These look great. Interesting snapshot of the past, can see why you were building at the time and the gaps you could fill but then the winds shifted on you again and again.

Decentralised OF is tough. It would need to be “set in motion” like Bitcoin was imo. If there’s any centralised operations behind it that is immediately where the squeeze would come and trying to moderate something like that is pointless - no-one wants to review and takedown a bunch of child porn, but no-one wants to platform it either.

But if it could be packaged in a way that the frontend was just “discovery” for profiles and the actual content behind it was separate; self-hosted, maybe as torrents, or maybe some “relay-as-a-service” thing, likely that could survive akin to how thepiratebay did (lots of whackamole).

If you do it as “a company” you’re going to be forced to moderate and/or get shutdown, likely being publicly smeared and having your reputation destroyed in the process. I wouldn’t do a site like that with adult content for that reason; it’s not worth the jackboot on your neck.

A nostr/lightning locals.com alternative is more feasible. Something where creators can be self-sovereign both with their content and their social graph. It would likely still get CP spammed but if its purpose wasn’t adult content and thus the line could be drawn for from that, it would have better odds of survival.


I can’t name the phenomenon, but it boils down to the recipient not “trusting” the messenger. And I don’t mean trust in the dictionary definition sense, I more mean the weight that the recipient ascribes to the messenger.

For some that means they will default “trust” messages from authority figures, or anyone boasting credentials. For others it is the polar opposite, they’ll default distrust messages from authority figures or credentialists. And don’t be fooled into thinking this is some big grey area where people don’t know how to categorise trusted vs untrusted messengers, it’s instinctive on an individual level, almost automatic, and it takes a lot of introspection to understand one’s own biases and why one is rejecting certain messengers whilst accepting others.

We saw this a few months ago with the Nostrich who got upset at users being pseudonymous - his mental model ascribes very little trust to messages from “unknown” entities, he would lend messages more weight if the account appeared to be a “real person” identifying themselves by name and using a pfp. He couldn’t grok from the pseudonymous users that we don’t place weight on that, that we value the substance of the message far more than the messenger and are willing to sift through shit to find it, even if it’s potentially less efficient.

I don’t know Mike but I have formed a profile of him in my mind in a year on this platform. He’s more trusting of authority figures than you or I (not hard when comparing to “ancap”).

He’s also not a Bitcoiner so he won’t grok the “connection” that Bitcoiners have on this message/messenger dichotomy - Bitcoiners have a shared experience of knowing how much effort it took to study and learn things we hold to be true, how we had to unlearn things, how we were humbled by certain learnings etc. So when other Bitcoiners speak on something with authority we tend to lend them more weight because we feel a shared sense in the proof of work which is ultimately where the “cult” rhetoric comes from.

For Mike I suspect if he is ever to come around on this topic he’ll either first have to become a Bitcoiner, or he’ll have to find a different message/messenger path from the type of figures he instinctively trusts (even if he hasn’t thought about why he trusts them).

This is top 1% of the notes that currently exist on nostr. Very thought provoking and very important IMO.


If you’ve studied network effects you’ll know the first cohort to adopt a new network is massively influential on development, there’s a form of path dependence from the userbase which isn’t immediately obvious but becomes apparent over time. Think of things like zaps and how that directionally leads devs and subsequent use cases.

There are downsides to having Bitcoiners as your bootstrap but I reckon your about 1000x more likely to succeed with them as a cohort over some degens who are only there because their views and what they want to be social about is repugnant to the vast majority of other people.

Bitcoiners don’t HAVE to be here on nostr, they want to be here. At least devs know they have a low time preference user base who will put up with some rough edges if it means users can get outside “the system” and remain self-sovereign.

This is unlike the pedos and Nazis and furries who were forced to migrate elsewhere because other places didn’t want their message on their platforms. Those are fickle bootstrap cohorts who will move on to the next place that allows more extremism than now and won’t feed back to Devs what they need to grow the place.

In 10 years, with hindsight, this will appear obvious. It’s not obvious to most people today though. We are the lucky ones who get to see this thing from the beginning. nostr:note1q7ttle22uy70jh52pchp0pyk9du08y49n5zkrk2t6wel49py2lmsh6hjua

They have been doing it in AWS as long as they’ve been doing it in retail.

