The latter, grant access to all your data. Can’t believe more people aren’t bringing this us seems like a complete nightmare if the model can aggregate everyone’s communications between each other.

#[1]​ yikes on this formatting.

March 1st, 2019: Jack’s first bitcoin podcast.

SQ Comms team wanted to do Laura Shin or some other larger, mainstream β€˜crypto’ podcast, but I insisted it could only be #[6]​.

Every once in a while I think about the importance of this.

My first friend when I moved to El Zonte, and the ❀️ and πŸ’ͺ behind the bitcoin beach community initiative that led to Nayib Bukele making bitcoin legal tender in πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡», is now on Nostr.

Welcome 🐟 #[0]β€‹πŸŸ

We’ve reached the stage where I know exactly the obscure site I’m trying to find with perfect keywords yet google provides only six results (all from neutered government or university sources) with no page two and no further explanation.

It’s actually evil.

Don’t understand, but the point is the richest country on earth shouldn’t have a downward line.

That’s 2020 too, it continued its marked decline since, with covid and overdoses

But every day this feels increasingly like the inevitable outcome. Decline seems to already be here.

The extent to which we embrace reality and change course, vs obediently doubling down on what's obviously not working, will dictate what comes next. https://twitter.com/milessuter/status/1446848455410733067?s=20

Obviously dissent from the neo(con)-liberal coerced consensus continues to be punished.

But w each 'current thing' the population wakes up from (due to reality intervening) the spell loses power.

That our elites are leading us to ruin; ⏳ is running out https://twitter.com/milessuter/status/1446848478265495558?s=20

I'm increasingly concerned we've done all the wrongs things

- print unlimited money, bail out banks, attack vs embrace bitcoin, weaponize the dollar abroad, force our adversaries to join forces, prolong proxy wars, sow internal division within πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

and that the bill is soon due.

Both can be true:

- Americans have no idea how good we've had it as world reserve currency issuer, unipolar global hegemon.

- Things are F'd bc of our parasitic permanent political class wielding this power for their sole benefit.

But things are unravelling and accelerating 😲

When systems collapse it is gruesome. It must be prevented at all costs.

In the late Soviet era, World Bank estimates indicate ~1.5% of the population was living in poverty (defined as income < $25 per month).

By mid-1993 between 39%-49% of the population now lived in poverty.
