Adventure and life enthusiast. Time respecter. Credible information seeker. I create value by building nice things in the physical world. Bitcoin and freedom maximalist. P2P. Agorism. Value-for-value. Sovereignty. Rules without rulers. Personal responsibility. Fixing the money -> ends central banks

Hahahah I love this one.

If your dad busted while on gas station dick pills that’s what made them autistic 😂😂😂😂

The tenderloin in sf is absolutely insane.

“Remember when you were young? You shined like the sun.”

One of the best songs ever made.

Should be the other way around. Blue pill is Tylenol, red pill is truth

It’s so much easier to rack up debt though 😂 I have a feeling most will get rekt taking the easy way out (as is tradition)

It is funny to watch Tether try to graft themselves onto the Lightning Network.

From their perspective it makes sense: Lightning is the most efficient, lowest-cost settlement rail in existence, and Bitcoin has already done the hard work of building it out.

If they can use Lightning to move their IOUs around, they can piggyback on the credibility of Bitcoin while preserving their own centralized power.

But the whole thing misses the deeper point.

Lightning is not just a network of payment channels; it is a network of conviction.

Bitcoiners run routing nodes not because they expect to get rich on tiny transaction fees, but because they believe in the mission.

So they don’t run their nodes with an economically viable model, most of them will be operating at a loss.

Every sat they forward means that they are expanding the reach of sound money.

That sense of participation, that alignment with a cause larger than themselves, is what makes the infrastructure resilient.

Try substituting a dollar proxy for that mission, and the ethos evaporates.

No Bitcoiner wakes up eager to donate liquidity and bandwidth to make Tether stronger.

Anyone operating a node that carries Tether will demand higher fees.

The difference is structural: Bitcoin routing is subsidized by belief, while token routing will always be mercenary.

This is why stablecoins will never truly compete with sats on Lightning.

They may succeed at moving volume for a time, but they will never summon a volunteer army.

Bitcoin nodes are happy to give because they are defending the hardest money the world has ever seen.

Token nodes will only give if they are paid, and they will want paying well.

That asymmetry ensures that Lightning will always be cheaper, more reliable, and more resilient for Bitcoin than for any imitation that tries to ride its rails.

The same thing has been seen with peer to peer network of Bitcoin to cash transfers.

Bitcoiners are happy to trade at spot, while anyone facilitating USDT trades are asking for a fee to complete a deal.

Good note, I enjoyed it and agree. I think the one element you left out is that bitcoiner’s also realize that a small number of sats will gain muchas purchasing power over time.

A few thousand sats for the cost and trouble of running a Lightning node is a large net loss today but in a decade that may actually turn out to be a worthwhile sum. Compound continued routing revenues over that decade and the worthiness of running the node compounds.

I love that about NGU. It changes things for those who see it and have conviction it will continue.

I’ve waited more than week wiring money to China. No clue where the money was and no assurances it would arrive.

Bitcoin is 1000x better than international wires just from a functionality standpoint.

Non standard intl banking made me so bullish on corn.

The eye problems are the result of eating the wrong foods and pseudo-foods.

It might help a little 😂

That is impressive.

In regard to the sun, same. I’m fair skinned and used to burn bad and getting tan was hard. Since I quit seed oils and upped my meat consumption my skin is 10x as resilient toward the sun. Spent time in Argentina, Greece and Mexico in the summer with no sun screen and NO problems.

The transformation I experienced in my late 30s by going carnivore and quitting seed oils had been remarkable. Far exceeded my expectations.

I’ve never been big on updating my node. But the unfortunate reality is that just a small percentage of core 30 nodes is all it takes. For me it’s best to accept that it’s going to happen and move forward.

In no way does this change break Bitcoin, hurt adoption or endanger any participant in the Network. It’s noise. That’s my position after study.

Keep speaking your mind though different perspectives is part of why Bitcoin is so resilient.

The official 9/11 narrative is asinine. So many inconsistencies and impossibilities. Never forget.

My grandma has a house full of museum quality antiques. Her husband (my grandpa) was a very successful entrepreneur and retired in the 70s. He took up garage sales as a hobby and passion and literally filled a small warehouse with antiques over the years. He found so many treasures my grandma made him start an antique store to get rid of some of his inventory.

The stuff they kept was the cream of the crop. My grandma has given me a lot over the years, anything I’m interested in. Coming from a treasure family rules.

This guy knows. As an experienced mechanic said to me not long ago: “a toyota isn’t a Toyota anymore. A Honda isn’t a Honda anymore”.

Car “brands” that once were good are shit now. They’re affinity scams.

I personally only drive diesels and the newest vehicle I’ll buy is a 2015. If it’s a “newer” diesel I will get the EGR removed.

I love VW and without a doubt the best vehicle I’ve owned was a 2005 Jetta TDI. But I understand owning an older vehicle isn’t for everyone and comes with its own set of problems.

My dad who is also a mechanic had the best luck with a 2015 Mazda CX3. I think that platform was pretty damn good. Reliable, economical and awd. The CX5 is good too, had a GF who had the 2015 and it was good.

Excess deaths are all causes above the running average. But a running average takes into account everything, so it’s a relatively stable and accurate baseline.

There was a massive spike in excess deaths in every country with a strong correlation to mRNA per capita. Meaning that it’s very likely that mRNA caused the spike in excess deaths and the more vaccinated the country per capita, the more excess deaths they experienced in subsequent years.
