I once asked a guy that posted a list of the 10 best reads of the year, which was his favorite.
He replied that he couldn’t answer that because he hadn’t read them.
The internet is the only place where you can give the appearance of good advice without having any knowledge.

“The extraordinary size and scale of the U.S government and the business it does with companies should create value for American citizens,” Lutnick told reporters."
Some other great stories here. Another solid episode
Two things. 1. I thought the vaccine comment was odd.
2.This is how China does it. At the end of Kai-Fu Lees book he walks through it.
If not done in an authoritarian way, it is more of a capitalist move than what we call capitalism today.
If done wrong it’s more communistic and would mirror today’s version of capitalism which really just centralized power, money and control into fewer and fewer hands each decade. ie has more communist impact than capitalist.
#Bitcoin and #NOSTR are networks and involve protocols just like any other. From a first principles standpoint point it makes sense they and terminologies would be so similar, but I’m curious if there are any thoughts on why their construction, terms and development are so similar to TCP/IP, TOR, cell networks, etc.? Is there only one way to do it?
Best part about today?
We can all break out the “we’ll never see #bitcoin under $100k” memes… yet… again. 😅
I can hear the clacking of normie keyboards.

In 5yrs when no one actually reads but lets AI (chatGPT) tell them what to think.
What do you think is going to happen?? 👆👆👆 on steroids.

I don’t think this can be reshared enough.
Enjoyed this conversation w/ nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv to discuss his upcoming book The Big Print.

Want to understand the problem Bitcoin solves and how it’s the solution to today’s financial issues?
Tune in and grab a copy of Larry's book when it drops! 🚀📚
When financial systems, funded by rehypothecated fiat, turn to financial warfare.
The game changes: it’s a different kind of Cantillon effect.
It’s no longer how close you are to the printer 🖨️ that matters. It’s how close you are to the information.
Information is 💵. #Bitcoin is information & money.
🔥 so true. Seeking a new king is the problem. They will not be able to save you.
The simple things in life are the biggest asymmetric trade; ever.
It’s funny how we seek freedom but spend our days running toward complexity and noise as a means to try and find it.
All the while, it’s in front of us and in the places we are not looking, the whole time.
Probably just another conspiracy, but the timing of this on the back of new leadership speaks volumes at how quickly people just “magically” change their minds.

On their own terms of course.
A couple of great quotes from nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9's Permanent Record.
“The America, I returned to felt like a changed country. Every other word was the name of some TV show or movie I didn’t know, or of a celebrity scandal, I didn’t care about. … grow up do your work pay your bills.”
“The data we generate by living or just by letting ourselves be surveyed while living would enrich private enterprise and impoverish our existence in equal measures. … Corporate surveillance was turning the consumer into a product that corporations sold to other corporations, data brokers, and advertisers.”
The cloud component everyone ignored in the early 2000s also applies to #Bitcoin and crypto.
Very much agreed. Went from relatively unknown to common term over a news cycle.
A very WWI & WWII style solution. 🫡
Information is no different because money is information.
It’s all the same cycle. Different dates, different people, different tech.
The same problems that feel new.
New solutions that are really re-packed old ones.
People re-fall in love with the wave of narratives.
Human behavior always ends the same way.
Morals and sound money > time > time > immoral and broken money
I don’t disagree. Just explaining the desire and mindset of the less than 20%. The 80% rarely change. Maybe he’s catering them? It’s a much easier sale?

Started writing a book on this last year. People have begun to clue in.
It’s what #Bitcoin teaches.
