Like nostr:npub1lxktpvp5cnq3wl5ctu2x88e30mc0ahh8v47qvzc5dmneqqjrzlkqpm5xlc, I’ve been posting my scepticism of Saylor long before Odell posted his note about Dev funding.

I don’t know either of them, have had few interactions with them on #nostr (you can login with my npub to verify) and nowhere else.

I’m not coordinating with anyone, it doesn’t seem like anyone else is to me either.

Some of us are just wired different to you. We think adversarially. We think about incentives. And our bullshit detectors don’t have off switches. This is good for #Bitcoin.

Saylor has simply been piling up a list of non-Bitcoiner things said of late and is being called out for it.

It’s a good article but it feels like she kind of glossed over who these mania undeniably grip most frequently - leftists.

Will read her book though, maybe she unpacks it in there.

The idea of cognitive discrimination doesn’t sound that far fetched to me - some see the word retarded as taboo, people who write about IQ and race have been cancelled, Western society is already built around placating “differently abled” people and what we call tall poppy syndrome here in Australia is not a phenomenon unique to us, bright people frequently get shouted down by credentialists and anointed experts even when they’re obviously fukn stupid. Could totally see it being prophetic / seized upon as the next push from the mania-prone group..

- Saylor benefits most from HODLers, not from people on a Bitcoin Standard

“Better” when considering elsewhere is always relevant and depends on what you personally value.

Without doubt there are better places with regards to cost of living, significantly better. Then the question is whether you can earn money there or have sufficient savings and that will be a challenge for a lot of young Aussies as most lack skills and don’t speak foreign languages - relocating is a bit different to backpacking.

But there will be enough who can opt out and will do so. It doesn’t take much, a few hundred thousand, a couple percent of the population, that will be enough to wreck the economy.

Most Aussies have never faced real hardship though, and still cling to their nostalgic version of this country and have outdated views of other places so it will take more pressure and time for this to happen, but it will happen.

If it makes you feel any better, the same goes for the average Aussie who would need a mortgage just to get the deposit on a house. This is completely out of reach for all bar wealthy Boomers or foreign investors.


>“To put the market’s extraordinary movements into perspective, home prices in Sydney are 25.4 per cent higher since the onset of Covid in early 2020.

>In Brisbane, they’ve surged 55 per cent on pre-pandemic levels, while in Adelaide they’re 57 per cent higher and in Perth they’re up 56 per cent.”

Considering that as a starting point, those forecasts are bleak.

Young people are going to be forced to leave which means foreign capital will be increasingly required for Boomer exit liquidity but the tax base will be fukt as these immigrants they’re piling on are net negative.

Highest entrenched inflation in the OECD plus lowest rental vacancy rate, second highest immigration, household incomes have reverted 13 years, with household debt second only to Norway.

People have been saying for ages the bubble will burst soon™. I don’t know, I just know productive people won’t want to live here and wade through this mess which will mean a really sick two tier society and it won’t be the Australian any of us remember.

If I grow to be half as wise as Thomas Sowell, I will live a blessed life.


I’ve written plenty of notes on this. I believe the US Empire is going to start dollarising vassal states as a means of spreading inflation and effectively growing the tax base - if you want to be under the US Security umbrella, that will be the price. Because BRICS is going to split off and form its own orbit and BTC will be the wedge between them for nations/people which don’t want to be all in either polarity - that’s just going to eat away at both slowly over time.

There is also a chance the US tries to peg the dollar to Bitcoin in its attempts to stop the full collapse of empire. Currently remote but that’s a scenario that more Bitcoiners ought consider - forced hyperbitcoinisation in a way that none of us want it.

If you’re arguing BTC won’t be the only MoE on planet earth in our lifetimes or the next - sure. That is an incredibly narrow definition of MoE and isn’t what Saylor is arguing.

It’s going to be a widely used MoE within 20 years, just not everywhere. More like how 7/8 of the world never had access to cable tv but now have access to internet streaming - it’s going to skip a bunch of legacy system bullshit in a way that Westerners struggle to appreciate.


Read the thread; I know why he’s saying it.

>“BTC isn’t a viable MOE in our lifetime & most likely the next. Grow the fuck up.”

This is the equivalent of telling someone in 1993 that there’s no way the internet will disrupt cable tv because the bandwidth won’t be available in our lifetimes or most likely the next.

Shortsighted.


Everything as a Service.

This is late stage fiat. Wall Street wants to see recurring revenues because they know inflation is leading to zombie companies, so they’re killing all the golden geese by pushing them into this opex subscription bullshit even when products should be capex.

Doesn’t matter that their best enterprise customers can’t operate this way, doesn’t matter that retail consumers are swamped in COL crises, the financial gods want their pound of flesh!


Climate is changing but from what I’ve read the intensity isn’t worse, there are simply more humans on earth meaning more people are affected by such incidents.

Definitely agree the worst is caused by solar activity and for this alone it’s obvious we can’t control it - we are however better equipped than ever to mitigate any such effects, precisely because we can harness energy dense fuels to power machines which allow us to build more suitable structures, materials (ie clothing) and harvest more food/water. We can cool/heat spaces and light them and use computers to further improve mitigation (ie we’re not stuck using expensive beeswax candles to learn shit once the sun goes down and write everything down all by hand).

The exact problem is the hubris. That is what differentiates and makes these proponents into cultists, they are certain that humanity has this ability and refuse to accept that there are things that no amount of money or technology can change.

