So good. I wish I would’ve seen it live.

In a waiting room starting The Mandibles, and boy is this timely.

Do you have trypophobia?

Algorithm free social media helps you regain sovereignty of your mind.

bitcoiners watching the news like

To all people of the world, your government is lying to you

An alle Menschen der Welt, eure Regierung belügt euch

إلى جميع شعوب العالم ، حكومتك تكذب عليك

對全世界人民來說，你們的政府在對你們撒謊

À tous les peuples du monde, votre gouvernement vous ment

दुनिया के सभी लोगों से, आपकी सरकार आपसे झूठ बोल रही है।

A todas las personas del mundo, su gobierno les está mintiendo

so I’ve basically given up ever arguing with normies about bitcoin coz I feel like I put in a good shift and it’s not rewarding anymore. occasionally I’ll dive back in if the idiot in question is famous enough for the audience to make it worthwhile. but for the most part my attitude is that it just doesn’t matter: we are going to win, and it doesn’t matter whether or not the high priests of fiat understand what is happening.

but I just realised something pretty hilarious. the high priests of fiat *really do think this matters* because, in their clown world, winning the argument literally is affecting reality. that’s how fiat works: whoever convinces the most, and the most important, people, gets to do what they want with the money.

it’s not about accurately reflecting reality. it’s not about capturing time or causation. it’s not about being mindful of unintended consequences. it’s entirely about *sounding* impressive.

it’s pretty fun to think about how this will play out as the collapse of fiat accelerates. my prediction is they will get louder and louder, thinking this grants more and more influence over the reality that is increasingly spiralling out of their, and anybody’s else, control.

and when they try to argue, I’ll just shrug.

What's BT?

It's so telling that bitcoiners and shitcoiners are cut from a completely different cloth.

Bitcoiners care about freedom, integrity and separating money from state.

Shitcoiners care only to get in early, pump their bags and dump for fiat to get a lambo.

The fact the vast majority of shitcoiners are absent from Nostr reinforces the view that they are just larping about decentralisation and freedom. "Where's the token?" Most of them belive that mediocre fintech is somehow magically revolutionary technology, because it has the name "decentralised" and "blockchain" in it.

And when shit hits the fan they want guard rails and regulation to save them from their own inability to take personal responsibility.

Can't wait for natural selection to filter out all of these nonsensical beliefs and behaviors.

There is something not broken yet?
