I’m not sure I can be bothered tweeting this coz I don’t want to deal with the negative pushback, but equally I do want to vent so I can sleep soundly:

if you deposit in a fiat bank, you are an unsecured creditor. you are not a victim. the real victims are those furthest from the fiat spigot, who are persistently priced out of ever accumulating capital, and whose time will be stolen *yet again* to plug the gap of fake value destroyed by this latest round of insane leverage collapsing.

the idea that it is crass to be rooting for bank failures or opposing clear-cut short-term fixes has a certain sentimental appeal but is ultimately asinine.

THE BANKS ARE ALL GOING TO FAIL.

the longer it takes, the worse it is going to be for exactly the people who are harmed by it happening now. if you really care about them, you want this out of the way as quickly as possible. but the idea you can just close your eyes and procrastinate this all away is juvenile. it is arguably even *the cause* of the problem. this could have been dealt with at any point in the past 50 years, but no. we just kept borrowing more than it is possible to repay and consuming more than it is possible to produce.

at some point people need to learn to take responsibility. ignorance is not an excuse unless you are also willing to pay the entire price yourself, which, note, nobody whining about this is. you can tell because, if they were, they wouldn’t be whining.

“but I thought I was a depositor!” <> “I don’t give a fuck what you *thought* - you were lazy and you were wrong. and you are asking the already poor and already fucked over by your ignorance to pick up the tab for it *again*. learn what is actually happening and have the balls to fix it.”

feel free to quote me to anybody you think needs to hear that.

The best time to withdraw your bitcoin from the exchange was yesterday. The second best time is right now.

lol, no. The original situation (of accidentally sending a hard drive with a Bitcoin private key on it to the dump) is real, but this is just a meme, and to my knowledge he still hasn't found the hard drive. And if he does, it'll have both Bitcoin and btrash on it, since he lost it before the hard fork.

Complaining is admission of one's subservience to a situation. It's a way of expressing dislike for it (which is understandable), while implying that they are allowing themselves to become a slave to it.

Winners are never slaves, even when they're physically shackled. They witness the same undesired situation that the losers witness, but they accept that as their starting place, and move forward from there to improve that situation. In doing so, there is no room or time for complaining.

What grown boys don't understand is that this places an immense responsibility onto a man's shoulders, to provide not only for himself, but for his wife and children as well. And if he doesn't live up to that responsibility (i.e. become a real man), and instead turns to coercion and abuse, then he forfeits that power of patriarchy over his wife.

"And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb." -Nephi, on the fall of SVB

This day is this scripture fulfilled (partially) in your ears.

Let the cruft get wiped out by the flood.

For everyone else, there's the Bitcoin ark.

Yes, truly on the brink ... 😏

Bitcoin is not the Savior Himself, but the thing preparing our hearts and minds for His return.

"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." -Isaiah 40:3

I finally got on the #[0], and *WOW* did I underestimate it! 🤯 Their app is amazing! 🤩 I didn't know there were that many Bitcoiners near me. You should start using the Orange Pill App too, if you aren't already.

Are you familiar with the classic story of the boy and the starfish?

Here's another version of the same story...😏

One day, an old man was scrolling through Twitter when he noticed a young man repeatedly explaining to 💩coiners why they should be bitcoin-only.

Replying to one of the young man's tweets, he asked, "What are you doing?"

The young man replied, "Teaching 💩coiners about sound money. It's a bear market, and rugs are getting pulled. If I don’t tell them the truth, they’ll get rekt."

"Son," the old man replied, "don't you realize there are thousands and thousands of 💩coins and millions of 💩coiners? You can’t make a difference."

After reading the old man's reply, the young man received a reply from another 💩coiner, thanking him for the information, and saying he was going to sell all his crypto for bitcoin. The young man smiled, and quote-tweeted the former 💩coiner in a reply to the old man, and tweeted:

"I made a difference for that one."

I use Bitcoin because it encourages me to lower my time preference, which makes me a better person, increases my faith in God, and improves every part of the lives of myself and my family overall.

I'm quickly running out of reasons to not move my family to El Salvador.

Yes, by every thinking individual, not by any government or other entity.

I've banned TikTok from my life. That's all that any of us should do, if we want.