“American Cannabis Company is a $2 million market cap company with annual revenue for 2022 of $18 million USD, with a net income of -$600k. They recently underwent a merger with HyperScale. Their merged-company HyperScale Nexus, a new company without any employees (per September 21 filing), entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MAU) with xFusion Digital Technologies, together with its distributor, Redington Ltd, to supply 30,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs worth $1.1 billion to Hyperscale.”

Our policy will ensure home owners protect the value of their assets with our government guaranteeing current market rate purchases on all houses in Australia.

All houses purchased will be administered by the Australian Equitable Housing Department, a new department with 50,000 staff to oversee the distribution of shelter to Aussies in need with a focus on access for First Nations people past,  present and emerging, LGBTQIA+, disabled, women, and of course immigrants.

This landmark policy will free up availability in the rental market which currently sits at a world record low 1% vacancy rate, reducing cost of living pressures on young Australians in particular, whilst facilitating a rise in overseas immigration to 1 million next year with this additional housing capacity coming online thanks to our government.

Simply present any purchase offer at your nearest licensed real estate agents who are authorised to beat that price by 10% (their commission for managing the sector), and they’ll send you government dollarydoos to your bank account for the title.

Lol thats pretty crazy.

Leftists love to point out that 🇦🇺 has relatively lower debt to GDP than other countries and survived the GFC “without austerity” which is because they don’t understand our market is in fact dominated by household debt rather than gov.

A factor of 5 on housing seems nuts but NZ is proof we can still go further!

Genuinely expecting a government house buying program at some point, like what QLD has been doing buying hotels and aged care facilities but shifted to all housing purely to prop up sellers. https://i.nostr.build/J3xl.jpg


Yes but this only works until it doesn’t. For prices to remain high new buyers are needed and we’re now at a point where no-one can afford to be a buyer so the pool of liquidity on the demand side shrinks as prices rise until there are no buyers left and then it bursts


The maths on an average Sydney house mortgage - $2,240 per week in repayments is top 10% of all households income and that would consume their entire take home pay with nothing left for food or bills.

This is not remotely sustainable.

#AUStriches are in a crazy bubble that the government will do anything to prop up rather than face an electorate of angry naive Boomers whose wealth would be erased if the bubble bursts.

I agree but it’s not how Silicon Valley VC works. It’s not how the Government with a money printer which desperately needs a “productivity miracle”, works.

They are going to firehose money at AI companies and spin a tale of how it’s helping the West outcompete China. It won’t matter how realistic their usecases are, it won’t matter that probably the best case for LLMs is just better integration into existing processes, all the vested interests will convince themselves that with enough money “AI” will actually fix everything and they will triple down.

Like your recent pod “the next big thing will look like a toy” - this capital won’t be where AGI will actually emerge from because the “experts” will be busy chasing the LLM deadend having refused to understand its limitations and the result I’m anticipating is the biggest misallocation of capital in history.


Trillions will be ploughed into LLMs looking for a moonshot “productivity miracle”, the only thing that could kick the can for the collapsing fiat economy.

AI companies will be awash with venture capital but LLMs will not birth AGI, and these companies will largely produce little of value before that bubble bursts.

Whether the guy stabbing you is doing so because he’s a mentally ill junkie who has lost his faculties or an opportunistic thug taking advantage of the breakdown of social order, is irrelevant - you’re still stabbed.

It really is this simple.

GDP is a shitcoin but replace that with what people actually mean when they throw this around - “economic growth”.

If you’re part of an economy which is beholden to Net Zero ideologues, people around you WILL go backwards as energy becomes more expensive and difficult to obtain.

If you’re part of an economy who pays lip service to the Climate Cult but in reality is trying to provide more abundant energy more cheaply, then people around you will experience economic growth and progress their quality of life.

The cultists don’t care if you suffer power outages - at least then you’re not privileged over a poor African person. Stop thinking it will sort itself out because they’re blowing so much money as to lock in a guaranteed blow up that won’t be reversible.

You need energy security now more than ever. https://i.nostr.build/JWk5.jpg

Here is a taste of the rental crisis #AUStriches are facing.

Aus used to have a ton of backpackers come through on working holiday visas. They would work in cafes and pubs and work manual labour jobs; and have to spend time out in the regions typically doing farm work for a second year on their visa.

