Just wanna say, I finished watching this and it's such a legendary episode! Thanks.
I demand it has all shitcoins. The government should get totally rekt
There are many contributing factors but the speed of information and the resulting information overload has a large effect on individual psychology. We are afterall a result of mental, emotional, social, and environmental conditioning that shapes the sense of self and world.
Well that is until one can break free of their conditioning by recognition of what doesn't come or go in the midst of coming and going. 😉
We need all types, every point of view, and node in the network contributes to protecting the network and human liberty.
"Crypto" is the new quantitative easing.
Also, will it be a podcast we can listen to? Might be helpful in general for people that are black pilled and feeling hopeless.
I'd really love to see her out that energy into building the world she wants to see. Yes it's good that she informs us admit this stuff but try more to provide actionable things we can do so that people don't get demoralized.
I chose to focus on what is going right and putting my energy into the world i want to see.
Yea I listen to her but every time I do it's like a big demoralizing black pill.
Well the first 30 some thousand ledgers (xrp blocks) are missing. "Lost". Totally not suspicious in any way lol.
Oh also the first week of missing blocks, nothing suspicious there.
They will find that ripple is completely centralized through the unl and the 35 nodes that run the network and reject it. At least if they don't get bribed into pumping garlicmouse's bags.
Found this, gave me goosebumps. I am just an instrument for life to live its will through, this guy said it incredibly well.
"WHEN THE MASTER, Christ Jesus(Aka Buddha, Atman or Krishna) says, “I can of my own self do nothing, the Father within me doeth the works,” when Paul says, “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me”—they are revealing the Fourth Dimension of life in which you do not live “by bread alone,” nor by personal will, effort or even personal wisdom.
There comes a point in your experience when you are not solely you— but in which you are conscious of a Presence within. This point of transition comes when the Presence becomes real within you and takes over your life. From the moment of this transitional experience you do not again take any anxious thought for your life because there is always this IT—this Christ—
or divine Presence, and IT brings to you the harmonies of your daily experience.
In this transitional experience you pass from being merely a human being, thinking your own thoughts, planning your own life, arranging your own affairs to a place in Consciousness where you really and truly “feel” this inner Presence, and you then live as if you had stepped aside a little— say two or three inches to the side of yourself—and are watching your life
being lived for you.
If you, at that moment, are in the business world, you will find business coming to you that you were not personally responsible for—that is, you had made no personal effort to secure. If you are an author or composer, you will find ideas flowing, such ideas as you have never dreamed of, flowing to you from within—and you will know that you are not creating
them, but they are given you by an inner Grace.
If you are in Spiritual Work, the Healing or Teaching Ministry, you will find patients and students being led to you, and all will be spiritually healed and led by the Spirit. Thereby you would understand that “I live—yet not I, but Christ liveth my life. The Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” At this point you become the instrument for the operation and activity of divine Consciousness. When the Master says, “The Father within doeth the works” you will understand that He means that He—of His own powers, His own knowledge, wisdom or strength—does nothing, but rather that the activity of Truth in His Consciousness performs the miracles of healing, comforting and feeding the multitudes.
You, therefore, become the vehicle through which Life lives itself. You become the Messenger carrying the divine Message. You will know that you are now no longer living your life but that the Presence and Power is living it and you are its instrument, mode of expression or avenue of Its activity and of course you will now understand why the Master could say, “I and the Father are one but the Father is greater than I.” This is not duality or separation. This is not going back to the belief of God and man, since we have learned that God manifests Itself as individual you and me, but rather this reveals that I, God, being the infinite universal divine Principle in Life, appear as individual you and me so that truly, “I and the Father are one.” The Inner manifests and expresses Itself as the outer individual."

