Craig Wright is worse than a fraud. He's a destroyer and a coward.

The hardness of a monetary system depends upon how much truth it is integrated with. Since truth is the hardest substance in existence, the monetary system most integrated with reality will be the hardest, and will have the most peaceful effects on the users emotions.
This is why Bitcoin is the hardest monetary system so far, because it is most aligned and integrated with the 1st principles of reality.
Just watched Cocaine Bear with my wife #[0]. It was horrific and hilarious and jaw dropping. If you want escapism and entertainment this is going to be your jam.
When a man can discuss the nature of money and the anti-truth that ownership is theft, and recover what the deepest reality is concerning these, with his wife, that man has found a good wife.
That man is me, and my wife is #[0], and I'm truly blessed by God to be her husband.
There's a saying in recovery groups.
"You're only at sick as your secrets."
This is true for relationships, but it's also true for money. The more secrets money holds, the more toxic it is and the more vulnerable it becomes to collapsing because nothing real is holding it up.
Bitcoin works because it doesn't keep unnecessary secrets, so it is largely non toxic. Since it doesn't keep unnecessary secrets, and adheres to first principles aligned with reality, it has difficult to violate boundaries.
Ugh. Gross. Insane people take solice in slavery. But at least they were paid by the government to sit on their asses.
In the fiat system, the real question is, "Can a penalty be exacted? And if so, by who?" Because there is no real ownership in a fiat system, only coercion.
Therefore, for there to be real ownership, there must be no intensity of coercive force that can remove ownership. Only in that system does real ownership exist.
That's why Bitcoin can work, because it's possible to steward ownership in a way that no force outside of the owner can change.
There are certain people like you, and my wife, who seek to convert negatives into positives, and it makes the world the better place while encouraging me. Thank you.
The more I know the more I know I don't know. I really like that verse that talks about the humility that comes from wisdom. Ironically, discovering how much I don't know inspires me to learn more! There is beauty I've found in the opportunity to learn for eternity.
While I agree with you to some degree, there is an opportunity to create super fans who eventually follow most things a leader produces in books or other media. So while it may not actually be passive income, as least its semi-asynchronous. Once a leaders web of content is large enough, and their depth of content is deep enough (while still providing excellent value), super fans can become word of mouth marketers to new clients. And if that cycle repeats itself, then a leaders career is born, because ultimately, that leader wants the best for people.
To your point about repositories, I do keep my books on Amazon so it does help to have a mix of social media, word of mouth marketing, and a repository. I'm hoping Nostr or a client will enable me to build out a Store tab in my profile so I can sell books and courses that materially help people, in exchange for Bitcoin using Lightning. How cool would that be?!
That looks like a super fun and interesting conversation.
Thank God. The economy is due for a good cleaning.
Time to buy the housing dip!
When will you implement it?
Unfortunately, that isn't a user friendly approach to Bitcoin. If a person automatically has access to zap someone constantly presented to them, as opposed to needing to go through even one or two more steps, it makes a huge difference in engagement. Think of the difference between buying on Amazon with a single click, or having to go through a belabored process to make a purchase. People largely want their transaction to be simple, convenient, and easy.
Yes. It's the monetization of the victim identity.