Now these people can’t get anywhere to live when they come here, there are not enough houses available and the prices are sky high already. We will lose access to this cheap labour soon enough which will mean more Indian students and Asians to plug those gaps as only they are willing to live 10 to a house and make peanuts.

28 year old Dutch woman with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome euthanised herself.

When I was younger I was a big proponent of euthanasia. Public polls showed support in Australia of 65-75% and I thought the government should have no right to determine you must live even if you want to die.

I maintain that general sentiment but I am now very opposed to state sanctioned euthanasia the same I’m opposed to death penalty - government should not be in the business of life & death period.

Giving The State this level of power, a State which has bankrupted itself paying for welfare, is destined to lead to bad outcomes. They will mask those outcomes by having people end their lives and claiming they’re the compassionate ones when in reality they’ve created the setting for despair and despondency with their policies in the first place.

Strap the narrative to your eyeballs, what could possibly go wrong


I don’t think most people will figure it out, and the fiat millionaires will likely be the last to do so. They’re not liquid enough for Bitcoin outside of small allocations for one, and for two they know how to make money inside the system so they’re less likely to think about a parallel system as they have less need.

The majority of HODLers in 10 years won’t be Maxis, they’ll be middle class people who listened to Maxis and saw they were successful so emulated their approach - they won’t know why it works, or how, they’ll just believe NGU is real because the Maxis have been right for 25 years so they’ll copy their strategy.


MOAR POWER


Yes Bitcoin is finite - your and my time on earth is not.


I’ve been experiencing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon with power laws 😅

Gone from a curiosity to suddenly everywhere!

The models seem to fit but our understanding behind them is weak. Geoffrey West explains that oftentimes for these exponential patterns to continue what is actually happening is the underlying hits an inflection point before entering a new exponential and smoothed out this tracks the power law. Understood in this way it would be easy to see how the access to capital via ETFs could be that next step change with corporate balance sheets and nation state adoptions possibly representing future step changes to extend the power law. Once liquidity in Bitcoin approaches gold for example, it opens up new usecases and new adoption that isn’t possible today at sub $1 Trillion, all these things have to follow in a certain natural order predicated on previous cycles but it seems obvious that it will continue on this path over a 10-20 year period.

Regardless, if the power law IS true it provides some interesting anchor points for Bitcoiners to consider:

- $100k floor from the 2028 halving onwards
- $500k floor by 2035 (ie on par with Gold’s 2024 mkt cap)
- $1M is NOT happening this cycle
- $1M is likely 10 years away (circa 2033-34)
- $1M floor from 2038 onwards, by this point you can expect 1 BTC will always be minimum 7 figures of filthy fiat https://i.nostr.build/AeXo.png  nostr:note1c5xmrqkq8j03kz0zmfe5hl8cn5rdgakcy79ad5gyytndt3ve3ggsa6p04n

No artificial knees for ol’ BTC_P2P!

That’s the problem with this - the line of what it means to be human is getting blurrier.

Jehova’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, I wonder what other religions are going to say about this..


Why would you want an implant to last a lifetime? Thats not very fiat of you! Besides, you’re not going to want the 10 year old tech when the Neuralink 13.0 rolls out and your firstgen implant is end of support..

How close or far this stuff is from reality I genuinely don’t know.

But I do know we went from glasses to hearing aids to artificial joints to pacemakers to heart transplants and each evolution sped up. Implants are somewhere on the foreseeable horizon.

But what form that comes in is also unknown. Likely it will be max hyped like AI is now but the early stuff will ultimately prove limited (LLMs are basically Search Engine 2.0), it’s the waves of innovation after that on the unforeseeable horizon but that is not far away that will bring such change.

Ultimately I don’t know that humans will cope with this. Being the apex predator of the globe is kind of our deal, it’s ingrained in what we call ‘humanity’ - introducing something which is effectively a new species alongside ours is going to be existential across all aspects of society. You can tell there will be religions/ideologies that embrace it and others which reject it and that could be an enormous schism that we aren’t prepared to handle.

The status quo is grim. The very idea that the rights of individuals (including the very basic right to life) are outweighed by political considerations and attempts to say the law in way that doesn’t cause inconvenience to the perpetrator and its allies, poisons the heart.
The current way in which international law is arranged  is deeply disturbing not only because of the ineffectiveness of its institutional arrangements when great powers interests are at stake, but also in the way it discriminated between individuals when their rights are at stake (e.g, Ukraine- Gaza). We need a better system that doesn’t treat (certain) humans as numbers/ mass/ statistics, or maybe we just deserve this system.

