So far, it’s a little confusing here. But, hi 👋

Seems like the banking snow ball is accelerating.

The bad banks are all going to be consolidated into the big four banks, which doesn't solve the problem. It simply centralizes all of the risk into fewer institutions.

How many new Bitcoiners are minted daily?

Today, I'm bearish on the entire bitcoin space (for the first time ever)

Bitcoin is fine, nothing changed, but it seems I attributed a lot more intelligence to the leaders in this space than they deserve. "Leaders?" you may ask. Yes, there are no leaders in bitcoin, but there are in the Bitcoin Space, and I gave them way more credit than they deserve. Don't get fooled by fancy marketing friends. Keep your bullshit detectors fine-tuned and don't delude yourself with wishful thinking.

It is left as an exercise for the reader to plot the new point on the graph. nostr:note1y9qegxv4tnwnyzy7tz8rdcr3t09kvd4x25fph6fcff7jj3sq2nlq29lxe0

Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate, and First Republic Bank were larger than the 25 banks that failed in 2008...

“Don’t ever spend your bitcoin, just HODL” culture is really annoying. We’re trying to build a money, y’all, not a shiny rock you buy and stare at on a shelf!

Sure, most of us don’t have a ton of reason to spend bitcoin, but don’t shit on people who spend it! I guess I don’t have to tell nostriches this much cause y’all love the zaps.

What we’re doing isn’t completely altruistic. The situation is getting out of hand in our little town. Really the only thing we can do is help them keep moving. If they can’t keep moving, they’re stuck. If they get stuck, crime goes up. It happened before.

Open money, Open protocols, Open markets, Open borders.

Reject arbitrary boundaries everywhere.

There are 3000 migrants passing through Uvita every day for the past 2 weeks. Women, infants, grandmas, whole families.

They were already charged $300 to get thru the Darien Gap (look it up if you don’t know).

They’ll be charged thousands by the cartels to get thru Mexico.

Today, we bought 20 onward bus tickets for 3 families with small children.

Any zaps on this post will go towards buying more onward bus tickets.

All the drama is exhausting, too many people act in bad faith, you don’t have to believe me, and you definitely shouldn’t trust me, but I try my best to act in good faith and call things how I see them.

Gotta say though, having opposing tribes attack my character in consecutive weeks makes it clear to me that I should keep pushing forward.
