The fact that the fiat system always seems to be approaching collapse but never does should tell you something. The risks of the dollar suddenly losing value for so long must be offset by something.
What could that something be? What else can it be other than the risk that the dollar explodes in value.
Since a slowly devaluing dollar is their stated goal, believe them. Since their goal has been moved to an average 2% per year devaluation of the dollar over time, beware that debt could become more costly over time as well…it doesn’t always mean that debt will be easier to repay down the road…it could get harder too.
Anybody familiar with vitamin B17?

I’m currently reading ‘World Without Cancer’ from G. Edward Griffin. I’m skeptical of the deficiency hypothesis, but I did encounter some interesting findings that I could use some perspective on.
So, B17 / laetrile / amygdalin breaks down into three parts in the human body. One part is hydrogen cyanide. According to the ‘laetrilists’ the cyanide is detoxified by rhodanese / thiosulfate transferase (TST). Rhodanese is expressed by mitochondria in healthy human cells and underexpressed in cancer cells (I could find some scientific backing for this, but not overwhelming). So the hypothesis is that cancer cells are destroyed by the hydrogen cyanide, while healthy cells detoxify the hydrogen cyanide into thiocyanate.
Thiocyanate, that sounded familiar. Why? Because of isothiocyanates. Recently a lot of papers are published on broccoli sprouts as ‘green chemo’. The most abundant isothiocyanate (sulfuraphane) in broccoli sprouts has downstream anti-cancer effects.
Since iso indicates a different configuration, I assume it should be possible to convert thiocyanates into isothiocaynates for a double anti-cancer whammy. But my bio-chemistry is not sufficient to really find proof for this.

Above my pay grade.
But there are a number of cancer conspiracy allegations out there. I haven’t seen any evidence to support any of them in my profession. But I’m not optimally positioned in the system to observe such evidence.
Just be aware there are a lot of such allegations. Oh, and ivermectin or vitamins are the answer to everything. Allegedly. Repeatedly allegedly. And these allegations are sometimes most vocally stated by people with a profit motive…it’s not just big Pharma that can have a financial agenda.
I knew you were up to the nation state thing…and have been for a while now. I had trouble understanding the move initially, but I think I get it now.
There is a phase change in global power and politics coming in the not too distant future.
There will be new winners in this game, and some nations that are not historically winners are closer to winning than they realize.
But they have to act and act soon; first mover advantage is huge in this game.
Move to Arizona. Cheap and sunny.
If I were Samson Mow, I’d focus on countries that can have luxury electricity production, either by stranded energy or ability to afford over provisioning. nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a
These nations will have an outsized impact on global politics in the future.
Yup. It’s actually a very serious and very sad diagnosis, when properly rendered. It’s not common. But it’s not exceedingly rare either.
After you have paper gains higher than the level the average person feels is acceptable, the politician willing to steal from you to give to them will be elected.
I’ve been in bitcoin since July 2010…literally the same week I started residency. Bitcoin lets me do what I had always planned to do, but without having to waste time pretending to be an investment specialist in addition to a radiologist.
Your ownership is in violation of their preferences.
They could just offer to buy it…
Smart move. I’d like to think I’m positioned similarly, between medical school debt and a mortgage, but my income is denominated on these pesky dollars which kind of makes me long the dollar…but I ditch them as rapidly as is reasonable.
Which one of these is not like the other? I’ll give you a hint; one ends up in jail at an alarming rate.
High interest rates lower federal government revenue by keeping stock prices low. Thus more borrowing must happen than if low interest rates pushed capital gains taxes into the treasury. Not only that, borrowing costs are higher and are spread over all the people (either in terms of more future taxes or less government handouts)…
So, in short, high interest rates function as a tax on everyone, not just the “rich” who own most financial assets.
This may be viewed as fair or unfair depending on your views regarding personal responsibility and the degree to which capitalism has been corrupted to benefit the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Too processed.
What is the fat content of breast milk?
Goat milk is substantially higher than goats milk, which seems like it would make good iced cream, but I don’t see it anywhere.
Wherever there is excess energy, bitcoin will grow this region.
In the future, nation state power will be derived from the excess energy their economy can generate. Mining rules and policies will be enforced based on this luxury energy production; consensus rules will be enforced by the masses.
What happens when nation state law requires rejecting a valid block? Nation states enforcing such laws will find their excess energy investment wasted, as far as bitcoin is concerned. But such forks could be spared from irrelevance by declaring such coins valid for taxes, I suppose.
While nation states may try to Balkanize bitcoin, such forks will always be inferior to Bitcoin.
I do not believe in the phrase “your own truth.”
Why can’t we just call it an opinion and stop glorifying our own thought processes and preferences?
Has anyone noticed that the S2F model and Giovanni’s power law model are essentially the same if you make the substitution S2F=time^2?
Both yield an exponent of about 6 for time.
I feel like this is somehow meaningful, but I can’t fully see it all.
It’s a convenience item. I use it in paranoid mode. But I don’t have to.
You can calculate your own private keys by hand from dice rolls, but I choose not to.
But nobody would ever disagree that minimizing trust is always safe, presuming you don’t outsmart yourself.
