Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I May leave twitter forever next month.

Indeed. Many great points of discussion. Best illustration of why simply stacking and building on bitcoin in midst of banking crisis is the answer, ā€œIf your solution requires permission from the corrupt system you already have then you are doomed to failā€. -ODELL. Same goes for building on Nostr rather than waiting on €L0N. Kudos to all the devs just doing it w/o permissions.

How would one be first to withdraw in a bankrun on stables? Withdraw to usd cash or convert to btc ? Either puts the user at the mercy of the exchange to send to a bank acct or cold wallet but I know what I’d do. Have no idea if this has anything to do with flight to safety.

LAGARDE SAID PEOPLE WILL USE AN ESCAPE HATCH IF PROVIDED. FOSS SAID RISK HAPPENS FAST. WHERE WILL ANONS PUT THEIR STABLE?

Who knew Christine Lagard was first referring to ā€œstablesā€ when she said that if people needed an escape hatch, they’d use bitcoin? but it only makes sense. This is the first step in the stampede towards store of value outside the failing system.

There’s a reason for the Dunbar number and Nostr let’s me curate it just like I do in the real world. I don’t look for friends in dangerous places but Twtr promotes the idea that algos can think better than you to find what you like but instead hijacks thinking to find things your amygdalae ā€œlikesā€

Yes but not on legacy system. Not signing up w sub stack, no email, no patreon no cc. V4V. See a headline or story of interest, zap creator, get content delivered to a public key id. How that happens at scale is next thing I’m curious about.

In Bruges worth it. Banshees is like a bitcoiner getting away from his no coiner friends but no coiners just want to keep forcing him to stop. As ridiculous as the destructive civil war they hear across the bay

Yes. Simply reasoned I think a weakened or compromised cell or organism that is stressed or deprived of energy will tend to weaken to expiration quicker than the strong. Higher rates of autophagy make more sense for a 5 day fast than intermittent which may allow hangers on to survive whether or not one believes if studies of either are conclusive. A 5 day FMD is kind of a hybrid but one will feel day 3 and 4 effects in a noticeable way. FMD 3 times/yr has been a good trade off for strict I/F for 350 days/ yr ( or less). Just 2 sats worth.

npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq Wallet of Satoshi is one option. But you knew that.

I’m going to zap you bitcoin sats as soon as you post an lnurl or lightning wallet address.
