“Wow… must have been a crappy post”

Just happy to be on this journey with you all. What a time to be alive! ⚡

JUST IN: #Bitcoin pumps over $24k as major 🇺🇸 US banks fail.

From the bird app:

Nearly half of the top 20 banks in the U.S. are seeing their stocks down 20% or more.

More than half of regional bank stocks are down over 40%.

Yeah maybe they’ll launch it at later date. The current version over here is very basic. I’m in the U.K.

It’ll be a couple years, but soon people will realize there is no such thing as a stable coin. A dollars purchasing power forever decreases. Bitcoins purchasing power forever increases.

Nothing is stable when denominated in the price of another currency or asset. An asset is only stable when denominated in itself. 1BTC=1BTC

Once people begin to realize this, they start comparing different assets/currencies and store their value proportionally in the one most likely to store their purchasing power into the future despite the volatility. Everything is volatile, it just depends on what you are denominating it in

🇺🇸 Joe Biden: "Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe."

The banking system:

CashApp doesn’t have Lightning where I am

On the non-custodial end my favorite is Cash app.

What's your favorite non-custodial hot mobile wallet for BTC? Not for Lightning use but a bonus if it has it.

Second largest banking crisis in history, at least 30 banks have been placed under trading halts. Literally no one on Facebook has any idea any of this is happening.

*77 people enter the chat to say they quit Facebook.*

Congratulations.

I still use Facebook to stay in touch with family that lives in other states and to keep up with IRL friends and local events.

However for the past several years, I find myself getting disgusted by the apathy and the general disconnect from anything that is going on in the world. It’s always me bringing the information to the table, and it’s always the grossly uninformed that like to argue about the information that they were not even aware of five minutes ago.

I do think it’s a bit valuable to see firsthand the detachment that the general population really has from these topics. It’s a barometer, it’s a cautionary tale that keeps me grounded in reality.

The reason that our governments get away with everything is because most people are not paying attention to anything outside their front door.

FEW INDEED.

What did banks learn over the last several days? They can have poor risk management and the government will make their debitors whole again. That means even riskier capital management in the future. It's a win/win situation for them.

So why is BTC pumping ? 🤔😵‍💫

Maybe try pitching it to them next time with some good ol' baklava? 🤣

Asked some normie friends what they think of the bank stuff. No concern at all.

I brought up Bitcoin & they scoffed. Same mocking tone as when I mentioned Bitcoin to them in 2012.

Mind-blowing levels of cope and ignorance.

I feel sorry for these guys. They either work for the government or do mindless fiat work. Tried to get them on bitcoin for years.

They must see me as a lucky idiot. I don't know what else to think. 😂

The types of messages I get from people who are concerned about my support of #[0]​

**ACCEPT THAT THIS MESS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY**

I spent the first 37 years of my life in a religious cult, so I understand how people can be indoctrinated to do things they would not otherwise do. Even so, I accept that the things I did while in the cult are my responsibility. They're my fault. I don't do guilt (it's unproductive), but I accept responsibility.

The corrupt financial system is also partly my fault. I supported it, worked with it, helped prop it up. I didn't know any better because I was indoctrinated, but the actions were mine, and I accept responsibility.

(Continues after image)

I got out of the religious cult, and I got out of the Cult of Fiat. I now actively work against such institutions, but it started with accepting that neither would exist if we had all stopped and paid attention to what was being done to us and around us. We didn't ask questions when we should have been.

Many are quick to dismiss personal responsibility. Nothing is their fault. Everything was done to them and that entitles them to wallow in the mire they were thrown into and cause others trouble and everyone has to just put up with it. It's a very fiat mindset.

I like to say that "it's not your fault, but it is your problem." Even if something was done to you that caused you strife and trouble, you're the one that's going to have to deal with it. Many times, though, that starts with accepting the part we played in letting ourselves fall into the trouble or be duped to begin with.

Accepting that is important. It's an opportunity to analyze why we fell for it. If we understand that, we'll be protected from falling for something similar going forward. I guarantee you I will never be in another cult again: religious or secular. I know them all too well.

**So say it with me: I accept responsibility and will never fall for it again.**
