Do you believe Donald Trump is the correct choice for President?

Yay or nay? 👇

(I know we all don't vote)

It's also simply the fact that men who don't value women won't be inclined to protect them. Why should he? She's not special to him.

The mere willingness to protect is half of the goal. Someone who looks like Rambo and has an arsenal at home, but doesn't love you, is more of a danger to you than a benefit.

It usually does, tho.

Simply being able to live in a low-crime neighborhood in a well-built house with safe transport and having good health care and healthy food already solves for most danger.

One of the things "beta males" excel at is "collective security". Pooling resources and effort to create a safe environment.

Protective men are not harmless, by very definition.

Don't know why you see a conflict there. He shouldn't be smacking his wife and kids around, to prove his bonafides.

Unpopular opinion

I am a user of Lightning, Bitcoin onchain and Liquid.

The routing fees on Ligtning are in some cases becoming horrible, especially on certain LSPs.

Lightning is fine to pay 100 sats, but to pay 100000 sats it already becomes much cheaper Liquid in many cases.

Fuck and it's so easy to use Liquid, no worries about channels, no worries about channel backups, no worries about incoming liquidity. Yes, it is federated and fedimint too, you have to accept certain tradeoffs.

I love Liquid network, I think it is tremendously undervalued.

Men like to talk about how some male behavior like being kind, protective, doting, and generous is "beta", but look at which men have wives and kids.

Turns out, evolution favors those "betas".

If you tell people: "Bitcoin is more than just digital gold!"

But you only hodl it like digital gold then your actions don't align with your words.

Actions speak louder than words.

Use your Bitcoin.

I'd argue that sometimes the education makes them an idiot. I've seen too many smart people go to college and come home an idiot who can do nothing but parrot authority.

What you are telling me is that you don't want romantic love because you think it is silly and imprudent, or even Satanic.

Okay, but then, you will get the woman that suits you. Someone very prudent and dispassionate.

To each his own.

Romantic Love goes counter to Christian Love, God wants us to be Prudent and not let ourselves be swept away by Passion (not to be dismissive of Passion). God wants us to have Temperance and have self-restraint.

It is Virtuous to not be impulsive, not to be naïve. There are plenty of women who were naïve and gave away their virginity outside of marriage.

Plenty of men give in to their impulsive nature to commit adulteries and murder.

I think man is designed in God's image and He made young men impulsive, on purpose. Just as He made young women naive, on purpose.

I think the older people who love such a young person are charged with giving counsel, but we shouldn't try to make them jaded or fearful. That damages their ability to pair-bond.

I'm just saying that this sort of insane emotional rush is what cements romantic love, that it is invariably initialized by the male (younger men, who are impulsive), and that wealthier men find it more difficult to produce because they usually value the risk higher than the reward.

Some men hardly have any money, but they've become corrupted by other things, like promiscuity, hatred, addiction, or bitterness. They also find it difficult to produce.

It is what it is.

Life wears us down. Our possessions tie us down.

Its important to understand the characteristics that make Money. They determine "why" it should be money, not "what" is money.

Making the arguments for Money to be a matter of Thymology (Psychology, Sociology, History) rather than Praxeology (Economics Proper)

#Bitcoin has all the characteristics of what should be money, it is not Money to the vast majority of the world at the moment.

If you look at history, money was always scarce: Sea Shells (Cowry), Rocks (Ray), #Gold, Cigarettes (Prison).

Every time they lost their scarcity or their superiority, they also lost their quality as money.

#Bitcoin isn’t the crazy experiment here, fiat money is.

I married him because he approached me as if he were completely sure and I got overwhelmed by his confidence.

That's what it is, to be swept off your feet. The stuff of every romance novel and the tale every happily-married woman will trot out for anyone willing to sit still for long enough to hear it.

Because she knows that she is living the dream.

I am his life's work.

You don't "have" to disclose anything.

You cannot make a deep emotional connection with her, if you initially engage under a cloud of mistrust and a fear of losing what you really love (your money).
