"As we navigate the complexities of modern life, George Orwell’s seminal work, 1984, continues to resonate with readers worldwide. Published in 1949, 1984 presented a chilling vision of a dystopian future characterized by pervasive surveillance, governmental control, and the erasure of individual freedoms. Fast forward to 2025, and we find ourselves asking: How many years have passed since Orwell’s cautionary tale? How do the themes of 1984 align with our current technological, social, and political landscape?"

We the people will fight it. There are freedom technologies - Nostr, Bitcoin, Gnu/Linux & *BSD, Torrents, The Internet, open source software, Tor and so on ...

The estimated number of atoms in the observable universe, approximately 10^80, can be expressed as a power of two.

To convert this to a power of two, we can use the logarithm base 2:

10^80≈2^266.5

So, the number of atoms in the observable universe is roughly 2^266.5. This means there are about 2^266 atoms, with a small fraction more to account for the decimal.

There are people who still don't understand Bitcoin and fall for shitcoin propaganda and lies.

1. Shitcoin propaganda about "Bitcoin is too slow."

Answer: No Bitcoin is not slow. One can transact Bitcoin faster than any other medium of exchange using #LightningNetwork. Lightning network is Layer 2 of Bitcoin. Bitcoin's layer one is designed to be robust and secure, and to have bullet-proof integrity. On Bitcoin layer 1 people can move billions anywhere in the world, for a couple of bucks fee, without using third parites (peer-to-peer) and do that in minutes which is galactic improvement over Gold. Bitcoin having blocks every 10 minutes means that Bitcoin Nodes like Knots can sync even on a slower Internet connections thus improving decentralization possibilities and robustness. This also keeps the blockchain size well managable by literally eveyone. Bitcoin is robust and anti-fragile by design.

2. Shitcoin propaganda about "Bitcoin is not fungible"

Answer: Only idiots propagate that lie. Bitcoin coins do not have identification number. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. 1 Bitcoin is divisible in 100 Million sats. 1 sat = 1 sat. So Bitcoin is fungible. The idiot shitcioners probably mean that Bitcoins can be traced from one address to the other because the blockchain is public which is the main feature that ensures Bitcoin integrity. But the fact that Bitcoins can be mixed using Bitcoin coinjoins completely destroys the shitcoinrs propaganda and lies. Bitcoin is fungible money.

Here is a definition about fungibility from AI:

Fungibility refers to the property of an asset or good whose individual units are interchangeable and essentially identical in value and function. Fungible assets can be exchanged or substituted on a one-to-one basis without any loss of value or distinction. For example, money is fungible: a $1 bill is equivalent to another $1 bill or to a combination of coins that sums to $1. Other fungible assets include commodities like gold or corn, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, where each unit is identical and holds the same value as another unit of the same kind.

Non-fungibility, by contrast, refers to assets that are unique and cannot be replaced by another identical item. Non-fungible assets have distinctive characteristics that make each item different in value and identity. For example, a specific car, house, piece of artwork, or diamond is non-fungible because it cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis with another item of the same type without affecting value or uniqueness. The distinguishing features and uniqueness of non-fungible assets mean they hold individual value and cannot be substituted directly.

Why so bearish Norway?

We know, we know, step by step.

But you have brains. Join us in making Bitcoin the World Reserve Money and back everything by Bitcoin.

Bitcoin defunds war and Bitcoin is fixing the world. Bitcoin is The Hope for Humanity.

As well as cultural, ethical, moral, social, legal wrongdoings and God knows what other evils they do.

Max Keiser's 5 Levels of #Bitcoin Awareness:

Level 1: “Just found out about Bitcoin. Here’s how you fix it."

Level 2: “I love Bitcoin. Buy my shitcoin."

Level 3: "Bitcoin is primarily a Medium of Exchange."

Level 4: "Bitcoin is primarily a Store of Value."

Level 5: "Hyperbitcoinization."

Most of the stuff he promised he did. He freed Ross. Is that political BS too?

Latest I read about the SBR is that they are looking for budget neutral ways to do it.

Respectfully.

I don't think things are easy there.

If you were on Trumps place what would you do?

There is no money. 37T debt and goes exponential, interest on debt is bigger than the military budget, people are fucked by inflation that is cased by money printing meaning more of that will fuck them more so now they can't afford houses, tomorrow they won't be able to afford food.

Trump is trying to get every penny he could via tarifs and shits exploiting US position of being still the empire of the world because that may not continue for long.

The thing with Powel is all about money, nothing else.

I would really like them to buy the Bitcoin and create the SBR and profit from that but I don't think its straight forward. The system is collapsing. And many of his staff are Bitcoiners. Maybe they can sell some of the gold and buy ... if its still there.