This is what got hijacked into a cult; humanity’s hubristic belief that because we are the apex predator, that we can do anything. https://i.nostr.build/POGO7.jpg

It’s not. You could call Saylor a Cantillionaire and it would be accurate - he is one of the privileged few who can print new money into existence with MSTR’s access to capital debt markets.

Bitcoiners have to provide value to others to either receive Bitcoin payments or fiat money which they exchange for Bitcoin (or mine it).

The benefit they are deriving from Bitcoin is not due to their political connections or privileged position, it’s from their access to information which is never uniform in any market.


Pretty sick site. #KYC is a scam! https://kycnot.me/


Did not know that!


Right, and Cantillionaires don’t have to do either - they just need to be politically connected to those privileged few who give themselves the right to print new money into existence and gain first access to it.

How their benefit from the economic system is derived is why they are called Cantillionaires. The label doesn’t apply to Bitcoiners.


Bitcoiners are not Cantillionaires.

They’re not benefiting from having access to new money entering the economy first, they’re benefiting from information asymmetry.

In Aus we have KayoSports. The streaming service for sports that used to be Foxtel, the monopoly PTV provider.

I subscribed 3-4 years ago at $20 per month - this billing cycle they moved to $35 per month.

They have PPV UFC/Boxing, the rest is included in that price. It’s not really worth it any more with EPL/European Football on Optus, along with Tennis, some cricket on FTA due to law, FA Cup on Paramount+, and Im sure other things I care less about not on there now.

We unbundled only for the streaming services to split rights between them and recreate the same fees across multiple providers.

Thinking of going back to IPTV. I dropped it because it was wild west shit where my sub would get wiped out every other month. Better than paying all these fees for convenience though!


Chaos.

Apocalypse.

The great unwinding.

The fiat system cannot withstand 10% of people understanding how money works.


Thank you for engaging in this thought exercise! It’s really useful to play through such hypotheticals and challenge one’s own thinking and biases, appreciate that you’re willing to do that in good faith 😊

We agree a hardfork/rollback ain’t happening in the case of “theft” then. The entity whose coins were “stolen” can try but the fork will not gain any traction. I’m using quotation marks as this scenario could be done via legislation/Executive Order or as a straight up heist, either way, once the coins move is when the game theory kicks in.

If we take your presumption that they do this overtly to known addresses, leaving motives aside, let’s play that out.

We can blacklist or not.

If we softfork to blacklist and burn those coins (ie make them unspendable / not fungible with BTC) we reduce the supply cap by that amount. Existing HODLers benefit as their share of BTC goes from X/21M to X/21M-Burn making their coins more scarce and therefore more valuable. The thief, be it USGov or anyone else, is defunded and goes to zero.

BTC has now demonstrated that the network is not neutral. It can and will boot participants it does not want to hold it. That’s a BIG change.

This could possibly be overcome with the right propaganda but could just as easily be used as a narrative against it. We’re in a different world with adoption/knowledge/state strength etc if this is playing out so it’s difficult to judge how this might go - we’re looking too far ahead with too many variables.

Alternatively there is no softfork.

The world knows the addresses, no hardfork/rollback is happening, no softfork gains any traction.

We now have the biggest honeypot in history.

If it’s the USGov who 6102ed the coins, whoever is in charge is now effectively dictator and can’t be removed (think on the nature of holding the keys in multisig and who would be trusted). No more elections, how can you trust a new guy to come in and not steal that much wealth for himself or his cronies? (Bukele ain’t going anywhere BTW!) They gonna setup a Supreme Court of key holders? 😂

If it’s some private entity who takes the coins before a 6102, I guess it would come down to their motives. Do they want to airdrop it to millions of plebs? Do they want to fund global socialism? Does some bloke want to be a modern day Mansa Musa? Too many scenarios to nail down.

Either way, there is now a massive honeypot of coins which was just proved to be stealable.

Why would they be forked off? To discourage more theft I guess.

What if the network likes what they’re doing? Then maybe it won’t be restricted. And if it’s for something the network doesn’t like (ie the WEF agenda), maybe then it is.

Maybe we’re willing to see them be restolen. Maybe it brings too much heat to Bitcoiners getting wrench attacked in this new dynamic.

Again we’re into too many variables..

I can see paths where your softfork might happen but I think it’s extremely unlikely. Bitcoiners would be super reluctant to change consensus on 21M even if it favoured them short term, they’d probably be so well funded at this point that they could launch their own offence against such an actor and flip things into a different direction, depending on who has the coins and what they try to do with them I suppose.


Winning 🏆


Yes those are fair points.

But play through what you said and ask, how?

How would they try to execute this fork? Remember blocks are going to keep being added to the chain whilst this entity realises what has happened, then they have to communicate it to everyone, blocks keeps getting added.

1/3 of the world is offline and asleep at any one time so they won’t see what’s happening for hours at best, those that are online will be laughing, some will be crying, meanwhile blocks keep being added.

Hours in it will become clear the tx can’t be undone as Bitcoin has continued adding block after block after block. Time doesn’t stop.

So I’m not disagreeing they might try something but what is the practicality of the how?


Wrong. We don’t need a state. We need rules, we need structure/hierarchy, we need elites that people want to look up to.

None of that necessitates a State.

Think of Balajis Network State built on nostr with Bitcoin as Proof of Stake for participation - that’s not a State, that’s an entirely new way of being

Still, if I’m gonna look at Saylor on a scale to Bill Gates, whether he is an asset or not, if I’m forced to choose I know which one is getting the guillotine and which is spared.

My point is more, quit blindly trusting him. He’s in this for himself. He has said as much about his legacy. You’re likely to end up in a fork war with Saylor on one side and it will be the side best for him, not best for Bitcoin.


