Many people have gotten on my case over the years, especially recently, about pitching Bitcoin and having “the left” accept and understand it. The left, as it exists today.

But here’s what I have to say about that

Many bitcoiners (myself included) fighting for greater freedom and freedom tech are counter cultural

So why is it so hard to understand that the current culture may be resistant to it? It’s not about making Bitcoin and our collective advocacy fit into that culture

It’s about culture change. I hate to burst your bubble if you want or need me to be someone I’m not.

Legacy media is full of SEO optimised headlines and political agendas. If you want real news you'll have to scrape source tickers like AP, Al Jazeera and others directly, strip SEO and political agendas from the headlines and then you got an idea of what is really going on.

So Australians who do not support Israel are now "ISIS inspired terrorists"? wow...

Up to 100, down to 65 . Let’s go

Correct it’s not about making money it’s about not losing money. You don’t even need to buy back lower so to speak, you buy back when the trend become bullish again.

after tonight, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, every day will be a little longer than the day before ☀️

I don't know anyone who has made a living out of it. I've done it twice, but it was unintentional timing not because I am smart.

Well, good point. Can't buy lower, which no one ever does, unless you sell higher.

Gosh, one month ago? I just saw this now. Yeah sure... wait for it! Not much happening till Q4 filings are in before retail Bitcoin gets permission to move again

How to increase carbon output to strengthen the green house effect?

I want a greener healthier planet

It definitely wasn’t Vietnam. 2018 though… that… I don’t know 😂

The difference is that back then people did think that Bitcoin owed them a bull market or NGU.

MATHematically impossible

You could’ve easily zapped me to buy one. R u Jewish too ?

Yes

When she has to pop them out at every chance she gets, she’s just not hot bro. She’s posing to look hot. She’s overrated.

Wtf does it have to do with ethnicity? Her body and eyes are killer. When she was young, she was attractive af. Sydney is more of a sad face with big boobs. There's nothing exciting about her other than the size of those things.

Bandwagon fallacy. Everyone watches porn so porn is good. Everyone likes Drake so he must have good music. Everyone takes vaccines so they must be safe and effective. I can go on and on.

I traded a bunch of Bitcoin for platinum in 2018

Platinum is the altcoin of the metals

Ask me if I feel smart right now?

Brief view of your take, I could include more flaws but it’s getting boring at this point.

-USA doesn’t rule the world or have reserve currency status.

- Cares about MY PEOPLE, MY COUNTRY, MY CULTURE, even if they are inherently the cause of the very thing their citizens want to avoid by displacing and bombing women, children & men across the globe, physically and economically.

- Flourishing of countries is none of his concern? It’s funny that, because it’s your fucking country’s concern.

- Not everything is fiat and money, so I guess we’re going to magically wave a wand and get all your brown people out for you and stop them coming over, because I’m sure they won’t mind living in the metal hut when your country plans to bring DEMOCRACY 🦅🇺🇸 them (*Venezuela cough cough*), happening right now…

- Country is getting worse. No shit Sherlock, mine too. Now like I said, give me a solution that doesn’t involve complete barbarism, tribalism and dehumanisation.

It is not my sanctuary personally, but it is also a country that quite literally dictates everything.

It is a country run on blood, death, war, and oil. Stop crying like a bitch and realise your leaders and your countrymen have failed you, the same way I understand my own country has failed me. Stop being ignorant to the fact that the USA has consumed this planet through greed and destruction. Most of these so called illegals cannot flourish in their own countries because those countries have been designed and shaped that way to benefit silver spooned Westerners. That is not to say things cannot be turned around and transformed, but we really are in for a wake up call.

Flawed ideological premises and narrow lensed thinking will not cut it. People really do not see how much depth goes into all of this. It is easy to say let us just focus on our own countries, but it is an interconnected fiat system. You should know this.

"We are enlightened, but we have a day to day reality which needs to be addressed."

What is that reality to address? Because all I have seen you do is mention that you are sick of illegals in your country. Yet when I point out why they are in your country, you do not seem to give a shit.

What role do you want to play?

A victimized white person who feels wronged and resentful that people of color do not want to be bombed or live in poverty?

Or a human being?

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Maybe bitcoin is the solution to the us federal government debt. And maybe governmental debt everywhere.

Think about it. Suppose you were allowed to tax everyone in the US every time they sold something for more than they bought it for and suppose bitcoin becomes equal in value to all money…you’ll eventually be able to tax all of money as it will all be capital gain along the way…and the more frequently people buy and sell, the larger the fraction of value you get to extract by taxation (just imagine selling all of your bitcoin every time the price went up 10x since 2010 -and immediately rebuying -…you’d pay a tax on your 9:1 gain 6 times…you’d have only 18% of your original stack left if tax rate was 25% (0.75^6=0.18).

It would take forever to fully get my take across and it would be easier speaking, as like I said there is complexity at hand, but I will try to keep it brief.

What I mostly see is a complete and utter failure in people’s ability to take into account the historical process and the evolution of culture as a whole. The process of European colonialism, the process of technological advancement and the advantage the West had, the ten thousand plus years of dominance and hierarchical thinking, which is pretty much embedded within us neurologically as primates, and the divisive nature of ideology as a construct, regardless of whether it is good or bad. Examples of this are shown in the images.

Most people are religiously tied and bonded to their beliefs, their patriotism, and most importantly their sense of belonging to collective groups, race for example. Most resort to ad hominem arguments or flawed logical fallacies because they do not understand how interconnected everything really is.

It is easy for someone like Zach here, for example, to say, "How about we all just worry about our own countries." But what about the fact that your country is quite literally the world’s reserve currency and dictates pretty much everything? "Illegal immigrants need to go home." What about getting the USA out of the Middle East and proxy wars, and out of supporting Israel while bombing, supporting, and destabilizing these countries? If you are an immigrant, are you just meant to sit there and die?

Most true racists believe in superiority and the inferior nature of their counterparts. They have most likely read a few studies about Black people committing more gun violence, but that does not account for the full scope of the problem. You grow up as a Black male in America, in the Bronx for example, and you think you are becoming a lawyer? Please. Culture and history have played out the way they have and have engraved themselves on our psyches. There is nothing we can do to change the past, but we must educate for the present. These third world countries are buried in Chinese & American loans and corrupted to the core, and the political figures are just as corrupt as the ones we see in the West.

I do not have all the answers, but what I do know is that ignorance is not the answer.
