Normies dont know or care about Bitcoin. It is still a weird news item that pops up rarely that they dismiss like I dismiss rap feuds - dont care, doesnt affect me. We are still at least 1 hyperinflation away from true public consciousness in the US.

The real rate is probably 10-20% for most people, and the official rate is a carefully crafted lie. There is no path but printing because of the national debt, and the feds will bail out the bankrupt blue states like Illinois, so the real debt is in the hundreds of trillions already from the unfunded mandates. If it isnt tools, ammo, or Bitcoin, I dont want it.

Drivechains

Alright people, we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king. To give up the king, in my humble opinion, is to mess up the base layer. This mistake would disrupt the delicate incentive structure that ensures sound money. That sound money pegs the extremely fragile credit markets and out-of-control G7 policymakers that are creating clown world with their CB fiat policies.

We don’t need the sound, pegged, money to move fast, we don’t need the money to do smart swoopty things, we just need it to be pegged, immutable, and digitally sailable to actually stop the madness of clown world.

By introducing a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer and potentially screwing with the incentives all so we can connect to a bunch of centralized shitcoin projects is like playing offense with the king when you’re down 7 pieces and the other player still has their entire back row at their disposal.

A. Why the rush!?

B. Why not just go use Monero if you need that level of anominity in your transactions. Why do you have to have it in a wrapper via drivechains?

C. Why risk the king without deep understanding and testing of the technical risk and potential change to incentives?

The beauty of Bitcoin is you can build it and softfork it, and we’ll let the community vote with their nodes. BUT, I for one, have no use for drivechains (that doesn’t mean everyone is like me). And as a result, I will not be updating my node and running any attempted “secret” softfork updates by the miners.

Keep Bitcoin Bitcoin!

100k by 2026, 1M by 2030 are my conservative numbers. The US Federal debt is close to escape velocity and the normies are asleep. MANDIBLES!

Privacy remains the greatest problem with Bitcoin, as Lightning has solved small transactions and speed problems. If Monero can be used to shield feom chain analysis, it is valuable and should be eelcomed.

It's a weird kind of tension, like right before a clown farts.

Life is a test and no one gets a perfect score. Just do your best everyday and accept and be thankful for your life. I also struggle similar to you, so this is my newest mantra to cope.

Including real estate, 401ks, anything that can be seized or taxed will be seized and/or taxed.

I dont think it is possible to understand Bitcoin and not own it.

I think post nuclear war life will be both a great strength and cardio workout for the survivirs. Carry buckets of water! Chop firewood! Run from bandits! It will a true full body program.
