easy peasy lemon squeezy

One year ago, I was a frequent consumer of American right-wing alternative media, like Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Steven Crowder, Tucker Carlson. I mostly agreed with most of the issues they were talking about. I was concerned about woke cancel culture and the loss of free speech. I also listened to Alan Dershowitz (life-long democrat), Redacted News, Kim Iversen, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Viva Frei and some other non-right-wing sources.

After Al-Aqsa flood on Oct 7 where Hamas successfully executed a well planned military operation in Israel, where I saw a deeply long-term and continually oppressed people finally get a modicum of revenge on the people oppressing them and also strategically capture some hostages (Israel had about 3000 Palestinian hostages at the time, so tit-for-tat) --- because I knew the context well before the event happened --- they (the American right) instead saw horrible terrorist sub-human violent people out-of-the-blue raping, incinerating and cutting heads off of babies (which I couldn't believe, so I watched many hours of videos to see what actually happened, and that was propaganda - the vast majority killed were military).

Anyhow, I couldn't stomach listening to Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson (who tweeted "Glass Gaza"), Steven Crowder or Alan Dershowitz after that (and many others) despite believing that we should try to listen to all sides, I just couldn't stomach it. And I'm consuming less social media video content overall which is a good thing. I still listen to Tucker Carlson who I haven't heard push the Zionist stuff.

But I guess I'm moving towards the left on more than just the Israel issue (or maybe I'm standing still and they are moving). What I thought I knew about immigration and culture clash I don't think I believe anymore. And this video shifted my thinking more substantially than most videos do. Many of you may disagree with this, but it will get you thinking nonetheless: https://rumble.com/v5bbf0t-uk-headed-for-civil-war-whos-behind-it-all-redacted-w-natali-and-clayton-mo.html

Historically I've felt like I was on Tommy Robinson's side, because I was on the side of free speech. But the situation is more complicated than just one political issue.

Trust the #government with #bitcoin they said 🤣

Homes are also selling for more. Possible to roll in equity from previous home to lower monthly payment on new mortgage. Unfortunately bad news for first time home buyers.

“A stable price level and a high and stable level of employment do not require or permit the total quantity of money to be kept constant or to change at a constant rate. [...] The supply of money must possess considerable elasticity.”

– F.A. Hayek: The Denationalisation of Money

After the last #Satoshi is mined, what are the macroeconomic impacts of a slowly declining #BTC supply? The purchasing power is entirely dependent upon demand. How does the system respond to system shocks/crisis? On a purely #gold standard the supply and demand are relatively stable over time because of mining feedback, e.g. the period from 1789 to 1913 when #inflation was near zero. How do we achieve price stability in a #hyperbitcoin world?
