the worse!

Today marks 11 years since the iconic "HODL" post on BitcoinTalk.

Email from extended family-

Smart guy but too smart by half.

Still early

Many people are 2Smart for bitcoin.

That sub is just comedy cold. Part of me wants to believe they are mostly Bitcoiners just shitposting and trolling the haters 😂

I'm not worried about my soul, I'm worried about economic collapse.

So Jesus can handle the sovereign debt crisis?

Why should we consider Jesus if no one can save us?

DEEP DOWN I DON'T THINK ANYONE WANTS SOMEONE ELSE TO SAVE THEM.

I THINK WE ALL WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE OURSELVES.

Nachdem ich mich nun etwas mit verschiedenen Erkenntnissen der Sozialforschung und Sozialpsychologie im Zusammenhang mit Propaganda beschäftigt habe, ist mir eines völlig klar:

Die nächste Evolutionsstufe der Künstlichen Intelligenz wird auf der Klaviatur unseres Geistes in totaler Leichtigkeit spielen können. Das Wissen darum wie der durchschnittliche Mensch tickt ist da, die Manipulationsmethoden wurden entwickelt. Der Code unseres Unterbewusstseins liegt offen.

Was jetzt noch durch Spin-Doktoren, Medienhäuser und einfachere Machine Learning Methoden unserer "Sozialen" Netzwerke zum Zwecke der Manipulation erledigt wird, wird uns in Zukunft automatisiert, personalisiert und mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit verabreicht werden.

Bleib wach, pleb.

Since discovering bitcoin I am a completely different person. I know that I will never again be the same. And in a way, that’s good but it is also bad. I will always be different from 99% of people I interact with on a daily basis.

In my daily life I can kind of avoid politics. But recently I disagreed with someone I care about. We argued about politics. I understand how purposefully divisive politics are, and she does not. I remain an open mind because I understand how people’s viewpoints can differ based on what they were exposed to. Not everyone feels the same though.

It’s almost impossible to describe my world view to someone who does not see what I’ve seen. I just feel lonely knowing that the people around me just don’t get it. In a way my life has become harder. Living in a big city, most people are strongly liberal.

I love nostr for this reason, a little escape from the world’s programming into our community. But it doesn’t compare to meat space.

I’ll be alright. Just feelin a lil sad and lonely. I’d rather be open and honest in my daily life than not. Even if it brings me problems, I’d rather live a life of truth. This pain is a small price to pay for the advantages that bitcoin brings and the massive benefit it has had on my life.

Y’all can probably relate. 🙏

I think so. That first burst over $100K was magic.

$1M could be the same for sure.

If you learn nothing, except Christ, you learn everything.
