A bitcoiner takes the slur you hurl at him and wears it like armor.

“uneducated pleb”

“mountain man”

“psychopath”

“maximalist”

“sewer rat”

I know this is heresy here so please don’t stone me… lol. I just don’t care enough to enable them.

Find me on fedi

G/f's in the shower. Imma let her pick the movie when she gets out and crack this leftover can open. I prefer hard ciders or adult apple juice. Lol.

Learning about the nostr killer #web5

What are the merits of #Web5 being Bitcoin-based?

I’ve always been of the mind that #web3 was beyond vaporware, it was vacuumous, a meaningless expression to coin a new brand of monetizating everything on the Internet, in the cheapest way conceivable.

There is nothing wrong with #web2. The idea of any sort of web3 or #web4 or #web5 can only exist or propogate on the back of a successful and thriving web2.

It’s almost embarrassing how many people tried to fight tooth and nail for NFTs and the #metaverse that simply… moved onto the next grift.

Do I think #nostr or #BlueSky will create the foundation of whatever “web5” is supposed to be? Of course not.

As long as web2 works for 99% of the users of the Internet, and until it becomes nonfunctional, there will be no serious migration or adaptation of any web sequel.

Did my first CPFP today. Pretty damn slick.

The greatest accomplishment is becoming/finding your true self..

Most people are profoundly narcissistic.

You can tell because they blame everyone but themselves for anything that happens. They believe that they'd be fine if the world, really specific people, would get their act together. These people are usually fans of books like Catcher in the Rye. They like that book because it tells them what they want to hear. Specifically, that they, too, are geniuses and that it's the world that misidentifies them.

I really hate that book because it tells people that they're really hidden geniuses and that it's society's fault for not recognizing them. No, it's not society that's at fault. It's you. And it's profoundly immature to blame everyone else but yourself. That's what children do, not adults.

Yet if we look at the population, the people that act this way make up a significant percentage. Why is that?

It's because they've never had to grow up. This attitude is characteristic of someone that's never had to deal with adversity. And indeed, we get a lot of people like that under fiat money. Anyone with financial privilege has this potential to be this narcissistic. Honestly, if you constantly got bailed out by your parents or government, you'd never even think of improving.

Fiat money has made things way too comfortable, especially for the class of rent-seekers that don't contribute anything. We'll see a lot more of this as inflation takes its toll.

What is a woman?

Does that question trigger you? Does that question out me as a certain type of person?

What used to be a simple question that any 4-year-old could answer has now become a political hot potato. The reason is ultimately fiat money. Stay with me, because I can already feel your skepticism. What does transgenderism have to do with fiat money?

The reason is that in a fiat money society the government budget is essentially infinite. And that money is very powerful. But with that power comes a lot of needs. In a normal budget, you have to trade off claims of one group against another. But in a fiat budget, there's no real tradeoff, just the magnitude of the injustice that needs correction.

Thus, every group is incentivized to play victim. The bigger the perceived injustice, the more you'll get compensated through government action. Hence, every group exaggerates their victimhood. It's become something of a contest and it's funny to watch one victim group proclaim bigger victim status than another.

Transgenderism and its claims are another vector to claim victim status. It's what will get influence and more government spending. And questions like "what is a woman" being triggering is a way to claim a bigger victimhood status, and the potential purse that comes with it.

If you follow anything far enough, it always goes back to the money. And we have a terrible, terrible money.