This is your burden. Bringing in your children’s friends. Ideally via their parents but regardless of their hookups, get the kids onboard.

No, he’s buying himself space from the political apparatus.

Saylor is in this for Saylor.


I’ve gone back and forth on this. Have consumed a lot of AnCap literature which says we don’t need a state but I’m siding with the neo-reactionaries like Curtis Yarvin and Pete Quinones (even though I have my disagreements).

It’s not that we need a State, it’s that we need a hierarchy because we have shittons of retards who will just become spanners in the works once we get ride of the State. Without it, we will be taken over by leftists (see note: nostr:note1cues8lh3kkvfll5zmmp2uz82up9yhhahk0pjsaqrt4wklg9wx8ps9j6fjx )

The only Defense is to have a well articulated alternative that normies want to adopt. That normies will self-enforce this if given the remit and the means which means self-responsibility and gun rights.

We’re not all equal. If you’re here on nostr engaged in deep thought on a Bitcoin future you are probably top quintile - the future financial elite. The very people who will run such a system. The bottom quintile who need their base instincts curbed are not here yet, they’re still on Facebook and Xitter and Reddit demanding everyone accede to their retardation and give free stuff to them.

You can’t get elected via fiat rails and implement this stuff. It’s only feasible to be built as a parallel system which people opt into.

“Just get the fuck out of our way.”

They won’t. This is precisely why I’m exploring the idea. The gerontocracy will cling on til they die in office ala Dianne Feinstein. People thought she was an aberration - no, she is the new normal.

If you’re familiar with the debt and unfunded liabilities and the money sitting in retirement accounts which will attract politicians, you will see this. The Boomers are gonna go on the offensive and try to keep the system together for their benefit as it naturally unravels. They’ll do everything to protect their wealth and kick the can of consequences for future generations to deal with.

Millennials have to stand up and build the alternative, show people a better way.

The system is going to become increasingly decrepit and ineffective as the average age of its representatives keeps going up.

Don’t ask them to get the fuck out of the way. Show another way, totally new rails, and bring the next generations in so we don’t repeat Boomer mistakes.

The positive framing needs to be directed to economic noderunners, those with skin in the game.

If we want covenants, then noderunners need to be convinced why we need it, why it won’t hurt them (ossify camp), and what the benefits are.

The Devs proposing it are beyond clueless. I’d go so far as to call them retarded. I doubt a single one of them has even read Dale Carnegie which is the absolute basics for persuasion.

Covenants are going nowhere because it’s proponents suck balls at convincing others why it’s necessary


Psychopaths are drawn into the status quo system of hierarchy. It suits them perfectly well to not be able to define a woman when they have all the trappings of the State protecting them.

This whole shitshow needs to be rebuilt in parallel such that we can filter them out.

If you want to fix it, get ready for discomfort on a personal level.


I am tacitly with you. Proponents of covenants however are absolutely fukn awful at explaining their case.

They don’t even seem to understand who they are trying to sell the idea to.

Bitcoin can’t be led by such people if it is to grow which we both agree it must.

“So what? Banks (pegged shitcoins, eCash, etc.) WILL print in excess of reserves. This always happens.”

This is the wrong framing entirely.

Covenants need their own positive framing, not a negative one opposed to the risks of alternatives.

No no, Lowery himself is a shitcoin.

If you want Bitcoin to replace kinetic warfare then it won’t happen with the existence of current nation states which is what he advocates.

It will happen when a parallel system overtakes the current paradigm. Rules without rulers.

You’ve followed me for a while so you know I’m not a collectivist in any sense and believe strongly in individual rights.

Identity as a concept is beyond that. It fills a hole in the human psyche much like religion does. Or statism for that matter. It’s why this whole transmaoist movement has become so prominent.

This was meant to be subversive. I’m not interested in nuance on this particular subject (generally I am), I have shittons of that in my own personal identity and how I ended up here as an #AUStrich rather than being one of a myriad European identities from my lineage.

This thread was posted from my #Bitcoiner identity. An identity which I’m deeply interested in exploring, whose boundaries are not well defined, which I believe needs better definition if it is to survive and grow and be capable of being the white blood cells for this system trying to do something beyond me as an individual.

As I said earlier in our chat, I’d consider this move extremely contentious and other Nostriches have supported that.

Bitcoiners don’t want theft adjudicated by consensus and they don’t want to fuck with the 21 million just because the USGov (which I personally think is the biggest threat to Bitcoin) or anyone else is doing hostile things on the network.

Ah gotcha. Yes and no though I’d say.

This dynamic hasn’t been fully grokked by people yet. These Institutions sitting on gigantic piles of corn have fallible humans protecting those 12 words.

Even sharded with a multisig, there’s a few bags of flesh and bone in control of keys protecting potentially Trillions in wealth that are one immutable transaction away from being moved to someone else’s control. No Bitcoin police to call and seize it, no Bank to print the difference.

The game theory **massively** changes when Bitcoin skyrockets into 7 figures and these honeypots become irresistible to motivated actors.

What do you mean “to keep a secret”?


The real world is built on human networks.

Traditionally these have been limited by geography but that need not be the case any more with the internet and Bitcoin.

I’d love to see Bitcoiners start doing their own student exchanges like how powerful families used to send their eldest sons to the Kings court - that was partially to keep an eye on them and have leverage over them which we don’t need, but the child also got a proper education from the brightest people of the time.

