I ran the first chapter of my fiction writing through some AI tool out of curiosity to see if it could give me any tips, and it was like, "you could use more inclusive language than 'manhunt'" so I was like, "nevermind, this was a horrible decision, back to my human editor."

People that think that the only way that #bitcoin mining can survive is extra fees from inscriptions, don’t understand free markets, nor the difficulty adjustment.

If all prices fall to the marginal cost of production in a free market, and bitcoin is the first global free market that has ever existed, then block rewards are alone enough to keep a robust market for mining.

Why: because relative to Bitcoin (open, decentralized, secure, protocol, bounded by energy) the rewards are the same in 2130 as they are today because all prices are falling forever.

It’s hard to even imagine the abundance in that world or “money” that you would need because your reference frame is now and the past, but can you imagine our descendants (from that place)- ever changing back to this one.

Just a friendly reminder that creating different incentives, changes behaviour.

I literally just read this response when I saw your note. I was curious myself so just asked AI to see what would come about… paragraph summary on bottom.

Anyone else feel free to chime in if this is incorrect…

Today, March 18, 2025, approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released, fulfilling a directive from President Donald Trump announced on March 17, 2025. This release includes around 2,400 newly discovered FBI records, digitized and inventoried as part of the process triggered by Trump’s January 23, 2025, executive order to declassify documents concerning the assassinations of JFK, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The files are now accessible through the National Archives, both online and in person at their College Park, Maryland location.

### Highlights of the Release

While experts and historians have cautioned that the documents are unlikely to fundamentally alter the official narrative—that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating JFK on November 22, 1963—several details have emerged that add nuance and fuel ongoing debates. Here are the key points:

1. **CIA Monitoring of Oswald**: The files confirm the CIA was tracking Oswald more closely than previously admitted, particularly during his trip to Mexico City weeks before the assassination. Memos detail his visits to the Soviet and Cuban embassies, including a phone call to the Soviet Embassy requesting a visa. This has reignited questions about whether the agency missed or downplayed a potential threat.

2. **FBI Warning About Oswald’s Death**: One document reveals an FBI call warning of a threat to Oswald’s life shortly before he was killed by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963. This suggests some prior awareness of danger, though it’s unclear if this was acted upon effectively.

3. **Oswald’s Cuban Intelligence Ties**: New insights into Oswald’s interactions with Cuban intelligence operatives in Mexico City have surfaced, hinting at possible foreign connections. However, no definitive evidence ties this to the assassination itself.

4. **Mafia Motives Noted**: Some files mention mafia figures expressing motives to target JFK, possibly linked to his administration’s crackdown on organized crime. While intriguing, no concrete proof connects them to Oswald or the event.

5. **Single-Bullet Theory Reinforced**: Ballistics evidence in the release continues to support the Warren Commission’s “single-bullet theory,” which posits one bullet caused multiple wounds to JFK and Governor John Connally. This remains a point of contention among skeptics.

6. **Agency Communication Failures**: The documents highlight breakdowns in information sharing between the CIA and FBI. The CIA knew of Oswald but didn’t flag him as an immediate threat to the FBI, a lapse that has long been speculated upon but is now better documented.

### Controversial Aspects

The release has sparked controversy, not necessarily for rewriting history, but for amplifying existing tensions and conspiracy theories:

- **CIA Negligence vs. Complicity**: The detailed monitoring of Oswald has led some, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to argue it points to negligence—or worse, complicity—by the CIA. RFK Jr., Trump’s Health and Human Services nominee, has long claimed “overwhelming evidence” of CIA involvement, though the files don’t provide a smoking gun to support this. Critics argue this is being politicized, with JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg calling the declassification a “political prop” on X.

- **Second Shooter Hints**: While ballistics lean toward Oswald acting alone, vague references to a “second shooter” in witness statements or acoustic analysis (previously debated by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979) have resurfaced. These remain unproven and contested, but they’ve energized conspiracy theorists.

- **Transparency vs. Exploitation**: The unredacted nature of the release—Trump insisted on no redactions—has been praised for transparency but criticized as a populist move. Some historians, like Fredrik Logevall, suggest the lack of major revelations means it’s more symbolic than substantive, while others see it as pandering to a public hungry for conspiracy validation.

