Freedom is the sea. Individuality is the course you set.

#Bitcoin is only of value to the egoist if it serves him. Every elevation of bitcoin to an ideal, symbol or lifeline is nothing but new nonsense. I consume bitcoin, I will not let bitcoin consume me.

Collectivism is like a ship where everyone rows, but no one knows where it is going. In the end, everyone drowns because no one takes responsibility.

Communism and national socialism may seem like a bow and a sling - different at first glance, but with similar functions, especially in their shared time. Both are tools of collectivist ideologies that rely on totalitarianism, enemy images and the subordination of the individual. But from a historical perspective - with the knowledge of the invention of gunpowder, i.e. more modern political and social developments - these differences lose their significance.

While communism and National Socialism have different ideological foundations, there are structural and practical overlaps, particularly in the totalitarian exercise of power, collectivism, centralized control, and systematic violence. At their core, both systems opposed individual freedom and relied on state-controlled order. Communism has different forms. I stick to my view.

hitler was a communist

weidel is a communist

musk is a communist

The collective is a chimera, a shadow that devours you as you search for belonging.

Progress seeks the unknown, tradition clings to the known. Those who glorify tradition want to escape progress.

Individuality chooses itself, conformity is imposed on you. Those who ask you to conform fear your independence.

If Bitcoin is digital property and Bitcoiners are becoming autonomous/sovereign individuals, the historical analogy of being paid in Bitcoin for services lines up with pledging allegiance to a nobleman / Lord or Baron & getting a land grant as a fief.

Vassals would receive land grants as a reward for loyalty, but it wasn't that they owned the land, they could use it. The noble retained the rights to the property & could reclaim it on disloyalty or death.

Eventually the descendants of vassals could inherit the land but they would still have to pay homage & fealty to the lord/nobleman to keep it.

Vassals of a lord/baron were expected to do things such as accompany them on travel as an entourage, give them counsel on legal matters, fight with them in battle (or hire a mercenary) & let the lord & his servants use their accommodations when required.

With bitcoin lending & miniscript maturing, this could actually come to fruition a lot sooner than we think.

Imagine giving a fiefdom of 1 BTC to a vassal of your citadel where you are using a composable miniscript multisig setup that allows for your vassal to borrow against the BTC and "work his digital property" ... but the even of disloyalty (he doesn't pay back the loan) or death, the BTC comes back into your treasury.

For viceroys, castellans or other direct reports declare allegiance to your digital citadel, a blockchain property grant of X BTC could be created as a reward to demonstrate your trust & support, or if you want it to be earned it could take the form of a decaying multisig that decays to just a single sig or multisig that is in their control after X time of proving loyalty.

Such systems could work, but only for collectivists or hierarchy lovers – not for autonomous minds.

Self-sufficiency does not mean that I do not form connections, but that I form connections that are appropriate for me, not out of a lack. Self-love does not have to be enough, it just has to be strong enough to protect me from dependence and self-abandonment.

There is no second best? Bullshit. Everyone has their own preferences – whats ‘best’ for one person is just mediocre for another. Success is not a universal ranking, but a personal interpretation.

#Bitcoin is like a mirror. It shows how much you really value freedom – or how comfortable you are in the cage.
