The fiat system has the wealthy connected and working hand-in-glove with political power, this has real world impacts. Bitcoiners do not have this and their independent wealth undermines those in charge of the fiat system.

There is certainly a path to positive transformation in friendly jurisdictions, but I doubt that’s going to be a consistent thing happening across the world.


How fortunate for they made Exchanges KYC everyone who bought corn. Pretty easy to find when the impetus is there


The Xitter replies are all rainbows and butterflies which I think is completely naive, it’s Bitcoiners imagining their own lens and the beauty they could bring to the world rather than how the world has changed around them. Having thought a bit about the game theory of this let me put forth another perspective:

- There are hundreds of Bitcoin Billionaires
- Thousands of Hundred Millionaires
- These will be early adopters who often are quite anarchist and not fans of the state
- Their wealth is LIQUID, not like the wealthy people in the fiat system whose wealth is permissioned/illiquid
- They can now privately fund armed forces at a scale none of us have ever seen
- The world will bifurcate into Bitcoin friendly/enemy dynamics and Bitcoiners had better find themselves in a friendly jurisdiction
- US Gov will seek to 6102 companies at some point
- Assassinations/killings will be much more common
- Politicians going after Bitcoin or Bitcoiners face a completely different threat model
- Bitcoin custodians are sitting on Trillion dollar honeypots
- They are now the biggest targets on earth with their corn one irreversible block away from giving an activist organisation nation state level wealth
- Leftist organisations will be targeting Bitcoin first for taxes, then for confiscation/redistribution
- Hacks and fraud will increase exponentially
- Fiat backed by Bitcoin will be seen as a trump card to save the US empire
- No more Bitcoin conferences
- No one wears Bitcoin merch
- Square has announced Lightning payments are coming soon™
- Peter Schiff still says it’s going to zero

Exactly. I post a bunch about demographics on here, I know how important it is because I also post about living in a society and how important that is.

Why shouldn’t I just help get these fuckers off the planet? They want fewer humans but don’t want to volunteer, well let’s not make it voluntary for them any more and just do what they don’t have the balls to do.

Doubt we’re gonna miss the next Einstein by ending some neo-Malthusian bloodlines. You’ve gotta be at minimum semi retarded to believe that shit


These neo-Malthusians benefit from modern medicine like the rest of us and m live to 70-80-90 regardless of children born.

For decades their whinging about overpopulation drags the Overton Window to their view that the world is overpopulated.

I’m not going to ignore them, how can I? They’re literally trying to eradicate my species.

Tell me why we shouldn’t we just get rid of them with this in mind?


I’m ready https://i.nostr.build/5GG3K.jpg


Why do we tolerate neo-Malthusians constantly whinging about overpopulation?

Genuine question.

The solution to these peoples problems is suicide. They believe the world is overpopulated, ergo they should kill themselves and help solve the problem they believe they have identified.

On other platforms I can’t tell them to kill themselves or I’ll get booted despite the fact it’s literally the logical conclusion of their own argument.

Why shouldn’t we meme these pricks into an early grave rather than allow them to shift the Overton Window?


Thinking about Robert Conquest’s 3 Laws of Politics, specifically the second.

We are doomed to perpetually operate in an Overton Window set by leftists if we don’t internalise this and create Organisations explicitly to counter them. Because leftists will always seek power through subversion (see 3), so they will always seek to undermine right-wing Institutions so long as they are allowed to co-exist in the societies which form them.

Balkanisation and self-segregation thus seem inevitable when the pendulum swings and will likely be key to establishing and maintaining domains where the left can’t consume them. https://i.nostr.build/LeeZD.jpg  nostr:note1cfch9rjpnzv6pt72dkrzn40ytm6k8etv547t6q9qsttm5r4rsthqcw2qtz

So VicRoads decided to temporarily drop the speed limit on all bridges from 80kmh to 60kmh, ostensibly due to the risk of crosswinds on trucks.

If you were to rob a fiat millionaire though, you’re not getting much was my point. If forced to sign over the deed to a house, the thief isn’t going to get to keep the house.

If someone kidnaps Elon Musk, they’re not going to get to get to keep his stock in Tesla and Xitter and SpaceX.

Rob someone with a Bitcoin, and that corn is in your custody within 10 minutes and irreversible after an hour - that’s a very different proposition.

Throw in political and economic turmoil which Governments will blame on Bitcoin and Bitcoiners and suddenly the threat model looks very different. Absolutely people need to take care of their own security, I’m just not sure many are thinking through what that actually means.


