The System is Rigged: Opt Out with Bitcoin
Nathan Smith and I break down why Bitcoin is the only fair monetary system and how central banking creates modern-day financial slavery.
“It could be easy for me to say it’s digital gold, or it’s like the best functioning money we’ve ever had — but I truly tell people, and believe myself, that Bitcoin is ethical money. That’s how I see it. It’s a solution to a very big problem that people don’t know we have.”

Just finished The Big Print!!!!
I’m a big fan of nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv …what pod or video is it that ur referencing above…I’d like to check it out
If you go the my old podcast Bitcoin With Jake and listen to the ep with Larry he talks about it there if memory serves me right
Thanx nostr:nprofile1qqs043gn588da502h36q0sffjay9m69mk28dmm805qtgzl7g6n6q0fgpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q7ck0x for the response and generous zap.
My personal current interest/rabbit hole is predominantly the delicate balance of pros and cons of the sovereigns and their proxy large financial/corporate entities entering BTC.
I hope to see more pressure on large entities like MSTR, the ETFs and various exchanges to publically list the npubs with their btc balances (ie River financial) to diminish the risk of rehypothication of assets and the heavy handed manipulation of market prices that we’ve seen for years in the precious metals market using paper claims/derivatives😳🤷🏽♂️
Having said that, I like the general topics you cover and the tone of your approach and especially (as I said before) ur apparent authenticity which reminds me a lil of Preston Pysh’s narrative style (with an accent🤔😂)…high praise imo.
Keep on doing what you do…and I’ll keep listening 🫡🌅
Interesting. I’ve loved learning from nostr:nprofile1qqsxc56ajk5xtxerf4dqspgrfa0s5elrcr80lnz9nasldq87j3zzf0cp2amhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33vsekvdrd89jxwantv348sm3jxec8z7nn0phrvmrsvehrwwrn0pmkcmrc096rsmtsxum8zvrp89a8j7t2d3ehw6rjx3u8vqg5waehxw309ahx7um5wghx77r5wghxgetk9uw8sj about the way the gold market has been manipulated, and his view of how hard that is to do with Bitcoin due to its short term volatility was a great addition to my analysis
Thanks so much for the high praise. It really means a lot to me. The key being authenticity. I am just being me, riffing about things I find interesting

Why Does the World Need Resistance Money? w/@npub1yezu4atsdgchvlyjz5efwks8n7ze2rssq674qe04m5pp8e5y32tqfdawc7
Watch the full episode with Andrew Bailey on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
"One of the reasons that I have come to love Bitcoin is because it doesn't change—that's why it gets called things like a pet rock. But since 2009 when it launched, the rules that govern the system have remained almost identical to when they started…Now, what FASB have done is they've basically changed the rules, so the way that you value a company is now different because of a sleight of hand…And it's interesting because it highlights very well how excellent Bitcoin is at what it says it is, which is a monetary network. And it's very useful for measuring value.
How far is it from here to my next-door neighbor? Well, it's a number of meters. Does a meter change over time? No. This is a commonly agreed distance that we measure things with.
Now, measuring value using dollars—what if the value of the dollar itself is changing? Well, you're suddenly using a measuring stick that is like: is it a meter and 10% this year? Or is it a meter and 6% this year? Or maybe you're somewhere that's hyper-inflating, and it's actually 2 meters is now the equivalent to a year ago. And this is very confusing, right? It really screws with the head, because what it ultimately means is that we are measuring economics with a stick that is constantly changing. And how can you make efficient economic decisions if the measuring stick is all over?"

Also, plant some real trees

Keen for that too!
Well the idea is you pass the nsec to your kids
Imagine Nostr in 120 years…
I was recently told a story by a friend, which this morning is resonating very strongly, and is helping me see the future.
This friend could remember their father taking them to a hilltop, studying the land, and pointing out the 120-year-old trees that had been planted as a wind block for the acreage. The point of the story was as the eldest son, it was their job to make long-term decisions. Someone had planted those trees in the knowledge they would never benefit from them personally.
This is true capital allocation
What if a Nostr account is the equivalent of planting a tree?
If we assume that Nostr will exist 100 years from now, all of the value that a Nostr npub/nsec creates compounds for future generations. As we know you could inherit a Twitter profile, but is that really going to be around 100 years from now? This is why we love Nostr. A protocol. A technology. An open space for all.
As an idea, it needs some thought and fleshing out. The concept of digital property rights in connection with communication is very profound. We don’t know what’s coming. But we can make bets based on rational guessing. My bet is that Nostr is the cornerstone of communications in the future.
Why not plant some digital trees?
Thank you so much for the shout out, really means a lot when people tell me they get value from this stuff. Lots more yet to come. If you have any questions., or any subjects you want me to look at, please do reach out, I’d love to learn more about you and your journey

Canary in the inflationary coal mine?
Action leads to clarity. I look forward to more people making the jump!
The old me would have said diversification is key
The more time goes by, I don’t see anything else of value to diversify into
Risk. Liquidity. Counter party. Very few assets can remotely compare