Give it another try. You can reboot your system before that. Hopefully Knots syncs clean and fixes the index. Otherwise data corruption can be file system problem, hard drive problem ... many things.

Not only. Monero fanboys would also like to "fix" Bitcoin using tail emissions 🤡

(there are threads on Nostr about it ... insanely retarded ... lastly they were rooting for a bridge on Bitcoin to get shitcoins bridged into Bitcoin and thus "fix it" ... BIP300/301 drivechains ... )

Thanks for this info. Tomorrows vid will be interesting :)

Exactly. See the drama with Fort Knox. Bitcoin is audited every 10 minutes 🤙

No one can, and no one should trust central banks. Actually Saif is explaining how central banks fucked up before the two world wars in his The Fiat Standard.

I listen to his lectures here:

https://fountain.fm/show/TUXN4KOGC4uzLzxSqJLg

Well but before Bitcoin there wasn't better money than Gold. I think Max Keiser has also leaned towards Gold, as a self store of value and hedge against fiat inflation. I think he has mentioned multiple times that he owned Gold. But then he swiftly became The High Priest of Bitcoin and as far as I know got rid of the Gold.

Just a guess but central banks are major player in the market. So he considered them, had a perspective.

From AI

Mises' Perspective on Central Banks and Capitalism

🏦 Central Banks and Monetary Policy

Mises argued that central banks interfere with the natural functioning of the market by manipulating interest rates and controlling the money supply. He believed that such interventions lead to distortions in the economy, including malinvestment and economic cycles of boom and bust.

📉 Capitalism Defined

For Mises, capitalism is characterized by private property, voluntary exchange, and minimal government intervention. He viewed central banking as a form of government intervention that undermines the principles of a free market. In his view, a true capitalist system would rely on a sound monetary system, ideally based on a commodity like gold, rather than a fiat currency managed by a central authority.

Someone can always abuse the honor system. I will never be the one to undermine a high-trust society with "race-to-the-bottom" behaviour.

And it only becomes hopeless when you have intentional subversion by bad actors.

Bitcoin requires adversarial thinking but somehow you must reconcile that with the fact that no one wants to be in a community with scummy people.

Respecting Core filters was an honor system thing that shouldn't work in theory but in practice has done for basically its entire existence.

And it has taken intentional malice by scammers to undermine that.

The best argument I can make against my position here is the point that honor systems don't scale. Leave-the-cash-in-a-box farm stand works in a village with 500 people. It's not going to work in New York City. True.

But at the same time, Bitcoin is a permanently unfinished and evolving technology. All the decisions in that regard are downstream from its users. And if its users can't resist undermining their own interests with short-termist obliteration of the commons by treating nodes as a disposable but inevitable resource when its the only aspect to Bitcoin making it genuinely decentralized then the future looks extremely bleak.

I don't think the alleged hopelessness of counter-spam measures is coming from people who are prepared to take all the relevant players in this ecosystem into account.

Do spammers want their spam to be stored by the world's most redundant database? Sure.

Do miners want to get paid for facilitating that? Sure - though that's very short sighted of them.

But does my node want to relay fake transactions thinly veiling chunks of non-Bitcoin garbage from spammers to miners? Of course not. And without our nodes you don't have Bitcoin. You have another stupid crypto.

16% of the network is permissionlessly asserting their right to relay what's in the interests of themselves and the network.

Just like how you can argue that me not stealing the blueberries from the farm stand and voluntarily paying for them is completely rational behaviour for someone who doesn't want to chop off the branch on which they sit.

Bitcoin Knots.

Sad. There are haters. There are evil ppl as well. But there is karma too.

That is why Bitcoin must remain free and decentralized meaning NO FUCKING JPEGS or SPAM on the Bitcoin monetary network.

Bitcoin is the hope for fixing the world.

Mises and Hayek did, in fact, defend the legitimacy, and even the benefits, of mild deflation resulting from productivity gains.

Mises argued that declining prices driven by expanding wealth and productivity are signals of rising living standards, not economic dysfunction. He explicitly stated, “when prices are declining in response to the expansion of wealth, this means that individuals’ living standards are rising,” and that such deflation is good for the economy. Hayek likewise favored letting prices fall when output expands, criticizing monetary policy aimed at artificially stabilizing prices. Hayek’s “neutral money criterion” held that prices should fall during real growth, and he opposed using monetary expansion to counteract such benign deflation.

The historical record, and their writings, demonstrate that both thinkers supported, not feared, mild deflation booked to real progress, contrary to what you claim.

Below are some links to prove this. Your intellectual dishonesty is obvious, pushing such disinformation to benefit your bias. On top of that, you are a bitter little person that doesn't deserve any further engagement.
