So who’s betting against tax rises in the coming months!! Everything is starting to look like a complete shit show. I just hope and pray that more realize it’s all broken and see bitcoin as a viable way out. Still so frustrating that friends and fam just don’t want to talk about it. Bitcoin forces you to become so patient in more ways than one.

Back when I ran a butchery and didn’t know about bitcoin. Here i was stacking sausages but I should have been stacking sats! Oh well. At least I am playing catch up now 😂🫡

Oh please, if Harris would have won you’d be saying the same thing. Why not accept that wildfires have been happening in California for YEARS? Because they have.

Logic isn’t strong in some.

Who shot this video?? Did they make it??!

I want to talk about something that some people may find offensive, and that I can’t talk about on Twitter to not get shadow banned as I have to rely on reach for my work.

The first time I attended Chaos Computer Congress was over 15 years ago. It had the best parties in town, and we would sneak in for the nightlife.

As I rekindled my interest in politics, computers and the internet, I became more aligned with the CCC’s mission: hacking the planet to hold power to account.

While I was already disappointed with some of the CCC’s policies – particularly on things like COVID and Bitcoin – this year was the first time that I seriously lost hope for and trust in the CCC as an institution – starting with its opening speech.

The CCC’s opening speech sets the theme for the event. This year, it was dedicated to the global rise of fascism. Speakers talked about Germany’s protests against the far-right AFD, about Donald Trump, LGBTQ and abortions, and pro-democracy protests in countries like Georgia.

But not a single word was lost to the genocide in Palestine.

Checking the CCC’s schedule, I merely found a single talk on Palestine, which explicitly made clear that it did not take a stance on whether Israel was right or wrong in its operations.

There were still a lot of great talks at the congress, and many assemblies showed their solidarity, but this complete lack of mention is what really stood out for me.

To understand what a hackers congress has to do with genocide, we need to take an uncomfortable look at Nazi Germany.

What enabled the Holocaust 80 years ago was not just a bunch of bloodthirsty eugenicist maniacs high on ungodly amounts of speed and their fascist ideologies. It was the streamlining of exploitation and murder to never before seen efficiency, with the help of new, more efficient technologies.

It is these same advancements in technology that are fueling the genocide in Palestine today. It’s surveillance on an unprecedented scale, evermore invasive spyware, AI enabled targeting and automated drone warfare.

You can think of Palestine what you want, but this technology is being exported from Palestine to the rest of the world today.

It’s facial recognition systems and license plate scanners that Israel uses to enforce apartheid that you’ll soon see scanning your biometrics for your next flight on holidays, or your car on your next trip to work.

It’s spyware companies that test their products to soon sell them to governments around the world targeting activists, journalists and opposition.

It’s psychological warfare utilizing dating sites like Grindr to social engineer Palestinians into spying on their peers and extort their sexual preferences.

Just last month, the a16z portfolio company Skydio, which is a major Israeli military contractor, was caught providing its surveillance drones to Yale University to monitor and track student protestors.

Some of you may find this topic uncomfortable as it may not align with your political views.

But the reality remains that the genocide in Palestine is a testing ground for never before seen surveillance tech that will soon be used on you. And the world’s most renowned hackers are silent.

If you took out a $25,000 unsecured loan 5 years ago, at 12%, you could have purchased roughly 3 bitcoin.

That monthly payment would be $556.11. Over the course of 5 years you would pay $33,366.60 in loan payments.

Buying $556.11 of bitcoin once a month during that same time period would have amounted to 1.38 bitcoin.

The loan, which gave you $25,000 in capital, has you up with more than double the bitcoin if you didn’t borrow.

Using 25% less capital, buying bitcoin in a lump sum significantly out performed a DCA strategy.

Wearing my coffee right now 🤣

It's official, sold my house. 🧡

My life has been improved by giving up booze. I don't regret the years I was drinking, and I don't pass judgement on others that still drink, but I can't see myself going back. You poison yourself and gain weight and possibly drink too much and risk doing something stupid. You put yourself in a vulnerable state when something may happen (earthquake, storm, house break in) which may require 100% from you to defend your family. You pay extra tax to the administrative state. You fund the woke agenda and their pro tranny psy ops. So I think this is a bad take Marty and that any consumption of alcohol should be moderate and certainly not bragged about as if it was some virtue to obliterate consciousness by binge drinking the stuff.

It's actually insane that Elon Musk has turned his spergy eye and honed in on Jess Phillips; someone who by all rights would not make it to assistant supervisor of a Matalan. Now she has millions of twitter users' eyes on her every word. Almost feel sorry for her.

ALL CAPS NO CHILL

Replace sugar with honey in coffee and tea and enjoy all the natural goodness 🙌

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🤙🏻💜🫂

Entering the fiat mines after 13 days off hits hard.

If you couldn't already tell, yes I'm going to be the most annoying person on all of #Nostr when MOASS finally starts

I've been waiting 4 YEARS for this, while 10x more people have given me shit for it than ever did in #Bitcoin.

The #GME story has barely gotten started. 2021 was a can-kick, shorts never closed, and we're about to see the biggest short squeeze in history.

I'm looking forward to walking away from the Fiat Stock Market Finale with enough gains to make Saylor's #BTC buys look small
