Yeah those early Andreas videos were also a gateway drug!

Blockchain Basics. I was already fairly Libertarian but I had to understand the tech before I could convince myself it wasn’t some kind of nerdy scam.

Let’s just say I was beyond impressed

Read a book in early 2018 after the 2017 bull run. Finally understood how amazing the Bitcoin network was. Kind of blew my mind and I went all in.

It’s unprecedented for sure 😂

Probably lightning

Anyone else notice the overuse of the word “unprecedented”? It’s everywhere and often used incorrectly.

Boomers gonna boomer

The USSR could not fool reality forever and eventually succumb to the truth: Communism is not a sustainable economic model.

When will the USSA finally succumb to the truth: all debts must be repaid in one way or another and wokeism is not a foundation for social cohesion.

Is the climate changing? Yes of course it is. It always has.

Is it caused by humans? Yes, partly so but we don’t have high confidence on how much.

Do we know what the effects will be in 50 years? God no. Our uncertainty that far out with this many variables so incredibly high.

Do we know how humans will adapt? Again, no. Humans are incredibly adaptive.

There is a clear argument for the Precautionary Principle. If you don’t know it’s better to play it safe and not eff with Mother Nature. But it cannot be at the expense of rationale policy and human welfare. If we take the Precautionary response, we need to go all-in on Nuclear and slowly phase out fossil fuels in a coherent and realistic manner.

Also, China and India do not give af and they are #1 in GHG by a long shot. So there’s that.

It is amazing how complete the great climate change psyop has been. 80% of the people I know are terrified of climate change.

Everything that is bad and has to do with weather and climate can be blamed on climate change. Uncertainties, confounding factors, and errors be damned!

ThE sCienTists sAY…

Very solid choice there sir!

I guess the same could be said with the Bitcoiners and the monetary system 🤷‍♂️

Neo Liberals have won the culture war and it’s not even close.

Conservatives and Classical Liberals should retrench into their enclaves, show others success with their values, and wait for the neo liberal order to collapse in on itself. Only then will people come back to sanity.

Capitalism didn’t directly convert Soviet and Chinese Communists. They had to show success from 50s to 90s, then Communism collapsed, then they all realized Capitalism is far better for human prosperity and they converted themselves.

I don’t think Bitcoiners are going to alter the climate change narrative. It’s too strong by now.

We really just need to play into it and show how Bitcoin helps us de carbonize.

I’m terrible at politics because I don’t care about appearances. I only care about doing the right thing, the right way, even if it makes me look bad.

Anyone else feel that?

I believe states like Florida and Texas will secede from the Union before following the blue states into the madness of a cultural revolution. They see history with a wary eye. They see Lenin and Mao and the millions dead.

In a Sea of Snakes, those with Integrity stand apart and will lead the way into a new world.

God Bless You and God Bless #Bitcoin

There is a general malaise in the air. Prices go up. Quality goes down. Sizes get smaller. Our schools are cranking out braindead foot soldiers of the cultural revolution. Our healthcare has never been so expensive and so crushingly frustrating. The service is getting worse, yet requests for tips have exploded. Things just don’t seem to work right.

Every empire and every money has its cycle. Evidence of its twilight is everywhere. We must prepare for the painful end of one paradigm and the beautiful beginning of a more prosperous one.

God Bless You

God Bless #Bitcoin
