Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. Hyperbitcoinization will be the greatest moral awakening since the industrial revolution.

Money is a living power that dies without its root.

Fiat’s root? Violence.

Bitcoin’s? Energy and math.

The root of production is man’s mind.

Bitcoin is the mind’s money.

You can’t erase the reality of shared knowledge.

Moochers want UBI. Bitcoiners want open protocols. One breeds dependence; the other, resilience.

Ist dein graphene os up to date?

Da gabs ein paar workaround in den letzten updates.

Inflation rewards debtors. Deflation rewards savers. Bitcoin is the savers’ revolt—a strike against the cult of consumption.

It's absolutely incredible that tropic square managed to produce and ship the first version.

Literally EVERYONE told them that a open secure element was impossible to produce.

Bitcoiners are going to safe the world with sheer will and dedication.

Nice!

How does this handle groups?

Your “public good” is someone’s private loot.

Read some good literature, sit down and write a bunch of bitcoin related posts based on it.

This ones from the Atlas Shrugged Money Speech session.

Paper money is a hostage note. Bitcoin is a ransom paid to freedom itself - the cryptographic key to unshackled human potential.

Its one of the great cypherpunk manifestos.

Fractional reserve banking: Because why have 1 fake dollar when you can make 10?

When hyperbitcoinization comes, remember: We didn't demonize the looters. We simply built money that made looting impossible. Checkmate.

The right to exit is the ultimate human right. Preserve it fiercely.

Artist patronage is amazing, giving them capital to buy the tools that will serve them a lifetime.

Captains compete to attract the best pirates.

Very true!

Well, you can do that with ocean datum though.

Plus you can choose different variants of templates created by the pool.

Encryption is resistance.

We seek no rule, no dominion. Only the freedom to live as neighbors, partners, and equals. Join us or ignore us—but do not obstruct us.

The free market punishes incompetence.

The State rewards it.

Governments only ban what's popular.

I hand-picked certain classical liberal/libertarian intellectuals and asked ChatGPT to describe briefly how they debunked Socialism.

Here's what it responded with:

1. Mises – Economic Calculation Problem: Without market-driven prices, socialist economies lack a mechanism for rational resource allocation, leading to inefficiency, waste, and economic collapse due to the impossibility of effective central planning.

2. Hayek – Knowledge Problem: Economic knowledge is decentralised and constantly changing; central planners cannot access or process this information effectively, making socialist planning inherently flawed and inferior to spontaneous order in free markets.

3. Rothbard – Ownership Problem: Socialism divorces ownership from responsibility, resulting in mismanagement, waste, and perverse incentives where resources are depleted rather than preserved, as no individual has direct accountability for their use.

4. Hoppe – Argumentation Ethics: Socialists deny self-ownership and property rights but rely on them when arguing, making socialism philosophically self-contradictory, as rational discourse presupposes individual control over one's body and actions.

5. Bastiat – Seen and Unseen: Socialists ignore unintended consequences, focusing only on immediate benefits while neglecting hidden economic costs, such as wealth destruction, inefficiency, and reduced innovation caused by government intervention.

6. Saifedean – Time Preference: Socialism raises societal time preference by discouraging savings and investment, leading to short-term consumption, economic stagnation, and deterioration of capital accumulation necessary for long-term prosperity and civilization-building.

7. Menger – Subjective Value Theory: Socialism fails because value is subjective, not intrinsic; only free markets can determine prices based on individual preferences, making socialist price-setting arbitrary, inefficient, and economically destructive.

8. Böhm-Bawerk – Capital and Interest: Socialism misunderstands capital structure and time preference, failing to account for how interest rates coordinate production over time, leading to resource misallocation and economic stagnation under central planning. have debunked Socialism.

That's quite accurate!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
