Odd feeling. Packing for a fiat holiday with the kids by a pool. Only taking one #bitcoin tshirt. This feels unnatural. Plan to sit at the hotel bar for an hour alone one evening and see if I attract a pleb! :)
The average parent at the school gates has no idea anything is off. They’re accustomed to it. The submission to pain is unconditional. This is just the way it is. #bitcoin
The value of my house has fallen 64% since I bought it. #bitcoin
I’m struggling to cope with people who call #bitcoin an “investment”. I know they’re using the terms they’re familiar with, and I want to meet them where they are. And I do..
But if ever there was a question that irks me to my core, it’s.
“How’s your bitcoin investment going?”.
I absolutely love that most online versions of mainstream newspapers are placing their nonsense behind paywalls.
I must make it a habit to come to Nostr, not just something i do after Twitter..
Rachel Reeves & Kier Starmer want the economy to grow. The only way the monetary base expands is by convincing ordinary people (including executives of large firms) that it’s sensible and prudent to speculate on future economic prospects. This system is a giant confidence game. A con, a long one too. The collapse of society should not depend on the confidence of the masses to bet on their own future at the expense of their children and their ability to pay for it.
So now we have all this free speech, what are we going to do with it?. I don’t notice many of you suddenly spouting hatred and inciting violence?. Odd.
This telegram arrest has really woken me up. I felt awake already. Now I feel like I’ve just had 10 espressos in a minute.
I’ve often heard the point made that #bitcoin is a belief system. A world built on bitcoin is literally the opposite of a belief system. In the fiat world, the belief that a debt instrument can be repaid by your counterparty is literally all that maintains the illusion of productivity. The measure of productivity is so enormously skewed that it’s beyond comprehension. We no longer measure our production with any meaningful unit of account. The unit of account is simply a measure of how confident people are in their own future production. The fiat system expends by convincing ordinary people that they can afford to take on debt, because their lives will be maintainable at their current output levels, that their future production will be the same or greater than it is today. A self perpetuating ouroboros style phenomenon. Bitcoin exists whether the market participant believes in their future ability to repay or not. Will debt exist on a bitcoin standard? Likely, but only the debt shall be destroyed, not the money. Only the greedy will get carried out. There is no more noble cause. Not one of vengeance or fear, not because your neighbour has different political views than your own, but because you believe in the commonality of man and his ability to find hope amid despair. This is the fourth turning. We’ll look back on this, assuming we make it, and observe that the vast majority of people didn’t even realise what happened.
I don’t think I can express anywhere other than here how wildly bullish I am on all you people and #bitcoin
Thanks for blanking out your X tweet and forcing me back to Nostr. Pleased you did.
I keep coming back to this.
Once you understand that the debt must expand ad Infinitum, on a planet with finite resources, everything else is noise.
Love everyone on this thread, am going to stick around this time.
Wow. Primal is a massively better UX than prior incarnations. Hello #bitcoiners
Thank god I can still find plebs here!
Why is Nostr asking me to post my first post again, weird

I haven’t spent enough time on Nostr. Someone on X said it was basically a Bitcoin maxi echo chamber. Which makes me wonder why I’m not here more!
