Hello again, Fren!😁

Thanks for your comprehensive response to my message! (and for the big Zap...)

Now I "get" where you're coming from a little better, and I'm sorry if I missed your emphasis on fiat. Yet, perhaps I am more optimistic when it comes to #Bitcoin in the near-term than you are?😃

"...politics are just a game designed to keep people thinking about the issues, and not what is actually causing 95% of our issues."

I couldn't agree more. The state is a counterproductive distraction from reality and it keeps almost everyone on a hamster wheel, wasting time trying to solve things politically by addressing symptoms and fighting one another. It sounds as if you and I are "in violent agreement" about many things, except perhaps a timeline.

I think my greater optimism comes from a few sources; first, observing the events of the past few years with what I believe was an entirely fabricated "covid health crisis." I think a lot of folk who were on the fence about the legitimacy of the state were awakened when they saw a coordinated effort by states around the world to coerce us into unwanted and unneeded 'vaccinations' and to force small businesses to self-destruct and to disrupt global supply chains. Though I found all those things abhorrent, I rejoice that many people have begun to see the state as the enemy it is.

In much more recent times, the collapse of sh*tcoins and their exchanges, as well as huge bank runs in the USA, accompanied by wild swings in Federal Reserve monetary policy has, I think, awakened even more. We're also seeing a large amount of Bitcoin leaving the exchanges, and I believe the recent sharp rise in BTC pricing is a strong indicator that Bitcoin is finally decoupling from the rest of the market in a significant way.

I must admit that I've been puzzled and amazed at what seems to me to be the almost magical way that inflation has been held to as low a figure as we are seeing for this long, but I can't see how the PTSB (Powers That Shouldn't Be) can possibly keep a lid on the eventuality of hyperinflation much longer?

I must also admit that their propaganda machine is almost unbelievably powerful, and that I know people who really ought to be bright enough to know better who have yet to see through the smoke and mirrors the state uses to fool us...

But I still think there is going to be a "gradually... then SUDDENLY" when we will reach a tipping point, and the true value of all assets will quite rapidly flow into Bitcoin, perhaps almost overnight. I don't know what will trigger that, but (optimistically) I think it could begin to happen rather abruptly, possibly as we approach the next halving?

In any case, my hope is ultimately in Jesus/God my creator; and in human terms, Bitcoin as sound and incorruptible money which I also see as a "God-thing" because it is based on mathematics and is designed to incentivize sound, ethical principles.

Thanks for kicking off this enjoyable conversation, and have hope, keep on orange and purple pilling folks, and as they say, "Stay Humble and Stack Sats" ...🙏😊😄

So is bluesky like #nostr but without #bitcoin / #zap integration and hashtags don’t work and there is no #[3]​ ?

What’s an easy way to find more good people to follow on Nostr? I use the Damus app.

You think he might on the verge of purchasing someone's technological breakthrough?

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

This whole Ethereum this is a really interesting idea, but why would you build its currency on top of an inferior form of money?

Reasons why I still cross-post to Twitter:

1. It’s still a good way to reach nocoiners with Bitcoin content, and even more important now (imo) with all this doge crap and environmental FUD

2. To troll Peter Schiff

We must uncover this mystery