If this thing is inevitably going to $1M and beyond as people think, Bitcoiners are going to become targets.

Large language models are literally midwit engines and are only helpful when your knowledge in an area is below average.


There’s a weird dichotomy where the more wealthy Western countries are actually much worse than poorer developing countries on certain vectors.

Things like passport control in poor countries - still a manual process, not taking full biometrics of everyone, that’s a much less invasive system. Western countries have insane surveillance there.

Things like building codes - way laxer. You don’t need to hire traffic mgmt or setup huge perimeters and scaffolds and shit to do work, you just do it. Western countries have so much red tape that it costs 10X more and takes 5X longer.

And “crypto” in many cases is also much easier to interact with because Western banks are so tight with governments and they work together to restrict it.

Obviously in your case you have some shit tradeoffs too but there is a middle ground in developing countries that makes the West seem ridiculous in many areas and the gap on things like healthcare (oft cited) is actually way less than people think.

They can’t be starved of revenue or tied up in regulatory issues with their customer base. Outcompeting them solves nothing so reputation is the weak spot.

Customers would care if they are hacked and customer info were leaked (contracts are sensitive). More scrutiny in security audits means sales slow down, renewals become more difficult, some will just stay away entirely but that would likely require multiple incidents.

They will also care if Execs were embroiled in scandal. Doesn’t matter if it’s true, the news of it does the damage. Difficult for Governments to do business with people publicly associated with…?

Employees care if it’s unsafe to work there or the brand would potentially put off future employers but would be difficult to move as they just want the paycheck.

The market is the most difficult to influence and it’s more by weight of issues than any individual thing. Companies survive shitstorms all the time, it’s when multiple things hit in succession and don’t all get swept under the rug that it becomes a problem.

It’s not arbitrary.

A company is a legal fiction endowed by the State. There is no “Microstrategy” as a physical entity in the world, you can’t walk up and punch Microstrategy in the face, and there is no entity that can hold and control the use of a Bitcoin private key - that requires agency which companies don’t have.

Companies have agents who act on their behalf. Those people when acting on behalf of said company are bound by laws which if breached will either send the agents to prison, or in extreme cases see the State revoke its charter and dissolve it.

This whole concept of corporations and legal fiction is only a few hundred years old.

Well done mate. We need more people to focus on how they “sell” these ideas to people outside of these circles.

Can have the best devs in the world but marketing and sales exist as disciplines for a reason - that’s how you get adoption.


Ethereum was the result of war-gaming Bitcoin. I don’t necessarily mean Vitalik was in a war-game with US Gov operatives and they sent him out to destroy it but rather they would have deduced the best way to attack Bitcoin was to surround it with shitcoins, that are full of scams, lump it all together under “crypto” (which sounds shady to people who don’t know what cryptography is), obfuscate the zero to one invention amongst a sea of garbage and hope that it just becomes unpalatable for normies to look into.

They can’t kill it now, they just want it to remain ethereal.


True but sort of circular logic in that the legal fiction of Microstrategy only exists of the State in the first place.


“Governments don't want us using Bitcoin as a currency because it's too hard to track for taxation. They would prefer we stored our value in a medium that they can control but if it's not a MoE, it's less of a threat to them.”

Tax is part of it, no more GST if everything is considered “P2P” at the PoS.

The bigger reason is the risk of deflation.

If enough people opted out of any given fiat currency to an alternative MoE, that fiat is going to deflate and die. Governments don’t want their fiat to die because they like printing money - in a war they will say they **have** to print else they’ll get outspent and defeated and in peace time they need it to buy off the electorate.

Any popular acceptance of Bitcoin or any alternative MoE is therefore an unacceptable (read existential) threat to Governments, if they can’t quash it before people adopt it then they are fukt, and these are people who only know how to operate in monopolies rather than competitive markets, they don’t want to have to innovate and service “Users”.

Always thought the US was the best example of this, still using cheques and drive-thru Banks and weird shit, no chip/pin for years - it makes sense though if you think about it, what need to innovate did they really have when they have the biggest monopoly on the planet? None. Meanwhile poorer countries have adapted mobile minutes and been using QR payments for years because their money is shit so they tried to reduce friction to keep it in use as MoE.


