Reminder that capital gains are calculated on US dollars and are NOT adjusted for inflation. If you have a stock that goes up 6% and you sell it, but the money supply goes up 7% in the same time frame, then the government dropped the value of your investments overall and is still demanding a cut of the "gains" your investment saw in dollar denominated units. What a farce.

Anybody know why my nsec doesn't work when trying to login with mobile? Everywhere I try to use it is says "invalid". #nostr #login #mobile

I can't stop myself sharing these 😂

When I criticize Kamala, NPCs assume I’m pro-Trump.

When I criticize Trump, NPCs assume I’m pro-Kamala.

The NPC mind cannot fathom that someone can be critical of *both* parties.

There is no red.

There is no blue.

There is the State.

And there is you.

Not really. Why should it? Making it illegal would make it illegal for any national company to accept bitcoin for paiment. And no exchanges could be maintained in the country. But yeah. Holding and exchanging bitcoin might not be possible.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Nuts. She won't like signed notes.

And then ironically when America banned gold, it was too expensive to enforce at scale. They didn’t go door to door. Many families just hodled for decades until it became legal again. Few people were ever prosecuted because that’s embarrassing and expensive for the government. It was threat over action. It was like banning marijuana.

What are some of the best movies of the past five years?

I was going to therapy for awhile.

Then I orange pilled my therapist at 68k.

Haven’t been back since 😂

Oh you're a bitcoiner? So you listen to 4 podcasts a day and think you will overthrow the entire financial system with your raspberry pi?

If you think they are going hard in the paint on Elon so far, I don’t think you’ve seen anything yet…