And similarly I’d rather have kids apprenticed to good Bitcoiners to learn real skills after they get a proper grounding in solid education. This post I saw recently on Xitter was really interesting on this idea

I’ve posted multiple times that I think Coinbase are going to be targeted when BTC goes up - if some group goes and robs Blackrock of 500k coins before the USGov can 6102 them, are we going to blacklist that too?

If the choice is between USGov 6102ing without impact and Noderunners blacklisting addresses, I’ll take the former.

They’ve just created a massive fucking honeypot again that some group can go after, rob, and send via irreversible transaction out of their custody.

No theft of Bitcoin should see wallets blacklisted. “Soft” blacklisted ok, but not via consensus.


Not inevitable IMO. You hack a CBDC, they just remove your tokens when they clean up the breach.

Real Bitcoiners are here to flip the table and banish the bankers. NGU is part of the process but it’s not the goal.


No, there are Bitcoiners and BitcoinBugs.

The former are like white blood cells - their job is to die on the hill of defending the system.

The latter are like red blood cells - we need them for circulation but the system can lose plenty of them but will infuse new ones and survive.

To conflate BitcoinBugs who are in it for NGU, no different to GoldBugs, with ride or die Bitcoiners who are in this for something greater than themselves is a category error of those who don’t understand what is at stake.

Tend to agree with your view on the first point.

However I would contend the Boomers are almost a different species. Humanity has never seen such a generation before. Everyone before and since has been concerned about the wellbeing of who and what comes next in a way they just aren’t and in large part I think that’s because of how indoctrinated and bought into the fiat system they have been.

Recently I posted a quote about identity which has been on my mind: nostr:note1rqgpl4ylw9sf72nl4wrkpg2vur43whwppu25vjjmjm9t9jesa84sycwrsd

And in my “Goldbugs aren’t Bitcoiners” note I wrote “And this is why the Goldbugs ultimately failed - they had no positive vision to articulate for the world, and thus no identity for others to adopt.”

Goldbugs tend to be Boomers or late GenX at least. Your point that there is nuance I accept, but I’m thinking about the delineation of identity - both in terms of a positive one that people can adopt which I believe has to come from Millennials for a strong future, but inherit in that is the negative/out group whose values need to be rejected.

I understand that most on #nostr would prefer to focus on the positive vision which is the more noble pursuit but the dirty work of “who is not” must still be done.

So it’s not about “hate” but rather, how the negative traits that we want pushed out of culture are to be framed.


Stop smoking your hopium and snacking popcorn while listening to your favorite Youtube influencer who probably brainwashed you for years by telling you that states will embrace Bitcoin if we just educate them hard enough and by selling you some bs narrative about regulatory-compliant Bitcoin. If you want regulatory-compliant money, I’ve good news for you. You already have one. It’s your local currency.  If you want better money, then please go ahead, vote, engage in political debates and see what happens. Expect to get canceled very quickly and portrayed as a right-winger, nazi or “anti-democratic” like politicans and mainstream journalists do with people who criticize the Euro and want back the Deutsche Mark or gold. Explain to politicians why freedom of transacting privately is essential and you’ll be associated with terrorism and money laundering. That’s why they crack down on their own cash money and now you think for some magical reason they would like people transacting privately if they just use bitcoin instead of cash? Ridiculous. We wouldn’t need Bitcoin in the first place if we could have achieved good money via political debates or voting. In fact we have Bitcoin, because we could not.

Learn how states operate. States don’t like sound money, they never did, and their hunger for power and control is limitless and with an increasing pace the more things start to become nasty. It’s just in their nature and has always been. While drowning in the swamp of debt they won’t shake your hands and say “well played bitcoiner, stack more”. If you naively think of Bitcoin just as an regulatory-compliant investment you probably missed the point entirely. Prepare for being hunted. They will come after your bitcoin, they will tax the shit out of you or point-blank 6102 you as soon as Bitcoin starts to pose a serious threat to the governments money printer.

I know this all sucks, but this is exactly what was foreseen decades ago and why Bitcoin was developed. It’s a permissionless and very powerful tool for you, as an individual, for opting out and building systems around.

The Brits are bastards with our modern lens but as a product of their time they were fukn mild in how they went about colonialism. Pretty much everyone else was far worse in their treatment of native populations.

No doubt if you or I were Aborigines living in the 1700s and 1800s we would have hated them with a passion but if one can’t look back 250 years and generations later at the society that was built here, that they benefit inordinately from, then you’re just a clown.

It’s never coming back as money. We’re not returning to physical MoEs - the world has already moved on and it’s only the Goldbugs who believe we will regress to Mad Max societies.


Fiat is by decree of a centralised authority - Bitcoin is anti-fiat.

If you truly wanted money that doesn’t evaporate you’d opt for the hardest money known to man which in 3 weeks after the halving, will be Bitcoin.

Not made out of gold, I just thought it very fitting.

The few ideological Goldbugs who don’t get Bitcoin are like Generals fighting the last war.

They don’t understand why their tactics have no chance at working, they’d show up on the battlefield in suits of armour with spears and swords and expect their ancient armour and weapons to be effective because they don’t understand how the world has changed.

This statue is a Vietnamese warrior - they waged war for centuries against the Khmer and Siam and Ming dynasty and were actually very strong - then the French showed up with guns and massive ships and destroyed them with little effort..


The ETFs were inevitable. Wall Street are the epitome of “in it for themselves” and it became too clear that there was huge money to be made here so they wanted in, and they always get what they want.

