#Bitcoin vs FIAT

So we have anonymous email, is there anything similar but for phone numbers?! So tired of spam! 🤬😡

I hate this chart, but not because I think it’s wrong

These are the days I wish I went to college or learned a skill that didn’t require so much intensive labor. Then back to grounding myself and being grateful.

Bitcoin and nostr have been my solace this year. Came into my life when i needed it the most nostr:note1lq868daxm84esmkd904e9tmx2vln0s4e49zrnwvau5z74fs6nygq3hq4a8

So I am checking out Signal, so in order to add a contact you have to share your phone number with someone? User names are not a thing? For instance, if I wanted to connect with someone on nostr, we would have to exchange phone numbers? That kinda sucks. I guess this was more for keeping chats with IRL friends private?

His internet satellite thing is also an unworkable scam. All his genius ideas are always on the verge of changing the world, they just need more government support before they do.

Notice when actual inventions are going to change the world, their producers are too busy making them to ask anyone for money. The ICE car, airplane, or iphone did not need decades of subsidies like the electric car or his rockets to nowhere.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I’d love to hear any feed back you might have.

Went the last 6 years in Bitcoin without showing my face.

All about to come to an end.

Right when governments are cracking down.

I am not a smart man.

Or just don't go to places famous for murder

If you're in Toronto area hope to see you tomorrow at Bitdevs

In 2016 I made a bet with a coworker that Trump would win the election. I bought bitcoin with the $300 I won.

I don't know exactly why that's relevant today but I thought I'd share.

Twitter is a shitcoin
