What’s going on in Hong Kong? Stocks down 10% this morning, worst crash since 2008

really crazy that our politicians don’t don’t do the simplest thing to do interviews with folks on the “other side.”

literally the only way to win more people out of the bubble.

I JUST NEED A WAY TO EASILY COMMUNICATE WITH RIDE OR DIES.

NOSTR ALREADY SOLVED THAT.

THE REST WILL COME WITH TIME.

I agree about sending slowly in tranches, but getting good at setting up new wallets is a skill everyone should develop. Otherwise you risk being left behind the cutting edge of Bitcoin security because it’s “Lindy” and you get got like Luke got got.

Don't know why anyone would do something as dumb as that tbh. A passphrase can be saved in a password manager perfectly safely.

You’re not a Bitcoiner until you…

Buy Bitcoin.

But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange.

So you get a hardware wallet.

But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger.

So you get a cold card.

But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase.

So you use a passphrase.

But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better.

So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig.

But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks.

So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too.

But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these.

So you disperse them throughout the country.

But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk?

So you disperse them to multiple countries.

But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets?

So you…

There’s actually no end.

It just keeps going like that forever.

Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂

But wait, how does my family access my Bitcoin if I die suddenly?

I used to believe in extending politeness to everyone.

Covid broke me of that.

Name all this Bitcoin Circular economies:

1) Bitcoinbeach

Every transaction i make from now on will have MAGA on it.

Stack assets, not liabilities.

No one allows themselves to be shot in the ear, sure, but *fake* shot in the ear? Why wouldn’t he?

Do you guys scroll your Nostr Feed?

If so, what client do you use?

if they lose your attention

they lose their power

“But Erik, no one cares about decentralized, open-source, censorship-resistant protocols!”

Right, just like how most of the Jews in Germany in 1935, despite the writing on the wall that what was going to happen was much more horrific than what had happened, most just kept plugging along, staying in their lane, oblivious to their own impending murder by the state.

“The state would never let that happen!”

They did and they’ll do it again. And again. And again.

They keep stealing, killing, and violating every ‘right’ you have until you don’t let them do it anymore. Or they enslave you. Or kill you.

Look, all the lemmings are gonna living in the camps, lick the boots, eat the bugs, and own nothing and ‘be happy’ under the tutelage of global ‘happy happy nice nice we all love each other and are totally equal…except for white men who are piece of shit who must burn’ communism.

These people are worse than useless, but are detrimental to creating real change where we could be empowered against such totalitarianism, but refuse to engage it in any meaningful intellectual manner, because they are cowards and slaves, abated mostly unconsciously. They have allowed for the brainwashing to convince them the state is just a giant daddy to care for them and keep them safe. While it is true, it’s a much more sinister version that’s more than happy to engage in filicide because you didn’t clean your room.

Trying to convince these people of real change and empowerment is a waste of time. Focus your efforts on people who want to be helped, and are willing to actually think about why you might need these tools in the future and to prepare for such a future.

The masses are not our allies or friends, and we should stop looking to them as such. Change will come when we valiantly push forward with courage and tenacity that we have the solutions that are needed, and finding those who want to actively work with us to improve, deploy, and develop said solutions.

How long until it becomes commonplace to see Lincoln and FDR as two of the worst (instead of best) presidents because of their despotism that expanded the tyranny of the State?
