Fix the money, fix the world. #Bitcoin

Ah. The old Hegelian dialect.

ZEC is one more attempt by the juice to steal your Bitcoin.

Don’t fall for it.

Why would Homeland Security be highlighting the ICE raids then? Wouldn’t that be counter to the objectives of the juice? Or do you think it’s all just theater and the raids are not actually as widespread as shown?

It’s no coincidence that both ivermectin and Bitcoin were created by someone named Satoshi.

Both solutions are designed to cleanse an organism of parasites.

One in living bodies and the other in economic bodies.

Just when a problem is at its peak, a solution is created.

Such is the balance of light and darkness.

What if the op return limit was increased so that images from the Epstein files could be uploaded to the blockchain?

You might be lying more than is healthy for you.

Most people think lying is harmless, just social grease or a shortcut through conflict.

I used to think that too.

But the real damage caused by lying isn’t moral. It’s structural. It’s what it does to your internal model of reality.

To be a convincing liar you have to believe your own stories. And the moment you start believing them, you compromise the part of your mind that knows what’s real. That internal compass, the one that helps you navigate the world and navigate yourself, begins to distort. Hannah Arendt warned that when lies replace truth, our ability to orient ourselves collapses. That’s the real danger.

Lying feels like control, but over time it becomes the opposite. You create a false world, and then that false world starts controlling you.

If you’ve been lying long enough, you’ve already split yourself in two: the part of you that knows the truth and the part of you performing the lie. Carl Jung would say the performer becomes a shadow self you start living inside. And if you inhabit that character long enough, you confuse their desires for your own. Eventually the performance becomes the identity, and your entire life bends around maintaining it.

The prescription is simple, but brutal. Tell the truth again.

But be warned. Truth is expensive. David Foster Wallace said the truth will set you free, but not until it is finished with you.

Telling the truth means killing the false self, and that death is painful because you’ve been identifying with that character for years. You’ve invested in them. You’ve protected them. You’ve let them run your life.

Worse, many of your relationships have bonded not with you, but with the liar, with the persona. And when you kill that persona, people will grieve it. Some will resent you. Some will leave. Some will tell you you’re not yourself anymore without realizing they never actually knew you in the first place.

People love the lie. It’s easier to love. Cleaner. More convenient.

When you start telling the truth, don’t expect applause. Expect resistance. Expect disappointment. Expect people to prefer the mask you wore over the face you’re finally revealing.

But if you stay the course, something else happens.

The world becomes solid again.

Your mind aligns with reality.

Your inner compass recalibrates.

And you stop living as a character in a story you never meant to write.

You come back to yourself.

From my personal experience, lying can also literally distort your body posture. You can make yourself “bent out of shape”, or “bend over backwards”, or “crooked” in attempts to please others with your lies. To face and confront the truth of reality allows one’s posture to be unconfined and free. The facia is the decentralized network of the body.

What if this time is different because people actually are using Bitcoin as money…

They saved it and now need to spend it due to a shit economy.

Maybe everything is working as it should and once the money printer fires up again,

Then we rip hard as those who had to spend Bitcoin begin to save it again.

In a few years, everyone’s 50 year mortgage payments will be more than their 30 year mortgage payments are currently, and the next solution will be 100 year mortgages.

The irony is that at that point, your home will only last 20 years…with regular maintenance.

Only those who stop playing this idiotic game and opt out via Bitcoin will prosper.

The rest will keep tightening the shackles of debt around their limbs.

Is the AI boom just a facade for companies/nations to covertly build out Bitcoin mining capacity?

Yeah, I wasn’t going to personally do it myself until I’d vetted it with others to see if my logic checked out and that others were also doing. I hear ya.

Somewhat unrelated. Can someone poke holes in my logic here?

If someone wanted to increase the cost basis of their Bitcoin via a wash sale, then why couldn’t you just sell your Bitcoin at a loss to your friend by claiming a low USD price but have them charge a large transaction fee to offset the reduction in the USD price of Bitcoin? And then when you buy the Bitcoin back from your friend you just reduce or eliminate the transaction fee to buy it back at the full market rate USD price?

If you wonder why it feels like we are in a Bear market is because we are

I believe I remember reading years ago that these were the remnants of gills from our ancient ancestors that originally had to breathe under water. Maybe it was bullshit, idk.

Just imagine, with digital ID every only fans girl will never be able to hide their past.

I hear ya, but this kind of disagreement has happened before and it will happen again. It’s just how it goes.

If anyone can print money out of thin air, then everyone should be able to print money out of thin air.

If everyone can print money out of thin air, then the best money will become the money that is printed the least.

What does that lead to?

Democracy is fiat.

Just like a dollar is no longer a dollar, a vote is no longer a vote.

Both systems allow for corruption without proof of work.

If I were the government and I wanted all of the non-kyc Bitcoin to show itself, then I would pump Bitcoin to over $1 million per coin to incentivize hodlers to cash out.

Create a short term incentive that “this might be your big chance to exit”.

Only those with discipline with keep hodling.

Will you resist the urge?

In the end, the greatest theft of fiat is our time.

If you talk with older generations, they grew up in times when they had much more free time and leisure.

Even when raising kids, their lives weren’t about rushing from task to task, but being present and never feeling rushed.

When will people start to value their time more than numbers on a screen?
