A few months ago I wrote this on twitter.

Figured I would bring it back here.

Bull runs tend to make everyone feel like a trading genius so you might be inclined to trade shitcoins.

Here we go 👇

If you're trading shitcoins to make more bitcoin, here are a few things to reflect on you might have overlooked:

If you currently own bitcoin you already have "enough" bitcoin; whatever trading you do for 99.9% of people won't make a difference. Of course, you think you are the .01% because that's human psyche, and casinos would not exist if this weren't the case, so you can probably stop reading.

Trading shitcoins is WORSE than any other kind of trading/gambling: if you subscribe to the idea that bitcoin is a technology for freedom, your trading shitcoins (i.e. giving them liquidity) provides oxygen to the most successful attack (to date) against bitcoin: generating confusion about what it is, and making people believe it's yet another speculative/trading vehicle. If you know this, then you, willingly or not, are participating in exploiting financial and freedom illiteracy.

We are where we put our attention; is your attention on something worthwhile, or is it focused on trading? Even if you just use X% of your attention, are you happy paying a (X%+context-switching-costs) tax to delay the world you want to see just because you want a slightly better position in a hyperbitcoinized world?

Your attention and time are WAY scarcer than bitcoin; are you protecting/respecting these as you do your cold storage?

You probably don't agree with this; otherwise, you wouldn't be trading shitcoins, but I'm writing this on the off-chance that you haven't considered this before and you were just too focused on the "I want more bitcoin" ambition.

TL;DR:

* You are wasting your life-force/energy on something that doesn't improve anyone's life, including your own.

* You are financially supporting scammers creating chaos.

* You are helping delay a tectonic shift in the amount of individual freedom.

They will criminalize everything they can with rules that are impossible to comply with.

uhh

hmm

slowing converting from a rust skeptic to rust maxi. the compiler will initially frustrate you but it is really just trying to teach you something important.

The haskell compiler is similar in a way: it forces you to think about the separation of side effects from pure code. Rust forces you to think about the correctness of references to objects in memory.

Initially it is frustrating but in the end it leads to enlightenment.

Mom was gifted a new Mac for Xmas and gave me her old one.

In my opinion, the presence of ordinals is temporary, but if the presence of ordinals becomes permanent, the solution to this problem is to use L2 for those who have a small amount of bitcoin. In other words, these intruders do not go anywhere, but bitcoiners migrate to L2.

What are your intentions for the day?

it's a joke!

How do you use apps without Google Play Services?

Nope. Closed source apps

You can’t own #Bitcoin through a third party. It’s not yours!
