Amazing how many so called free people believe that a central banks true purpose is to control inflation and support the economy. Also amazing...magic. Nothing but smoke, mirrors, and slight of hand. Enjoy the show. Price of admission, half of everything that you ever worked for and your childrens future. What a fucking deal.

Ha! You are the boomers of the future, you just don't realize it yet. It will all be your fault for there will be no one left alive ro blame shit on.

When survival requires compliance in a manipulated system, freedom is illusory.

It is pretty absurd, when you think about it, that we use the U.S. dollar, the very thing that’s infinitely inflatable, highly manipulated, and subject to rapid loss of purchasing power, as the metric for measuring the value of hard assets. Or anything for that matter. One ₿itcoin=One ₿itcoin. Pocket full of ashes, we all fall down.

A week after collateralizing.

It's difficult to comprehend the mindset of anyone that doesn't feel the fire to pull their own weight in life. I just don't fucking get it.

The things that they do when not enough people push back. It was the same with the Patriot Act. Same with crippling taxes. The word "optional" will soon be removed from airport facial scanning and replaced with "mandatory". They always start with "temporary" and "optional". It gives them an out if enough people push back. There is power in numbers.

This is MY time. I will store it in any manner that I see fit.

The sun is the rage. The rain is the tears. Lets just stick with sun shower. Lol

Vincas, Lantanas, and Cacti. Thats about all that seems to stay alive for me in the summer.

Another one of the kids has been kicked off social media. This time my nephew, from Facebook for "violating community standards."

What did he do? No one knows. He just got cut off. Profile vanished. No details given.

My niece is "shadown banned" on X, meaning she doesn't come up if you type her username.

What's big tech's problem with Gen Z?

I have no idea what my nephew posted, probably some gaming stuff. My niece posts her political views, which I'm sure are contrary to that of Elon Musk.

Imagine givine a shit what someone thinks to the point you hide their speech? Why must big tech have such control over some random kid's opinions about politics or video games or whatever? Why can't my kids express themselves freely online? They can't, unless they are here.

Then there's a friend who's a retiree, who loves TikTok. But she doesn't want to get banned, so she won't allow followers she doesn't know or risk "getting tattled on."

Rather than jump ship to Nostr, I am seeing folks change THEIR behaviors so as not to lose access to their beloved social media.

"Just don't allow new followers"

"Oh but you can appeal"

"Just create a new account"

"Just wait out facebook jail"

"Just don't post phrases like 'suicide' or other 'dangerous' content—as if posting the word alone is a sin or threat" 🙄 The act of watering down speech to stupidisms like "un-alive" is self-censorship. If I want to post about how I lost a dear friend to suicide and that men's health matters, I can say that here. At least.

Don't self-censor.

Stop putting up with this.

We have Nostr.

Well said

I don't disagree, only saying that was likely holding golds price back. The government doing what governments do. Just a random thought. 😐

BTC USD five year price projection:

Eleventy billion dollars.

Sinners is such a good movie.

Lost me at "bank level security". 😐

The only way for ₿itcoin to not be circumvented by governments, banks, and corporations, is to use it as intended. Selling your ₿itcoin and spending your ₿itcoin are two very different things.

Money is a human thing. Not a government thing. Molon Labe motherfuckers.

The problem with shitcoins. 😐

If you can't place a fiat value on the internet, you can't place a fiat value on ₿itcoin.

me: monero is an awesome addition to bitcoin (it is), one for stacking, the other for private spending

lol. not saying this about everyone, love my bitcoin fam, but it needs to be said that the 'toxic btc cult' reputation seems well earned for more than a few of you.

it's generally the one's who just parrot blanket 'btc is the saviour, everything else is a shitcoin' statements, don't speak with their own words, link to sources they don't really comprehend, think nostr is private, only recently learned why they need a vpn on the internet and don't actually understand how all this privacy stuff works.

harsh? yes. so have recent comments been. bring it. love the free speech.

again this is not for most of you #plebchain. most of you have level heads and still love bitcoin. i am an avid bitcoiner, but i don't drink the cool-aid and ignore it's shortcomings.

bitcoin is about freedom. privacy is essential for freedom. it is complicated to have privacy on a public ledger. bitcoin is an awesome store of value, but it needs a 2nd layer for greater privacy and to solve the fungibility problem. lightning is maturing. cashu is also maturing. monero solves the spend issue now with privacy baked in on a protocol level. it is currency. it's meant to be spent.

The top three mining pools controlling 50-60 percent of the hash rate would be my first concern.
