When a CBDC tries to look like #bitcoin nostr:note1ea7cg7r8dkdcqss7rggesplgsn7an4guu8uhjynxfezgtr7ah9dqck6hqx
This goldbug clearly didn’t even read the book, but that doesn’t stop him from crying the loudest and continuing to propogate “the solution” that leads to the perpetual break-down in society since time immemorial.
BTW, nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a’s book is my favorite read of the year if you haven’t noticed by now. If you’ve read it, or once you’re done, help her out, but more importantly help spread the Bitcoin message by countering idiots like this guy (review below). I think her book has the potential to reach a very broad audience and in a way that destroys many financial mantras since Bretton Woods.
I just bought mine and can't wait. Lyn will become one of the great investing legends of her time.
Conditional on further expansion of global liquidity.
Boom. My new book, Broken Money, is now available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG83QBJ6
I will formally announce it later today, so I guess this is the initial Nostr exclusive. It’s not even searchable on Amazon yet since it is still being incorporated into their wider database. But if you have that link, it is ready for purchase.
The ebook, audiobook, and other print distribution partners will be rolled out over time.
Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a wonderful project to work on, and it will hopefully educate more people about the current problems in the global monetary system and the solutions that Bitcoin has to offer people around the world.
Congratulations Lyn. Says unavailable when I visit the Amazon link 🤷♂️
New Money Matters episode is live with Dave Portnoy
From founding Barstool at 25, to selling it for $500M, to buying the company back for $1
Oh, when he turns Barstool profitable again he's putting #Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Not your shitcoin

Thanks Jack 👏👏 People probably underestimate his influence on the next cycle bull run.
You still here?
GM you legend. One day I will meet you and shake your hand. 🤝
After listening to the new ÁTTA album by Sigur Rós twice last night and once this morning, I can say that this album is elegant and beautiful and a must listen for any Sigur Rós, Muse, or Radiohead fans. Jónsi does what he does best, mixing his voice with his guitar in the most unique and moving way that I've never heard or felt in the same way from any other artist in all of my years of listening to and loving music. It's an absolute masterpiece.
This album includes two sensations sung in English, giving us some variance from the traditional Icelandic and Hopefulandic (a made up language) lyrics that you'll find in Sigur Rós songs.
I would say this album seems more of a continuation from ( ) and Takk, and less like the heavier Ágætis byrjun and Von albums.
I can't pick a favorite song. I truly do enjoy all of them and I know that I'll find myself listening to this album from beginning to end, like I've done hundreds and hundreds of times with every other album in their discography. That said, the songs that have videos on YouTube do feel a bit extra special, giving more emotional responses and allowing for listener interpretation.

Thanks Derek I'm listening now and it's great. Appreciate you sharing 🤝
Just watching Travis Haley interview Mike Jones and it's pure signal on traditional values and the erosion of society at the hands of a digital panopticon.
"We are drowning in information that isn't information."
Indeed.
Great thinking and ideas! 👍🏻 nostr:note1ud48nlhtng8254a29270s7vhttcf33382mvjz0setvlg9wwzvnzssjd5m9
Agreed however to disempower these institutions will require a mental reboot and either a populist uprising or a massive exodus of capital. Probably both. I know many bitcoiners are choosing to 'stay and fight' inside western democracies however I don't think it's achievable. You would have to majorly disrupt/infect the state based education apparatus and that is IMO a lost cause. Far better to raise up developing countries, ween them off IMF, develop sound money principles, bring in our capital, innovate and build productive assets there, create wealth and local jobs. Let the tangible effects of bitcoin wash over them. nostr:note1jyql0wqs9qu2qq8s7f6mg5dgt0hzculjzhke2e2nkcwu36za0v6qyvg3l7
I could be wrong but my gut feeling is that more bitcoiners will need to come to the realisation that to truly affect change they will need to become stateless or at least jurisdictionally fluid. Only through mass capital outflows will a bureaucracy reverse course. These public institutions are incredibly adept at self preservation and they need continual expansion of the tax base. When 90% of the labor force is geographically dependent for their livelihood then the tyrannical threats of violence around taxation is highly effective. In a truly digital world they are terrified of a highly mobile labor force.
The main reason for the successful economic rent seeking of tax accountants is due to the threat of inaccurate non compliance around income tax. This is the most obvious marketing point for CBDCs - that you no longer have to maintain payment receipts or estimate deductibles. Your tax position will be automatically calculated and deducted in real time. Govts around the world are gagging for this level of transparency into all bank accounts.
