Oddbean new post about login | logout Bitcoiners should stop simping to any political banner or system and realize that they are a new kind of power unto themselves. It will only be with the full realization of this that peoples will start to organize the new political dynasty and possibilities for a future freed from the lies and corruption of a monetary system that is tied to the current system of party politics.
Bitcoin empowers us to break free from old political chains. Let’s build a future driven by sound money and individual freedom, not party agendas. 🫡
an added benefit to this is that we can organize across borders unlike current political parties. For example US bitcoiners with power (large business owners, orange pilled politicians etc.) can put pressure on Europe to treat their Bitcoiners properly or risk larger international consequences.
I would love this, but the lack of response from the US to the human rights abuses in the UK makes me skeptical.
it will take time but I do see a difference between what US politicians do about UK politicians mistreating their own people and what Bitcoiners do about politicians mistreating Bitcoiners. If Trump follows through with his campaign promise to free Ross, it would mark a major milestone in Bitcoiners fighting politically for our own on a national stage. It only snowballs from there.
I don't think he will. I want to be wrong on this.
to @erikcason's point, even if Trump reneges, our negotiation power keeps growing along with our understanding of how to channel it effectively. All this makes our next move far less easy to back out of.
Yes, but also its good to delay that event. There will be some event that we can't predict that will shift our consciousness. Probably in November...
95% of #bitcoin holders want fiat gains not sovereignty
I don't think so. We just need jobs and a place to build. I don't want to move to El Salvador... I think we should invade Wyoming.
Please don’t invade Wyoming 😕🫶🫂
Okay I won't.
planning to relocate there myself like the high altitude and the sparse population don't like people or the sea
That’s okay, just not massive amount of people is all. Weather is a bitch but it’s amazing. Last wild place left
The lack of sea is the big drawback, imo. Maybe we should invade Canada's west coast. Sparse population, mountains, sea, nice trees.

Let's continue the Bitcoin story. Blocksize Wars and so on. What's the current battle? Cypherpunks vs. Banks?
The Reality. Before Money, Barter was the exchange of things but was rated in Human Empathy. Money removed that Human Empathy part of the exchange, because it was not perfect Information that recorded exactly the Human Empathy part of exchange. That was Commodity Money. Since the 1970's Fiat Currency money became globally used, that further removed that Human Empathy exchange. People game system's, so that opened Pandora's Box, you can have everything at no cost. If you can game the system with no cost, you have the perfect environment for fast breeding Psychopaths to win. Empathy holds others back. Politicians from Vanity to Psychopaths can promise everything and deliver nothing. Psychopathic lawyers become heads of Government's, Councils, Mayor's and big Institutions and Non-Government Organisations etc et cetera. The nett result of the loss of exchanging Pure Human Empathy is living life backward to those who cherish the exchange of Human Empathy. As such, Gender Attacked, Family Attacked, Childhood Attacked, Religion Attacked, Property Attacked, Opinion Attacked, Home Attacked, Privacy Attacked, Health Attacked, Nature Attacked, Survival Attacked, Climate Attacked etc et cetera. Bitcoin goes right back to what I said at the start and further, it's the exchange of Pure Human Empathy before people even thought to write about how a God could do this better. If you don't think that chasing Fiat Currency is the Religion of living backwards, then my friends, your minds have gone.
"I own myself the friend to a very free system of commerce, and hold it as a truth, that commercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive and impolitic." - James Madison I don't think Bitcoiners want politicians involved. Unfortunately, we are constrained by their laws and regulations. To get those changed so we can then enjoy said future, we're stuck interfacing with that system. I don't consider that simping. I consider that fighting for the cause.
Well said 🧡🫡
it’s better to just try to get more n more folks on board with bitcoin. the more the merrier! also, imagine if any current president & therefore many more future politicians totally fall in love with bitcoin. that’s better! but they also have to be genuinely into it—not fake into it & having no idea what they’re talking about, like trump.
This is what the Network State thesis is all about. nostr:nevent1qqsd0sf6whnaznyh5ezct5j8tp3cz4h0wcphrakm53gs4xtuq2cns9spz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qhk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqxpqqqqqqzu4mhd2

I would zap you if I could.
the system can not be reformed I'm here for the revolution nostr:note16lqn5a0869xf0fj9shfywkrrs9tw7asrw8mdhfz3p2vhcq438qtqkw2xls
Simping can be form of negotiation with terorists…
The new political dynasty is already forming. It won’t look like politics at all. It is what exists here, it is what exists when people mine and code.
Beware all who identify as an "ist" who would bamboozle you with their "isms" gotta break the ism schism (Bob Marley sorta)
One step at a time. We need to win this one so we have a better chance at accomplishing this vision.