#Cricket fans of #nostr, a star was born in the West Indies today at The Gabba.

Shamar Joseph.

Playing in his second test after taking 5 wickets on debut in Adelaide including Steve Smith with his first ball, he retired hurt 3* to end the WI second innings with a lead of 215. Batting 11, he was smashed on the toe with a nasty yorker from Mitchell Starc, 1min video of it here: https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3869319

Didn’t look like he would play today but he got a jab, and ripped through Australia taking 7/68, bowling Hazlewood to win the match by 8 runs.
https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3869466

Encourage you to watch the highlights of that second innings, it was one for the ages. Steve Smith carried his bat for 91* but left Hazlewood too exposed at the end, but Shamar Joseph’s performance was really special.
https://youtu.be/uRnizTvHRcY

Australia is ranked #1 in Tests vs Windies #8. This was their first win in Aus in nearly 30 years and it was this 24yo guy in his second test with a busted toe hurling them down at 149kph that took out the Aussies on home soil.

He showed he can bat in the first test and with a bowling performance like this, the Windies have found a new star with a hundred tests ahead of him. Very cool to get to watch a performance like this even if it’s dismantling your own team. https://i.nostr.build/oleR.jpg

The US’ best hope is that a blue state goes first, ideally California as a response to a Trump re-election, albeit I can’t see them doing so.

Because whoever goes first is going to cop the worst of the Federal Government but once one goes, there will be a flurry of secessions in short order capitalising on that sentiment and the Feds won’t be able to contain them all; it’s amazing how quick people can realise the Emperor has no clothes.

I can’t see the US sticking together in this form beyond 10 years.

The Texas GOP has rejected the petition to have Texas Republicans vote on ‘Texit’ in March - the movement for Texas to secede from the United States and reassert itself as an independent nation.

With so much hash power located in that one state with its unique self-contained grid, Texit is probably THE most important political movement in Bitcoin circles.

Afterall, they would not want to carry the US debt burden and whilst they could remain dollarised, true independence only comes when you’re out from under the thumb of the USD cabal.

I was up and down 3 times through my 20s, much larger swing from tops to bottoms than you and I have kept it off for 6 going on 7 years now. Again others I know who did similar were all health scares who internalised that being way over weight was going to cut years off their lives, successfully keeping weight off means behavioural changes not just crash dieting or exercise sprints now and then.

Wouldn’t look to the likes of Kissinger - those people have access to things you and I do not have. Not just the best doctors money can buy, but you think he’s going on a waiting list if he needs a new kidney? I doubt it..

NZ life expectancy may not have dropped but excess deaths have increased post Covid (AUS & NZ were the only two countries that had a positive correlation between lockdowns and death rates to my own chagrin - every other country showed negative correlations). They also don’t have the obesity rates of the US - sure the Māoris are fatties but they’re not meaningfully shifting national level stats whereas in the US it’s all major demographics that have seen obesity skyrocket in the past 30 years, far ahead of other nations who are all getting fatter but at slower rates.

We’re never going to get answers from “public health” about any of this given how ideological and captured they are and as your health is directly tied to your life and no-one else’s, it’s incumbent on individuals to make changes rather than wait for approved scientists who are captured and provably full of shit to come up with things.


Fat shaming indeed does not work - people only change if they want to change and shaming will not be the impetus for change.

The people I’ve seen drop weight and keep it off have all done so after health issues and to one degree or another reckoning with their own mortality.

“I’ve never met an obese 80 year old” springs to mind - if you want to live to an old age, you’re going to have to internalise this yourself.

Israel lived to 38. America’s now-declining life expectancy *surely* has to do with their obesity rates finally catching up with the population and will continue until people take this into their own hands.

How about the Feds trying to keep Texas’ border open so migrants can continue flooding in? Seems like a good reason.


Not praising anyone mate. Actions speak louder than words and I already said Milei being ineffective would be the worst result.

At least one can have hope for the actions of a libertarian - when you get a red or blue totalitarian elected you know EXACTLY what you’re gonna get and it won’t be good for anyone.


