Shake the crowd. Most don't follow the trail. Too many just liked Laser for the adrenaline rush / doom porn effect. That's not why I'm here. Laser is for me.

The reason, therefor, we were not able to espace the Malthusian Trap of the late industrual society is because governments created a catch 22: they will pull every lever they can to 'manage' the catastrophe they created except the one lever that would accelerate resolution of the catastrophe itself: the decentralization of power and governance and the restoration of learning into the market.

This is our Tower of Babel.

Why China is not engaging in climate alarmism.

More and more I am coming to suspection that, through various avoidable factors, mankind had fallen into a late-stage industrial era #Malthusian trap of it's own making.

Propelled by industrialization, we began to consume the future unsustainable and to great excess. Fueled by credit creation, we neglected the top soil (monocropping practices), we neglected the ground water (pollution), we neglected the oceans (overfishing, pollution), and we neglected our own obligation to productivity and responsibility.

According to Malthus *and* Mises, the situation will resolve it's self either by (a) the lowering of living standards, (b) famine, pestilince, and war, (c) fertility/population controls, and finally, (d) technogical innovation that bolster the supply side of the problem.

Just like with hunter gatherers, the invention of tools in the industrial era have skewed towards the enhancement of consumption rather than securing production gains large enough to sustainably support behemoth populations and their high expectations to living standards.

I am starting to believe that we irreversibly entered the Malthusian trap some 50-60 years ago, and now are facing the reality of an accelerating Malthusian Catastrophe.

Sovereigns in the West seem to have been engaging in increasingly overt fertility/population controls, with the elimination of savings, the trans craze, and even Covid's anti fertility shots and euthanasia of both a small % of the young and old.

Billionaire philanthropists seem to be exploiting nation's desire to navigate through the Malthusian Catastrophe without revolution or collapse by launching futuristic food ventures: bug farms and lab grown meats.

The liberal world order is predictably splitting into a multi polar world order, as the consensus of societal breakdown has likely been established across nations and the Malthus gauranteed conflicts for base resources and food commence.

The good news, is that the pressure of Malthusian Catastrophes (when they don't result in lost civilizations) push mankind to remidiate the underlying factors that resulted in the Malthusian Trap to begin with.

#Bitcoin, regenerative agriculture, ancestrial living/eating, the restoration of the family unit, the dissolving of the welfare state, and the defunding of thr war machine.

We will come out of this Malthusian Catastrophe with a smaller population (in due time), but far more humble and with responsibility decentralized again into individuals, families, and townships.

Bitfinex sells it. Other shitcoin exchanges to. In terms of storage, it depends what chain USDT. I can tell you, you feel dirty going down that way because all those are shitcoin wallets and they all suck and USDT is a shitcoin on shitcoin chains. Mild exception is L-USDT using blockstream green wallet, that's kinda fine but other than that, bad UX, bad allaround ...

But considering that there's no liquidity for it anyway, all that is beside the point. Curious, do they use USDT in Costa Rica?

Trying that, yes. To no avail. Could you make it work?

Anybody using HODLHODL successfully? I’ve tried for a week now and there seems to be no liquidity

This is going to hurt. But Tim Cook got you apple guys by the balls.

I would recommend getting an android and start migrating. Use 2 phones for a while and try to reduce reliance for apple products. Until one day you can discard the apple device.
