Another day in the salt mines of decentralized protocols and #BTC zaps ⚡️
There is a new print in that is called The Fourth Turning is Here by one of the two authors Neil Howe (William Strauss passed away). The first book was published in 1997 and there is this paragraph in it saying that after 2005 we should see a great financial crisis, a pandemic, and Russia invading Latvia. Well they got the latter country wrong but will not hold that against them.
It analyses thousands of years of history and it identifies that there is a 80 year cycle, starting from the premise that generations create history and history creates generations. So our next turning is in 2030s. Last was in 1940s, remember WW2 and the Breton Woods system, it just turned 80 years old. So BTC monetary system might be the next thing if we have a successful Fourth Turning. Lyn Alden was also quite into this pattern and it complements really well Broken Money.
Holiday is coming up. And I’m still in need of a good book to take with me. What would you recommend?
I’m thinking to buy Broken Money by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a
Any other recommendations in that category?

Broken Money yes, highly recommended.
But look at The Fourth Turning as well.
Happens to me as well, time away from Nostr. Then I come back and can express freely. And get zaps ⚡️ as well
Printing money is equivalent to changing the rules of the game: it is cheating.
No wonder turning on the printing presses pisses everyone off!
#Bitcoin is a game that makes cheating impossible, which makes it fun and rewarding to play.

You’re right. People then start voting, for what: extremism, politicians that manipulate and lie, talk to appeal to their anger and emotion. This is the Fourth Turning, that is why it is dangerous. Elections are not about reason now and the masses are suffering and have no #BTC. Choppy times ahead!
“A sly roundabout way to take money out of the hands of government” - Hayek
That is Bitcoin
Best invention of governments. In the wise words of Hayek, money was not allowed to be free by the State and so it never developed. It is just abused. Bitcoin is the “sly roundabout way” we have for freedom.
Draw parallels between Atlas Shrugged and the Fourth Turning. Powerful stuff.

I pay for parking all the time, no parking structures get build.
Is it just me or is there nothing new on X when there is no controversial economy news being broadcasted by Trump or Elon. X feels like a propaganda machine.
:)) you would think X would be like: can’t do this to my dad.
Twitter turned 18 and has no respect for older generations
We are told it is a cyberattack. I bet Elon will say it is the Democrats. The shadow government and DOGE will fix it.
X team working hard on bringing the manipulation and propaganda machine back online.
