When responsibility is encoded into the structure of reality, we call it truth. Bitcoin is that structure—an incorruptible domain where honesty becomes survival. That’s why it matters. ~ Jordan Peterson (if he ever fully embraced Bitcoin)

“It’s important that the economy grows faster than the debt”
— Bessent, Treasury Secretary
They are realizing cutting the budget and freezing the debt machine isn’t in the cards, and so they go back to the old playbook.

The Christmas club problem

I first learned of what you’re talking about when I learned of the Christmas club.
The mentality of this … how do you change these bad habits, the correct incentives, yes but it’s so easy to deceive.
Ai quick summary:
The Christmas Club was first introduced by Pennsylvania banker Merkel Landis in 1909. It was marketed as a way for customers to save gradually for holiday spending, but in reality, it served the banks far more than the savers.
Customers locked in small deposits all year, which the bank could lend out or invest, earning returns. If a customer needed their money early, they’d face penalties—losing interest or paying fees. So banks got cheap, predictable capital, while customers got restricted access to their own funds and little to no real yield.
It wasn’t financial empowerment—it was behavior control, wrapped in tinsel.
I can still hear Francisco d’Anconia accent from the audio book even though I’m pretty sure it’s the same person that read all of it.
However, that wasn’t the part to stuck with me the most. The discovery of a decentralized power system and the freedom it gave (the static generator)
I swear by my keys and the sovereignty they afford me, that I will never rely on the permission of another man to transact, nor demand control over the wealth of another.
Class of 2017 and this is the first time I’ve seen this:
Sisyphean task — named after Sisyphus, condemned to push a boulder uphill for eternity, only for it to roll back down each time. The archetype of a futile effort in the face of overwhelming inevitability.
Good luck and godspeed, BTC Map.🫡
This reminds me of the first time I seen mark rober’s glitter bomb video. all the people that leave their cars open just so the windows don’t get smashed. As if it’s a logical way to deal with the problem they just roll over and invite them in. How does someone acquire the mindset
I can’t help but to laugh at these people although they probably don’t care as they have no integrity left.
If this is the mindset that’s creeping into core devs it’s time to start vetting the devs

I found a prompt that puts ChatGPT into hyper-logical mode—I'll drop it in the comments.
I asked it to rate my Bitcoin knowledge. It came up with 5 reference tiers—but gave me a more precise score.
Guess what score it gave me (0–5 scale) by this Saturday. Closest guess wins.