Lol, no-one who has been pushed down a rabbit hole to read Rothbard and Hayek is going to suddenly wake up and believe in the system again, that’s a one-way street.

I believe these people are not remotely impressive and are so far up their own arses, so disconnected from reality, that they believe they can control everything.

They can label libertarianism as a threat but they don’t understand how or why it is a threat, only that it is. For this reason they can’t see how they’re undermining themselves, because they’re not actually that smart.

You’re acting like these people are flawless and get everything right all the time when the reality is they’re wizards behind a curtain relying on their complex contraption to keep people occupied and distracted - the libertarians already know what’s behind the curtain, getting more of them means more people know.


He’s the President of Argentina, not your neighbourhood Libertarian - his position carries weight. I imagine they thought they could do deals with him over there which is entirely possible is happening in the background.

If “they” lost so many to libertarianism, how does platforming someone who talks about Rothbard and Hayek bring those people back into the fold? That is twisted logic. Wouldn’t it rather expose more people to those ideas who would potentially then align to libertarianism?

Not every vote in the world is rigged. If the “wrong person” wins they usually neuter them through other means.

I’d be more concerned that Milei is totally ineffective at reversing course and then libertarianism is dismissed as having not worked than writing him off as a plant.


You might be closer to this than me but far as I know the Texas GOP Chair declined the petition saying majority of signatures were invalid, and Texas Supreme Court denied the petition altogether.

It’s a movement that will persist regardless of what happens right now, far too much popular support and too much fuckery from the Feds for it to quietly go away

Ok, and how exactly do you derive that from the globalist AP article?

He just devalued the peso by 50% to align to real market rates and that inflation was already well and truly entrenched before he came in so I don’t see how this is socialist practice?


Libertarianism is already demonised in the circles of the parasite class - they know it is the only political threat to them as the “conservative” parties in every Western country are part of the same totalitarian duopoly system which pushes state power ever further into the private sphere.

Let the media portray him as unhinged - their tactics are not working like they used to and their grip on the narrative continues to erode.

Having people like Milei and even Vivek put these ideas out there shifts the overton window and helps normalise concepts which many have never previously been exposed to. If the parasites think they can spin it well good fucking luck to them, I reckon it’s just accelerating their inevitable demise.

#AUStriches Academics have lost the plot.

After claiming that 11,000+ people die annually due to vehicle emissions, a new study is claiming 63 people die in the ACT every year from wood stove emissions.

With a population of 466,813 people, that’s 1.3 deaths per capita.

Some context:

- Deaths by Assault = 0.8 per capita
- Deaths using guns = 0.88 per capita
- Deaths by Motor Vehicle = 4.3 per capita
- Deaths by Suicide = 12 per capita

Now they want us to believe that having a wood fire is super deadly?

Yet another ploy to push everything electric so they can control people.

Combination of factors.

Each unit whether it’s a tiny coin or a bullion bar has to go through multiple assays to confirm legitimacy so you can imagine the same weight in coins will take a lot longer to verify than a single bar - those costs in time/labour add up and get spread across all the units.

But then it’s also a factor of sellers not wanting to deal with small volumes. If you can make $1000 selling one bar or $1 selling one coin (just as an example) then you’re going to spend a lot more time/labour selling enough coins to make up the same profit margin as a single bar sale. It’s almost an “annoyance cost”; they’ll sell it to you but it’s a pain in the arse for them to deal with more customers and make less money so they jack up margins to compensate.

The sweet spot for them is likely those 1/2oz or 1oz coins in terms of unit profits - selling bars would be less frequent but you’d rather make up for that with a few coins than with hundreds.

Anyone who is smeared as fascist or Hitler is basically someone opposed to the globalist agenda.

The globalists at heart are Commies who in practice want International Socialism where they sit at the nexus of power under a giant umbrella of the world where they believe technological advancements can solve the shortcomings of their ideology (they believe AI can be used to feed the people for example).

The “multipolar world” is the mishmash of nationalists and libertarians and puritan Commies who don’t want to cede power to this Borg - they are actually the majority just split amongst different camps.

Dugin’s analysis of West-2 is spot on. The Globalist variety of leaders don’t actually have popular support, they hide behind captured media and institutions and pray they can shove their shit down our throats long enough without the guillotines coming back before too many wake up to their totalitarian agenda and it’s too late to reverse.

