Governments are just puppets. Figure out who did 911 and JFK. Inside jobs but not by the government.

Communism, in small groups, is the natural state of humans. It’s built into us to care about our fellow humans, and to share with them. This helps us all.

Things got complex once we started living in groups lager than Dunbar's number in villages and cities as our instinctual communism does not scale. This is when we develop money and ‘market economies’ as this does scale.

As our cities have grown in numbers, they have shrunk in community and connection. There are now a lot of people who are incredibly lonely as we are living unnaturally isolated lives, and this is a big part of what fuels anti-capitalist sentiments.

A lot of people who have perfectly natural and healthy human instincts make the error of trying to scale their sharing tendencies. They see ‘the state’ as their vehicle for recreating community care. These are the people who want the ‘social safety net’. And of course that is how humans are made to function, a community safety net is what we are built for. The issue, again, is with trying to scale it not only to above Dunbar’s number, but to millions of people.

People who don’t know how to connect with others, for any reason good or bad, the ‘anti-social’ people, some autistic people, sociopaths, etc. tend to become “capitalists” in big part because they have less of the sharing instincts and have less ability to perceive the needs of others.

Quite often the ‘bleeding heart liberals’ are the more psychologically and relationally healthy people. Their big error isn’t in their instincts, it’s in not understanding that the policies their instincts want them to support were built for small groups and don’t scale to millions.

The solution here is to bring back the tight knit smaller communities, practice the natural communism in those groups, create social safety nets there, and to engage in ‘capitalism’ or ‘market economics’ with the broader world.

Just realised the full insanity of this country’s tax system…

In Germany, if I buy Bitcoin, hold it for three months, and the price goes up then use it to buy a laptop, I have to pay taxes on the difference.

Didn’t sell. Didn’t cash out. Just spent it.

But the Finanzamt says:

“That’s a sale. We want our cut.”

So yeah… even using your own money can make you a criminal here.

Need. An. Escape. Plan. 😱

So serious question here.

I understand that MSTR has enough bitcoin to ultra cover its outstanding debt.

I also understand that MSTR is basically bitcoin volatility and dividend yield products wrapped around an unprofitable zombie software operating company.

SO - if MSTR is paying dividends on its derivative products (STRD, STRK, STRF) but MSTR is not selling Bitcoin and the operating company is unprofitable - WHERE DOES THE YEILD COME FROM TO PAY THE DIVIDENDS?

I ask people who are experts in traditional finance (and who are in MSTR or its circle of direct products / side products) to explain this to me in clear and simple English and the response I keep getting is “It’s too complicated, you wouldn’t understand”

Experience has taught me that this a very strong indicator of bullshit being afoot but perhaps I am missing something…

While for Trump this is just playing cards, when they just watch how Russia kills innocent people, invades nations, and what #Trump does, kisses Putin’a ass. Well. That is one of the most embarrassing things a world leader ever can do. I’m happy that #Zelensky stayed brave and didn't give up his principles and mission to protect their nation. Europe is with Ukraine while the USA betrayed a democratic, values-based world. #Europe

The reason mining pools set low difficulty thresholds today is so that they can provide metrics to their miners. There is a better way.

If the miner runs a hashrate proxy they can monitor their own metrics and only submit actually valuable proof of work shares upstream to the pool. This reduces the resource load on the pool and solves practically all performance problems.

We don't need to do things the stupid way just because that is how they have always been done.

I swear to god this computer has been the biggest pain in my ass as any device I have ever owned.

The power blinked off for 6 seconds because the wind was blowing this morning, and my Linux computer appears to be fucked. I can’t even get a response from the motherboard.

I want to fucking scream

(Pinging nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 who is the only one who understands the deep and furious pain of this project)

I’m pretty cranky about the shitcoin rally. Now every retard that made a few bucks think they are Warren Buffet.

Let’s make a deal.

You say something true below and I zap you 615 sats.
