Different if it’s stuck in a 401K, that shit is doing you nothing at all. I’d 100% ape most of that into MSTR or an ETF

😆 I won’t be bothered. Will still read and still do shows. Might just not have to actually do the recording myself. Could save me some trouble honestly. I’m trying something right now that’s similar, but not regarding the reads, it’s related tho.

I don’t own any MSTR and wasn’t advising it. I’m just talking about the nature of the “issuing debt to short the dollar and buy bitcoin” strategy.

It’s always funny to me that obvious and militant conformism comes wrapped in a “be unique” package.

Also this is so perfectly the Hunger Games that I thought it was a parody at first.

Build and stack mother fuker!

No one in normie land understands how fucking powerful this is.

People spend YEARS on platforms with “revenue sharing” and “pay for listeners” who get solid engagement and have respectable audiences… but have barely a few dollars to show from it.

Truly open social with truly open money that takes all of the friction out of the experience of sharing is a total game changer. nostr:note16tztsxt8x60jytrrl6304yxpd7j9su4tmgrqhr23rn2pmqzt7pwqu4ny5x

Possible 😂

Just telling them what bitcoin is shouldn’t be a problem. Now if you tell them where you keep your keys and how much it’s worth, etc. well then they certainly might run off and go tell their kids how “cool and rich” you are (or whatever).

There are a great many number of ways in which you can talk about things without being stupid.

In other words, your child can know and understand how money works without having to go into how much cash you have and how to unlock your safe.

I can’t justify trying to stifle my kid when he notices or is interested in something because I’m scared of the world. I certainly don’t want to make him afraid of everything either. In addition I’m a very public person already, and nobody is confused about whether I have Bitcoin or not. There’s not going to be some super risky data leak because my 2 year old is hanging out with other 2 year olds that isn’t 1000x larger from 1000 other, more important, areas. And when he’s 7 or maybe 10 years old I suspect that every kid his age will know what bitcoin is and most of their parents will own some.

I feel I have to have a little perspective about the relative risks, where they are likely to originate, and what the cost of spending energy being concerned over them are.

I also just generally refuse to carry around a permanent and complete distrust of the world. Instead I focus on ensuring that I don’t cut corners on all the practical and direct ways that I protect my family and myself.

TL;DR My kid can say Bitcoin and I’m not gonna worry about it.

I’ve been working on many more of them. I just spread myself way too thin and had to restructure my workload.

I actually just wrapped up the rough edit of another 2SATS an hour ago. So you’re timing is pretty good 😂

100%

This is also why it might happen faster than we expect when things do start to shift. Because every company that does this will have people shifting what their measurement is in order to value them relative to each other.

And suddenly a subset of companies that all hold BTC, will get valued based on the delta of their BTC holdings and earnings. They will literally be in a class of their own.

Until then Microstrategy rides this train by themselves and gets an impossibly huge advantage over everyone in the market. nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m

It literally ends when stocks start getting priced and valued in BTC.

My son doesn’t say a lot with much clarity but he does say “Bitcoin” pretty damn well every time he sees me wear a shirt with the symbol on it. 😆

He knows that Bitcoin is my thing somehow, because when he sees it while doing other stuff or in his kids books with my wife he always says “da da bi coin” nostr:note1qcnr70mmwpu8wwchak3vmf88dtujkwj0td3vl58mwpgesqvecu3qfgm5pv

Credentials mean absolute dogshit now. It’s actually sad for the people who truly work their ass off to understand something and get a degree to go with it, because it’s value has been destroyed by all the people with their MAsTErS who can’t do utterly basic shit without a full set of instructions. Way too many people come out of their schooling with barely any more value to contribute above a computer because they are completely incapable without instructions for every single step. No initiative (in fact it’s taught OUT of them), no intuition or understanding of the work environment and how to make decisions, and zero desire to take responsibility for anything.

Sometimes it’s funny, but mostly it’s just sad honestly.

GM,

My son said good morning back to me for the first time today. Typically the first thing out of his mouth in the mornings is “smoooo” which means “smoothie” 😂

What was the actual tweet or comment?

Was legit thinking about this the other day and wondered the same thing 🤣

We’ve never done a show together.

I meant that's not a bad policy. I know the guys and so just trust them personally, but if you have no basis of them, their history, and what seems likely to you, then yeah that's a very prudent stance to have.

Same goes for all the software we use. In a very similar sense neither MacOS or Windows is open source. For Mac the kernel is open source because its based on Linux, but things like the user interface and graphics engine are closed source.

