don't want to wake up at sixty-five and realise that my seventy thousand plus hours of life, working a nine-to-five, have been devalued by inflation bc some central planner has enriched himself and his mates.

Go f* yourself. #Bitcoin is insurance against government theft.

If you think all I do is stack #Bitcoin and shitpost all day, you're right.

Humans can become desensitized to various stimuli through repeated exposure, which reduces the emotional or physical response to those stimuli over time. Here are some examples:

1. Emotional or Psychological Stimuli

• Violence in Media: Repeated exposure to violent movies, video games, or news can make individuals less sensitive to real-world violence.

• Tragic News Events: Constant reporting on wars, natural disasters, or other tragedies can lead to “compassion fatigue,” where people feel emotionally numb.

• Social Criticism or Insults: Over time, people may become less affected by criticism or negative comments, especially in environments like social media.

2. Physical or Sensory Stimuli

• Loud Noises: People living near train stations, airports, or busy roads often become desensitized to the constant noise.

• Smells: Individuals working in environments with strong odors (e.g., farms, kitchens, or factories) may stop noticing the smell over time.

• Temperature Extremes: People living in extreme climates (hot deserts or cold arctic regions) adapt and may become less sensitive to discomfort.

3. Social and Interpersonal Stimuli

• Expressions of Gratitude or Compliments: Overexposure to routine phrases like “thank you” or compliments can make them feel less impactful.

• Affectionate Gestures: In close relationships, frequent displays of affection (e.g., hugs or kisses) can lose their emotional intensity if taken for granted.

• Crowds and Proximity: Urban dwellers may become desensitized to the discomfort of crowded spaces or close proximity to strangers.

4. Behavioral Stimuli

• Risk-Taking: Repeated exposure to risky activities, such as extreme sports or dangerous work environments, can reduce fear or caution.

• Addictive Behaviors: Substances like caffeine, alcohol, or drugs require higher doses for the same effect due to physiological desensitization.

5. Cultural or Ideological Stimuli

• Taboo Topics: Issues once considered shocking (e.g., controversial art or provocative speech) may feel less impactful after repeated exposure in media or discussions.

• Advertising: Constant exposure to marketing messages can make people less responsive to new advertisements or brand appeals.

6. Physiological Responses

• Pain: Chronic pain sufferers may become desensitized to certain levels of discomfort as their bodies adapt to the sensation.

• Hunger: In situations of food scarcity, individuals may become less sensitive to hunger signals.

Why It Happens:

Desensitization occurs due to habituation, a psychological process where the brain reduces its response to repetitive stimuli, allowing individuals to focus on novel or more pressing inputs. While this can help people adapt to challenging environments, it can also reduce emotional connection or awareness of important issues.

If you think Milei is the saviour of the Argentine homeland ....

- Suck the cock of the Jewish lobby

- In favour of Zelensky

- In favour of dollarisation

- Already part of the state

When he eliminates the central bank you come and call me, in any case if the dollar becomes his currency, eliminating the central bank will be a joke because in any case he will have to eliminate the Fed.

Obviously the economic situation in Argentina will improve because his economic policies are liberal, but don't expect him to save your country, he is just selling companies to the highest bidder.

Every day it becomes clearer to me that he is a neocon disguised as a libertarian.

It’s kinda crazy how covid came and went and most ppl didn’t learn a thing about tyranny, even with it right in their faces

I have yet to share my personal #Bitcoin journey, but I believe now is the right time to do so. It marks the beginning of my descent into the Bitcoin rabbit hole and, much like the Bitcoin White Paper itself, my story is closely tied to the financial crisis of 2008.

This account is deeply personal, laced with self-pity and a sense of stupidity. That's why I've kept it private and not even shared it with my closest friends, but I think it's important to share it now with you. Giving back to a community I received so much in the previous years. All too often, those who fall victim to the shortcomings of the fiat system internalize the guilt, unaware that they are being taken advantage of by a corrupt fiat system.

My parents, hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to building their own business from scratch, had little time to acquire financial education. In the early 2000s, they were advised — like many companies and individuals in Austria — to finance their company/house with a Swiss franc loan. The arrangement was complex and opaque, involving multiple loan accounts and significant commissions for both the bank and our financial advisor. My parents, trusting the system, unknowingly became entangled in a speculative gamble, exacerbated by the euro's introduction and the franc's relative strength over time. It turns out that debt in a strong currency and income in a rapidly depreciating currency have only one outcome: Default over time.

As a result of the financial crisis of 2008, the Swiss National Bank could no longer suppress the upward pressure on the franc in 2014 and the fallout was inevitable. Overnight, my family faced a substantially larger loan burden than initially anticipated, to threaten us to file bankruptcy and lose everything we worked for in the previous decade. This devastating turn of events — driven by corrupt banking practices and greedy financial advisors — left an indelible mark on me. As a young man, witnessing my parents' hard-earned savings and efforts eroded by a system they trusted was enough to cement my distrust of financial institutions forever. At this point in time I made a promise to myself: Trust no one, educate yourself and verify.

A few years later, I discovered Bitcoin. It clicked immediately. Here was a decentralized, incorruptible solution to the very problem that had caused so much pain for my family. Bitcoin represented a chance to opt out of a fiat system riddled with perverse incentives and predatory practices. My family's experience — our suffering under the weight of a corrupt financial system — motivates me to advocate for Bitcoin adoption. For this reason, I will never trade my Bitcoin for fiat currency ever, no matter the fiat price. It represents more than wealth to me; it’s a symbol of resilience and justice, a way to honor the sacrifices my parents made.

Looking back, I am almost grateful for this painful chapter of my life. It woke me up and set me on a path I might not have found otherwise. Many people experience similar losses at the hands of the fiat system without even realizing it because the theft happens incrementally, through inflation and hidden costs. Fact is, that honest, hardworking individuals are being robbed every day — second by second — by a system designed to erode their purchasing power over time. Like my parents, but more gradually.

While it’s exciting to see Bitcoin’s fiat price increase, that is not its ultimate value. Bitcoin represents so much more. And I know, many others who HODL Bitcoin not for fiat wealth but for deeply personal reasons — reasons rooted in justice, independence, and freedom. For those of us who have been wronged by the current system, Bitcoin is not just an asset, it’s a revolution for a better future.

Yours forever thankful, Carl. 🧡
