The constant labeling of America as a “democracy” is intellectual laziness at best, deliberate deception at worst.
Our media and political establishment either don’t know or don’t care that we’re a Constitutional Republic. The distinction matters because it’s the entire point of our system.
The Founders built a republic specifically to prevent tyranny of the majority. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. A constitutional republic is where the sheep has inalienable rights the wolves can’t vote away. If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand America!
I want to go back to a world where irresponsible and corrupt banks crashed and went out of business.
The fact that we now celebrate keeping insolvent institutions on life support as “financial stability” is the greatest propaganda victory banks ever achieved. Let them burn.
This is what my weekends are for.

I post what I post because clarity is mercy in an age of deliberate confusion. “Based” is simply refusing to participate in the delusion that man can live by politics alone. If you sense something essential has been lost, if you refuse to genuflect before progressive historicism or reactionary nostalgia, you are already thinking beyond the secular cage.
You should Follow for unflinching examination of normalized lies and psychological honesty about what it costs to live in a civilization at war with human nature. The anxiety resolves when we recover the wisdom that transcendence is not optional for human flourishing. The future belongs to those who see past the secular experiment’s failure.
We’re living through a peculiar market failure right now.
Consumers have been burned by inflated pricing on mediocre goods so many times that they’ve grown skeptical of all premium offerings. At the same time, the few makers who are still committed to truly exceptional work struggle to signal their differentiation in a sea of false premiums.
The real luxury in modern markets isn’t the product itself anymore. It’s the credible signal that something was made with uncommon care. Trust, not price, has become the scarcest resource.
What we pay for and what actually deserves premium treatment have diverged. The question is whether they can ever realign.
Bro. How insane would that be? 🤣
Scripture may not explain monetary mechanics, but it gives us something more fundamental, the moral framework within which any sound understanding of money must operate. The technical details we derive through wisdom applied to creation. Below 👇🏻

Gm to everyone who chooses to stay.
You can choose algorithmic feeds and frictionless notifications. But understand what you’re actually choosing: letting someone else decide what you see, when you see it, and whether you get to speak at all.
Sovereignty has a cost. It always has. The question isn’t whether Nostr is harder to use. The question is whether you believe the ability to speak without permission is worth the inconvenience of building it yourself.
The devs working on shoestring budgets aren’t just fixing UX problems. They’re answering a deeper question: can we have digital communication that no one controls?
Every day you stay, you’re voting yes.

Very well. Agreed. 🤝
You’re describing exactly why circular Bitcoin economies matter. If your thesis depends on converting back to dollars, you’ve already conceded the game.
Chokepoint control of fiat on-ramps is only a problem if you need their permission to transact. They can regulate exchanges and add KYC friction, but they cannot stop peer-to-peer transactions or prevent you from accepting Bitcoin for goods and services directly.
Your argument assumes everyone needs to touch regulated rails. Bitcoin adoption accelerates precisely where state monetary control fails. The containment strategy works in stable jurisdictions until it doesn’t.
Saying “they can make it hard to interface with their system” is not the same as “they can stop Bitcoin from functioning as money.” One is friction, the other is control. If they could actually stop it, they would have already.
Circular economies aren’t cope, they’re the end game. Stop measuring success by how easily you can exit back to fiat.
Your argument is that governments have guns therefore cryptography is pointless. That’s not a critique of Bitcoin, that’s just acknowledging state power exists.
Without Bitcoin, they don’t need to find you. They devalue your savings through inflation, freeze your account remotely, or debank you with a phone call. With Bitcoin, they have to physically come get your keys. That’s forcing them to use their most expensive, least scalable tool. They can’t remotely seize Bitcoin from millions of people. They need warrants, arrests, and physical access per person.
The game theory still holds. They can’t print Bitcoin. They can’t freeze your keys remotely. They have to physically find you and compel you. That’s the most expensive form of power projection, and it doesn’t scale. That’s the whole point.
They seized it from criminals who gave up their keys or had bad opsec. That’s not a protocol vulnerability, that’s custody failure. The alternative is fiat where they just print infinite supply. I’ll take they need my keys over they control the printer any day.
