Then put them in storage, and make sure it's cold.

And astrology may have some legitimacy due to seasonal effects on childhood development.

I think the main problem with fed watching is that the fed doesn't even know what it's going to do since it's a reactive agency.

Fed watching is astrology for fintwits.

The vast majority of individuals and firms won't interact with L1 of the bitcoin network. Most will use a service provider like and ecash mint etc.

BTC opens the door for new financial innovators to build on it without permission, as opposed to the tradfi system which has insanely high barriers to entry. The old system of fiat and central banking is on it's way out, most people just don't realize it yet.

My work life balance is shit right now, and it's in large part my own fault. The sense of obligation to work more because there's work that needs to be done is the trap I fall into. And it's only going to get worse until all the boomers die off or medicare goes bankrupt.

I was refuting the statement by citing a counterexample. The USSR was started by an armed uprising against the czar and collapsed after Gorbachev started letting people vote. Exactly the opposite of what Walker said in the post. But whatever.

Not always the case, look at the soviet union. Collapsed because the soviet leadership lost faith in what they were doing.

Trump is a narcistic megalomaniac who appeals primarily to chuds. Panders to bitcoin/crypto crowd for votes, but doesn't get it at all.

RFK gets bitcoin, might even be considered a bitcoiner given how well versed he sounds. He's delusional about other things like wifi/cellphones and vaccines. He's the least bad from a foreign policy standpoint, but is a light socialist economically.

Mamala is a joke that the left is stuck supporting because it would be an incredibly bad look to push a woman of color aside. Has no real opinions of her own, and probably has no idea what bitcoin even is.

To my fellow Americans, which flavor of poison would you choose?

I have no idea what you just said.

On my way to a leaner, more muscular body. Steady as she goes.

Is it possible for objectivity to exist if there is no God or religion?

Why? Doesn't mean you have to worship the guy or agree with him on everything. It's clearly better to support politicians who are pro bitcoin. We are a large enough cohort and many of us are single issue voters, so we can force all of them to become pro bitcoin because they'll never win otherwise.

Since it is impossible to know how much time you have left, remember to go into a ton of debt and leave that shit for your kids to figure out.

Financial freedom.

Imagine watching one of the walking whales try and fit into that.

Ecash is the killer app for a bitcoin standard. Sure, there's custodial risk but the benefits for ease of use and small payments easily trumps the rugpull downside. Will see a cambrian explosion of innovation on the custodian key distribution side of things and Bitcoin will be the bedrock that the fertile soil rests on. Bullish.

At this point, just being white straight male makes you a Nazi.

It's less about ideology and more about attention, which in my mind is positive. The only way this backfires is if the public at large turns on Trump and Bitcoin by association, which seems unlikely to me. Maybe the marginalized population of the US will start to see Bitcoin as a fuck you to the establishment, which it is.

From a strategic perspective, it makes sense to use whatever means necessary to get as many eyeballs on the conference as possible. The best case scenario would be for Biden and Trump to have debate round 2 at the conference. Not that it's going to happen, but it would get the world talking about it. All publicity is good.

I was raised in the Mormon/LDS church. Being raised in a religious tradition gives answers to many of our toughest questions like why am I here? what is my purpose? what am I supposed to do with my life? etc.

Ever since I left the church early in my adulthood, I've lost something that religion provided for me, a feeling of certainty. I've never recovered. I feel lost most of the time. I find myself wandering around in the realm of ideas, and sometimes buying into this and that ideology at various times. After going through an initial euphoric phase of thinking I've found my new reason for being, I eventually rationalize myself out of it and start searching for something else.

I don't think that religion's are true reflections of reality, but I do think they are beneficial to those who truly buy in. This is true of cults too, the more you buy in, the more it seems to benefit you from a mental/spiritual aspect, even if it means you are less well off from a financial or individualistic freedom perspective.

Ultimately, I have no idea what is true anymore. I've even started to question history and science. Nothing seems real except for what's right in front of my face. I kinda wish that I had kept the faith of my upbringing. It would make life seem more simple. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed for me and I don't have any hope that I'll find another belief system that I could use to fill the hole in my life. I've entered the realm of absurdism and I've struggled to find a desire strong enough to make the struggle seem worth it. I have a wife, kids, good career, wealth, good health, etc. yet I find myself struggling to stay motivated to continue living the way I am. I want to just buy a motorcycle and ride away, wandering the highways for the remainder of my days.
