When you look around and all you see is darkness - perhaps you are the light.

They/we will unite I agree, we are seeing it now start to unfold except, as I alluded to in my original post, the various factions in Govt either aren't aligned with Bitcoiners or are pretending to be in line with Bitcoiners to garner their support politically but they will, imo, be on our side until they/we win and at that point they will go off on their own agenda. A good example of this is CBDCs. A similar fracture of a 'united front' against the establishment is Twitter under Musk.

CBDCs: We had Vivek using this as a signif political narrative seemingly in favour of Bitcoiners and freedom lovers alike. But FedNow is already out and as I understand it is very much like a CBDC in effect even though its not coined as such. Trump also got on this band wagon once Vivek was out. Trump will curry favour with anti-CBDC talk, get voted in and then control you and I with FedNow system. They are with us for the revolution but will turn on us when it suits them.

Twitter/Musk: Musk is all 'free speech' in the beginning (Mat Taibi, Twitter files etc) then he hires a very woke manager who continues to censor people and says you can have 'freedom of speech but not necessarily freedom of reach' - ie censorship. See how they garner support then blindside you with a slight variation which effectively does the same thing a pleb would probably want to avoid?

I think there will be a united front of people who align with BTC value (anti war, ant central banking etc) AND the likes of Musk and Trump AGAINST the old guard politicians (think old world banking cartel types like Biden, central bankers etc) except as I have shown Trump and Musk (representative of the new guard) are your friends until they dont need you anymore and then they are out for themselves - narcissistic to a massive degree. It might be best summed up by something like the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Until that enemy is vanquished and we are the enemy.

So, when the united front comes it will win but then it will fracture imo and we will get fucked but in a slightly diff manner than the old guard would have liked.

I have taken this understanding from Whitney Webbs description of factions within the Govt and some other observations made by a friend about the nature of the diff factions. I'm not sure if it makes sense to the reader as its the first time I've expressed it. I only pieced together a few things in the last few days or week or so. Apologies if it in a bit rough in its logic - its sorta complex to get me ol' noggin around!

yeah this is just recreating the existing system...

"Planning, limits, and processes are essential to have down in writing in advance, though. Many people insist "its not needed", a "Gentleman's Agreement" will do. They're the ones who expect to make rules and limits for others whilst obeying none themselves..."

Sound money can be used as reserve in fractional reserve banking and they have more BTC than most. * That means they have more ability to create more fiat (lots of people still accept fiat) than you and that means they have more resources than you in short, medium and long term. That means plebs dead/locked up well before they find themselves under-collateralized again. We'll be able to enjoy our p2p money for a time and outlast many who don't have it but in the end we are out gunned.

* plebs own more BTC collectively than Govt but we aren't organized into one unit like they are so I assume there may not be a way to rally against them.

Sure plebs can still send and receive with no middleman. I'm saying bitcoin as it's owned by govts also via confiscation and companies like Blackrock can use it to rebase their debt and carry on as per.

There is a 'location NIP' int he works I have yet to integrate but its on the list. If we all use that we can share data as well.

One of the future features will allow users to create their own maps of whatever they like so it may fit in with what youre up to but if not the original code for version 1 is open source and written in React Native for Web JS.

Usual diet report:

So I'm dieting about tenth day. Fasting to OMAD and more, keeping strict keto. It was so far so good, but I made several mistakes in changing environment.

Last Wednesday I was going through two day fast and totally outdid myself in a theatre by training and massaging everyone. Then on Thursday we had a play and I was still fasting, which resulted in solid tiredness. I didn't feel it, but my body wasn't regenerating enough and I barely walked home at midnight, so tired.

But who knows, it was really too much for me anyway, maybe not eating was just a partial cause. We do this only twice a year, so it's hard to tell.

I spent Friday barely moving around and on Saturday had usual theatre course. Men, my back muscles were incredibly sore by then. I felt great, but driving a car was whole four days nearly impossible.

On Sunday we drove to our shack hour away, I was better already and kept OMAD as before, but on Monday I got terribly weak. I mean my hands were dropping stuff. I lied down, thinking that's it, I overdid myself to starvation. But no, it was painful awful PMS.💖

I slept through yesterday, watching anime, and switched to nibbling potatoes with ham and bacon, even had a coffee with a lot of milk. That all made me feel so good.

Today I'm still weak, but the major pain from endometriosis is gone (google it, it's actually very common problem amongst women).

I'll start some stretching and core exercises today, since cycle is now acceptable and I'm stiff like a plank😖

That's the problem with menstruation, no app for life change, motivation or fitness takes it in consideration. And yet, it's painful knockout every fourth week.

Women live in a wild month cycle and I should take the diet accordingly.

Other than that, I feel I lost a bit and feel great. Can't weigh myself here and don't plan to. We'll see on Friday.

I did keto for about 3 months a few years back. I definitely felt a lack of energy while working out so tour tiredness from walking makes sense. There is an adjustment period of up to weeks as I recall where your body is adjusting from carbs to fats as fuel source. Guessing that had something to do with it also! How long are you doing it for?

"Govt and power has different factions. Crypto probably represents one faction ousting the other. Bitcoin and the rest. It will be used as a way to rebase the USD but will not become a reserve currency IMO. It may be tokenized with other crypto or used to create fiat on top of further.

If youre interested in always knowing where there may be a potential threat to #BTC this podcast with Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin from BTCMagazine is good to check in with for ways in which BTC could be coopted - not in the technical sense of a 51% attack or anything but more like using it to prop up the USD govt and especially co-opt Lightning with USDT.

I guess the flipside is that BTC is available to everyone - even the US Govt via USDT and treasury support.
