So question, because now I’m terrified. If you click “delete account” is it automatic at that point or is there a window that pops up and asks “Are you sure you want to delete”?
Now everyone I see the Delete Account button I’m worried I’ll accidentally click it! 🤣🤣🤣
It would have been cheaper for the USG to have bought all of Iraq’s oil than it was for what they spent on gas alone during the Iraq war
The war wasn’t about oil or keeping it cheap. If anything, it was to make it expensive for the oil companies and to keep OPEC happy and in line
WTF does the US military care about prices?!
Oh good! I thought it was something bad that I missed. That’s awesome!
I remember when I first heard about Bitcoin. I was so naive. I remember thinking “Well if someone is willing to take dollars for Bitcoin then why wouldn’t I just keep dollars”
Then I discovered Austrian Economics and it clicked
Wait, what happened with WoS?! I feel like I’ve missed something
If they had they’re way, they would send the troops there. We have stopped that. When MSNBC has to do a hit piece on the #RageAgaisntTheWarMachine protest, we’re winning
Support is plumemetting. Bitch McConnel has to say how we need to convince the American ppl that the war is worth supporting. He’s suppose to represent the ppl, so he showed his hand
Winning doesn’t always mean complete destruction. Look at the Viet Cong, Mujahideen, Sade Brigade, etc
High time preference wants to win a battle today and risk losing the war
Low time preference understands that you can lose every battle and win the war
No you definitely don’t sound dumb. The issue is that we need energy now, and fossil fuels are going to continue being used until we have the infrastructure for alternative sources. In short, our best alternative solution to fossil fuels is nuclear energy, which unfortunately has been politicized because people think it’s “dangerous” (it’s not). Wind/solar/hydro aren’t reliable enough to make up our base load which is why we still rely heavily on fossil fuels. Switching to nuclear could resolve all of these issues were discussing. I think if you continue going down the bitcoin rabbit hole you will find you naturally fall down the energy rabbit hole because of bitcoins relationship with energy. That’s how i gained an understanding of energy and the grid.
I think #[5] does a great job on his podcast having guests on that are knowledgeable in energy. This is one of my favorite episodes: https://fountain.fm/episode/13181642640
And here’s another on nuclear: https://fountain.fm/episode/13244552894
And here’s a couple on how bitcoin helps fix this:
My only problem with #[4] on this topic is that he doesn’t seem to understand how a nuclear plant could be insured without a government
“It’s too expensive to insure”. Yes, under the current system that has a government “backing” it with no cash in reserves to insure it. They’ll just print it.
Under a Bitcoin Standard, insurance companies would set the regulations to make a nuclear plant safe and insurable. I don’t know why he doesn’t seem to be able to make that leap.
They will try
But we will defeat them first
All because of the fiat standard
Oil companies could never have gotten away with this if not for the printing press and political connections
I wouldn’t bend over and pick up $0.37 off the ground but I would go out of my way to grab 1626 sats
Because I know one is on the ground because it’s turning to trash and the other will 10x at some point in time
That’s a great point. And we will probably ALWAYS use oil/fossil fuels to some degree. I’m sure there will be instances when it makes more sense to use them, but it will be a tiny fraction of our overall energy use
Is this an older episode? I listened to the two he put out at the beginning of this year but I don’t think I’ve listen to this one.
Would be great to hear a debate about it

Can confirm, these were great episodes
And bringing up the “who’s right wrong”… I was so focused on the topic of oil/Alaska that I didn’t even mention nuclear. So I was wrong there
These were GREAT episodes and nuclear is the future!
Bitcoin fixes this by creating low time preference
Everything is about trade offs. Technologically, we cannot eliminate oil/fossil fuels without having devastating results for humanity, at least until technology improves
Anytime one group wants to force another group to do something, their will be pushback
1. If it’s a good idea, force is not required
2. Those with power will manipulate the agenda to get what they want (look at ESG scores that claim to want to help the environment but then defense companies get higher ratings)
We should all keep talking and debating and convincing people of what is right and stop trying to use force
Yeah but Big Tech let’s Big Tech get away with breaking ToS when they deem it in their best interests
Yeah, they’re being devastated because instead of -40 it’s -38 in the winter and instead of 78 it’s 80 in the summer
DEVASTATED!!
