In the fiat standard by #[0] he makes solid points about how the food industry pulled a bait and switch from a meat diet to a grain/plant based diet. However someone will have to give me more insight into how/why they believe farm raised cattle full of antibiotics and other disease is “healthy”. If I raised my own cattle and could verify it’s health I’d feel better about the nutritional value eating cattle provides.

오랜만에 생존 신고 합니다. primal 통계로 보니, 노스터 시작시점에 약 40만명이였는데 현재는 55만명을 넘어가고 있네요. 날씨가 많이 덥지만 무더위는 지나가고 있습니다. 비트코인은 왜 선물 시장을 먼저 개설하게 되었을까요? 곰곰히 생각해보면 아주 간단합니다. 많은 사람들이 마치 비트코인이 미래 광부 수수료 문제와 광부들의 집중화 현상을 해결하지 못한것처럼 생각하고 해결해야될 커다란 문제인것처럼 얘기하지만, 개인적으로 알아본 결과로는 사토시는 이미 그것마저 해결해서 세상에 내놓았습니다. 무슨 말인지 제가 설명을 한다고 한들, 동의하지 않을 분이 계실것을 잘 알고 있기에 말을 아낍니다. 적을 죽일수 없다면, 포섭하는것이 당연할 것입니다. 선물시장이라는건 결국 현물을 뺏기위한 수단이 됩니다. 간단합니다. 그저 신뢰하면 되는것 그뿐입니다. 유튜브로 아르헨티나 현재 경제상황을 보면 너무나 신기합니다. 자국 법정화폐의 기능이 무너진 현실을 너무나 적나라하게 볼수 있습니다. 원화가 무너진다면 수천만명의 사람들이 하루아침에 비트코인의 가치를 진정으로 알게 될수도 있습니다. 단지 우리가 겪지 않아서 무감각하게 느껴질 뿐입니다. 자산가라면 본인의 부를 지키기위해서 분산투자는 필수일 것입니다. 비트코인을 누가 몇개 가지고 있는지 다 분석할수 없기 때문에 공표되진 않지만, 그들은 조급해하지 않습니다. 단지 그뿐입니다. 지금도 물론 비트코인을 죽일수는 없지만, 그것이 더 명확하게 설명될수록 가격은 끝없이 올라가게 될것입니다. 졸려서 이만 줄입니다. 모두 행복하세요.

자유로운 상태는 자신의 힘으로 스스로를 지킬 수 있을 때 얻을 수 있다. #Bitcoin

호신용품을 하나씩 구비하고 있을 때, 주위에선 그렇게까지 할 필요가 있느냐고 물었다. 전쟁이나 자연재해 등을 대비해 생존 가방을 구성할 때도, 주위에서는 그럴 필요가 있느냐고 물었다. 나의 이런 준비를 대부분은 이해 안 되는 유별난 행동이라고 생각하는 듯했다.

그런데 최근 발생한 비극적인 사건들로 인해 이제는 모두가 호신용품의 필요성을 느끼고 있다. 생존 가방 역시 언젠간 모두가 그 필요성에 공감할 것이다. 생존과 관련된 문제에 대해 제삼자에게 기대는 순간 살아남기를 포기하는 것이 되어버리기 때문이다. 나보다 더 나를 살리고 싶어 하는 사람은 몇 없을 것이다.

다른 사람들보다 이런 준비를 미리 할 수 있었던 것은 비트코인 덕분이었다. 비트코인은 경제적인 계층에서 나를 지키는 수단이다. 호신용품을 준비하지 않는 것, 생존 가방을 준비해 두지 않는 것은 비트코인을 개인 지갑이 아닌 거래소에 두는 것과 같다.

운동에 다시 도전한지 약 한 달이 되어간다. 과거에는 운동해야 하는 동기가 부족해 꾸준히 하지 못했고 성과를 보지도 못했다. 하지만 이젠 동기가 명확해져서인지 운동에 흥미가 붙기 시작했다. 정신적으로 내가 중심이 되어 사고하고, 육체적으로 내가 중심이 되어 소중한 사람을 지킬 수 있을 때 자유에 한 걸음 다가갈 수 있다.

비트코인은 나에게 자유라는 가치를 얻을 수 있는 길을 알려주었다.

