Open loops are cognitive parasites.

Every belief you have is a little parasite that distorts your perception.

I went to the first cohort of Sovereign Engineering last year and felt a profound sense of being in the right place at the right time with the right people.

Bitcoin and nostr are not just protocols, they are a rallying point for people who know we can do better and want to contribute to something bigger than ourselves, and Sovereign Engineering is a catalyst for making that happen.

More importantly than all that though, I made friends for life.

They are effective but expensive, and a lot of caveats.

Most countries are better off with S400 and S500 units.

I just see missiles

Yeah I tend to agree.

I'm thinking that Iran's best move at this point is probably to just keep smashing Israel. According to Trump this is all about nuclear weapons, and according to Trump he just destroyed their capacity to produce nuclear weapons. So there should be no reason for any further US involvement unless their true intention was nothing to do with nuclear weapons and everything to do with Israel and the SCO.

Interesting that bitcoin went up straight after the bombing, I would have expected it to go down.

And this time it's not a war against some rag heads in caves, it's a war against an alliance of nuclear armed nations.

The Khazars are going to sink the USS Nimitz.

The first missiles to strike Iran were launched within hours of the first train to arrive in Iran from China on the newly built Xi'an to Tehran railway line, enabling direct trade and bypassing all US zones of influence.

Just came from Tallinn, Estonia. A few things that are very interesting to me:

- ex-soviet republic, less economically developed during communism than (Czecho)Slovakia, but now way more developed

- digital transformation - nice that you can apply for the eID remotely, but otherwise the systems are not too ahead to Slovakia's e-government.

- The accounting practices and principles for running a company are basically EU-standard, if you have run a company in EU, you know how it works (VAT, etc.)

- On the other hand, no bullshit - no transaction taxes, micromanagement of social / health insurance, VAT rates changing year to year. Very stable, easy, no bullshit - file invoices, tax return, you're good to go, no one bothers you

- no tax on reinvested income - basically, you only tax what you pay out as dividend on company level too. This promotes investment and development. The only other country in EU that has this is Poland, but with much stricter conditions (not for digital nomad projects).

- attracts immigrants (both people and companies) from Finland and abroad - proximity, huge tax benefits, you can basically be ~22% income taxed, many athletes or other companies (Hololife center) moving from Finland to Estonia. Cheap and high quality access to EU markets

- High quality - Tallinn has several Michelin-rated restaurants (Bratislava none), hipster specialty coffee shops (at least as good as Bratislava), sauna culture (although Bratislava is getting better)

- people are friendly, they speak many languages (common for an Estonian to speak Estonian, Russian, Finnish and English - at the same time!)

Downsides: - weather especially in winter (no sunlight)

Meanwhile in Slovakia - entrepreneurs fed up, moving abroad, too much bullshit

Do they have capital gains tax?

Nostr is an unsupervised playground.

man, the Bitcoin parallel economy is already so much better than fiat 🤡🌎.

the normies are going to be so mad at us that we didn't drag them in harder and earlier (we try!)

Need more of this

We just flipped Brazil and Taiwan.

I don't smoke but I do know that Chinese cigarettes are all total garbage.

The truck drivers all smoke a brand called double happiness though.

What was your original face before your parents were born?

Everyone else is just a slightly different version of you.

Born too late to explore earth, born too early to explore space, but born just in time to explore fucking AI slop.

It's good to see some serious competition to core even though it's ramping up in response to a non problem.

Mempool is simply a transaction marketplace, it needs to offer parity with consensus rules or it will be obsoleted by a market that does.

Developers and miners and the overwhelming majority of node runners have no hard power over the protocol anyway.

Hard power lies with the set of people who run a node AND receive bitcoin in exchange for something else.

Since we bitcoiners produce close to 0% of the products and services in the global economy, bitcoin is acting as a financial instrument within the fiat economy and NOT as an alternative to it.

Hard power over the protocol mostly lies with financial players like exchanges, ETFs, and companies like microstrategy, because they receive (and validate) the most bitcoin in exchange for something else (a bit of paper, a trading account balance, etc).

The biggest risk you can take is not taking any risks.

We just flipped the Australian Dollar 🎉

We're all just babies that have been alive for a long time

It's quite the opposite. NATO is a net consumer invading the net producers becsuse they're trying to opt out of slavery.

It's night time here, but GM nostr.