From Bitcoins perspective, think of the ETFs as a way to more efficiently dump fuel on the fire. A pipeline for capital which is going to send the price this cycle in an unprecedented way that can’t simply be switched off by Gov as they’re doing for retail on-ramps which are a garden hose in comparison.

My concern isn’t the ETFs centralising Bitcoin the network, or it’s consensus. My concern is this is the sovereign game theory starting in earnest and nobody is talking about that.

They’re on track to have 10%+ of coins by the end of the year - that’s a gigantic honeypot for the USGov to 6102 and possibly use to repeg the dollar to Bitcoin rather than gold.

THAT would be a problem. That’s hyperbitcoinisation in a way that we DO NOT want. They would be using our sound money in the fiat system, no table overthrow or reset - just fiat games which Bitcoiners will have to deal with.

The upside here is that, Wall Street and the USGov have never played this game. They’re on our turf and it is completely alien to them. They’ve never had to deal with meatbags custodying Trillions in wealth behind a few keys, nor a whole bunch of now rich anarchist types who want to smash their system and have money to fund their schemes..

This is where Bitcoiners get to go on offence. If they hold 70% of the corn when it hits $1 Million+ then we have a well funded army to go out and recruit more people through that positive vision, to grow the network rapidly, to demonstrate a better way.

Don’t sell corn to Larry Fink - prepare for shit to get real.

GOLDBUGS AREN’T BITCOINERS

And they never will be.

Yes, they’ve identified a common enemy - central banks and governments who print money out of thin air.

And they have the right prescription - sound money.

Logically they should be our greatest allies, but they are not; why is that?

Because Goldbugs are in it for themselves. They want a return to a gold standard not because it would free people from fiat debt slavery, not to help the unbanked or to separate money and state.

No, they are goldbugs because it would pump their heavy bags. The fact gold is already captured and controlled means Goldbugs cheer when Central Banks buy more because they don’t want to overthrow the table and reset the system; they just want fiat repegged to shiny rocks in a vault no matter their rhetoric.

This is why so few actually convert to becoming Bitcoiners; they’re not in it for something greater than themselves - they’re in it only for themselves.

The few who have joined us had ideological axes to grind. Whether it was nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak watching his country get rekt, or nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv who got fukt in the GFC or Quoth the Raven who realised the “cult” would be a self-fulfilling prophecy - they saw beyond 5000 years of history and understood this could be bigger than all that, and might actually work.

And this is why the Goldbugs ultimately failed - they had no positive vision to articulate for the world, and thus no identity for others to adopt.

They could tell you about a better monetary system but economics is inseparably intertwined with politics and culture and philosophy; without which they lacked a comprehensive worldview and aspirational conviction for others to follow.

Bitcoiners must learn from this lesson of the Goldbugs if we are to succeed. Millennials need to step up and lead the way, demonstrating a better life that people want to emulate and opt into.

Yeah I think people are still stuck in Bitcoin “as a stock” thinking so they instinctively put a cap on upside, they don’t understand that it is money and thus the TAM is effectively everything in existence.

It actually creates a dilemma for Bitcoiners in a sense. If you want to invest in your own business or buy a house you gotta realise that parting with Sats is going to seem like a bad idea in hindsight.


Tim was super early, 10 years ago it would have been difficult to forecast $70k BTC and have conviction to hold that entire time.

Nowadays the network is well established and more and more are working out that if they just get a piece of this absolutely scarce asset and HODL, it will likely continue outperforming every other thing you could put your purchasing power in because more and more people are going to continue working this out and doing the same.

People tend to emulate successful people and once everyone has a few successful Bitcoiners in their circles, they’re going to take it seriously and start emulating them too.

Very interesting.

VicPol had all the signals from protestors during Covid, I remember David Limbrick tweeting about it because VicGov got their hands on the data. And China had Apple ban airdrop because Hong Kong protestors were using it to communicate.

Imagine a few of these in a crowd with people on some little nostr network.. No more pulling the plug on the internet, no more strongarming King Cantillionaire or any other platform owners to censor, Govs are going to have to start using fully blown military tactics and equipment to stop people who would oppose them and that doesn’t look good.

Australia has been socialistish as long as I’ve been alive so it’s not on the Irish who came post GFC, they moreso amplified it.

No different to the Vietnamese who emigrated here - they left after the US were kicked out because they weren’t Commies but they came with little and benefitted greatly from our social programs and so now keep voting for more of the same.

Australia is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world if you’re poor. Until recently being homeless was very much only by choice, plenty of systems to get you on your feet if you fell on hard times so every wave of immigrants has benefitted from this. Problem is they now massively outnumber the local productive population who pay for it all and because most aren’t business owners who see more directly how fucked taxes are, they entrench and broaden the socialism through their politics.

6-7 years ago. We got Irish embeds inside “Aussie companies” (in my case, US Companies setting up Aussie presence under local PTY LTDs).

They married locals and got PR/Citizenship and had the same work rights as the rest of us but were heavily embedded in recruitment.

That’s a job that makes $200k here no sweat. $300-$400-$500k in good years. Take 50% in tax it’s still top 10%.

They became champagne socialists in Aus. Received all the benefits as they got established, lived comfortable with good wages, then wanted more socialism from the rest of us once they had roots in country.

They avoided your shitshow and demand we go down your path. Not working well for any of us.


Canadian Truckers have earned their spot in the GFY Hall of Fame no matter what.

Bitcoin girls seem to fall on one of two axes:

1) Self-sufficient women who want, but don’t need men
2) Trad-wife types who get it via low time preference

Neither would sell their husbands tools. The former out of respect for their husbands work, the latter out of respect for their husbands ability to provide.

