Good enough for me
Give me 58k or give me death
Appreciate the thoughtful response. A few thoughts:
Generally agree with your assessment of where we are headed if nothing changes. Agree that a small amount of time spent on decentralized and censorship resistant protocols like bitcoin and nostr provides resilience in an increasingly fragile world.
However, in the OP you mentioned thereās no reason to pay attention to say the debate because it doesnāt matter sighting the fact that the sitting president isnāt all there and ānothings changed.ā Thatās the point Iām trying to make - things should change. Certain parts of public life are not acceptable in my opinion.
Generally I want less war, more reasonableness. Itās my right to inform myself about who may best achieve those objectives.
Also. The word politics is rooted in the Latin āpolitiā meaning public. Itās just all the things we do together. Itās how define how best to get along with one another and most importantly, it is the alternative to war. And I agree that politics is not my ultimate source of my hope - that is foolish and will result in despair because politicians (like all of us) are selfish and flawed.
The only point I meant to make is that resignation from politics entirely yields ground to whoever desires that power. And some power seekers are in fact worse than others. Therefore we should seek to empower those who would wield their authority well (even if it is the lesser of two evils which is often the case). All the while we should (as you said) become antifragile, wise, resilient through self sovereign censorship resistant protocols.
Leave me alone = donāt force me to do something
Force me to do something = me not being left alone.

Cynical libertarianism is a losing strategy
The side that wants something will always prevail against the side that wants to be left alone.
This is why Iām on nostr
It seems to me that gold and silver are likely to outperform bonds on the defensive side of portfolios. I canāt imagine holding TLT while SPY is at ATH, rates are dropping, and M2 growing.
Continue to be constructive BTC and well capitalized BTC miners for the foreseeable future.

Im assuming there is no clubhouse/spaces equivalent on Nostr yet?
All in due time I guess
NGL this Blackrock teaser on Bitcoin is really solid.

Unsurprised you read Marksās content.
Heās the man. His memo a month or so ago that talked about discouraging the use of definitives (always, never etc) in markets was such a good read.
We can prepare for a variety of outcomes, and some are more likely than others but markets are probabilistic - they often (not always surprise us!
Saw some comparisons of $COST and $NVDA yesterday saying that the relative PE ratios make $NVDA look cheap.
Ask yourself this question:
What discount rate should be applied to these investments?
Conclusion? Donāt get married to 1 metric.
Iāve played guitar since I was a kid and i largely learned by ear.
The kicker for me was that I can also sing. The ability to listen and match pitch or sing along to the radio helped a ton when I was starting out.
For guitar now, I just put a record on and play along as I learn the song. The key is that playing (and singing) is as much about listening as it is about playing (or singing)
You gotta hear it in your brain and connect that to the instrument!
Best way to learn is to pick a song you love and try to learn it just by listening. Find out what key itās in just by trying different keys as you listen - once you find it you should be able to follow if you learn some basic music theory.
Hope this helps! My work is super left brain (investment advisor) and so having a right brain outlet for relaxation is very enjoyable.

Hey Marty,
Iām wondering if you have a mining 101 primer youād recommend.
Iāve got a buddy who reached out about starting a Bitcoin mine at a hydroelectric dam his family owns in Michigan. Power should be very cheap so I figured it may pencil.
I invest in the public miners and have followed the space for a few years now but Iām by no means an expert.
Was hoping you might direct me to resources that you find helpful

Is this because of the Babylon launch you think?
Tick tock.