The mishmash of West-2 aren’t going to recapture power though because there is no will to unite and put their opponents in the ground so they’ll slowly, inch-by-inch, march into their digital gulags, shepherded every step of the way be the technocrats until the bastions you mention are the only bright sparks left.

The United States breaking out in civil war is the best case scenario.

If they export their war overseas, funding proxies and roping allies in to conflicts around the world, hundreds of millions of people will perish and the devastation will be incomprehensible.

If the war is internal with States seeking to leave the Union and Washington fighting to keep it together, their ability to wage and fund wars abroad will be totally diminished. No ally is going to join a conflict on US soil so casualties would be limited to the US population.

I have a sinking feeling that there is going to be a big problem with these new ETFs:

-To create additional shares of an bitcoin ETF, an authorized participant (AP) will purchase bitcoin and then exchange that bitcoin with the ETF issuer in exchange for new shares and then sell those shares on the stock market

-To delete (redeem) shares the issuer will buy shares on the market and deliver them to the ETF issue who gives them bitcoin in exchange.
           Then the AP sells the bitcoin and gets cash

The APs make money by arbitraging the difference between the price of the shares and the bitcoin (or vice versa)

If they are attempting to create shares (buying bitcoin) but there is not bitcoin on the market then no shares can be created and the share price will dislocate wildly (trade above the number of bitcoin held in the ETF)

If they are deleting shares and the price has dislocated then they will be buying back bitcoin from the issue using shares that are above NAV. (meaning they are losing money buying less bitcoin back with expensive priced shares)

This works fine for stocks where there is always enough shares on the market at the clearing house.

This might not work so well when there are UTXOs that are not interested in being brought into exchanges participating with the ETF and there is a fixed and inelastic supply.

«Mir braucht der Staat nicht unter die Arme zu greifen. Es reicht, wenn er die Finger aus meinen Taschen nimmt.»

Der libertärer Geist auf den #Bauernprotesten gewinnt meine Symphatie.

The author made money on Bitcoin in 2013-14 and appears to be salty he didn’t HODL


Exactly. I do not support government banning anything but, ok, you want to go this route, then justify why one flavour of socialism is banned and another is not only fine but is embraced by Greens and Labor supporters and politicians alike.

Make these clowns explain why the Hammer & Sickle and the raised fist which is behind 100M+ dead is a-ok in their book but the swastika and Roman salute needs a law banning it.

Australia does not have a Nazi problem, we do have a socialist & communist problem though and they’re in government making these retarded laws.


We live in a clown country. People march with hammer&sickles all the time, I’ve posted the flyers of “Marxism” conferences & “Extinction Rebellion” around Melbourne and yet they target Nazis as if they’re a problem - what is there, a couple hundred of them at most?

Why do we have hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese in this country? They were escaping the commies. The Croats & Macedonians that came in the 60s & 70s? Escaping commies.

Our pollies take issue with “national socialism” whereas a ton more Aussies have been affected by “international socialism” but the lefties in charge don’t mind that at all because they themselves are socialists and so are their disgusting supporters.


Well he’s right, Bitcoin can’t even do a flip!


You don’t only care about NGU like the ETF Boomer? What are you, some “woke Bitcoiner”? 😂


I don’t know enough about the ins and outs but I would have thought they’d have to disclose this, and more to the point, someone would have noticed a holding that large appearing on-chain - can’t see Blackrock having thousands of wallets to hide such a large stash and don’t know how they’d have done custody under the radar.


Sorry brah https://i.nostr.build/oRXQ.jpg


“I am only interested in NGU” - could you write a more stereotypical Boomer sentiment on #Bitcoin than that?


Don’t trust, verify.


Not suggesting a Zionist conspiracy, I’m suggesting a long-established pattern of the uber-wealthy people interfering in food systems under the guise of “philanthropy” even though they’re adherents of Malthusianism or the modern degrowth movement.

Whether that’s the seventh-day adventists and Kellogg’s, or the Rockefellers, or the Rothschilds, or more recently Bill Gates and the WHO, all the Billionaire degens funding fake meat, clowns forcing livestock to be vaccinated with mRNA here in Aus.

Some of it may be well intentioned, much of it is ideologically driven at minimum and some degree is outright malicious - where this all falls on the spectrum is difficult to say but the common theme is wealthy people believing they need to “fix the world” and seeing problems with poor people as their job to remediate.