- **Timing and Context**: Dropping this amid Trump’s second term, alongside other high-profile declassification promises (e.g., RFK and MLK files still pending), has led to accusations of distraction from current policy challenges. The Justice Department’s scramble to review the files overnight after Trump’s Monday announcement adds to perceptions of rushed sensationalism.

In summary, the JFK files released today don’t overturn the lone-gunman conclusion but provide fresh details that both clarify and complicate the narrative. The controversial elements—CIA oversight, foreign ties, and agency failures—keep the assassination’s mysteries alive, even if they don’t definitively resolve them. For a deeper dive, the National Archives’ online portal is the place to explore the raw documents.

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Venice: A City Floating on a Submerged Forest.

Since 421 AD, Venice has stood on millions of tree trunks stuck into the clay bottom of the lagoon.

Not steel or concrete, but mostly alder, with a few oaks, support the entire city.

In the salt water, these wooden pillars have petrified over time, becoming as hard as stone.

St. Mark's Campanile alone stands on 100,000 piles, while the majestic Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks.

The ancient builders beat these trees into the seabed, creating a veritable submerged forest.

This unique structure extends up to three meters deep, with piles spaced just half a meter apart.

At 1.6 meters below the waterline, this extraordinary feat of medieval engineering continues, after 1,500 years, to support one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

Bitcoin and Real Estate: How bitcoin is revolutionizing the world's largest asset class. 👇

I am thrilled by the positive feedback on my talk at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r! 🌟 Find the slides in the thread below. A specialt hanks to nostr:npub1lpjqpsl3que0yth4n4jcch0vsvftwx74s8tzh0w7aqx2sddrxrxskszg4m & Diarie (we'll get him on Nostr) who helped me build this presentation. Stay tuned for the video release. 🧵 1/19

(2/19) After learning about Bitcoin in University, I started working in the realestate industry, which allowed me to understand two things:

1. How broken our monetary system is

2. The potential of bitcoin as a superior store of value to real estate.

(3/19) Today, real estate is the number one store of value. Depending on your view on fiat money and debt, up to ⅓ - ⅔ of the world's wealth is stored in real estate. What created #realestate’s role as the world's number store of value ?

(4/19) This development coincided with the “Nixon shock” on August 15, 1971, when US President Richard Nixon announced that the US would end the convertibility of the dollar into gold at a fixed rate. This ushered in a new era of fiat-money, with no currency standard at all. Since then, monetary inflation rates have risen steadily. This has created the use of reale state as the most important inflation hedge (&SoV) in the market.

(5/19) The role of #realestate as an inflation hedge becomes clear when we compare the growth rates of the monetary supply and #realestate prices since 1971.

M2 money supply, which broadly reflects the spectrum of funds available for saving, spending, and investment, has been growing exponentially, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.8%.

(6/19) When we examine the development of the average price of a #home sold in the US, we observe a very similar pattern: the average sales price of #houses has risen at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%, closely tracking the increase in the money supply.

(7/19) The same trend largely applies to commercial real estate, though its growth has not been as aggressive as that of residential properties, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.4%.

(8/19) Laying all three graphs on top of each other reveals that real estate prices closely track the growth of the money supply. As new currency enters the market, people invest to protect their buying power. Real estate, with its scarcity and attractive financing options, became the preferred investment. Banks create new money as credit for mortgages, channeling it into real estate and inflating its nominal value. Its rise largely mirrors the debasement of fiat currency, emphasizing real estate's role as a store of value and its substantial monetary premium.

(9/19) In contrary to today, throughout history, the value of land and reale state has been largely tied to its utility—whether for agriculture, living, production, or generating rental income. This trend has spanned cultures and epochs for thousands of years. Historically, real estate symbolized prosperity, often linked to its agricultural productivity and the social status and political power that came with land ownership. The elite enhanced their estates to boost agricultural output and display their wealth. However, using real estate as a form of #money to store value is a relatively recent development.

(10/19) Many #realestate professionals mistakenly think real estate is a solid investment due to its intrinsic value from utility or cash flow. But this is a flawed concept— value is ultimately subjective.

