It's like, going to an interview and after patiently waiting, you ask " and how are the benefits"? That's all that is being talked about in regards to r/Bitcoin, price action and not being shitcoin.

Stacker news is really good and you can stack sats there too. I gotta referral link if you ever wanna check it out. You can link up via your Nostr keys.

Why not just custody it themselves?

What does leadership look like in a permissionless world?

Call me old fashioned, but I think the U.S. should stop funding endless wars around the world that result in the deaths of millions of people and only serve to enrich corrupt politicians, the Military Industrial Complex, and bankers.

This guy is calling me a scammer because I bought bitcoin before him lol 😂

The absolute epitome of an orange piller.

He went bonkers pretty much. Unfollowed him when in his video about how to not get scammed some nft, he launched some nft project as a sponsor (wolf society? ) - turned out to be his rugpull token. Later, in video about dangers of financial advise gurus he promoted Yotta and so on, always dissing something as bad, then promoting his own "good" alternative which is the same shit. One could argue "he warned ya", but in reality he pretty much sold out his userbase who thought of him as "authority", while at the same time, just switching to clickbait ai generated content for segments where is is NOT rugpulling them (and thus does not care about retaining attention, just clicks).

Needless to say, Jake lived long enough to be the villain in the story, which does not exactly put his past content in good light no matter how good or researched it may appear.

I feel it's very good I have no idea what you are talking about.

Why everything has to be a conspiracy? The food industry is so evil that the CEOs sat down and hatched a plan how to make us all sick, probably buying stock in drug companies to fix it?

This sloppy thinking does not pass through the razors. It is complicated (Occam's razor) and much better explained by stupidity (Hanlon's razor) than malice.

People are confused by this, because they see emergent behavior. Yes, everything has sugar, because sugar sells. There's no conspiracy, the companies are selling people what they want. So don't want what is not good for you.

I know that it's much more fun to believe that there's an evil with a face and name causing all our troubles rather than saying people demand this and market supplies.

People can't agree on a date of a meeting with five people. But world wide conspiracy flourishes, it's kept mostly secret (except of you, right? You're one of the few that know about it, because someone tweeted about it).

Conspiracies are for people who want to complain and find whose fault something is. Much better approach for each individual - identify what's good for you and demand it. And don't get fooled by emergent behavior in complex systems. It might feel planned, but it just appears out of trillions of interactions. Yes, it's magic. Soros, Gates and Klaus don't have much more say in it than you do.

just dont fckn dance

Look, Trump got 2 million less votes than 2020. The problem was that Harris got 14 million less votes than Biden. Democrats lost because they failed to inspire and turn out their voters. Not because more people supported Trump this time than last.

Trump did his thing. But this was a failure of the Democratic party to do what it needs to do to win elections. You’ve got to run for something that can inspire people, not just against the other guy.

Off the top of my head the only policy I remember Harris advocating for that was unique was a $25k subsidy for first time homebuyers. That wouldn’t do a damned thing to make housing more affordable. Oh and she’ll continue to fund the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

Trump promised all sorts of crazy things like mass deportation, tariffs, no taxes on tips, and stopping imaginary in school trans surgeries. Doesn’t matter that the deportations are cruel, the tariffs and exemptions for tips are bad economic ideas and kids aren’t getting gender affirming care in schools. Hell, even project 2025 shows there’s a ton of proactive policies. Not good ones or ones i want, but lots exist.

I supported Harris and followed the election but can’t think of what she’d do if elected differently than Biden. She failed to get people to vote for her. That’s the long and short of it.

I hear Kamala Harris has conceded. For just a moment, I'm going to abandon the high-decoupling rationalist stance I normally post from and talk about what I personally wanted from this election and now hope I might get.

For me, a good outcome in this election meant not Trump winning, but his enemies losing.

I'm not MAGA, and not a tribal conservative of either the old-school or new-school kind. I'm a libertarian, and have some serious differences with substance with Trump and his partisans.

Also I have never much liked Trump as a person. He's vulgar and under-controlled; he talks and postures too much and, I think the charge that he's a narcissist has some weight. But...he chooses his enemies well.

I will also admit that I think better of Trump now than I did three months ago. He has demonstrated literal courage under fire, which is an important quality in a man who may need to make life or death decisions about the fate of a nation. I went to see him speak, and I saw a man much calmer and more together than I was expecting.

But I'm not really posting about Trump today, and the only other thing I'm going to say about him is that his most valuable quality is that he enrages evil people into unmasking themselves.

I have believed for decades that the central problem of American politics is defeating the Gramscian long march through our institutions. Covert and not-so-covert Marxists have waged a remarkably successful memetic war. it has many manifestations - blatant bias in the mainstream media, welfare statism, DEI, climate alarmism, transgender ideology, open borders - but the goal is always the same. To cripple and destroy the Main Enemy, the United States of America and everyone in it who loves liberty.

Trump's victory is the worst defeat of the Gramscians in my lifetime. They went all-in with an unprecedented campaign of lies, vitriol, hate propaganda, lawfare, and election rigging. He beat them anyway, and for that he has my respect.

What I want from the immediate aftermath of the election is to rejoice in their agonized screaming. What I want from Trump and Republican control of both houses is follow-through:

1. Impose election security measures so we can't be frauded again.

2. Abolition of every federal firearms law and regulation, including the disbandment of the ATF. We must restore the proper Constitutional order in which the government is frightened of the people, not the reverse.

3. Massive cuts in the reach and power of the administrative state. No unelected bureaucrat should ever have the power to effectively make law.

4. A concerted and conscious attempt to drive the Communists and Communist tools out from everywhere that they have burrowed into our institutions, perhaps starting with the complete defunding of any educational institution that harbors academic Marxists.

Yes, I know, many of these people don't know they're Communist tools. I'm past caring. I've been ready to throw them out of helicopters with my own hands since about 2014, hoping against hope that something would happen to make that kind of violence unnecessary.

Now, maybe, we have a path to defeating them peacefully. I'm not sure Trump fully understands this necessity himself, but there are people close to him - notably Elon Musk and Ron Paul - who I'm pretty sure do.

The first thing we need to do is be able to name the enemy. Conservatives have been cowards about this ever since the Army-McCarthy hearings a few years before I was born. They became afraid to speak about or explicitly oppose Communist infiltration, and we have been paying an increasing price for that cowardice through my entire lifetime.

Conservatives? MAGA people? If you really want to make America great again, make defeat of the Gramscians your cause. Name the enemy. Expose them. Defeat them. They have crippled, divided, and corrupted us for far too long. It's time to take our country back.

Do you pronounce “hodl” with:

1) a long “O” as in “no”?

2) a short “O” as in “hot”?

Thank you sir! Excited to learn how this all works!

Unfortunately too many people are subservient to the most dangerous superstition of all today, belief in authority. So, sacrifice of one kind or another still proliferates in the world until now. Thanks for the message. 🙏

Have a wonderful day man 🧡