Anyone who would sell your tools doesn’t understand time preference and thus, Bitcoin.

Now what?

You think we haven’t thought through such basic bitch solutions and are just waiting for someone to come save us or something?


Yep. It gets harder as you get older but I’m beyond my threshold now.


You’re welcome to butt heads, I’ve nothing against the Irish, it’s in my own bloodline, I’m just describing reality on the ground in Aus.

We got your younguns after the GFC with their socialist ideas, they got good paying jobs and all the benefits of our version of socialism so they never grew out of it and were encouraged to join the system which they did.

Can’t blame them leaving the Irish collapse for Aus which uniquely rode out the GFC thanks to our low debt-to-GDP. It’s just 20/20 hindsight which shows what a bad idea it was for us to let them come here permanently and solidify the leftism which is thoroughly entrenched in Aus.


I don’t know the actual numbers but shittons of Irish came out here after the GFC. Recruitment in Aus is basically run by Irish and some Northern Poms.

Your countrymen haven’t helped us but I get why they came given what they faced at home and what Aus seemed to offer.

Too many bought socialist ideas though. Irish-Aussies are now champagne socialists contributing to these very problems!


They must have thought he was a time traveler.

These ideas were so far ahead of those times.

Bear in mind back then, representative democracy was advanced. They sent their best and brightest to the capital to help backwaters who had no idea what was happening 3 counties over let alone across the continent.

That he nailed it was all down to Economics. What we call “Austrian Economics” today but which would have been purely old school back then.

Man I’d love to be dropped in to that time with him. Such a fucking Chad!

There is no pretence of flipping Bitcoin this cycle. It’s more likely Solana flips mETH.

The degeneracy is in memecoins which don’t even try to claim they do something BTC doesn’t.

We’ve entered a new paradigm. All the shitcoiners will fill their bags this time round knowing BTC is all that’s real.


Disagree.

What’s left to mine is what new adopters are waking up to now. Otherwise they have to shake from existing holders and 70%+ of those coins aren’t moving - gonna need to be 7 figures of fiat to shake 1 coin out of someone holding XX+ bitcoin who doesn’t need to sell.

Diminishing returns doesn’t apply in an accelerating adoption curve.

This cycle is for HODLing. Put “real” prices against coins.

I’m talking Islands in the Caribbean that come with a passport, NYC blocks, energy generators, CRE holding companies etc.

When price accelerates this cycle people won’t dump for inflating fiat. Buyers need to offer real assets if they want to be wholecoiners.

Bastiat was based AF!

Unions and Tenure and Minimum Wage are great examples of this. Leftist ideas that seem like a good idea at the time to address immediate problems because they can’t do logical deductions to see second and third order effects and how these will have negative externalities.

Australia’s democracy had a referendum in 2023 on “The Voice”.

The newly elected Gov proposed a wishy-washy “voice to parliament” for Aborigines. They refused to detail what it would mean up front and just wanted a constitutional amendment to enable it.

They lost every state and territory 60-40 except for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) - a tiny enclave where our Federal Gov sits, similar to Washington DC where all the fucking bureaucrats live.

Despite losing the referendum (bear in mind Australia is 1of2 “democracies” with **mandatory** voting on threat of fines), States have ignored those results and moved ahead with their own “Voice”.

Even though their constituents voted against this idea, they’ve gone ahead and done it anyway.

South Australia went first. A state 3X larger than Germany with 1.7 million people, they decided to do this at a state level totally ignoring the referendum result.

They had 30,000 eligible Aboriginal people and got just 2,619 votes. 0.1% of the population just override the 60-40 result thanks to democracy.

Put aside your idealism from CivVI telling you a Churchill quote and come to the real world. Democracy is a fucking shitcoin used to mask the actions of totalitarians to do whatever they want.


How much of that is BSV though?


Nonsense. Democracy facilitates cover for the people actually in charge and that’s it.

The plebs don’t actually control things. They’re engaged purely to perpetuate the systemic theft a democratic system enables without having a single head to cut from its shoulders to stop it.


Trolling


Having whipped cream in a can in the fridge is an American thing Walker.

We can buy it at the supermarket here in Aus but nobody does, we whip our own cream on the rare occasions we need it.


The peasants shouldn’t be concerned with politics.

The peasant sitting at home on the couch having his entire lifestyle funded by the productive class has zero incentive to vote for what’s best for those that actually fund him; they vote for more benefits for themselves.

Bisq simply doesn’t have the available volume today to replace exchanges.

But with these on-ramps closing up in Aus & UK and other places, P2P is going to take off again in the coming few years.

Forget about borrowing against your Bitcoin to live, smart Bitcoiners will work out how to trade P2P in volume and live off the Premium.

Coinbase will have Trillions of dollars of Bitcoin in custody within a few years and it’s chock full of retards.

I loved that too. it definitely lowers the bar for operators, and from a business perspective for them it makes sense. I really did think it was the solution I was looking for, but actually – what proportion of overall sales is bitcoin going to make up initially? Nothing significant to begin with, so the dual purpose pdq in a pub that probably has 10+ terminals already I'm not sure is very compelling from the operators perspective. Versus a $30 LNPos. Thank you, I really appreciate the input 🙏

Only for your own interest, here's the draft manifesto which gives a bit more insight in to what I'm doing – I have clients making up hundreds of pubs across the UK, I will be able to get this in trade press:

In the heart of every village, at the corner of every bustling city street stands a beacon of British culture—the pub. But today, this cultural cornerstone is faltering. It’s time to breathe new life into the Great British Pub, and Bitcoin is our lifeline.

