If your grandfather had no balls, then how is it you exist?
Don't you think he was trying to tell you something?
My talk with nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe on #Bitcoin, deflation and AI:
Great chat!
I'm not sure what I think of Saylor's advocacy of SOV for plebs and p2p only for corporations and governments. He seems pragmatic, shrewd even, and in face of certain annihilation if the rich turn against btc, SOV usage (or conceptualization) would seem much more likely to ensure btc's survival (as it doesn't challenge the current monetary slave system).
Yet, while that approach might increase btc's chance of survival, it perhaps does it at the cost of decreasing the plebs' chance of survival. This is because they get separated from their bitcoin which is captured by the controllers of the controlling financial system. And then price manipulated, stolen via tax, confiscated, etc.
As for hodl vs spend, given the low time preference, seams reasonable to hodl for twenty years, then retire early and start to spend, wealthy enough due to the hodling, to do things you want to do - it buys you your time/freedom.
Of course, you can do both, hodl and spend. But depending of the tax implications, you might have to go live in another jurisdiction to really start spending in earnest. Perhaps this aligns with Jeff's idea of turning your back on the old slave system, and moving to the new liberating system - building on that?
If you make that much money I'm sure you can afford to employ accountants that make sure your income is offset by interest payments on debt, debt used to finance assets that appreciate faster than debt/inflation. So the plebs cheer and the rich continue to pay no tax. So it's just a ruse to placate the masses.

Well done. Impressive. Looking great. Almost impossible for most people. Hard to escape fat prison (poverty trap = fat trap). You're now a free man.
"We will defend the right to... transact free from Government Surveillance and Control" looks encouraging.
Therefore, I am not encouraged.
Government doesn't surveil and control payments. Corporations (ie private banks) do. Playing the plebs as usual.
MS is nothing more than a keylogger spyware malware system of control. You shall own nothing and be happy. Flash Ubuntu OS onto it. You're still stuck with the firmware backdoors but it's better than nothing.
Masters say that practicing zen (ie meditation) brings you to the realization that the 'you' you're referring to doesn't actually exist. The goal of zen is to find out who you really are. Let go of the idea of you (which is really a delusion) and instead, experience the real you. The real you is calm, peaceful, pretty much unflappable (equanimous).
How? Let go of judging - liking and disliking, thinking this is good, this is bad. Don't attach to these discriminations. All done through meditation (often called Training - training of the mind). When these thoughts and feeling come into your mind, let them go, and focus your mind back to your mediation object - something like your breath. Eventually, you will become master of your own mind.
As you train, remoteness can help, but monasteries can also full of things you don't like, because you can't run away from your own thoughts. So, making a remote retreat in your daily life, eg, silent 45min meditation early in the morning before others awake, can work very well.
You could just collapse all the post-boomer generations together and call it, 'the completely fucked generations' (which would make it the biggest population group).
Then subdivide that group into Bitcoiner/Nocoiner AKA Hopeful/Hopeless.
Not really.
Marketing scam. That field ain't that big. That's guys only 2" tall you know.
To me, it sound's just as awful as the crap people are churning out these days. So it saves time I suppose.
Most people don't appreciate talented musicians. Or if they do, they don't really know why they sound good compared to this AI stuff. Just like junk food tastes good to most people.

It's the height. Washing machines tend to be shorter than most humans.
I think if we all stay at home, don't go outside, rip out all microphones and cameras from devices, never connect computers to the internet, we should be fine.
All major social media platforms trending to steaming piles of shit.
Normies like steaming piles of shit.
Very hard when you have a family not cognizant of what's going on, but perhaps developing a Plan B to move to another jurisdiction is in order?
Although with the current globalist plan, you might have to look at either buying your own space station, or some sort of camper-van setup on the moon.
