Bitcoin Is Where We Draw the Line
In a time where hell has been unleashed on earth through the internet - porn, doom scrolling, black pills, psyops, fake news, AI slop, propaganda, and more - up shows Bitcoin to deliver on the prophecy of the early Internet pioneers: Leaderless, decentralized, censorship resistant, unstoppable.
It anchors information to real world energy and effort, bridging the divide that saw digital offerings hoover up the value of physical efforts, and thereby turning our physical selves into data profiles whose purpose is to be harvested and exploited by algorithms meant to ensnare us through recommendation engine algorithms and fleece us through advertising we are psychologically unable to resist.
Bitcoin severs these and more undesirable interdependencies.
Entrepreneurs don’t need VCs who will contort their business for an exploitive exit. They need bitcoin, which will help them achieve their long term goals and reward entrepreneurs who don’t betray or exploit their clientele.
Workers, or to put it more clearly, those who provide their time, energy and creativity to an enterprise they don’t own, don’t need 401ks and IRAs, which lock up their money until retirement. They need Bitcoin which gives them sovereignty over their wealth, to spend or save when they choose.
Shareholders don’t need public markets to cash out. They need Bitcoin dividends to reward them with durable value for building durable value.
Cities don’t need taxation to maintain local public infrastructure. They need Bitcoin to attract entrepreneurs, workers, companies and shareholders who want to build value locally and globally for the long term and to live in a thriving, hopeful and valuable community.
Bitcoin will be the line in the sand drawn to say “this stops here”, whether it’s a physical boundary or a temporal one (“this stops now”). It ends the processes that fuel and feed corrupt bureaucrats, politicians, regulators , businessmen and all the parasites who add difficulty to the healthy functioning of the human race. It restores healthy functions that thrive when freedom reigns: Functions like genuine entrepreneurship; hard honest work in the service of real demands; well capitalized profitable companies; peaceful, largely crime free cities.
When people and businesses can transact freely, their incentives align to create sustainable value and ever-improving quality of life through innovation that consumers value and frequent.
When bureaucrats, lawmakers, politicians and regulators interfere with that free transacting, the incentives instead align with using regulation and law as a weapon against producers, outcompeting them by binding them in red tape instead of by offering a superior product at better prices. Bitcoin ends this.
If justice is no longer the business of government (because it is distracted in unjustly rigging the market to benefit the businesses that help it get elected) people and businesses lose the incentive to act justly.
But thanks to Bitcoin, no longer do you have to look around and shrug your shoulders saying “what can anyone do?” about the mounting problems civilization faces.
Now you can do something yourself. You can draw a line around yourself, your family, your household, your business, your idea, your passion - your life.
Yours again. Yours at last. To begin anew with all your hopes and desires restored. To pursue your real dreams, not some frivolous pursuit that marketers and celebrities have sold you. A dream where you love what you do, who you do it with, who you do it for, in common purpose with those who share or value your dream.
Dream on dreamer. And make your dreams come true by making a choice that makes dreamers’ dreams come true - by taking the freedom to get obstructions and naysayers out of the way and taking on the responsibility and work to master your craft so that you can build that which you dream of.
Timer, toner, toker, Tomer—what’s the difference?
Real bitcoiners take their time.
The best ones give their time too.
Well, I can’t really make sense of this whole thing. Just strikes me as more of the immature and irrational stuff that lacks integrity, intelligence, honesty and the like by people who lack these things themselves. It’s a black hole of distraction as far as I can tell.
Not sure what you’re referring to regarding comparing my engagement to others. If it’s that I pointed out that someone’s tweets getting zero likes means they’re not liked that wasn’t a comparison, but an evaluation.
Thanks for the follow up though.

to experience how wondrous, and terrifying, and splendid, and painful, and magical the whole thing is and to realize that whatever made it all possible is so incredibly awesome and that. you're part of it and that it probably is a lot. more than you could ever contemplate.
I agree with your assessment of season 1. Season 2 is a much more intricate story, pushing its quality way above season 1. The production quality is also top notch, and the acting is quite superb too, with every character really being much more fleshed out (Addams family macabre pun intended) than in season 1.
Wow, "Wednesday" season 2 might just be Tim Burton's greatest work, and he's done a lot of great work. If you have Netflix I very highly recommend watching this.

We have completed the first firing of the full array of Dyson engines encircling the far side of the sun. All systems are operating nominally. Within the next ten thousand years the engines will pulse for 3 to 5 months while we are on the opposite side of our planet. In that time, the course of our solar system through the galaxy will change trajectory to put us on course towards the star system we have named Hyperion Phatheon (the shining one above). It will take us about twelve million years to complete the journey.
