Why do you think small blocks are still good for #bitcoin?

I went to this restaurant on a mountain. But the food was absolute dogshit.

There was a silver lining though. Everyday in Cairo I come across friendly cats that like to be pet and are hungry. I never happen to have food for them, and feel bad every time.

But this time I was like, “You know what? Go to town.” So I gave it all to the cats.

I have empathy for the people reinforcing their worldview through centralized money and media.

The vast majority of peoples thoughts and actions are so influenced by that control, (and believe that they are not) that they unwittingly give it more power.

Scary that the average person doesn’t know how bad the debt situation is. The US government just hit $33 trillion in debt yesterday.

Being the central bank for the world is untenable and will result in a epic collapse of the dollar.

Educating as many people about Bitcoin is imperative. This isn’t some esoteric exercise that can’t take generation to play out. We need to onboard as many people as we can TODAY if we are to survive the collapse intact as a country and a people. Now is not the time to rest on our laurels.

Which institutions do you feel are not corrupt? We always here about the corrupt ones, but which are solid?

I am about to merge it on Amethyst.

Simply put, the combination of

- Chrstianity with one god

- the king becoming God's representative, religious leader and protector of the parish, which would be the people of Norway

- the concept of heaven and hell

was the complete opposite of what they had prior to that. This lowered people's time preference in several ways, most notably be taking their focus away from the importance of protecting your own bloodline. When they didn't have any promise of eternal life after death, as it was with their former religion, their focus would naturally be on honor, grateness and the name of their own family.

It's kins of counterintuitive, because the Norse religion has been seen as something barbaric, while Christianity was more human.

I guess it matters a lot how you practice your religion.

But of course, the king wouls try to corrupt Christianity and remodel this religion into becoming political tools, "weaponizing" the religion you might said.

And this paved the way for weaponizing the money.

The rest is history, as they say.

As some of you know I believe Bitcoin can give us back monetary freedom again; that is, the right to use the money we like best.

I hold this freedom to be the single most important of them all.

And as I've said repeatedly, my ancestors in Trøndelag were probably living in the part of the civilized world in the West that managed to keep their monetary freedom the longest.

They lost it in 1050 AD with Harald Hardråde's killing of Einar Tambarskjelve.

It's beginning to sink in with me what the most important reason was:

A lowering of my ancestors' time preference, over a period of approximately two generations, or about 60 years.

This was probably enough to make them betray their simple code, which in essence said that every Trønder was obliged to kill the King who didn't rule by consent.

Once the betrayel was a fact, there was no turning back.

We ended up with which soon will be a full 1000 years of tyranny, where we have got small ruling class, and one big class of serfs.

That's a fakin big price to pay for betraying the code.

Unforgiveable.

But explainable.

Now, this change, which happened over the 60 years prior to 1050 AD, probably had everything to do with religion.

And herein lies the challenge:

Revealing this analysis in Arrow of Truth will probably make many people pissed at me.

So be it.

It's more important to learn from the story.

People being mad at me is unimportant in this perspective.

The social layer of Bitcoin is what may constitute Bitcoin's weakest link.

And if we don't learn from the past, we are bound to live with a high risk of repeaing the same mistake.

I'd rather would like to avoid that, if I could.

You’re currently dying into each moment-

-yet still hold a fear of death.

You are the Eternal Witnessing Consciousness Observing Your own imaginary projection.

You are actually…Immortal.

Only Your own momentary illusions seem to die.

Once Understood, You will finally relax.

ChatGPT just told me climate change was a factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire

Must say, even as someone who admires Ancient Rome, I found myself rooting for Vercingetorix and the Celts throughout their many battles with the Romans.

His heroism against the most powerful foe on earth, and his ability to unite warring Celts for a common cause, is inspiring. nostr:note1hg7j2uv9zhed7axrpzk6dfff4hvuwf5danrgypqh9htyd08d9f6qw3d77x

Congratulations to this guy, because of his incredible pep talk and I’m no longer a victim of abuse!

I’ve skipped right over the trauma from a severely mentally unstable family to having fun!

K. Have fun with that friend.

I hate that I have to heal from things that are not my fault.

I think if you really care about them you should keep trying but with love and compassion (with common sense of course!)

It can be difficult in short term but it creates healthy long term relationships.
