Every technological improvement kills jobs. That’s the nature of progress—eliminating tedium.

Focusing on job creation mistakes the package for its contents. We don’t want more jobs. We demand more value.

1908 Olympics gold medal (100% gold) vs 2024 Olympics gold medal (1% gold)

$5,000 worth of gold in the 1908 vs $1,500 worth of metal (mostly silver) in the 2024. If the 2024 medal was solid gold it would contain $70,000 worth of gold as it is much larger than 1908.

The reversal of the carry trade could turn into a margin call on the financial system with EVERY asset (most illiquid) tied to that very same financialization and leverage.

That leverage unwind will (if left unchecked) take down major players.

Ie - Massive manipulation of money incoming (liquidity) or deflationary spiral. Likely both (depending on timing and your country)

Good thing there is a protocol stack bounded by energy that is open, decentralized and secure.

I think about this quote all the time.

“After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I've known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine that is, they made no real money out of it. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make big money. It is literally true that millions come easier to a trader after he knows how to trade than hundreds did in the days of his ignorance.”

- Jesse Livermore, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

I have a feeling I'll be ghosting a lot of friends in the coming years.

Spending time around bitcoiners makes me question old friendships. I have friends I've known for 20+ years who haven't offered any real value in a long time.

That sounds awful to say, but they are so caught up in their dead end jobs and other bullshit. No care for anything else. They think the MSM and government are the best sources of truth. No interest in growing, or in self reflection.

Any attempt at deep, meaningful conversation basically turn into the "That's crazy. Catch the game last night?" meme. It's frustrating.

I'm still processing my feelings on this. I haven't had a close "crew" of buddies since high school. Even that was superficial. I've always been that guy people hang out with, but never a part of the "inner circle" or whatever.

I'm not saying this to garner empathy. I'm the complete opposite of depressed, and I don't stay up at night wishing I was one of the cool kids. I like having a close family, a wife that's my best friend, and a couple others I can talk to about anything and everything in a meaningful way.

I'm just wondering if it's time to drop some baggage.

Nostr is a great place for long-ish form writing. I love privacy, but I also love sharing the human experience. I spent the first 30 years of life keeping everything bottled up inside.

Never going back to that.

Anyone know a super based immigration lawyer in the US or Canada? I have questions.

EMOTION IS A LIABILITY.

OBSERVE AND ADAPT.

OUR FAMILIES DEPEND ON IT.
