Our so-called leaders speak
With words, they try to jail ya
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
Five inventions of bitcoin, EACH of which is so profoundly revolutionary that its impact and value cannot be calculated. Never before existed:
-Absolute scarcity: The first and only substance on earth of finite quantity
-Real digital limits: Digital data bound by the laws of physics (via ‘proof of work’), creates singular digital objects that cannot be copied / reproduced
-Pure shared custody: The only substance/asset that can be jointly-owned by multiple parties without any supervising authority
-Machine money: The only asset that can be independently possessed and spent by machines/AI
-Uneditable history: Immutable, unfalsifiable, time-stamped historical record of any data type (not just financial transactions!)
This list expands as I ponder it further. Don’t hesitate to add!
What if our monetary future does not continue down the path of centralization and debasement but, rather, follows a new path of decentralization and growing value? Today’s dollar hegemony was engineered by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Tomorrow, the currency of America could be based on the twin ideals of the Founding Fathers and Satoshi Nakamoto.
Unlike America, which lost its first battle over centralization just a few years after its founding, Bitcoin won its first battle over centralization during the Blocksize War, where user control and personal freedom defeated business interests and the concentration of power.
On July 4, 1821, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams warned of an America that would become a global imperium “in search of monsters to destroy.” An America where the “fundamental maxims of her policy” have “insensibly changed from liberty to force,” where we have become “the dictatress of the world.”
Perhaps Bitcoin can help Americans reflect on our history and remember that our true glory, in Adams’s words, is “not dominion, but liberty,” and that our true march is “of the mind” and not the sword.

“It’s just an open source decentralized spreadsheet.
Any of our existing systems that are weak enough to be threatened by an open source decentralized spreadsheet deserve to be.”

It is off. My goal is to see Chinese and Arabic, but be able to read them (English). Confused how to achieve this.
Is there a reason I still see Arabic and Chinese with the following setting on? 
Ugh heartbreaking moment. I had similar happen, case fell out of my hand, popped open on impact, glasses skidded across pavement. Several cars barely missed them. Still use them, despite some scratches from the event
Touch sand. #zapathon 
Wait wtf are we #zapathon on Sunday??
