nostr:npub1aqrq02fm8zzcn2h3krq523l9xfya748w259gjqlfyz7x78rrkfmstw9375 has given me a bunch of opportunities that I never could have imagined, but there’s a new leader in the clubhouse.

Here’s the clip from my 40 minute interview with Jay Dyer on Infowars yesterday. https://x.com/realalexjones/status/1885485396449960153

Hopefully this will get the Alex Jones types doing something productive other than just despairing. Way to go.

No tariffs until the income tax is abolished please.

The illiterates think tariffs will only hurt the people across our borders. Wrong. nostr:note1ejratvryrxqaj2dkc69dyzn4wx56dpgus73r9pugyrmrjx559g0q09wvdq

I believe it is all literally true and am very involved in my church, read my whole Bible through every year (+ other Bible reading) donate a large portion of my income to our church and to over 20 missionaries and have been growing closer and closer to God over many years. My belief in a literal 6 day creation and a literal worldwide flood have greatly increased my faith in my God and helped me understand why He has authority over my life and the world and why He can be trusted in all things. Genesis, especially the first 11 chapters, is the foundation of everything else in the Bible (sin, marriage, men/women, clothing, death, punishment, etc.). Without this foundation, the rest of the Bible is on a very shaky foundation. If you don't believe in a literal 6 day creation, do you believe in the virgin birth? If you don't believe in a worldwide flood that wiped out every person and animal that wasn't on the ark, do you believe that Jesus was really raised from the dead on the third day? If you can pick and choose which parts are real and which parts aren't, how can you be sure that Jesus's birth, life, and resurrection are real? I believe building my faith on a foundation of stone and not a foundation of sand.

The girls who talked big about a literal Bible and drifted away were people whose foundation was men (even if they were biblical leaders) instead of on faith and the Bible. There is no direct link between a literal interpretation and leaving the faith even if you know some people who claimed to believe one thing and left the faith. Sometimes culture influences people rather than the Bible and the Spirit.

Revelation, parables etc. are not literally true. This is a feature not a bug and in no way invalidates Jesus’ life. What Genesis is exactly is a hermeneutical question. We don’t have to freak out about it.

.01BTC bet that he will have both.

Tarrifs would crazy high to make up for all the income taxes.

:(

Paul said if the resurrection isn’t true then Christians are to be pitied because it’s a sham. So it’s either fake or not. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are meant to be historical accounts.

See Wes Huff and Stephen Meyer on Joe Rogan for the case for this story being reality. nostr:note1mazzjuspxxrxuc6nzsrrsapwj57tc0sf69h6m9jk2a39mnqr2kcq3rjwzj

Day two of Bitcoin no longer being legal tender in El Salvador. Some updates...

There are a lot of people who seem to misunderstand what Legal Tender means and also how IMF loans work

Bitcoin is no longer legal tender, anyone claiming the contrary is at best misinformed. I've attached what the actual law changes are so you can read for yourself that the language was changed, removing all references as bitcoin as money or legal tender, plus the actual conditions, such as the govt accepting bitcoin for things such as taxes, are now prohibited. I've also attached a screenshot of what the definition of legal tender is

El Salvador will not be able to buy Bitcoin with the loan, either direct or indirect. This is just an ignorant cope from a lot of bitcoiners tbh. Yes, money is fungible but the IMF isn't evil because they are dumb. They set the terms and it is at their sole discretion if the sprit of those conditions are being met. This isn't my opinion this is literally how every IMF loan has been structured for decades. Read a book. I'm so tired of seeing this cope. I will once again offer this: if you think I'm wrong and that El Salvador will take this money and then use it, either direct or indirect, to buy bitcoin, then let's bet 1 Bitcoin on it. If you're right, I send you one bitcoin. If you're wrong, you donate one bitcoin to nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3

What about the one bitcoin per day program? I don't know. The language of the draft agreement doesn't seem to prohibit the continuation of that program and therefore I would have presumed that it would continue. That said, the fact they have been skipping days for the first time ever and with zero explanation makes me wonder. There is a screenshot of a three day gap in purchases from earlier this week and you can look this all up yourself on the blockchain of course

Final thoughts: The IMF is the enemy. Yesterday, today, tomorrow and EVERY DAY. This isn't necessarily about the content of the changes it's about making a deal with the devil. If you lay down with dogs, you get fleas

Thank you for your journalism sir.

Did he just buy ETH on day 1?

I can relate. Next level is pondering the fact that even if they take our Bitcoin or freedom, they can’t take the glorious inner peace of knowing and following the creator, whatever trials he allows us through.

I hope you’re right… but this dude hangs with scammers and launched two shitcoins. He’s a scammer. Very sad.

Honestly, I'm still struggling with Bitcoin soft fork proposals. I believe we will end up with full introspection: there are too many things people want to build which require it.

But most current proposals are workarounds for current limitations, which will become vestigial when/if we actually fix things. They may be simply unused, or worse, not quite useful. And it's hard to know: if we had restored script and introspection, we could see what people build and then go "ah, this opcode would make this more efficient!", but without that we are guessing.

So I really have to figure out if mevil is real. Serious people have concerns, esp nostr:nprofile1qqsr6tj32zrfn7v0pu4aheaytdnnc6rluepq73ndc2tdjzus34gat9qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhswulwwv, so they need serious consideration. If I can convince myself it is either not an issue or independent of script power, then I can reasonably purpose what Bitcoin would look like with maximal expressive power.

After that, I can look *backwards* and see if any subsets of that power make sense as stepping stones. I initially thought CTV (well, a more straightforward variant) made sense, as a common case, but brief discussions with Jonas Nick have me questioning whether it actually is still useful with full introspection (or, more clearly, what the right form would be).

As an aside: I think sponsors (done optimally) are necessary for any Bitcoin high-fee future. Feels like a side-quest though!

Sorry I don't have answers. This stuff is *not* simple, the details are critical, and some of our best minds from previous eras are absent :(

We appreciate you guys. Godspeed.
