Bitcoin. Politically homeless.

100%. Over the past 48 hours, I've been feeling so antsy in a call of action sort of way. I want to actively go out and do things to help protect free speech. Other than be honest and call out ridiculous beliefs that friends and family spout about gun ownership or freedom of speech, and voting for politicians who support these two important things, I'm unsure what else to do.

Great video, Matt. How does David Sacks fit into the scenario you described at the end of the video?

So true. Been thinking about 6 lot in terms of art and proof of work. I only want art that someone performed proof of work to create. I also have a new found respect for things that took years to create. Proof of work is so important in every aspect of life. The others on the list become apparent when you understand Bitcoin, and it’s sometimes sad. I sort of miss the days of being ignorant and thinking the government was doing the things that were in my best interest. And just buying index funds and being a little normie in the world not knowing how money worked. I would def choose the current path because I prefer knowing the truth and I’m creating generational wealth with Bitcoin. But you can never look at the world the same way ever again.

nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs had dinner with local Bitcoiners, where we discussed the SBR and they weren't bullish on it because they think it won't be passed in Congress due to the public's lack of education on Bitcoin. They think constituents will be upset about selling gold to buy Bitcoin, and that this whole SBR is a lot of narrative noise. I saw your video today with Alex and always appreciate your perspectives. You seem bullish on it and mentioned they're trying to get this passed soon. You really think this has an honest shot of passing and being implemented?

Replying to Avatar Jeff Booth

Even though many of us here have transitioned our time to a paradigm change that unites 8 billion people on this planet, many of our friends and people we love…have not yet.

Their world view (and maybe partly ours too) is then still infected by a system that preys on them. Extracts from them. Keeps them stuck. If that is true, then it is hard to stay above the noise when the people we love, people they love, and so on, are “experiencing” a pain that is very real.

All around us, unbelievable tragedy and chaos with people taking sides, while believing that they’re or their side is justified in the stealing from, harming, or killing of other people for “their” cause. Our politics, our media, our institutions are all similarity captured by it - leading to further division and righteousness, while people become numb to it all - mostly unaware of how it is hurting them deeply. How could it not?

This is the lens of the world that the majority is looking through, reinforcing, and making stronger through everything they see and do.

Just as real to them….as the truth, hope, and abundance that #Bitcoin imposes on the world is for us.

Yes, we “try” to stay above it because we know that the system problem cannot be solved from within it, and our time is more valuable in bending reality to the new system.

But

it is worth a reminder as we go this chaotic transition that so few understand:

When someone we love hurts, we hurt too.

And there is still much hurt.

Much love to you all!

We did a Plebwalk in my city this morning and talked about your thesis on building a new system (Bitcoin, deflation, abundance) outside of the current system (fiat, proof of war, inflation/theft), and how that makes it so difficult for our loved ones stuck in the existing system to see the truth. I love how you lay this out and really enjoyed your book. Would love to see a part 2 that continues on this subject.

nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs you're famous bro - from Gemini:

I've come around on the 2A. I used to be anti-guns but I thought more deeply about it and (to your point in the video) read history books about the American Revolution, and I think the 2A is an important and unique attribute of our constitution. Also, logically with 3D printers and manufacturers selling ghost guns, there will always be guns in circulation and criminals will be able to get them. The 2A at least enables us to protect ourselves from this and from our government (which is why it's so important to be a student of history to understand why we would ever need protection from our government).

I love watching you and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z school folks on Twitter around this UK crackdown. It’s pretty insane and I have been thinking about it all day. What’s challenging is people can’t see the obvious disadvantages to this or tend to justify the crackdown to “protect society/bring back order”. No, we need absolute free speech - full stop. Thankful to have Nostr.
