Oddbean new post about login | logout A lot of Bitcoiner’s are addicted to their status as loser underdogs. We’re winning. Get used to it. You’re about to be the new wealthy elite. Prepare accordingly.
“Don’t trust. Verify.” applies here. Campaign promises are cheap. It’s bullish that we’re a pander-worthy class. It means spineless politicians will at least claim to support our interests. I don’t expect the cartel of bankers who benefit from dollar hegemony to just give up their power however.
Fair point, but the reality has fundamentally changed due to the technological breakthrough. No option but to get used to the new sound money faster than the speed of commerce.
I certainly feel like the loser underdog right now.
Are you all in? No? That might be why. 🤷♂️
I'm so cash poor I had to be a forced seller last month to pay my mortgage. Possibly why I'm depressed lol.
Do you have a job?
I am self employed and lost some clients so my income was reduced.
Time to get some more clients bid. What do you do?

Sorry to hear that. Tough line of work to be in where most people are becoming self sufficient at maintaining their own computers and or they're cheap enough that they just go buy a new one. Have you considered getting another job and being employed elsewhere? Having lost clients, surely gives you more free time to consider building a new skill or doing something else productive with that free time.
No I just need to up my game and go for bigger companies but it's very cut throat

Fr though. 10 million sats is no joke, and a lot can happen in 6 years
Been hodlin for 7 year's and still waiting on that famously wealthy part 🤑
okay so if I will be out of home and I need water I will buy a bottle of water at double price in some random place instead of wait for coming home to drink, is that you intend as "new wealthy elite"???
The term "nostrpleb" was motivation for me to make my own relay and host my own domain. I knew I wasn't a pleb. nostrplebs is however, why I originally came on board. So many thanks to @Derek Ross The new wealthy elite are all welcome at my cyber citadel happytavern.
"You’re about to be the new wealthy elite." This is not why we bitcoin GFY
You don’t get to tell me or anyone else why I bitcoin. Ok champ? GFY
If all you want to do is be what is already the problem your not fixing anything GFY
+1 NGU "Bitcoiners" only want increased purchasing power and will sell out bitcoins censorship resistance to get it. they are misguided idiots.
NGU increases censorship resistance. It's all part of the game theory. You sir, are the one misguided.
you're just repeating stuff you've read online. there is no direct corollation between NGU and censorship resistance. one metric is a fiat measurement of buying power. largely driven by speculative investment by degens. the other metric is a complex matrix of technical and social factors. many of those factors are *against* censorship resistance when number goes up. Sorry nuanced argument on social media. won't happen again.
Lol I'm not repeating anything I read online... It's simple game theory. If you don't get it or didn't understand, I don't have time to explain it to you. Sorry.
tell me you read "the bitcoin standard" and stopped there without telling me...
Hfsp
Yes you will
Stay mad peasant

If you were coaching a beginner, how would you instruct them to 'prepare accordingly'?
Stack as many sats as possible. Tell as few normal people as possible. Spend as little as possible. Make as many bitcoin friends as possible. Learn as much as possible. Start thinking seriously about security.
What’s your current top 3 security things to do?
Gained 5k sats in one day by playing games, felt good to gain that many.
