SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS Bitcoin, 📚, & MSTR.

I think it’s really about education and adoption. If you help people & companies do that, the transition will be less rocky. But this also means understanding someone’s financial circumstances. If you tell a 75 year old retired teacher to go all in on bitcoin, you’re hurting the transition.

Stop hugging people #[0]​! My feed is now nothing but hugs! And, before you do it, no, I don’t need a 🫂! 😂

The good news about my question is the incumbent players and clueless masses seem to be such a break on the transition that bitcoiners can probably slam on the accelerator and try to transition as fast as possible and still not do damage from the speed of transition being too *fast*. We’re likely more at risk of it being too slow or in not the optimal order. On the optimal order issue, I think bitcoiners may want to think about that and try to influence that a bit to the degree that they can. In fact, such targeted decisions regarding the optimal order may just be fantastic business opportunities.

I have a slight disagreement with you on this Jeff. A fiat currency with a steady but small inflation rate may have been the best monetary technology we had prior to bitcoin. The issue I have is treating it as sacrosanct. Bitcoin is obviously better if you study it. So, with that being said, the issue becomes how to do transfer from the old system to the better system w/o blowing both up so horribly everyone ends up screwed.

I can’t believe I just zapped #[3]​ w/ 50 sats.

Jack, don’t spend those sats, currently worth .015 USD, all in one place. 😂

What a time to be alive!

With Elon’s weird substack ban I was ready to go all in on #Nostr only to find out you weirdos are posting fetish pictures of your feet🦶. 😜 #Footstr

I’ve read all three of these. (The Bible not on full, but a *lot* of it.)

I’m curious, what non bitcoin things are we all reading or have we read recently? And is there anything you’ve found that was particularly good or you’d highly recommend?

It’s like the economists who think past technological advancements and their impacts on jobs will be analogous to AI. They don’t understand exponential changes and how fast and insane that’s going to be. Especially if we ever have an artificial general intelligence.

And he legit founded SpaceX and his closet competitors are all substantially worse companies. SpaceX is a clear success & a clear W for Elon.

This is exactly what Jason Lowery proved on Bitcoin Twitter when he turned bitcoiners into his free marketing machine simply by blocking people that talked shit about him or people who liked or write supporting comments on tweets complaining about him or his blocking.

The way to have prevented that was to have enough emotional control to ignore it.

Most people don’t.

Elon is once again providing free advertising for #Nostr. #TwitterDown

He also went into children’s books because it wasn’t excluded by his Standard Oil contract. (He was in advertising prior to his career as children’s book author.)

But is an alien invasion good for #Bitcoin  or bad for Bitcoin?
