”I am a neutral Swiss and even in my own country I am uninterested in politics, because I am convinced that 99 per cent of politics are mere symptoms and anything but a cure for social evils. About 50 per cent of politics is definitely obnoxious inasmuch as it poisons the utterly incompetent mind of the masses. We are on guard against contagious diseases of the body, but we are exasperatingly careless when it comes to the even more dangerous collective diseases of the mind.”

And Bitcoin is the Occam’s razor of Bullshit.

We can split hairs on semantics but ultimately XRP is a security, and possibly the most promising vector for a future CBDC.

Either way, if you mix XRP or SOL into the SBR it is by definition no longer a SBR, period. That’s really all I’m saying. It’s practically tautological and yet here we are.

SBR mixed with XRP & SOL is stoopid.

But a SBR might be inevitable for any nation that wants to play game theory at the highest geopolitical level.

Sure, sure. But we can’t call it a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve if any % of it has shitcoins. That duh af

Good thing our shit & piss President will have these links to cite when the whole thing turns to shit & piss.

The Sedition Act (1798) made it a crime for American citizens to “print, utter, or publish... any false, scandalous, and malicious writing” about the government.

Mark my words. Nostr is going to be the place to be during this administration. nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh

Mixing XRP & SOL into the BSR is like adding shit & piss to the public water supply.

The only thing more important than the separation of Church and State is the separation of Money and State.

Let’s pray that the Trump & dump never happens?

ELI5 Bitcoin:

The blockchain is a magical book that always tells the truth but requires energy if you want to write a new page.

The main reason why adults have this rule for this honest book is because “money doesn’t grow on trees”.

Any book of Truth cannot be free. You must prove that you worked hard if you want to add the next page because energy is the one & only thing you can’t fake in the entire world.

This quote from Carl Jung goes HARD.

We want a bit of responsibility.

We need a bit of private property.

We long for self-sovereignty.

Is everything okay TradFi?

This 👆. Brainrot is bad enough.

EMP could easily gigafry the brain irreversibly.

I think having a smart phone on my person at all times is my hard limit when it comes to integrating or outsourcing human consciousness with technology. Even this relationship with my phone is proving to be problematic & unwieldy with intense trade offs as is.

I feel like there’s something noble & worthwhile in discovering what embodied human consciousness can accomplish without direct intervention from a chip or interference from an implant. The risk of black swans, known unknowns & unknown unknowns far outweigh any potential gains to be had.

In fact, Mother Nature may have already provided us with everything we need for peak, primal, personal evolution, self-actualization and self-transcendence.

Plants > implants

Is it just me or does the new Walmart logo look like heat seeking crosshairs ready to aggressively buttfuck the wallets of the American public?

We killed kings for less than this

The only thing waiting for the Federal Reserve under the Bitcoin Standard will be a guillotine.

if fiat money was a beer

Bitcoin is like shooting a bullet train through the pocket of every CEO ever.

Punk is not dead.

It's just undergone a silent paradigm shift ever since the concept of lasting spiritual identity took a backseat to ephemeral "political" or "ideological" or "cultural" identities.

Insofar as "punk" is defined by DIY creation, organizing, & building something independent of corporate/capitalist interests, Bitcoin is punk af.

The reason why there is no punk art anymore is because virtually no one has the time, money, or energy to produce art, let alone subversive or radical art.

Art? In this economy? When you are one healthcare bill from bankruptcy at any given moment? When inflation, greedflation, and shrinkflation is felt on a daily basis in every single last goddamn purchase?

Why fight a real class war on stage or in the street when you can just wage online culture wars from your armchair, behind a screen, like any other brainrotted slacktivist?

Why invest in a future that is haunted by guaranteed late stage fear, uncertainty, and doubt?

Everyone is too numb and dissociated and anxious and depressed and poor and disillusioned to organize and fight the machine anymore.

Everyone is too tired to even care.

And what is the machine?

Have we forgotten?

The Federal Reserve is the machine.

The Federal Reserve is not federal.

The Federal Reserve is not a reserve.

The Federal Reserve is the system.

The Federal Reserve is the Matrix.

The Federal Reserve is Moloch.

The Federal Reserve is the monster from Jekyll island.

The Federal Reserve is the final safe space for the Old World Order.

The Federal Reserve is the epitome of dusty, rusty, musty, crusty old white toxic patriarchy.

The Federal Reserve is a kafkaesque bureaucracy.

The Federal Reserve is a death panel committee.

The Federal Reserve is the Monopoly money printer.

The Federal Reserve is the self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner of the monopoly of violence.

The Federal Reserve is the bank for the military industrial complex.

The Federal Reserve is the global gatekeeper of infinite blood money.

The Federal Reserve is the empty heart at the center of this financial blackhole of Debt & Death.

But Bitcoin is hope.

Bitcoin is nonviolent resistance.

Bitcoin is FU money by the people, of the people, for the people that finally gives the people permission to fuck a system that's been fucking us without permission for far too long.