The Bitcoin Pub Company is not merely a venture; it’s a crusade to revitalise hope and secure a prosperous future for our cherished locals. Pubs are the very embodiment of British values and community spirit—yet, they're under siege by the relentless grind of inflation and mounting economic headwinds, eroding margins, and challenging the survival of both independent locals and larger pub groups alike.

Bitcoin is the antidote to this silent crisis. The unchecked expansion of the monetary supply has crushed the viability of the pub business. Bitcoin introduces a new standard, a deflationary currency that appreciates over time, making the prospect of running a pub not only viable but promising.

Envision the clientele of the future: the Bitcoiner. They are the pioneers, the affluent, and the optimists. They seek to forge a better world and hold loyalty as a core virtue. Attract Bitcoiners, and you welcome a community of steadfast patrons ready to champion your business.

Today, we issue a rallying cry for the finest pubs to join our mission. The Bitcoin Pub Company will evolve into the definitive collective, a gathering place for the pubs that embrace the future of currency.

This is our declaration: to save the Great British Pub. We are not a business; we are a mission. We pledge every donated Satoshi to spearhead this campaign, to ensure that those who lead will be followed by the many in time.

We are at a crossroads where societal bonds and British values are in jeopardy. The pub is more than a place to drink—it's where our culture and community find common ground. With Bitcoin, we return purpose and optimism to the Great British pub. We are on the cusp of a renaissance, and with Bitcoin, the best is yet to come.

It’s good to see multiple options coming forward, I just really like the idea of both in the same terminal as it reduces friction but yeah businesses shouldn’t be converting to fiat, they should be holding BTC on the balance sheet and only selling what they need for operations.


It’s all in the tone and context

Authentic Bitcoiners are few, I'm sure, a lot of influencers and a lot of graphics, but all false words.

What is an authentic Bitcoiner?

I think the three most important requirements are:

- Someone who has 99% of their wealth in Bitcoin if you exclude housing, in some cases even including housing.
- Someone who has their own node.
- Someone who holds their own coins.

But most importantly, you meet these requirements because you don't see value in Fiat, so you are able to see Matrix.

You only see in the Fiat forgeable papers, in the same way you only see in the house and other goods rights of use granted by the government that can be taken away from you at any time.

The right of use is always granted by a third party or under consensus, a right of use is not private property.

On the other hand, freedom, like private property, is violence, I know you don't like to read violence, the government has educated you not to use it and be a sheep, but private property is directly proportional to the capacity you have to defend it, if you can't defend it, it is little more than a right of use, a concession.

And this is where Bitcoin comes in, its defence is totally asymmetrical. To defend your house from the government you would need an army equal or bigger than the government's, but to defend Bitcoin you only need to hide your 12 words, you won't even have to use violence.

And lastly, if we were all authentic Bitcoiners, the government would cease to exist, there is no money, no bread, the government thieves have to eat too, if they don't eat then you know, they die.

Bitcoin is much more powerful than you think.

How famous are you to live a floor above Diddy?


This is why I love #nostr

We can each put a whole argument forward without arbitrary character limits defined by our subscription level, articulate our differences, find common ground, agree where we agree and disagree where we disagree but actually flesh that out with no-one moderating language or opinions or views and as such we can both make points in good faith and receive them in kind. We opt in to that much like Bitcoin.

This protocol is going to be central for building the alternative for those very reasons.

The digital world is where we will organise and communicate these ideas - meatspace will forever be where we live these ethos but it can be shaped by our unintermediated ability to talk and bring those ideas to life even on opposite sides of the world.


We agree stacking Sats isn’t enough.

I guess it could be called an evolution, my contention is that bridge can’t lead to a place where today’s systems are simply the status quo with Bitcoin sprinkled on top.

The state isn’t going to wither away. This gigantic bureaucracy won’t just dislodge itself because Bitcoin exists and Bitcoin won’t work in this giant bureaucracy.

Central banks gotta go. Which means banks have to be completely rethought which means all of modern finance is in the bin.

Governments aren’t fit for purpose - the idea we send some representatives to a city to vote on our behalf a few days a year is a laughable joke and leads to what we have today.

The idea they control everything from health to education to social welfare to infrastructure to laws to bin collections to libraries etc - that’s all gotta go.

That has implications. We just made 50%+ of the population redundant; they’re not going to sit by idly with banking/finance/real estate/bureaucracy/education/healthcare/etc stripped out of central planning/funding - they’re going to revolt without a positive alternative to opt in to.

Nation states are a starting point for an easy transition but likely need to devolve into regional or community jurisdictions.

Rules without rulers doesn’t work with a world full of dependents.

Every major movement of the past 500 years had a comprehensive view of the world encompassing not just economics (Bitcoin) but politics, society, culture, religion and law.

Bitcoin alone isn’t enough. We would simply be repeating the Goldbugs mistakes of telling the world about a better monetary system without showing them a better way to live.

People won’t exit fiat unless they can see and feel what a better system is and we haven’t built that yet.

To me, that’s what separation of money and state really means - you abolish the state by building something in its place that people prefer and actively seek out, not by simply telling them their money sucks.


#AUStriches about to be forced into a cashless society sooner than they imagined with Armaguard apparently close to going under.

Did you work out how to filter out that nostrin bot on nostr.band? It’s basically spam in search results


Not sure that we do disagree.

Building the parallel system isn’t exclusionary, but time is finite and whilst one is fighting this one they’re by definition not working towards a new one.

Perhaps we disagree that a new one is needed? If so let me make the case for why I think that is necessary.