코리안비트코이너들의 Nostr 이주가 성공적으로 진행되는듯 하다. 먼저와서 땅을 다져주신 분들 정말 멋집니다. 앞으로 잽으로 보답하겠습니다. 🫡

good morning nostr, we cannot expect to reason with the oligarchs of our time - we must route around them - freedom tech fixes this 🫡

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

it is happening naturally - gradually then suddenly

What book are you currently reading? Looking for inspiration...

Self-esteem is a scam.

The concept itself is from the psychobabble of the 60s and 70s and it's no coincidence that it emerged during the final death throes of the gold-exchange standard.

When you are no longer pushing the frontier, you look inward and try to convince yourself that you're doing something useful when you aren't. It's delusion that's necessary for rent-seekers because deep down, they know they're leeches.

Don't focus on esteeming yourself when you don't deserve it. Do something worthy of esteem instead.

Retreat to the physical

If you have an atheistic world-view, it's very hard to even acknowledge the existence of the metaphysical. Does a soul exist? What is meaning? Do abstract things exist?

What I've seen in this case is that such people generally retreat to the physical in some way, usually to some brain chemistry. In a sense, I can't blame them. If you deny the metaphysical, the physical is all you have and the closest thing in the physical world to the spiritual is the brain.

Yet it's a profoundly unsatisfying explanation. It's an attempt to sneak in the numinous and pretending that the cheap knock-off brand is somehow just as good.

On Bitcoin Adoption

---------------------

There's a significant divide in the Bitcoin community at present, revolving around the adoption narrative. How does Bitcoin achieve widespread adoption? What conditions must be met for it to be globally recognized as a reserve currency?

Two key narratives dominate the discourse. The first stems from venture capitalists (VCs), altcoin enthusiasts, and "Bitcoin moderates." Their argument posits that Bitcoin's path to mainstream adoption requires substantial marketing efforts. Although they differ in the extent to which this marketing involves altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, or ordinals, they fundamentally agree that Bitcoin requires promotion, and don't really care exactly what form this takes. According to this group, sufficient promotion will enable the average person to "understand" Bitcoin, paving the way for a sky high price (and maybe alt season!)

However, this narrative is flawed as it fails to cultivate genuine Bitcoin holders. Instead, it promotes a culture of reckless gambling. At best, people dabble, make losses, and hopefully learn a valuable lesson about speculative games. At worst, people become entrenched in gambling habits, fostering a community rife with rent-seekers and scammers. Unfortunately, the majority entering the 'crypto' space find themselves with thinner wallets, often swearing off the entire sector after being scammed or losing significant funds.

This first narrative gains traction primarily because it enhances the perceived importance of its proponents. If adoption depended on active promotion, then VCs, marketers, and "Bitcoin moderates" become the linchpins for Bitcoin's advancement. It's an appealing narrative as it confers them a sense of significance they don't possess. Indeed, the egos on some of these people show just how self-serving their narratives are.

By contrast, the second narrative stipulates that adoption necessitates an understanding of Bitcoin as sound money. Bitcoin adoption is thus seen as a journey demanding patience, persistence, and a deep understanding of its technology and economics. This path typically spans several years and cannot be comprehended through a brief podcast snippet. Long-term Bitcoin holders and staunch supporters often attest to the validity of this narrative.

Interestingly, even those initially involved with altcoins or scammy altcoins find that these ventures did little to aid their understanding of Bitcoin as money. Quite the opposite, these distractions often muddied the waters and made understanding Bitcoin that much harder.

For long-term Bitcoin holders, the path to understanding Bitcoin necessitated considerable intellectual effort, rigorous study, and even financial discomfort. A clear understanding of Bitcoin's status as sound money was born out of hard work, not marketing gimmicks.

In this second narrative, exposure to Bitcoin usually stems from financial hardship. Whether due to inflation, banking issues, or government actions, people turn to Bitcoin out of ideological belief or necessity. Consequently, Bitcoin adoption is less about a marketing blitz and more about disillusionment with the current system. As long as the existing financial infrastructure continues to fail people, we can anticipate Bitcoin's continued growth.

This perspective negates the need for 'professional' Bitcoin marketers or high-profile endorsements. The critical factor isn't the backing of Elon Musk or Snoop Dogg. Instead, it's about individuals recognizing the corrosive impact of inflation on their savings and seeking an alternative. Ordinals don't get people to hold Bitcoin long-term, a real understanding of money does.

Bitcoin adoption isn't a mere marketing exercise; it's a journey of understanding, borne out of necessity and disillusionment with the existing system.
