What if we have a Black Swan to the upside this time.

This is my prediction for 2024, sometime after the false flag cyber-attack happens.

I'm grateful I had #nostr in 2023

It gave me purpose in the most despair times.

I hope I'll have it and you great #nostriches in 2024 too.

The Canadian #UBI debate is pointing at the commy paradise where the Davos crowd is leading the sheep. Make them dependend on their social system then open the doors to the invisible castle! #WEF #CBDC #Communism

Five minutes into this new show and already there's a mentally unstable tranny. 🙄

“The greatest fine art of the future, will be making a comfortable living from a small piece of land.”

— Abraham Lincoln

posting this quote again.

The day before i saw it, i had been talking to someone about how what i was trying to do with our land and the way we are living feels like trying to create art.

Vitalik just posted an updated roadmap for ETH. I am so glad Satoshi isn’t posting roadmaps on Twitter…

The Merge

The Surge

The Scourge

The Verge

The Purge

The Splurge

What kind of retard thinks this is “ultrasound money”?

Thank you Satoshi. FU ECB.

I am utterly unafraid of CBDCs.

The hysteria is mostly formed from superficial doom-circle-jerk analysis. Successful CBDCs will be a private federated ecash (or something very similar), the wisest built on the Bitcoin stack:

* Private banks will not sacrifice their power over money production via debt (as mints' status quo can continue).

* Privacy/fungibility and acquiring users overrides any Stalinist incentives.

* All we need is 1 sovereign currency producing country to use a fedi-like system built on Bitcoin, Gresham's law will do the rest.

* Building digitally native money is really fucking hard, do not underestimate the work we have done, and how governments will make use of it.

Zoom out. Post WW2 monetary order was a design choice, the next will be for apolitical money as world reserve currency, (let's not be humble) Bitcoin really is the best candidate.

Sovereign currency-producing countries, who actually do their homework, know all this. Having a native digital currency entirely interoperable with other countries' currency via its apolitical base (Bitcoin) IS the solution we are tip-toeing towards. Humanity moves toward greater liberation.

As time wears on, and liquidity pours in bitcoin, it will become stable enough to use naively. Whether people will use really depends on how poorly their CBDC treat them.

This is how hyperbitcoinisation happens.

THE SUITS STILL THINK MONEY IS CHEAP AND INFINITE. REALITY IS GOING TO HIT THEM LIKE A BAG OF BRICKS.

Perpetual War

From The Creature from Jekyll Island, 5th Edition, Chapter 11 The Rothschild Formula:

“If such a man were to survey the world around him, it is not difficult to imagine that he would come to the following conclusions which would become the prime directives of his career:

No nation can be allowed to remain militarily stronger than its adversaries, for that could lead to peace and a reduction of debt. To accomplish this balance of power, it may be necessary to finance both sides of the conflict. Unless one of the combatants is hostile to our interests and, therefore, must be destroyed, neither side should be allowed a decisive victory or defeat. While we must always proclaim the virtues of peace, the unspoken objective is perpetual war.”

Do you think the United States is involved in perpetual war?

i hope some day the nomenclature "private key" dies

from a programmer's perspective it sucks because it's PK - which do ye mean, public or private?

not only that, it's technically and semantically wrong

a secret is known only to an individual, once two people know it, it's not really a secret any more, it's private information

private is really a synonym for proprietary or "owned"

a secret is not supposed to be traded, an owned thing can have ownership transferred

not only is it better from being able to have S or SK to mean secret key and P and PK to mean public key, the very words secret and public both have the same length, 6 characters

i know that the semantics are a bit foggy since people say "trade secret" and "proprietary information" interchangeably, but i'm mainly concerned about having good names that adapt well to code

when names are clear, people's thoughts are clear

i've heard many people claim that english is so great because yada yada reasons, something about it being a whore that takes on everything, and i disagree, this leads to complex syntax

german takes 4 years to acquire where danish only takes 1 year to acquire (for babies from first words to sufficient to communicate

english may have a small core but it's ambiguity in certain things is very prone to abuse, like the lack of a second person plural, you, or you, which is it

maybe some have heard me rant about this before, but 'yall' and 'you' are good solutions for english, i tend to say you all to indicate second person plural

the ambiguity that this convention creates opens english up to creating deceptive expressions that a language with strict plural/singular second person pronouns does not have

it's like when you have two people with the same name in a group, and one of the persons is always in trouble and the other one is an outsider

the outsider's alienation increases because every time the other person is shouted at, they at first think they fucked something up and are getting outsided even more

this is also why there is nicknames

anyhow, i diverge quite a bit here, my point is simply that it's a secret key, and that's how it should be

keys should be secret to an individual, and any information known by more than one person is no longer a secret
