The Conscious Contrarian challenges conventional wisdom to uncover new, more attuned principles and perspectives for navigating the future.

Is it me or are there many more spam accounts on nostr now?

nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 If the NSA/CIA decided they had to suppress the price of Bitcoin in the name of national security, how would they go about it? Do you think this is a realistic possibility?

If I was short Bitcoin I’d probably close my position right about now…

#Bitcoin is not an investment, it’s the only remaining savings tool

Bitcoin is money. Simple but profound

Not another wellbeing scam: very few things have changed my perceived health as much as reformer pilates.

Been in the UK for the last couple of weeks. Inflation here is clearly visible but it’s supposed to be much higher than US inflation…

The perceived inflation here, even in the expensive parts of London is nothing compared to what I experienced in SF and NYC in the last few years.

US numbers are clearly skewed…

Question: Do pension funds mark their bond/treasury holdings to market? If not, paying the 13% penalty for withdrawing one’s pension could be instantly profitable, even without taking into account future losses of purchasing power that these funds will incur.

Those four fools of the All In Podcast are very close to really going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

I’m astounded by how little Chamath Palihapitya actually understands about the purpose of Bitcoin despite having shilled it on CNBC multiple times.

Now it seems they are very close to understanding its inevitability.

Seems like as expected the mainstream is in the process of coming around, shown by examples like Louis CK.

It’s a beautiful irony that some members of the American establishment (Blackrock, Fidelity, etc.) are currently fighting other members of that same establishment (SEC, Fed and other regulators) over the approval of a Bitcoin ETF.

Why? The SEC is trying to protect the financial and political establishment from the risks of an increasingly powerful and incorruptible Bitcoin. At the same time, these financial institutions, with all their low time preference Fiat thinking urgently want to issue a Bitcoin ETF to sell it to their customers.

What they’re obviously not thinking about is that the Bitcoin ETF will be the Trojan horse and entry level drug for their customers to eventually break the back of the financial system they so desperately need to maintain their power.

I’m sure there will be a lot of twists and turns in this story, but it will be delightful to watch.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar buying up all these football stars has to be one of the largest burn of money in history. They are literally paying billions and these players lose almost all their value in the 2-3 years they play there. And still, no one is watching Saudi Arabian football.

Reagan was right but do you know some similarly scary words in the English language? “I’m a doctor and I’m here to help”

Been away from nostr for 3 weeks. What did i miss?

The algorithm I want is a slow one, i.e. one that allows me to check in once a week and see the most important and relevant posts from that period as well as those requiring my response. nostr:note1p06t28pjpsfjtdj0vgls48en22ssz990ydkzk6d37zt4s4hhdguqen6d30
