It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased.

I heard this and thought nostr:nprofile1qqs2gndun24r2utk5l20tscsdprw5zttvm0qk58w8xhl2ja2kmzt7jcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94jx2a3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtc34q732 needs it.

If it’s not AI, then you’re on LinkedIn reading human NPC slop.

Despite having to drop out of the race it was a success. I don’t get as many opportunities for adventure as I used to.

I had been wondering if it had been declared dead again.

Working on a new piece — “Want to Fight the Oligarchy? Try Bitcoin”

Here’s an intro to the piece, dropping via progressivebitcoiner.org in the next couple weeks ⬇️

“…

Every progressive knows the story by now: a handful of billionaires, megacorporations, and political insiders have turned democracy into a marketplace. They buy access, write the rules, and leave the rest of us wondering whether representation still means anything at all when it seems more and more our political leaders are bought. That’s oligarchy — rule by the few, for the few, often through wealth, corporate control, or political capture.

We talk about taxing the rich, breaking up monopolies, getting money out of politics, or which political party to vote for. But few ask a deeper question — why do we still rely on the oligarchy’s money itself? What if there was another system and money that relied on rules not rulers, equal access, and no permission needed?

The banks that deny loans, the payment processors that freeze donations, the corporate platforms that track every transaction, the government bureaucrats who write the rules for how their money works, who gets to use it, and under what conditions — they’re all part of the same architecture of control.

Contrary to popular belief on the left, Bitcoin isn’t a tool for the oligarchs. It’s the first monetary system in human history that doesn’t depend on trust in elites, governments, or corporations — just open source code, math, and the same consensus rules applied to everyone who uses it. Bitcoin was created in the wake of the Great Recession, an event arguably orchestrated by corporate greed and recklessness mixed with government failure to protect consumers and bailouts for the rich. Bitcoin is the answer and response to oligarchy control.

If the goal is to dismantle unjust concentrated power and the system that rewards the elite at the expense of the rest of us, maybe it’s time progressives stop dismissing Bitcoin as a libertarian or MAGA toy and start seeing it for what it is: the people’s money. Bitcoin gives us a peaceful way to opt out of an oligarchical system built on control and inequality and to participate instead in a network that treats everyone by the same rules. This is why we say Bitcoin is the peaceful, global revolution. It’s working and here today, if we want it.

You’re absolutely right in everything you said. I just have very little faith in progressives having the ability to understand it. Props to you for trying.

Once everyone know what uptober is, uptober is canceled.

Not to sound ungrateful but as class of ‘21, I just really want to see the left side of a blow off top, not just the right.

I can one up that, I bought the top with leverage. My only defense is that I didn’t realize I was using leverage. Yes, I’m that dumb.

Watching your kids learn to ride a bike: priceless

Watching your kids learn to ride a bike you designed and built: even better

I really dislike that Asperger Syndrome was lumped into autism. When you have something as broad as “The autism spectrum” which encompasses 19 dimensions or whatever, it loses all its descriptive ability.

They are so delusional they think they are winning. They don’t understand that the more they bare their poisoned souls, the more powerful his martyrdom becomes. Thank God for freedom of speech.

A couple years ago I got back into it after several years off. It was very very humbling.

Zen, but with mosquitoes.