Microstrategy is a company and a company can’t hold Bitcoin, individuals do, so I agree with you on that. And yes they’re very much permissioned by the State - custodianship, FASB accounting, public filings etc. I very much get and concur with your opposition to corporations, they make little sense in a Bitcoin world but I’m talking from the fiat system lens.

Not sure I fully agree with “neutered the entire value proposition of Bitcoin”. Certainly not for other Bitcoiners, MSTR’s use/lack thereof doesn’t affect other Users so it hasn’t neutered anything (although re my last point I can see being on the opposing side to them in future).

But also NGU is part of the value prop of Bitcoin, and they’re definitely exposed to that element of it.


I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

But what difference would it make if we knew for sure he was? It doesn’t change anything about Bitcoin or the value prop of it, we already know we can’t stop our enemies from using it.

I guess the arms race to stack would heat up a bit more but other than that I don’t think much would change.


Just spent 2 weeks travelling in Asia where it’s all cash txs, they hyperinflated past coins years ago so just notes. Was carrying 3 different currencies in my trusty SatckSats wallet, ended up gifting the Opendime to a tour guide / driver who looked after us for 4 days.

I get why cashmaxis still value physical MoE. Asian cultures even have specific etiquette for handing over cash, like it’s embedded for them. There’s something more personal in that settlement than tapping a phone on a terminal.

Anyway I’ve still got a few of these handmade leather wallets for sale, down to just 69k Sats now Inc postage!

Because I’m not going to be word-policed by you or anyone else. Retarded is a fine word and deserves its place in the modern vernacular to describe a world that is, largely retarded.


To fully accept Bitcoin you have to accept that we’ve been fed into a fiat debt slavery system - that’s a lot for most people to come to grips with.

Little wonder it was anarchists and libertarians who were the first to adopt it, they already knew the system was fucked. Most normies don’t share that starting point


Not sure how IRS classifications are relevant to sound money? They don’t get to decide what has good moneyness and what doesn’t, they just make up and impose tax rules on things.


Saylor’s new line about #Bitcoin being “digital property not digital currency” is purely political and said for his own self interests.

His company is a prime target for BTC seizure, if Bitcoin does threaten USD hegemony they’re going to knock on his door first.

It’s in his interest that Bitcoin only be viewed as a SoV asset - more HODLers reduces liquid supply and pressures prices upwards.

If it becomes broadly used as MoE, regardless of what layer, that will agitate the US Gov and cause them to fight back more and he knows that increases the risk to him and MSTR.

Don’t naively buy the line just because he said it. Your interests might align with him today but you should expect to be on the other side to him on multiple things in future and this issue will be one of them. nostr:note1y6jqn06230v0wwcjpuwqnhjy8r84fx3ysagac772vlwl3997vtyq4wlr0n

That money Millennials have been saving for the 20% house deposit should all be going into Bitcoin.

If the average worker managed to save even 5% per year and put that all into Bitcoin instead of some long-term interest bearing account, they would actually have wealth.

Some maths:
- Average weekly salary in Australia in 2018 = $1,586 (assuming no pay rises)
- After tax they take home = $1,030.40
- Saving 5% of that over 5 years is $13,311 (nowhere near enough for a 20% deposit)
- DCAed into Bitcoin over 5 years they have $58,923.21 of purchasing power

So to answer your question, you start ASAP.

You DCA a minimum in and as you understand the “self fulfilling prophecy” of Bitcoin and your conviction grows, you should up your investment as much as possible. Our average Millennial example above is up 342% in 5 years.

You keep doing this until your Bitcoin stack is enough for you to opt out of fiat slavery.

You don’t go and make yourself exit liquidity for a Boomer, you realise it’s better to pay off someone’s mortgage via rent than to take one on yourself because that 10BTC house today will be 1BTC in 5-10 years by which time you could buy it outright in cash, and in that time your stack has grown and the pool of capital for the housing Ponzi to sell into shrunk.

The more Millennials who do this, the sooner the beast is starved to death, the sooner you’re no longer an average normie on a hamster wheel constantly battling inflation.

Most people want an instant solution but Millennials would be smart to lower their time preference and grind into the new system, that’s where real freedom lies.

They got slightly less fucked over than Millennials; lower Uni debt, better entry market for jobs, dating not ruined, kids not entirely unaffordable. But these things are best considered as a spectrum rather than absolutes - GenX still got screwed, Millennials got fukt and the Zoomers are given zero hope because they’re too late for Boomers needs so they don’t even matter.