Yes. I leave the people who want to fight the system to it because it buys time but I’m under no illusions that they’re going to win and usher in hyperbitcoinisation by assuming power over this system.

We need a new system to supplant this one, creating that is necessary.


That was in NSW. They haven’t even cracked down yet which they will because this is driven by the government wanting to protect tobacco taxation.

They’ll make examples of some randoms on the street vaping and raid some shops and you watch everyone fold like a cheap suit to the dictate of daddy government


OnlyFans crossover


Hell is looking more attractive than Australia for Bitcoiners.


Fighting for your right to use Bitcoin won’t be enough - you’re playing into their frame and asking for permission.

No, the system must be built anew from the ground up with Bitcoin at its core and a comprehensive worldview around it.

You can’t fix the world by plugging fixed money into this fiat shitshow. It’s ALL got to go.


“It is not a life of the robust power and dictation of the state recreated anew, but a new form-of-life to free all people everywhere for the rest of time from such restrictions towards what it would really mean to be free.”

Preach brother!

This isn’t just going to happen, Bitcoiners need to stop with the Marxist Utopianism that the State is just going to fade away because we smashed their money printer.

If we want people to be free, we have to show them how to live with rules and without rulers.

That’s what I’m here for.


There is no civil nor criminal penalties for breaches which means the “voluntary” language is nonsense.

Digital ID in Australia will be as voluntary as jabs were.

This legislation is the signal. Time to pack it up bro


A 15 year old was arrested recently. Video in this article: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/teens/dont-touch-him-wild-scenes-as-teen-scuffles-with-police-during-arrest-over-vape/news-story/2edb9243d66eb0b49c9a5875b7ee9425


Lightning payments have already been hacked together for Square.

When will this be integrated so we can pay for coffee with Bitcoin and shut up the haters with their outdated talking points?

#AUStriches really don’t understand the future that lays ahead.

We have a legislated “Net Zero” target by 2050 with a 43% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 also written into law.

On top of which we also have a legal ban on nuclear energy in this country.

2100 days to achieve that first milestone in and check out the reality of our grid today:

Digital books do you mean?

Any thoughts on how audiobooks could be redone on nostr to get authors paid?


Yep absolutely. I might have a think about this and put up a bounty or nostrocket or something.

Getting creators paid for their work will be a huge driver for #nostr and this seems ripe for disruption


Bro WTF?! I had no idea this was how the Audible business model worked 🤯

Listen to No Agenda podcast, they do a 3x3 segment where they play the same news story from ABC, MSNBC & CNBC - they’re all pretty much exactly the same.

M5M is getting their talking points from the regime, same in every country, they’re all hand-in-glove and there’s no room for deviation because they’re just mouthpieces meant to legitimise whatever Gov wants to do.


How much is that in $ADA? 🤣

Without algos trying to engage you in outrage, with a positive monetary incentive on the line, and with no-one able to control what you say or to whom you say it - turns out people actually build nice communities that others want to participate in!


Excited to unveil #Nosflare a serverless #Nostr relay purpose-built for Cloudflare Workers and the Cloudflare KV store.

This relay is designed to be easy to deploy, scalable, and cost-effective, leveraging Cloudflare's edge computing infrastructure to provide a resilient relay for the Nostr decentralized social protocol.

Check it out https://github.com/Spl0itable/nosflare


Just ponder the game theory of this for a moment..

They have the best Bitcoin scholar and economist already in nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak, if he managed to influence Muslim nations to go first and decouple from the petrodollar system, the world would be shook in a way that none of us could anticipate.

Imagine the WEF types if the West lost its dominance to the Muslim world..

They won’t understand until they’re forced to understand AND there is no leftist ideologue telling them it’s capitalisms fault rather than their own policies, so basically never gonna happen.


I know right! 😂

The funny thing is this is from Harvard and you know how much leftists emphasise credentialism, it’s a slap in the face for them. Most don’t care though as they’re full of cognitive dissonances


The left v right paradigm that most people still think about is stuck in the 90s. The left went so far left so as to make those classifiers practically useless

The revolution will not be tweeted, it will be noted.


Some bureaucrat crossed that out no doubt


I hate to “well akshually” a meme but that’s really not what the “deepstate” is. This just refers to the string pullers at the top of the system, the tip of the iceberg.

The entrenched bureaucracy who can basically never be fired, produce nothing, constantly vote for entrenching a bigger “deepstate”, and now get paid higher salaries than private sector workers aren’t all blackmailed with CP - they’re just lazy, sometimes ideological, and overall acting in their own self-interests.


Jade is for Boomers! Bold marketing strategy 😂

This would be living life on Ultra Hard mode.

So much stuff is built today with zero thought that it will be repaired when it breaks. Manufacturers won’t make parts and in some instances will sue third-parties who do over IP infringements.

Fiat has destroyed financial responsibility and stuff

Bacon x12 is not a crime nostr:note1te5xazrzhsg53r9kxkknpetlsqzxy8tdw3mcpshf75nafyu0j2ksujtvyq


Even this chart isn’t complete in considering monetary properties, but you are absolutely right that privacy is but one consideration and the Monerobros insistence that it was/is the pinnacle property left them shortsighted to everything else.

#Bitcoin has far better privacy than fiat today, and when CBDCs arrive and it's the only viable monetary alternative and further privacy enhancements come to Bitcoin, they will see the error in their thinking. https://i.nostr.build/yqkB5.jpg

We need to break the cycle swinging from left totalitarianism to right totalitarianism and actually try out some damn freedom
