Would be hilarious if the halving and etf are both total nothing burgers and we dump 50% next year lol

A soldiers loadout costs about $50,000-$100,000 in today's dollars.

I used to believe in political incrementalism- the idea that you can change things gradually through better election outcomes.

But maybe it was also just youth, I don’t know.

After spending many years studying how the current monetary system works, studying how past debt and currency cycles ended, and based on practical realities from the past two election cycles, I dropped any notion of incrementalism, at least for the big economic things.

Incrementalism works for minority groups to gain social and political rights. Religious people to practice without interference, women to vote, gay people to marry, etc. Immigration policies. Things like that. But it doesn’t work for the financial system.

Instead, history and current affairs suggest that things generally point in the same structural financial direction, uncontested, until there is a massive fiscal crisis, geopolitical crisis, and trend change. And that is when politics becomes critical in all aspects- as chaos develops, the group that has enough power to set the next order *really* fucking matters. They either build a platform of virtue toward the next cycle, or they fall into the unfortunately common paths of communism or fascism.

And it is not just ideas that triumph, but technology too. Technology plays a big role in which ideas are even workable. Both ideas and technology are important.

So when I realized incrementalism wasn’t working, I sought out other methods.

The weaker method is just social- I try to put things out there with my platform to encourage reason, empathy, human rights, etc. Not partisan but also not necessarily moderate, but rather grounded in firm principles of virtue ethics.

The stronger method is to play some small part in building something better. Alternative money. Alternative communication methods. Either explaining and recommending them to people, or directly venture investing in companies that build on them and help improve the UX and solve new problems.

That’s my goal. I want to do whatever tiny part I can to bring about more peace, more fairness, more opportunity, more growth, and less destruction.

I'm gonna need to build a time machine and bring you back to the 90s with me. This is tew much. First Nirvana, now OJ? nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4, you're killing me, Smalls. (You won't get that one either, will you?)

so far i know, that he has a thing for gloves, likes to run and drive his car 💜

tl;dr He was an ex-football star and b-list celebrity who murdered his ex-wife and her boyfriend with a knife in a fit of jealous rage in 1994, ditched the bloody gloves, went on a slow-motion car chase across Los Angeles, was tried and acquitted because the jury was made up of idiots, and then spent the next three decades in search of the “real killer.”
