As long as I have access to electricity, the nuclear umbrella, medical care, clean water, Busch light, phone (for my nostr feed), internet, hvac, modern plumbing, and transportation, I’m in. Aside from that, yeah, screw those guys.
Popularity is a winner take all market. If we really want freedom, this is what it is. Darwinian.
If the goal were to build something popular, then it needs retooling. If the goal were to build permissionless social media, then it’s a success.
Nice! Now do the bullish case?
It’s good to live with the world reserve currency. Not great for the rest of the world, but bitcoin fixes.
Things haven’t gotten bad enough for people to care about permissionless social media. No demand, until there is.
Boom! Congrats man, what a monumental life accomplishment. So thankful to have your insights available here on nostr. You’ve taught me a lot already.
I like how they use the curtains to keep out the riff raff. I’d be in the back smirking about how many sats I just stacked with my econo-seat
With money supply growing at 7% per year, low fixed interest rate debt is the smartest move you can make, as long as you use it to buy scarce assets and don’t over-leverage. It’s a tool. I use debt all the time in investing, and it keeps me liquid because I don’t spend all my good money (bitcoin) on new assets. I can use shitty borrowed fiat that debases faster than the interest payment. Make the banks pay us some of that back after decades of robbing us blind.
Doesn’t matter. Either bitcoin had the fitness to survive in the wild or it doesn’t. If saylor is enough to wreck it, it definitely shouldn’t serve as the global reserve currency. That said, I’m long BTC.
Gm. Our man nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu is selling 50 copies of this hyper scarce special edition book.
The sale starts in ~40 mins.
Don’t miss your opportunity to buy this piece of bitcoin history!
Is scarcity secured through a decentralized protocol?
9 uncompromising statements about how immoral everything is. Not one positive thing? You don’t have one good thing to say about your country? How is that not blanket? These are just pejorative statements designed to flare the anger of a certain demographic. It’s no better than what the media is doing. Next time, check your own incentives before shitting all over my home. Christ man, I may as well watch an episode of the View.
Normally, I wouldn’t care, but you represent a movement that I believe in. The thing that fixes this is bitcoin adoption, and it’s not going to happen if we’re constantly ranting to everyone about how corrupt and blind they all are. Anyway, this conversation is bringing out a side of me I don’t particularly like, so I’m done. GN man. I hate that this got so nasty, but I’m really hurt by it.
You have some good points, what I disagree with are blanket statements about how terrible the US is. Usually it doesn’t bother me, but tonight it just rubbed me the wrong way.
If it was god given, everyone would have it. No, it’s granted and protected by the constitution of the very entity you hate so much.
Dude, you represent us. Get some world experience before you endlessly badmouth the country that gives you such a comfortable life.
No, it’s hyperbole. Dude, you pissed me off with this. Take your blame America first crap and shove it.
Wtf is this? No American today has any idea what real tyranny looks like. Yeah, our system has problems, but compared to what? Some fairy tale you’ve created in your head? We have a lot to be thankful for, and we need to remember that before carpet bombing the whole thing. This is why so many people can’t stand the bitcoin community, because we sound like a bunch of spoiled kids whining when our phone battery dies.
