Damn, wish I had known. I have those on the shelf in the shop. They’re called low profile minis
No, money is not a “collective illusion” or more often called a “collective delusion.” How many times does Saifedean have to address this one for people to learn…
Fairly certain that idea is not from Menger (maybe a misreading of Menger), but more likely Keynes and it’s a socialist idea, not an Austrian one.
You don’t just arbitrarily decide that one money is better than another and then the market uses it successfully based on delusion. Rather, the marketplace, over time, organically determines the best money based upon monetary properties (scarcity, durability, portability, etc.)
“History shows it is not possible to insulate yourself from the consequences of others holding money that is harder than yours.” - Saifedean https://v.nostr.build/N4lbhGgaLOmTxykq.mp4
Just because the marketplace gravitates towards the hardest money, doesn’t mean it’s not a collective illusion.
If someone just woke up from a 20 year coma, and you offered the choice of $100k or something called a bitcoin, which do you think they’re going to take?
For everyone to eventually accept it as the best form of money, they first have to buy in to the idea.
GM Nostr peeps
This might be the strangest thing I’ve ever posted on #nostr.
Biden, a Catholic, became a Master Mason with a Black lodge in North Carolina on his second last day as President.

I’ve been skeptical in the past, but maybe we really do live in a simulation
Two dudes in 2003, unaware they were making a legendary song https://video.nostr.build/592681370fcb5ea09d35f18c6114a62eb73487167365ac967fb638b4eb5a25d5.mp4
Never seen this clip, thank you! Love it
Depending on manufacturer, the modem may also provide geolocation data through a gps antenna. So if you have built in navigation in the vehicle, it will stop working. Also, if your car has any type of emergency call system like on Star, that will no longer function in an emergency.
No one understands what she’s saying, and that’s exactly the point
I tuned her out long ago. Everything about her screams controlled asset to me, spreading fud
This was an art teacher in California. 99% chance she was a raging fucking liberal. So save your thinly veiled attacks on conservatives.
Great idea. I would be willing to contribute some technical research for this
Definitely won’t void warranty, although I would probably plug it back in before you take the vehicle to a dealer for repair/maintenance. Also, if you have a vehicle that gets over the air software updates(mostly EVs for now), unplugging this will keep you from getting new updates
Throughout history, important change has never come from the masses anyway. Only from a small percentage of determined individuals.
I showed this to my non-Nostr bitcoin friend, and he said it looks like an event where everyone will be naked. Any truth to this?? 😆
They can even be shared with people that don’t use iPhone or Macs
Heard about a big breach over at Volkswagen?
Here's whats going on. Every major car company collects your driving data. And everything I've learned about this subject makes me want to go into the dash and start pulling wires out.
100% of car companies collect unnecessary data
84% share/sell it
92% provide insufficient control over data.
(Data: Mozilla Foundation investigation)
Most pour it into the shady data-broker ecosystem.
Where it goes to god-knows who. And represents a really exciting stream of surveillance data for governments and everybody else.
Most also turn it over to governments.
And insurance companies.
We got here because, in search of new revenue streams, these car mfrs turned to mining owners for movement data.
Their disrespect for your #privacy is a through-line, and is reflected in just how sloppy they can be about protecting it.
Unsecured AWS? Ugh. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
This massive data exposure happens to be Volkswagen, but the story tracks for every major car company.
When companies do offer some sort of opt-out... your car might break. Or so they warn you.
We are still in earliest days of people investigating and pointing this out, but things are bound to get worse with electronic vehicles.

Nissan breach report:
As a longtime auto technician and engineer, this functionality can be disabled easily on most cars by simply unplugging your vehicle’s cellular modem. And you generally won’t have any adverse effects in the operation of the vehicle.

hopefully other wine makers will see you being successful on a Bitcoin standard, and start to consider the option for themselves
