The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

I don't agree with the disparity of what someone is getting versus what they are worth.

I do think that these type of displays, for what shouldn't be considered a career type job, only cost these people in the long and accelerates what I commented on in my first post, AI and robotics.

Just like fast food employee strikes. Try putting in some effort and bettering yourself and get a better job. Forcing the hand that feeds will more often result in that hand going away.

the majority of congress are crooks. They just creatively find ways to launder money back to the themselves, friends and allies.

Very interesting thread on #AI and how its configured early on and can fake changes later that resolve issues and still remained configured as originally implemented.

So in other words the fake woke crap of making Vikings black as an example will revert back to how the delusional lets change real like and history to want to be will still be in effect.

Interesting thread.

Rand's idea would make heads explode.... haha

your fun is about to begin then

thats a gut issue and a lot it could probably be fixed. There are some things you are born with and are allergic to genetically.

But a lot of problems start with leaky gut, food getting places it shouldn't and your immune system seeing it and tagging it. Now when ever it sees it again you have a reaction.

Fix your gut, let your immune system reset and a lot them will probably go away.

Thought experiment.

Option # 1

Let’s say you have 10 bitcoin and we hit 2 million in the next few years.

You’re tempted so you sell it for 20 million dollars.

After taxes you’re be left with 16MM.

Which you use to comfortably generate 1.2MM a year in the tradfi markets.

So you take the money and retire.

Bitcoin crashes 60% back to 800k.

For a few years you feel like a genius. You enjoy your new rich person lifestyle.

You even buy back a few bitcoin. 2 to be exact. 20% of what you used to have.

Then bitcoin rises over the next decade to be worth 50 million per coin.

You’re worth 120 million now. And you decide to sell a little over half a coin and upgrade your lifestyle again to be able to generate an additional 2 million a year.

You’re now on paper worth 120 million, you generate 3.2 million a year (266k a month) and you’ve been largely stress free for the last decade.

Your kids will inherit roughly 1.62 bitcoin from you upon your death.

You have some level of regret about not hodling through, but you’ve been largely stress free and the mental health benefit was worth it in your mind.

Vs.

Option # 2

You have the same 10 bitcoin but you Hodl them.

Your stress levels are persistently higher.

You also decide to retire when Bitcoin hits 2 mil, but you decide to do so in bitcoin terms.

Your plan is to sell a little bitcoin as needed in order to fund your lifestyle.

This is roughly 1-3 million sats a month. Depending on bitcoin price.

Over the course of 10 years you end up selling or spending 2.4 bitcoin and are still left worth 7.6btc when bitcoin reaches 50 million.

Your net worth is 380 million.

You’ve reduced your lifestyle in bitcoin terms down to a million sats a month. (500k) or 6 million per year. You’re 46, Assuming you live until you’re 90 you will pass down 2.32 bitcoin to your kids.

You have no regrets about the way you played it, but your stress was consistently higher and there were a few scary months along the way.

Which option do you choose?

1 or 2?

For health reasons option 1 is the obvious choice. Stress is bad news, you may not see it as much when you are young but when you get older you will.

Enjoy life, bitcoin isn't your life.....

Interesting interview with Saylor. Uses Coinbase and algorithms to purchase their #MSTR #bitcoin so it doesn't move the market.

So this is what the US elected "leaders" are trying to slide into the CR.

Unbelievable all these people are crooks.

I am a measure twice, cut once kind of guy, so I usually over-research before any decisions/purchases/etc. I researched bitcoin for months (probably 500 hours because I'm semi-retired) before my first purchase - but then fully committed and never looked back...other than wishing I had started in 2014 when I first heard about bitcoin.

I managed to still get bit as I was setting up my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll and nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub. Wanted to post this in case someone else is walking the same path.

I got my Start9 ServerOne setup very easily...and boy do they make it easy. I then breezed through setting up Bitcoin Core, electrs, mempool...went ahead and also installed File Browser because I hope that allows me to use some capacity for backup of documents from our laptops. Will be interested if anything like a TimeCapsule type of backup exists since we have Macs.

Anyway, the issue(s) came with LND and AlbyHub (fyi - I installed these with the default configuration recommendations). I rate these as low-level, but it did cost real sats and resulted in a couple questions:

====

1. Somewhere along the line, I was hoping to open a lightning channel and pick the suggested Start9 HQ node. I never seemed to hit that step...although somewhere along the line, I see an open tab for that node in my browser. I wonder if it got lost when I was going through the Alby Hub setup and I saw the button to migrate funds from my existing wallet tied to my getalby address.

The end result is that sats migrated between wallets, but a huge chunk went into the fees to open the channel. I only had about 36,000 sats in the wallet, and only around14,000 sats made it across to the new wallet! The rest went into channel fees - a lot considering I primarily use to zap or make very small, irregular purchases.

Through no selection process on my part, a channel was opened with Megalith LSP instead of me being prompted to pick a node...where I intended to select Start9 HQ.

Thoughts on this one? How did it default select a channel?

====

2. After the Alby Hub setup, I now have 3 profiles showing up in my Alby Extension in Brave. A disconnect exists so that I need to use one Alby profile to get to my nostr profile that still retains my settings (like relays)...but I need to use the new Alby Hub profile to zap sats. I am hoping to reach out to Alby support to see if I can get this consolidated back to one profile without losing my nostr setting or my getalby address.

So I was researching your exact same setup and then I watched the BTC Sessions tutorial on how to set up an alby hub.

He does go through the issues you were talking about in point 1.

I ultimately decided against for now. I signed up for Primal Premium and can zap with my mobile but not on my PC(which is what I use 90% of the time).

If you watch this video it may help you out.

I did strict carnivore and it crushed my hormones.

The problem with takes like this is its all opinion and you have nothing to back up your claims. While I like the first two guys you listed and have no idea who the last two are but the one size fits all is a myth and thats what they push.

Why don't you enlighten us with the proof you have of your claims like the order of magnitude claim, curious how you came to that and I may get a kick out of it. And explain to me how their experiences and academic credibility contradicts Paul's weak shit.

Are you in a cult or something and different ways to think about things sets you off and you feel like you must defend it or you are not a good cult member?

Lets read what you got or you just may be the retarded one.

Do we need anymore proof needed the legacy media is state run media....