Song of Realizing the Way
Yung-chia (d. 713)
Haven’t you met someone seasoned in the Way of Ease, a person with nothing to do and nothing to master, who neither rejects thought nor seeks truth?
The real nature of ignorance is buddha-nature itself. The empty, illusory body is the very body of the Dharma. When the Dharma-body is realized, there’s nothing at all. The original nature of all things is innately Buddha.
Elements of the self come and go like clouds, without purpose. Greed, hate, and delusion appear and disappear like ocean foam.
When you reach the heart of reality, you find neither self nor other, and even the worst kind of karma dissolves at once. The instant you awaken to the Ch’an of the Tathagata, all practices and means of liberation are perfected at once.
In life’s dream, passing from heaven to hell, each realm seems real. But with awakening, the whole cosmos is completely empty.
Dust builds up on a mind-mirror not cleaned. With one decisive stroke now, lay the glass bare! Who is it that has no thought? Who is it that’s unborn? It’s as if really not born, yet not unborn either.
Going straight to the root is the hallmark of the Buddha; picking up leaves and collecting branches is no use at all. Most people don’t know the pearl that answers all wishes, the great pearl found in the treasurehouse of the Tathagata.
Don’t seek the true and don’t reject the false; realize the emptiness and formlessness of both. The mind-mirror shines brilliantly, without obstruction, its light reaching worlds as countless as sands of the Ganges.
I reveal the bliss-bestowing pearl to you now, and all who take this to heart will come to accord: When you see clearly, there’s nothing at all; there are no people, there are no Buddhas.
The myriad worlds are like so much foam on the sea, old worthies and great sages merely flashes of lightning.
Yung-chia (d. 713)
excerpted from: The Roaring Stream; A New Zen Reader edited by Nelson Foster and Jack Shoemaker.
“Yung-chia Hsuan-chueh is known in the annals of Ch’an as the Master Who Spent One Night with the Ancestor. The Ancestor in question is Hui-neng. The famous Song of Realizing the Way alludes to this legendary meeting of minds.
Though the author of the poem refers to himself as a mountain monk and sings the praises of hermit life, the Yung-chia of record was hardly a reclusive or obscure figure. He attracted enough notice during his lifetime to draw numerous disciples, and after his death, the imperial court honored him with the title Master of Formlessness.
Along with traces of Taoism, the Song of Realizing the Way contains numerous references to the teachings, metaphors, and mythology of Indian Buddhism. All the same, it is unmistakably a Ch’an poem, laying out many of the school’s central themes, including the futility of conceptual study as a means to true understanding, the necessity of realization, its suddenness and availability to all, and the nature and importance of emptiness and not-knowing.”

The journal excerpt is from the longer original poem to convey the flavor and depth of the writing. Through writing such as this we come to love the way of the sages. Through our pure intent and commitment we follow the way of the sages.

Assuming John nash is satoshi, in his writings about inflation in ideal money, he talked about having a "completely steady constant rate of inflation." I think just to bootstrap the network but it's not clear in his words. It is clear in bitcoin though since he chose to cap supply at 21 million. He was concerned about it not circulating but also recognized the need for good money to be desirable to hoard. Money In the process of monetization (if you game it out) first is a store of value because it fits the 7 properties of good money.
I want to hold this thing because it had properties of money and increasing my bargaining power in the future. I am going to hoard it until people demand to be paid in this ideal money for their goods/ services. The incentive at the beginning for me as someone with information asymmetry is to collect as much as possible and not let it go. It becomes a medium of exchange when people demand that I give up some of my superior money for their goods and services if I really want what they have.
There are steps in the monetization process and while the lines can be blurred like for example someone with information asymmetry has fully adopted bitcoin as unit of account, store of value, even if not using it as medium of exchange yet.
The government takes almost HALF of what you earn through various taxes.
The government DEVALUES the money you manage to save by printing more out of thin air (inflation).
AND THEY STILL SOMEHOW DONT HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CITIZENS.
THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING PISSED OFF.

It's incredibly wrong, I think it shows that their priorities are not the people but looting the people and distracting them just enough so they don't realize they are being robbed.
All things are your own mind.
Seeing objects as external is a mistaken concept;
Like a dream, they are empty of concreteness.
This mind, as well, is a mere movement of attention That has no self-nature, being merely
a gust of wind.
Empty of identity, like space.
All things, like space, are equal.
When speaking of ‘Mahamudra’
It is not an entity that can be shown.
There the mind’s suchness Is itself the
state of Mahamudra.
It is neither something to be corrected
nor transformed, But when anyone sees and realizes its nature All that appears and exists
is Mahamudra, The great all-encompassing Dharmakaya.
Naturally and without contriving, allowed
simply to be,This unimagined Dharmakaya,
Letting it be without seeking is the
meditation training.
But to meditate while seeking is deluded mind.
Just as with space and a magical display,
While neither cultivating nor not cultivating
How can you be separate and not separate!?!
This is a yogi’s understanding.
All good deeds and harmful actions
Dissolve by simply knowing this nature.
The emotions are the great wisdom.
Like a jungle fire, they are the yogi’s helpers.
How can there be staying or going?
What meditation is there by fleeing to a hermitage?
Without understanding this, all possible means
Never bring more than temporary liberation.
When understanding this nature, what is there
to bind you?
While being undistracted from its continuity,
There is neither a composed nor an uncomposed state to be cultivated or corrected with a remedy.
It is not made out of anything
Experience self-liberated is dharmadhatu.
Thinking self-liberated is great wisdom,
Non-dual equality is dharmakaya.
Like the continuous flow of a great river,
Whatever you do is meaningful,
This is the eternal awakened state,
The great bliss, leaving no place for samasara.
All things are empty of their own identities.
This concept fixed on emptiness has dissolved
in itself.
Free of concept, holding nothing in mind,
Is in itself the path of the Buddhas.
For the most fortunate ones, I have made these concise words of heartfelt advice.
Through this, may every single sentient being
Be established in Mahamudra.
