I don’t think people who hate governments are retarded.
I just think people who hate governments without having ever lived somewhere not run by a government are retarded.
South Sudan is currently run by separatists right?
Not as easily compromised as a border patrolled by volunteers
One of my most popular posts here was when I simply reminded people that our politicians are retarded.
This was when Trump was surging in the polls last year. I talked about why both him and Biden were retarded, not just Biden. This was at a time when many people needed hope that one side might be smart, that maybe Trump wasn’t retarded as his literally senile competitor was. As if they forgot the 2027-2021 run.
Now, here in December 2025, with a repeated failure to release the full Epstein files, and he himself implicated in many of them, and MAGA turning against him, are you surprised?
Everyone knew he was a bad person. People just argued for why a bad person was needed, or why his bad values wouldn’t interfere with his policies.
But yeah, bad people rule things badly.
Nothing stops this train.

So with the currency collapsing, the politicians corrupt, the Fed unable to control inflation, you’ll be leaving the USA for good asap right? Or will you actually be using all the benefits of living there (property rights, book distribution platforms, centralised exchanges, police…) and just pretending you want to exit the system so you can keep selling anger justification to actually unhappy people?
Eh. Why do you need to justify existence? That’s a human-created concept
How? De pegging usd from gold resulted in the longest pp boom for average Americans in history and it is still the reserve currency 50 years later
My main point is that you’re a moron that has to continually tell everyone that usd collapse would be good for americans, that american institutions hate their people, inflation is 8% despite every source saying that isn’t possible or his entire worldview collapses. And you have to support charlatans like Lyn who give you convincing alternatives while cashing in on your hope (in fiat)
It’s a survey of publicly available prices. If you don’t wanna believe it that’s fine but not based on evidence, just conspiracy theory. You’re saying that the fed is somehow the enemy of the people since it can’t control inflation, so people should buy an asset that has fallen 30% in a few months… to avoid losing purchasing power that has lost less than 1% in that time due in a large part to powell keeping rates above cpi….
And also lets not forget that in September your ‘macroeconomist’ said bitcoin would be flat at 120k
And if you can’t keep up with 2% yearly inflation maybe don’t buy an asset that can fall 30% in a few months
That’s not what the votes show. Powell has been the most hawkish president since Volker
It would be… ? Not sure how that excuses attacking the guy still showing up at 70 cautioning about lowering rates while the president calls him a loser, despite how much that boosts your book sales
Not american, but at what point does your celebration of the usd failing become unamerican?
What a sellout. How can you write a book about how bitcoin fixes the financial system, not your keys not your coins, blah blah, and then endorse paper bitcoin products a year later.
Even smaug the dragon couldn’t self custody
But of course taxation is theft…
Comparing fractional reserve banking to rape is only something you’d read on Nostr. That’s more the reason why people know nobody will subscribe…
In Australia we get a fine if we don’t vote for them:)
Nah. Jack may have colabed with the feds when he felt like he had no other option. Very different from building something from scratch to lure people in and then fuck them.
This person looks dishonest
I’ll bite.
X- Quick to exchange: 10 minutes for an average settlement, 1 hour if you want to wait 10 the recommended 6 confirmations. Vs Visa which is instant.
X- Easy to verify: you can see a public key has paid you, so then you have to check that the person who has paid you is that public key. Not really easy.
X- Easy and quick to liquidate on any day at any time: let’s say someone hands you some bitcoin. Go liquidate it, or come back in 3 days when Coinbase has denied your KYC application.
X- Can’t be damaged. Perfectly portable: well it can’t be destroyed but it can easily be lost, as the guy wanting to buy an entire rubbish site can attest to. You can move it if you can remember 12 words, just don’t forget one. Carrying it on a USB, well, good luck if your in/outbound customs wants to know what’s on your USB.
Your last point about trust and custody is kinda just repetition so I’ll leave it.
Maybe nothing else would want to be in this ballpark.
At a certain point bitcoin becomes US currency (with zero yield…)
bank account to nostr wallet to ecash to self custody lightning and back to bank account using 5 apps in1:45.
we’ve come a long way.

Makes you wonder why if Satoshi’s peer to peer electronic cash system was so great why we have to do all this…
Nice. Did you buy pre pressurised lines or pressurise them yourself?
So in another 20 years it might fall another 5%..
