Sounds like the book just wasn't for him, but it also surprises me he made it past DAEMON with so many misgivings.

To me, any book is like a shop of ideas. I'm not required to buy everything the shop is selling. I come in, I enjoy what I see, and I carefully select the inspiration I want to take with me when I leave.

There are a lot of good ideas in Freedom.

The same bitcoiners who rightfully defend Lyn here will also shit on #Softwar without having turned a single page. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The moral of the story is don't judge books before you've read them.

It's not about privacy. It's funny, how apparently people got so used to it, perhaps it's not easy to get my point across.

I reject the design of how the video was edited. This is that whole ADHD causing & inducing type of hyperactive video style, which is typical for Tik Tok.

When I want something explained by a genius like Snowden, I don't need any mid-titles, music, crazy cuts & crops to feel entertained. I'm already extremely entertained by the genius himself & what he says. I don't need this whole circus around it.

Gonna be a good year, can’t let Man City have all the fun

Just want to say, that while the content is obviously to be agreed with, I strongly reject the tiktokification of the video. I wish it would've just been a video of him explaining it, rather than adding unnecessary mid-titles, blocking the view of his face.

The music wasn't too annoying, but definitely also superfluous.

Might be controversial, but I'd like a not zapping option on creating poll.

amazing bro perfect weekend

what are you working on this weekend?

Pump the token you printed from thin air with only a billion of derivative open interest; create tens of billions of value.

It's relatively easy too, you have proprietary info on the only liquid spot and derivatives market it trades on at the time. Futures collateralized with stablecoins and the token itself, pump it.

+4,000% in one year. $100+ billion in market cap. Your share, a mirage worth nearly $50b, materializes a mere four years after the ICO. A treasure and a trap, you enable your users to collateralize against it. Encourage this, and of course encourage them to also keep buying, this thing won't simply just support itself.

How do you capitalize? Well, first off, do NOT sell anything, that'd be too risky, as there are no natural buyers in size, you are the market. Instead, think of other ways to leverage your near immortal levels of newfound wealth, where you won't damage the exchange rate. Your own platform enables this, of course.

Access to billions of dollars of fiat flows, an international banking network, and a stablecoin issued in your name—which you even manage to rehypothecate by the billion—gives you plenty of tools at your disposal.

Your biggest competitor, who attempted to mirror your model, goes down in flames, their bluff called, with the world watching. A win at first, you shortly realize the move backfires. Regulators start circling, a precedent has been set.

Fiat rails and banking relationships get cut. Your stablecoin is ordered to wind down, and jurisdiction by jurisdiction your platform is ordered to cease. Volatility and volumes dwindle, further thinning the air.

Depleted of fiat, with most of your wealth tied to a 'Hotel California' asset that you can never sell hanging above multi-year support, you do and say anything to keep the confidence game alive.

freedom is basically suarez's version of freedom tech "utopia"

daemon + freedom books by daniel suarez are a fun take on a potential nostr + bitcoin future
