I love humans and decentralization. This is why I love Bitcoin and thats why I'm here

The Fed's plan on solving the problems they created....

I know rocket scientists who can't grasp inflation. They understand how to break the sound barrier but dont seem to grasp fiat debasement

My bet is energy and whoever the state manufactured enemy is.

The real cost of manipulated money is centralization and control.

Pretending to be,

“for” free speech,

"for" individual rights,

"for" freedom,

While concurrently advocating for

and benefiting from additional manipulation is hypocritical.

Do you agree?

Fiat currency promotes the erosion of your wealth through.

Fear

Debt

Taxes

CBDCs

Cryptos

Coercion

Gambling

Wokeness

Mediocrity

The "State"

Collectivism

Centralization

Consumerism

Central Banking

Crony Capitalism

What else?

"BREAKING‼️ Pakistan set to ban #Bitcoin    and crypto services citing "money laundering and terrorism financing".

Cryptocurrency will “never be legalised in Pakistan" - Finance Minister"- Bitcoin Archive

No... This is not sacrcasm

REMEMEBER THESE CRYPO STORIES?

“GOVERNANCE”, “DEFI”, “3/3”, “NFT’s”, “PLAY TO EARN",

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

WELL I'LL TELL YOU.

The music’s stopped, most teams sold their tokens

Or rebranded. They made their money,

Gone silent or just disappeared,

Influencers have amnesia,

Crypto scam cycle end,

GAME OVER RIGHT?

WRONG.

Wait until the next #Bitcoin    halving

When they all crawl out from

underneath their rocks

All non #Bitcoin    crypto eventually goes to 0.

Only #Bitcoin    and its layer 2’s will last.

If you want to know why, read this.....

Doesn't seem to be true, in fact while many of the major companies claimed you couldn't run it without a super computer, after only a couple of weeks after META's weights leaked, the open source community had Llama running on basic consumer hardware. Even got it running (very slowly) on a raspberry pi.

In addition it seems to becoming apparent that just cramming in waaayyy more params isn't a good way to "learn," instead curated, micro step learnings from a huge open source community that get recombined and grow naturally is far faster and can produce equivalent or even better results with just a few Billion params on cheap hardware than the big guys can do with 100s of B of params and a super computer.

I think we are mistakingly thinking of this new tech like previous giant, centralized platforms, but it's beginning to look very much like the positive feedback of network effects may not apply here. Trying to centralized and lock down your weights may be a death sentence in the not-too-distant future.

I'm specifically starting a podcast because I don't think we have the right perspective on this, and I believe our attempts to control & centralize AI will actually produce the *perfectly opposite* outcome as we are hoping for, as basically all rushed, arrogant (no disrespect, but the idea that we are going to "control" this is our inner statist speaking) decisions and knee jerk reactions tend to be. I don't think the above course of action is being proposed out of knowledge, but because we are afraid. Decisions like that historically tend to produce poor results.

TL;DR - I think AI is too powerful and important to let government "control" it or "pause" what is happening. I think that will spell disaster... plus they have virtually zero chance of succeeding anyway. IMHO

I love your attitude and perspective towards the state, institutions and government.

The institution is a psychopath.

Never trust, always always always verify, and if you can't, assume a deceptive, manipulative and/or coercive culture with malicious intent.

Of the 775 Fiat currencies created throughout all human history;

-20% failed through hyperinflation,

-21% were destroyed by war,

-12% destroyed by independence,

-24% were monetarily reformed,

AND

The 23% that are still in circulation are approaching collapse.

The world we need won't be built by those who are loyal to the world we have.

For 1000s of years most humans have repeatedly demonstrated that its literally impossible to see what has never been.

But even if you haven't seen it yet, you'll begin to realize that #bitcoin is the solution to 1000s of years of centralized controlled monetary debasement and demolition.

IF TAXES ARE NOT EXTORTION AND INFLATION IS NOT THEFT,

WHY DO TAXES INCREASE FOREVER WHILE FIAT MONEY DEBASES FORVER?

Im moving out of Hamsterwheels City and into Bitcoin Metro.

Stacking sats day by day.

If you're too busy to read your first book about #bitcoin than you need to read your first 2 books about #bitcoin

Time to get off the fiat hamster wheel.

Canadian Nuclear power plants produce excess power daily which Canadians then PAY the USA to use.

This wastful insane behavior can easily be supplanted with #Bitcoin mining.

Dear Government and Mainstream Finace;

Coercion wont work for you. Get over yourselves.

Such moves do not ban bitcoin, they only make your currency and banking system less liquid, and their users more aware of the fact that your currency is a loyalty points scheme and not money.

The fiat currency system sets different rules for everyone.

If you're too big to fail, you get bailed out because it would have an impact on too many people. If you're a small player, you don't get bailed out because your failure doesn't impact the system.

I think everyone should use the same rules to operate. If you take too much risk, nobody should be able to bail you out.

A Bitcoin standard would ensure that you manage risk properly, whether you have the influence of a government or an individual.

If you don't, YOU should face the losses from your decisions, not everyone else.
