice, not just Virtue Signalling to your audience. It means building companies and serving people, not just talking about it endlessly. Thankfully there are a handful of men and women who understand this and who are making the sacrifices required so that others can claim success for other people’s work.

This is true in Bitcoin obviously. No one cares that it is Open Source, and if a closed source copy comes to market that harms consumers, “CBDCs”, just as Micro$oft dominated, CDBCs will dominate…but don’t feel bad; fanboys will post on Nostr from their Windows laptops that “THE OPEN SAUCE REVOLUTION IS COMING!”.

People who refuse to promote Bitcoin companies but cheer on the names of the tools and philosophies and who refuse to invest in companies are the sort of person you should strive not to be, if you want to see the problems Bitcoin was written to fix get solved. And by the way, those problems can be solved by closed source tools; it’s a safe bet that most of the people drooling over Open Source and requiring it for their tools are not developers and can’t write “Hello World” in C.

SOMEBODY has to be realistic

SOMEBODY has to face the problems head on

SOMEBODY has to take things seriously

SOMEBODY has to stop playing to the peanut gallery

Make sure that somebody is YOU.

Glad Rothschild took stage for it though, it shows the world who is pulling the strings.

Old European banking families and the Vatican have gone hand in hand for centuries

Well not necessarily the the climate stuff but the reaction to it. Like replacing base load with flexible load when generating energy or going from paper currencies to fully digital government-controlled currencies. All in the name of stopping climate change which still don't make sense to me even now.