The Millenial Dream

Go to school, study hard, get good grades so you’ll be accepted into University, go into debt for a degree or else you’ll be flipping burgers.

Get your degree and enter the workforce 50k in debt. Entry level jobs are impossible to find between outsourcing and the lack of practical skills Grads bring to the table.

Get lucky and find one, grind 12 hour days, pay half your income to the Government for Services you don’t use, pay increasing rents as the real estate bubble inflates, get promoted and job hop to bump your income to keep pace.

Save for a house deposit, 20% of the median house which is now 10x median income so it takes a decade, get there and it’s not enough for even a dogbox apartment let alone a house, now banks won’t lend to you with rates over 5%

Can’t afford kids. The food is killing you. Dating is ruined between instathots and red pill chuds. Get lectured daily by Boomers who don’t understand the world. Watch rampant corruption and cronyism destroy your politics, immigration destroy your community, and fiat destroy your purchasing power.

Fund wars you oppose. Bail out banks you hate. Pay welfare to ideologues who demand more and more nanny statism and taxation. Subsidise renewable energy which increase your power bills. Wait in long lines at the hospital for your subpar care.

Do all that in the hopes you’ll eventually be fortunate enough to be exit liquidity for some Boomer who sold you this dream..

Or The New Millennial Dream

Move as much of your wealth into #Bitcoin as possible. Watch the crumbling from the sidelines whilst starving the entire system and protecting your purchasing power.

Wait out the Boomers til your digital real estate on the ledger is the new asset in demand, then instead of selling it to them, take the reins over the system as the new financial elites and dismantle this entire shitshow. Eliminate the parasite class. Detach the welfare state. Reduce government to a competitive service provider which cant extract wealth at will.

Set entrepreneurs free. Let markets work. No more free lunches. No more cantillionaireing. No more nonsense laws.

One thing I’m sure of is this will open up new approaches. Maybe your art idea, possibly Aus gets its own Kimchi Premium, but I bet some scammers will try something too to fill the void.

The irony of the banks protecting people from scams only to make scams proliferate 🤦♂

In theory there aren’t restrictions on P2P transfers, I’ve not seen Bisq/RS be able to handle that kind of volume tho


#AUStriches are limited by the Big 4 Banks to $10,000 per month in transfers to crypto exchanges.

With #Bitcoin already at $100,000 dollarydoos, if a nocoiner started *today* it would take 10 months to become a wholecoiner (unrealistically assuming no price changes).

The number of wholecoiners in Australia 🇦🇺 is thus not likely to increase much if at all from here, particularly when the remaining banks follow the new industry guidelines and also impose restrictions on on-ramps.

Australians will look back on this in 5-10 years and realise what a colossal fuckup this market interference was, but by then it will be too late to do anything about it.

It’s time to accept the trajectory of this country is fukt. https://i.nostr.build/QGWv.jpg https://i.nostr.build/6kxK.jpg

I say this because Austrians use the correct approach whereas Australian Economists write nonsense propaganda supporting ever more socialist bullshit.

Quiggin is a fucking retard.

I mean, saying something “has no subjective value” certainly qualifies as retarded because it is objectively incorrect on its face, let alone looking at the Trillion dollar market cap of the thing he’s saying has no value.

It’s like he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “subjective” and then instead of a moment of introspection he just goes off on one as if his opinion matters.

It strikes me that people inherently understand the concept of “sentimental value”, that an item’s worth can be increased because of the emotional attachment someone has over it.

Yet they cannot grok the concept of “subjective value”, that we all impart different values on things based on our own perspectives.

Why are some people so fucking stupid?

The banks got together and decided to impose these rules after a nonsense report last year about scams in Aus. I read the report and linked it here at some point, they basically lied and used it as justification when the reality is “crypto scams” are tiny - they just relied on no-one bothering to check up on them and people not having enough resources to take them to court (Aus Big 4 Banks are all in the Top 10 largest companies in the country).

That’s how the system works - do shit and hide behind an army of lawyers such that if anyone is harmed it’s gonna take years and millions of dollars to get through the courts to overturn it because there’s zero punishment for them even if they do lose.

It sounds like you’ve got no rebuttal and hadn’t really thought through calling people taking photos at a conference, “surveillance”.


Not expecting anyone to disagree with you and be able to articulate why?


“If you don't care about it, it simply means that you don't care about the privacy of others.”

