Bitcoin is way greener than that. As sources of cheap (geothermal, etc) energy, Bitcoin makes them sources of WEALTH.

People will move to wealth, so BTC causes humans to migrate to cheap energy, which is much greener than transporting energy to other places to the use it.

Bitcoin fixes this problem (stranded cheap energy)

“There’s that fag talk we talked about.”

They would only add them to foreign reserves if they were working for us.

Much more likely that they’re selling us out to the big banks so they get some cheap bitcoin. They know the supply is limited to 21 million just like we do.

I’d posit that we don’t have free markets.

Banks get to loan money into existence. Why can’t we do that? Because we are not on the list of winners as picked by the (gov) regulators, who themselves are influenced (by those winners already on the list) to not let more people onto the winners list.

I still don’t see a difference between Corporatism and Fascism.

The bottom line is that all forms of government are really just named for where they BEGIN on the continuum of authoritarianism (vs libertarianism / anarchism) since they all suffer from the bureaucratic lifecycle, they all grow in size and authority until collapse or overthrown.

We need to be able to constantly make new New Worlds where individuals and ideas can be freely exercised and demonstrated without permission from anyone else.

Nostr and BTC hopefully provide the next New World we need!

Not when a license is required to cut hair

I’m not using strict political definitions so my word choice maybe could have been better.

We’re choking on the size of the bureaucracy in government but also in the corporate bureaucracy that exists due to the government bureaucracy that constantly creates new rules without fixing old ones.

The choking is the reduction of abundance (wealth) caused by bureaucratic make-work which reduces actual productivity.

The choking results in more rules that ultimately defend the wealth streams of the wealthy at the expense of those at the bottom of the economic ladder whose rungs are removed by the new rules.

I agree. Part of cybersecurity is uplifting outdated patterns or anti-patterns in developed code… like teaching devs not to roll their own authentication or session management

It is sad but it also makes me mad…

The generation that inherited so much abundance provided by capitalism then kept saying yes to every politician’s or government’s program, many of which were CLEARLY unsustainable from the start (self-delusion, can-kicking).

Now, we all have to deal with consequences of them ignoring the reality that the capitalist system got replaced with socialism - a system that is unable to bring the abundance they now seek

I keep hearing about a btc crash but I checked and there’s still a hard limit of 21 million

so it’s just on sale

He should have done 100% in VOO to save on fees

Nice rack!

Fun car facts:

The Chevrolet Corvette came out in 1953

C2 started in 1963

C3- 1968

C4- 1984

C5- 1997

C6- 2005

C7- 2014

C8- 2020 (current)

Corvette, an American Legend

My 1982 Yamaha Maxim 650 was all rigged up.

I had no money to fix the broken key switch in college, so I bypassed it and had a copper wire to insert to “turn the key on”

But, since the handlebar start button was also missing I used the actual key to short the start button contact with the surrounding metal to “press the start button”.

So, yes, I hot-wired my own bike every day to get to campus…

before I dropped out in favor of a full time IT consultant and instructor position.

She’s going to sh*t a solid gold brick!

I’ve never known anyone to know that song but me.

Rocks hard af!
