Tidings of corruption and greed: Fa la la la…
As an inexperienced investor, I am trying to remain rational and keep my portfolio diversified. I consider myself to be irresponsibly long on Bitcoin. But I still feel pretty confident when Bitcoin goes to the moon, I am going to kick myself and wish I had poured an even higher percentage of my savings into bitcoin.
Great presentation-
Where to start….?
I’m trying to understand the connection that Biden made with Ukraine. I can see the argument that as a democracy we want to support other democracies…. But it seems to me that between Russia and Ukraine that Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is the underdog. But with Israel vs Gaza— while Hamas did strike with an attack, and is therefore the ‘agressor’…. I would still characterize Hamas and the Palestinians as the underdogs overall. So I’m skeptical of why Israel would need an emergency multi- billion $ rescue package from the US. IMHO, If they can’t afford a ground war in Gaza, then they should consider other options. Also— although I do support Ukraine politically, it baffles me that the US is spending $ on both of these wars when we can’t even pay our own debts/ deficits. The answer I come to is that the US military industrial complex is the main beneficiary of both, which leads me to think how horrific it is that some Americans and some American companies are benefiting from these horrific atrocities and this insane fiat clownworld is what seems to be making it all possible.
I personally am already irresponsibly long Bitcoin to quote Peter McCormack, but this just makes me want to stack sats even harder.
Have to disagree on this one… seems to me that monopolies could certainly form in a free market economy
Lack of oversight, no child-labor laws, no regulations generally = environmental pollution and no protection for workers
Struggling to articulate this idea— but If bitcoin is going up forever, then in some ways it seems quite odd that we can even “buy” it using fiat currency, doesn’t it? It’s like we’re exchanging fake money for real money.

The sage:
If there was just one thing you yourself could do that would definitely help save humanity from doom and destruction. Would you do it?
Humans:
Of course, of course I would! What is it? Tell me.., please I’ll do anything! I’m a good person. I’m ready to help save our wretched species!
The sage:
Give up social media.
Humans:
Oh no. No I couldn’t possibly. Anything but that!!
Interesting take:

Very cool very short and powerful little video about our favorite little obsession:
Is Bitcoin a giant Lotto game?
Wow- so interesting to hear a perspective that integrates detailed knowledge of the atrocities of colonialism and weaves it together with the Bitcoin freedom ethos! I’m very impressed.
Had to look that one up. Ha ha. Thanks— I’m glad to learn a new word.
We’ll government regulations claim to help prevent things like child labor and unchecked environmental pollution…. Anti trust laws, etc. If mega worldwide corporations have no checks and balances they have to answer to… they will grow in power and control faster than individual people will.