Jesus I was sharing a funny meme. Chill the fuck out

Ok

“I don’t think we can feel good without being in USD,”

The interest is only paid on USD balances as far as I’ve seen.

Not at all. We don’t have free markets.

It’s actually not. It’s got far more to do with the lack of satiation in our food and nutrient deficiency.

Just having food around does not make a population naturally get really fat, and what we have today isn’t “normal fat” either, it’s specifically deficiency caused by bad oils and malnourishment. It causes us to aggressively over eat in a completely unnatural way because we get 100x the calories without the base oils, so we just keep eating and having to store away oxidized seed oil fats as fast as we can because they have nothing of value in them.

I love Alby. Didn’t even know people were getting panties in a bunch about something. Got a TLDR?

Exactly, it's why they should've been paying WAY more attention to the S2GF model. It's never too late.

I haven’t seen Sicario, but I would suggest that the common thread needs to be the character motivation, or the motivation of both needs to be established early unless the entire intent is to shock and punish the audience’s idea of a “happy ending” in war (or whatever the theme is). And importantly I think you have to warn your audience toward the beginning that this world

Includes the horror of unexpected and disappointing truths. If we don’t frame the theme or world with that, it can be jarring in a way that’s not enjoyable, but simply angering.

It’s a fine line to walk to buck norms and not jar the audience out of the story. I’m super eager to read what you’ve got though. Boldness very often leads to encoring stuff regardless.

I’ll give one example though of normative trends that were changed that I think was underappreciated. And that’s World War Z.

It appears on the surface like a regular “end of the world” type movie, but the escalation when you really look at it is reversed.

Usually a big budget disaster movie starts with 1 bad guy, then they fight a dozen bad guys that are more powerful and have their first “limited encounter” with the big dog, and then it ends with the “beam of light into the sky billions of random bad guys and the hugest mega boss man” fight.

WWZ actually reversed this:

• Act 1 has the literal “global zombie hordes” and huge scale attack.

• Act 2 brings it a little more local and it’s about a single city and then a single base and operation.

• Act 3 is in a building with just a few dozen zombies with a potential resolution in the middle of them.

• Then the climax is literally the main character and a single zombie.

But at each point the stakes are raised for the survival of mankind. And the final, single zombie is the ultimate test to the theory the protagonist develops during his investigation.

As someone who loves film/story and have considered myself a filmmaker, I had a particular appreciation for that movie for how they raised the stakes and intensity specifically by scaling DOWN the fight, but changing what each conflict meant. I think it was all the more powerful because of it.

The constant need for big budget films and most fantasy-adventure narratives to scale up every battle, I think is a crutch that actually weakens its effect more often than not.

I also didn’t say that “a bitcoin standard would humble any company trying to do something at scale.”

That is not the statement when one says “fiat unnaturally benefits companies who grow off of constantly devaluing debts.”

It doesn’t mean scale isn’t naturally more economical. It is in most cases to a certain size and with agility being the opposing pressure. But fiat **subsidizes** bigness and causes bloat and waste across the board.

I’m not just saying that “everything will be small and big isn’t possible,” I’m saying the explicitly those things that aren’t sustainable but survive because they are huge and get subsidized debt and fake prices, THOSE corporations can’t sustain themselves. There is no way to know exactly which ones they are either, it’s just an educated guess. There is no control in this experiment and can’t be.

lol I’m not reading all that 🤣

It spikes real bad for short periods every so often. Not out of the question but I don’t specifically remember it.

Happy Diffie-Hellman Day!

On November 1st, 1976, a paper was released to the world titled "New Directions in Cryptography" by Whitfield Diffie & Martin E. Hellman. Marking the first practical protocol for safely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel. Initially conceptualized by Ralph Merkle, and then actualized in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

I don't know of a good way except to call them out publicly and label them what they are.

Also important to build strong communities that refuse to accept that shit and then outlast the fools who get swindled by them.

There is no short term solution that doesn't feel like hacking at the branches, imo. But long term I think consistency of message, calling them out, and showing and reminding everyone of the outcome over and over is the only decent option on the table.

Ah, but what if you regularly GM in the afternoon to throw them off? nostr:note1vtu2la46tk029fq7m64rla5r60mltgulmwcsdnd0acgvl2mtyu3sm07s88

Once or twice at least 🤣

How is it that after all this time people still dont understand that owning #Bitcoin doesn’t mean control over the network?

It will take time to unlearn the fiat frame. Thinking that only *certain* people should own #Bitcoin or it’s in trouble is the opposite of why it exists.
