I doubt there would be any left by that time.

It seems the people where I live are especially addicted to fiat. You can hardly find anyone open to #bitcoin or interested in it.

Bitcoin is 15 years old (which is what is considered old in technology land), and yet people here are mostly indifferent to it.

Bitcoin has risen in price from $0.01 all the way to ~ $70,000 and people here still want to learn how to invest in the stock market 🙄

In terms of bitcoin's superior technological features, they are even less interested.

Proof of work means you have to work.

Whether they know it or not, citizens of the western world in Europe and America are afraid of this statement.

I think what the western world would rather have is a claim on everyone else's work, like we have had for the last 80 years.

I don't think anyone in the west including myself has a clue what it would mean for the productive countries of the world to refuse our claim on their goods.

Bitcoin will flow to the real producers, as we trade it for real goods we want. That means if America had all the bitcoin today, but stays a net consumer, then it all flows to the net producers that we are buying goods from like China and Mexico.

Whoever owns the means of production will eventually own all the money. (Cantillion effect)

What the west needs to work on is to increase our means of production, decrease our spending, create local circular economies and accept bitcoin from all over the world for these goods.

Any dollar claims on goods around the world will fail sooner than you think and bitcoin or another more dystopian global currency will be all that's accepted.

Im seeing way more women at a Bitcoin conferences than 2.5 years ago when I first attended one.

Another thing we have to accept is the world doesn't give a shit about personal responsibility, privacy and censorship.

People value safety over freedom, they aren't build like us. This is hard to see inside our echo chamber.

People are very governable.

Billions will not use Tor or download apk files and they sure as shit won't be buying raspberry pis and learn Linux to make payments.

They want to just download from app stores, click a few buttons and stuff just works.

They want to have a customer support line to contact if things go wrong.

They don't want to risk getting in trouble with governments.

And so we need to keep this in mind as we build.

Everyone: holiday break

Me, who ignores most holidays: where is everyone?

Behold the generation

From hyperbitcoinization;

Born from zoomers

Here are the Bitty Boomers.

Winter in Norway.

Guess the fruit

Perplexity.ai has pretty much completed replaced my use of Google search.

I honestly wouldn’t put it past the CIA and the deep state to clone OG Joe Biden or find a guy that looks somewhat similar.

I have a copy of a memoir from a familiy member talking about rural life just 100 or so years ago & there wasn't anything easy sounding about it. People who romanticize the past are mostly retarded. What's interesting IMO is the origins of words & phrases that are still in use today even though the reasons for their origins have kinda been lost.

Salary - payment in salt

Shelling out - handing over lots of wampum due to inflation in supply

Ragging on someone (picking on them) - a reference to a woman being "on the rag" prior to the invention of tampons

Not sure about all of these, but it's interesting.

I’ve been very quiet the past few days here.

I’m having a LOT of neck pain which is affecting everything from my productivity, my mood and, apparently, my eagerness to post stuff here.

My bullshitness remains unfazed.
