French people in for a big surprise in a hand full of years as their tax receipts go WAY DOWN. These Elites never learn.

I'm not on either side. There are problems with both sides. Palestine being a prison is not acceptable. Israel being bombed for decades is not either.

No one has ever answered my question of why did Palestinians allow the massive spending on tunnels and bombs? So much money wasted.

Decades of this and it's clear someone has to win and someone has to lose.

100%. All roads lead to #Bitcoin eventually.

History shows 100% of fiat fails given enough time.

All is good - progress made here MUCH faster than I ever dreamed.

We are over-reacting.

#Bitcoin will win.

The fiat gamblers need an off-ramp to their addiction. Give it to them - shitcoins.

HISTORY shows when the fiat system fails (US$ and Shitcoins are ALL fiat) the hardest money of the time wins (why Gold remained on top for so long - it was the hardest money until now).

Buy Bitcoin daily (NOT the ETFs!). Move to cold storage every few grand. HODL 10+ years. So simple, but not easy.

Also, shitcoins are very well developed worldwide on the US$ shitcoin. Bitcoin L2+ is not as well developed at the shitcoins in US$. So the crypto market is an onramp to Bitcoin. I'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole, but how many of us played with SOME shitcoins in some way before understanding Bitcoin fully? (Answer: most of us)

I don’t think so. I think it all comes back to bitcoin at some point in the future. The shit coins will be a catalyst to a bitcoin standard. And quite frankly, we don’t have the tools yet on layer 2+ of bitcoin that the digital shit coin industry has on the dollar.

Oh, we were much more concerned with naming big bodies of water after countries and arguing over such things. Much more important!

Just keep in your mind, the reason Tornado Cash was targeted was because it has a HEAD.

So important to understand.

We can debate the details forever, but the administrative state can get ANYONE for ANYTHING at ANYTIME. There are 100s of thousands of laws being used against all peoples.

YOU and everyone reading this has broken some law at some time because the system has centralized power into a deflector shield for the Elites.

Not understanding this base layer will cost you a LOT of money.

Watching the Inauguration and about ready to throw up.

Everything is so fake. I'm already losing faith that Trump can do anything even BEFORE the beginning is over!

I always go back - to hoping Bitcoin fixes all this mess because I don't think humans can fix it.

Or bought off, bribed.

Can you imagine living with that your whole life?

That app follows government guidelines for diet. It's no better than what's in the cart above.

Read, "The Ancestral Diet Revolution: How Vegetable Oils and Processed Foods Destroy Our Health - and How to Recover"

Skip the app for sure. Not even worth the debate. Don't stop with this one book, it will lead you to TONS of research and other books.

They can try - but the developers will just relocate.

You can't stop a headless worldwide network. time to get a grip on reality.

As stupid as this is, it's the fiat system fighting back against #Bitcoin repricing everything.

The difference is there is no head on Bitcoin. Why do you sue? Satoshi disappearing was CRITICAL to the success of bitcoin. If you don't see that yet, you soon will (within years of trial and error or within months if you read aggressively on Bitcoin and history of money).

Well, I agree - fewer laws the freer we are.

Where we draw the guard rails will ALWAYS be a debate.

What harms others? What systems take advantage of others? How/were do you draw the line?

To your point - if we have REAL money. Which should drive REAL education and literacy (it always has) 'maybe' we fix the culture of gambling without a law against it?

What if people truly understood the impact of gambling? Would we even have a problem requiring a law?

Probably don't need any laws in a truly educated, enlightened world. So, I agree with you - but it's very hard!

Taking it to extreme. Murder does not need to be illegal in a Bitcoin world. Why? Because everyone knows it's wrong, so it never happens. Of course excluding mentally ill - but even THEN - what if real money fixes that too?

See where this goes? Sounds utopian, but maybe we are getting ready to enter a world of enlightenment like humanity has never seen?

100%. No shit coin has ANY impact on #Bitcoin.

You will NOT stop the gamblers from gambling. I refuse to join the crowd, so just watch it all for entertainment. It does make me feel for those that get sucked into the entire crypto world. But this is cultural, you won't change these people - they will die stupid/broke. Again, as you say no one is forcing them.

(BTW - I believe gambling, especially state sponsored gambling, should be illegal - as it has been in EVERY moral culture throughout civilization - gambling is a symptom of a failing culture - and a fiat disease actually)

As we know - #Bitcoin fixes this eventually.

Sadly, we ALL should expect this. It's happened over and over and over throughout history - 100's, 1000's of years. Read the book, "Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises"

In a way, I'm glad Bitcoin is just on a steady climb. When this thing busts everything is going to suffer - but 1 bitcoin will still be 1 bitcoin, that we know. Just be sure you have a couple years of cash to ride through the storm. Where the hell you keep that cash I have no idea! Maybe under the bed! lol

I still don't trust Trump. But maybe it's just the skeptic in me.

I sure hope he turns out to be a humanity changing President that could be a Bitcoin standard, I guess we are going to find out!

I also think Trump plays around a LOT with words. He has a way of keeping people off balance in what he truly thinks.

Like war. He says he will unleash hell if hostages are not returned. The next day he's ending all wars. He's excellent at playing mind games - and it absolutely works for him.

Trump has played around with these types of projects many times.

I think it’s clear he sees shit coins as a novelty item.

I believe and hope that he understands bitcoin well enough to distinguish the two. But to suggest we know that for sure right now would be stupid.

If Trump adds bitcoin as a reserve asset, I think we’ll know our answer. Once that happens, the arms race for bitcoin will be on. Read Jason Lowery‘s book, “Soft War”

The worst thing about this is it POINTS to shit coins as a way out of the US$ GRC mess instead of a #Bitcoin standard.

Excellent homework. There were a few things I did not know - the brothers being Elon's cousins, how the hell did I miss that.

The shit coin world is full of gangsters, con artists, and charlatans. Study history - the world ALWAYS has this element during rapid change. Let's see how smart Trump is - and the rest of the gang, including Musk, generally does the right thing (generally, not always).

Trust but verify EVERYTHING!

Bitcoin is a NEW MODEL to replace the old - we should all expect these type of shenanigans. Posts like yours help people understand! Thank you!

But it's also amazing how #Bitcoin and Nostr make you SO MUCH more aware of what's really happening out there!

My wife still watches the news. If my ears catch even a minute, it blows my mind the garbage coming out of the TV. Not only nonsense but complete propaganda. Can't even believe that was me 10 years ago!

REMOVE yourself from the matrix!

We welcome the Tiktok people to Nostr.

The only problem is most of them will not make it here. Do you know why? The answer is important!