Unlikely https://i.nostr.build/kkXV.jpg


Well said.

He could educate himself properly on this in about 2 hours and the cost of the hardware setup is ~0.25% of his stack - 2 hours and a fraction spent to protect that much wealth is a minuscule investment versus entrusting a third party in an industry rife with fraud and corruption.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is completely fucking up their threat modelling. Like goldbugs refusing Bitcoin because of the threat of an EMP wiping out electronics worldwide, or Climate Cultists believing the world is going to end whilst ignoring how impossible it’s going to be to live in the economy their ideology will bring about.

Get your threat modelling right people!!

Given all we know about Fiat Food, why oh why are these wealthy parasites trying to monopolise the energy our bodies need?

I’ll give you a hint: Thomas Malthus.

They put community notes on Ads, telling people it’s a scam, and then keep the Ads rolling so they continue getting paid.

Quite a racket Elon’s got going on!

You can even get fake Rolex’s on there now, I’m sure luxury brands will want to advertise right next to some WhatsApp fake watch scam ads


Instructions unclear, my dick is now stuck in the modem - send help


YouTube autoplaying Lex the Shitcoin Friedman after every video was a bad enough plague - autogenerated AI will make the platform unusable


Yeah it’s extremely poorly thought through.

If Larry Fink and Cathie Woods and Barry Silbert get rugged by Coinbase and make some community plea and/or pressure campaign, the long-term HODLers who are sitting on big stacks who Bitcoiners know and have far more respect for will be on every podcast laughing at them and they’ll get basically zero support.

So what if the Institutions lose all their corn - they can buy more, at way higher prices from a much smaller supply cap 😂


Been a while. Early Nostriches still on here enjoying the freedom tech 😊


That is what old mate doesn’t realise, the memeing would be unparalleled


Passports and iPhones are all that will survive catastrophic airline incidents


If Coinbase loses the ETF keys, are you going to agree to inflate the supply cap to make the Institutions whole?

Or would you post memes dunking on Larry Fink and laugh at the few million coin donation Brian Armstrong made to Bitcoin? https://i.nostr.build/zQaM.jpg


I induced similar when I reposted an album of #DrainTheExchange memes.


There’s been a resurgence in idiots calling #Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme lately.

This image which describes Metcalfe’s Law is my favourite rebuttal to that point. I want people to join Bitcoin because it makes the network more valuable to me by making it more valuable to everyone else.

New users aren’t marginally beneficial - they’re exponentially beneficial. This is why orangepilling matters and yes; HODLing **is** a Usecase.

The same diagrams also helps to explain why decentralisation matters and there’s next to no risk of Bitcoin being turned off by Government - good luck turning off every node in every country simultaneously!

And on the same token, why no-one is going to be able to change the supply cap of 21M - good luck getting the whole network to agree with something which is opposed to their incentives! https://i.nostr.build/yWj2.png

The top 10% of income earners pay about 51% of all income tax in Australia. Income tax makes up 39% of the Treasury’s revenue. In contrast, Corporate Tax makes up about 19% of all revenue.

Ergo the Top 10% of income earners are the highest contributors to the revenue base (~20%) even exceeding all companies taxes.

This Greens Senator would prefer #AUStriches money be redistributed and workers continue to bleed out at 45% in the top tax band.

This is why Australia is going to see a mass exodus of the productive class over the remainder of this decade - the parasites want more blood and the reward is no longer there to justify it. https://i.nostr.build/B2aD.jpg


“Smart money” in the world of your grandchildren will be families who saved in Bitcoin before it became the dominant global money.

It’s all a matter of time and perspective

They will be when there’s <500k coins on Exchanges.

When liquidity dries up is when we see what we all know is possible.


Asians are going to end up with all the corn - I’ll tell you why.

They still respect traditional family structures, “family communism”, and wealth inheritance.

If an Asian is bequeathed a wholecoin as the eldest son and told explicitly never to sell, this wealth will work for the whole family. They’ll make sure everyone is looked after whilst respecting the wishes of the ancestor not to sell.

Good luck trying to do this in the West where wealth will dissipate in 2-3 generations.

If Muslims can work their shit out and use BTC to fight riba it’s going to the the century of Asian Muslims. Indonesia will probably be the new superpower come 2100.