(11/19) #CarlMenger, a pioneer of the Austrian School of Economics and arguably an inspiration for the Cypherpunks' creation of #Bitcoin, demonstrated already in the 19th century that value is subjective. Consider a Rolex watch: its worth is not primarily a reflection of the materials or craftsmanship, but rather what someone is willing to pay for it. Similarly, real estate's high value often stems not from its utility but its use as a speculative inflation vehicle to preserve buying power against inflation.

(12/19) Comparing real estate and bitcoin shows bitcoin's clear advantages as a store of value: limited supply, high liquidity, divisibility, and ease of movement—crucial in a world with increasing conflicts. In contrast, real estate, or 'Immobile' in German (meaning immobile), creates local dependencies and is vulnerable to taxes, confiscation, or destruction. While #realestate generates cash flow, often used to service debt, it does not necessarily prove its reliability as a store of value. Instead, its rising nominal value is more a reflection of the debasement of fiat currency. Banks profit greatly by creating money, lending it, and charging interest.

(13/19) In 2016, the average US home cost about 1000 bitcoin; now, it's just 10. Real estate is losing value fast compared to bitcoin. To stay competitive in real estate or any field, consider changing your unit of account to bitcoin—it's repricing the world. Like many Bitcoiners, I assess #realestate based on its utility value, and it's likely the market will soon align with this perspective.

(14/19) Bitcoin, a near-perfect digital store of value, is disrupting the real estate sector, traditionally valued for its role as a store of value. By introducing digital scarcity, Bitcoin mirrors the disruptive impact of e-commerce on retail in 1995. Both real estate and bitcoin capitalize on scarcity, but bitcoin extends this concept into the digital realm, enabling exponential growth similar to how email surpassed postal services. Its digital nature allows for faster scaling and increased efficiency. Bitcoin preserves value like real estate but without its drawbacks and liabilities, positioning it as the superior store of value for the digital age.

(15/19) The role of real estate as a trusted store of value and inflation hedge is slowly diminishing. Digital disruption by bitcoin is reshaping the investment landscape, as people can now default to saving in bitcoin rather than having to invest in real estate, which will push property values down to their utility value. Additionally, higher interest rates and surging construction costs have made real estate development and ownership increasingly unprofitable. Coupled with rising maintenance costs due to ESG requirements and the financial exclusion of younger generations like Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, the real estate market is facing profound structural challenges. As digital natives, these generations are more likely to gravitate towards bitcoin as their preferred (digital) store of value, further destabilizing traditional real estate investments.

(16/19) What happens as bitcoin absorbs the monetary premium from real estate? Housing becomes more affordable, benefiting individuals and families with access to reasonably priced living spaces. But this poses a challenge: How will developers survive?

While using real estate as a speculative investment has its drawbacks, the role of the private sector in constructing housing remains important.

(17/19) Real estate investors face a dual challenge from rising interest rates: debts inflate, bloating the liability side of their balance sheet, while higher borrowing costs reduce affordability, depress property values, and shrink the asset side, compounding their financial strain and the challenges in the real estate market.

(18/19) If you're a real estate investors, you can bring bitcoin onto the asset side of your balance sheet to hedge against the shift of the monetary premium from real estate to bitcoin, and create a more resilient business structure. Bitcoin is not just disrupting the real estate sector; it represents a significant business opportunity. IMO, it's not about choosing one asset over the other, but using both strategically in proper sequence to build wealth and a resilient portfolio over time. Even on a Bitcoin standard, the utility value of housing remains vital—people still need places to live and conduct business, making real estate a crucial service to the market that generates rental income.

(19/19) Explore these effective bitcoin strategies I've developed to enhance #realestate investment:

Maintenance Reserves: Safeguard cash flow by potentially taking/converting rent in BTC.

Buy to Hedge: Diversify by converting real estate profits into bitcoin.

Refinance: As speculation shifts from real estate to bitcoin, secure your profits and future by refinancing to buy bitcoin. Note: Be cautious of high interest rates.

Utilize Bitcoin: Bitcoin is pristine collateral for lending and the accumulation of bitcoin, for example through rental income or through the sale of real estate to buy bitcoin, provides a company with a new novel capital base to finance operations or further investments.

Incorporate Bitcoin in Financing: Boost creditworthiness and hedge against defaults by using #bitcoin as collateral in #realestate development.

Managing bitcoin custody properly is crucial—consider multisignature setups or multi-custodial solutions to ensure security ('not your keys, not your coins').
