“Coercion is evil precisely because it eliminates an individual as a thinking and valuing person and makes him a bare tool in the achievement of the ends of another.”

Another morning to share free ideas, no Algo, no censorship.
“The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.”
— Ludwig von Mises
“What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.”
- Thomas Sowell 👀

This apology may come off as a bit out of character for Corndalorian, but it’s not out of character for me (the retard behind Corndalorian). A couple of days ago I ripped into nostr:nprofile1qqsr4dxga2tu69jdzlmgnyxpqphzr6rlxx53nfcp8m8jmt3wg95n3lgpramhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnwda4k7arpwfhjucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshshd2ls8 pretty harshly over a reply to one of my posts. It was too much, and since I did it in a public thread, I want to apologize to him publicly. 🫡
We all make mistakes, but not everyone admits them and faces up to them. 🫂💜
“A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death.
A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society.
Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.”
— Ludwig von Mises
What information do you have to share about Larry Fink and the deep state?

“Statism is a system of institutionalized violence and perpetual civil war. It leaves men no choice but to fight to seize political power -- to rob or be robbed, to kill or be killed... Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.”

Evolution of Money: From Free Market to State Monopoly
1. Spontaneous Origin of Money
• Money was not created by governments but emerged naturally in markets.
• People began using certain goods (salt, cocoa, shells, livestock, metals) because they were easier to trade.
• Over time, gold and silver prevailed as the most efficient money due to their properties: durability, divisibility, scarcity, among others.
2. State Appropriation
• Once gold and silver were universally accepted, kings and governments monopolized coin minting, stamping them with their seal.
• Legal tender laws were introduced, forcing people to accept certain currencies by decree.
• With the rise of central banks, physical money was replaced by paper (banknotes) that in theory represented gold, but in practice allowed the monetary supply to expand beyond reserves.
3. The Break with Gold
• In the 20th century, states ultimately abandoned the gold standard.
• In 1971, Richard Nixon ended the dollar’s convertibility into gold, establishing a regime of pure fiat money (based on trust in the State, not on tangible backing).
• Since then, governments have used money printing to finance deficits, wars, and bank bailouts, generating inflation and loss of purchasing power.
4. The Birth of Bitcoin (2009)
• After the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin emerged as a non-state, decentralized digital money with immutable rules.
• It limits issuance to 21 million coins, returning to the idea of hard scarcity like gold.
• It revives the spirit of market-driven spontaneous money, but with technology that makes it resistant to censorship, counterfeiting, and political manipulation.
5. Separation of Money and State
• Just as the separation of Church and State led to greater civil liberties, Bitcoin proposes the separation of money and State.
• It is a return to a basic principle: money should arise from the market and serve the people, not the rulers.
⸻
📌 In summary:
Spontaneous money → State capture → Fiat money → Bitcoin restores sovereignty.
