It's waves, all the way down to Planck. Always has been. Kill central banking/ers.

I heard someone using that term, too damn funny.

Cheeto jesus will do more damage to Bitcoin than Roger ever could.

We are getting further and further away from sound money.

So much info on Twitter, find myself spending time there, but my account is throttled af, mainly because all the prominent people in my former industry have likely muted me — they definitely do NOT want to hear about what I’m posting. So I’m playing this rigged game of posting only for the accounts that are actively engaging, preaching to the choir, and there is no transparency, no recourse whatsoever. It’s the algo, and that’s the way it works to ā€œmaximize unregretted user secondsā€ or whatever.

But it just occurred to me that’s the future with AI. It’s going to optimize for some metric, there will be no recourse from it, and you will play a losing game trying to exist within its restrictions that do not benefit you, but are deemed necessary for some aim, some ā€œgreater good.ā€

It makes me want to delete my account, but then I feel like I’d be missing out on the network effect and the follows there. Glenn Greenwald isn’t on nostr, neither is Ashton Forbes, nor Macroscope, nor the MSTR animals, nor the Ethical Skeptic, nor PD Mangan, etc. I’ve gotten so much signal from many of these accounts.

It would be like converting all your dollars to BTC now. Admirable in a Kantian sense — *act only on that maxim you would will to be a universal law* but impractical. Now I want to buy steaks at the butcher, I have no fiat, and he has no idea.

But I am increasingly resentful that I’m being throttled and yet contributing to this fucking bullshit network. I’m playing a rigged game. Same way people who work in the fiat system feel when they understand inflation.

The solution IMO is to stop playing the game. Post less there, more here. Contribute less, take from it what value it has. Like mining fiat to stack. But it still makes me ill that I’m contributing to its network effect, giving it my energy and time.

Have you completely pivoted from the fantasy football stuff?

Such a funny account šŸ˜‚

That's an interesting one. I grew up there and he was very much alive in the 90's and 2000's. Maybe somewhere along the way timelines got switched up. šŸ˜…

I wonder how many people know this.

The programming around this topic is fascinating. As soon as you mention that many facts don't add up, people start insinuating that you suggested no Jews were rounded up and killed during the war. All the decades of Hollywood propaganda worked so well for the money maker that was the Holocaustā„¢.

Oh its value is backed by XRP? I didn't know that, haven't looked into it much. Interesting. From the stablecoin perspective, I don't see why anyone wouldn't use it over USDC/T given the superior speed and cost, provided it is running on the same ledger. But backing it with XRP gives me pause.

People are calling this the "utility run". It's going to get rough out there, I think.

So many possibilities, what do you think the catalyst could be with it?

Jeez, even the non-crypto people are talking about XRP.

A whole new segment of retail that will be holding at a loss for years to come as they throw in their savings at the worst possible time, and those few who managed to break even after 7 years of holding and haven't sold will be 'done with crypto' in time. Greed is such a funny thing.
