When people look at the bill and complain about rising prices, I'm sympathetic with their disbelief and anger, but know that this is self inflicted pain.

There is no reason to use their inflationary shitcoins. Yes, you would still feel the effects of uneven rise and distortions of price signals even if you only used sound money. But the general effect of inflation just goes away.

It's similar to surveillance. We can complain all we can about big tech watching over our private messages. But we can use end to end encrypted messaging and the problem goes away.

It does not require change in others. Use surveilled messengers to invite people over to encrypted services. Install GrapheneOS. It's no problem, don't overcomplicate. Same with fiat. Use it as an interface with the larger economy. Change only what you need into the shitcoins. No need to lecture others, give them the funny coins they want. Perpetual short of fiat.

Overcomplicating and complaining about the sad state of the world gives you likes, individual action makes your life better. Don't find excuses.

It's all so complicated, no one uses it, how will I do something I'm used to doing the old way.... There were countless of people who have had similar excuses and old ways of doing things. They just changed and now they are doing things differently. It's not so hard.

The day is today.

my original goal was 52 books this year, but i’m so far ahead i’m switching the goal to 100.

a tip for comprehension and retention: upload a screenshot of everything you’ve read to your favorite ai and ask it to periodically discuss/quiz topics in the books with you.

Would you work in a Burger King for 10 years for100 bitcoin?

You don’t get the bitcoin until the end.