Wrong. I respect the privacy of others, I also believe you’re a clown if you think that every other human being on the planet agrees. If they did, we wouldn’t need curtains because voluntarily no-one would look inside anyone else’s windows.

You are trying to impose your views on other people which is antithetical to the values you’re espousing. No-one else is under any obligation to you, it’s not their job to protect your identity.

And this has nothing to do with “rejecting surveillance” - people choosing to go to a conference are not being “surveilled” by other people at the conference taking photos, that’s a stupid conflation on your part.

I see nothing in your post about the hotel/conference CCTV, the biometrics taken at the airport (face scans, fingerprints, gait measures etc) upon arrival, the actual real world surveillance we are all subjected to in public on a day-to-day basis which are things you could rightfully be upset about.

Railing against people who paid to attend the same conference as you is silly.

They exhibit the exact same behaviours as doomsday cultists who anticipate the rapture on a certain date that comes and goes, so someone rechecks the calcs and moves the date further out.

If Bitcoin faced a Black Swan and somehow got wiped out I’m certain many of us would do the same and cling on to it even if it was actually obviously dead; there’s something in our nature causing this that grifters are able to harness.


I can’t find the screenshot right now but the left leaning women skew highly educated, ie they spent longer periods of time at University. The longer they spend there, the more pervasive leftists ideas become, the more entrenched a voter base they become.

Abortion is a big topic for that cohort and it practically defines the politics for many of these women, they’re essentially single issue despite the fact they then gobble up viewpoints and ideology from the left side of politics, those topics pale compared to abortion which they treat as some hybrid of healthcare and self-autonomy.

US politics is to a large degree being held captive by feminists who want to abort unwanted pregnancies.


US elections are being decided by single women throwing in with the yuppie elites having been completely brainwashed by the parasite class.

When the pendulum swings back I fully expect women to lose the right to vote.

It’s one thing for that stuff to happen behind the scenes, for those games to be played, but there’s 27 million people who are supposed to believe in the shared fiction and when they drop all pretense of that mattering then we’re entering dangerous territory.

The parasite class have forgotten what the world looks like where danger exists to them. Used to be they’d at least lose access to the trough when their wrong-doing was exposed and people kind of accepted that as sufficient, now they’ve insulated themselves so much they DGAF and think this will be the permanent state of affairs where they are invincible.

They’re not, and the more brazen they are with this shit as they cause people’s quality of life to degrade by the day, the sooner something is going to break.

I’ve never seen as much nationalist rhetoric as I’m seeing out of rightists, nor as much noticing going on as the past 3-4 months. This isn’t the 1930s where you had to go to a political rally to be exposed to this stuff, you just open social media with your morning coffee and there’s a whole bunch of agitated people drawing similar conclusions to what they’re seeing.

Parasites think this stuff will be contained to the digital sphere; I don’t. Sure they have their massive internationally coordinated spying apparatus, but they’ve never actually seen a digital insurgency and how that would manifest in meatspace and I’m pretty sure they’re going to be massively caught off guard at some point.

The ETFs are effectively an API into tradfi regulated fiat that Bitcoin never had previously.

All the ballaches of exchanges which have a propensity to blow up are bypassed, and the learning curves with wallets and signing transactions avoided.

I think they’ll eventually get 6102ed and rek a lot of people but in the meantime it’s a blackhole accelerating Bitcoin’s ability to demonetise other assets.

Men in smoke filled rooms making decisions for the world is the old way of doing things, a small group thought they could do the same thing on Bitcoin and found out the hard way - You can’t brute force consensus.

The only way to change consensus is coalition building over time, explaining and educating how the changes align to individual incentives.

That’s why the supply cap won’t change - it’s in no-ones interests so no coalition of any substance will be built around it.


Changing the supply cap is theoretically easier than shutting Bitcoin down, but both involve making thousands of people distributed around the world adopt new rules at the same time which is practically impossible. At least for supply cap it could be agreed to over time whereas a shutdown needs to be coordinated simultaneously.

People outside of Bitcoin don’t understand the power of this decentralisation and how impotent it makes even the most tyrannical government or insidious cantillionaire who are used to brute forcing people to their whims.

Departed Siem Reap in #Cambodia today after exploring Angkor Wat and surrounding temple sites for a few days, one of my top bucket list items which Covid and the lockdowns of Australia kicked my arse into gear to get after.

There’s a rich history in this corner of SE Asia that most in the West don’t know. The #Khmer people went absolutely bananas building stone temples for a few hundred years and carving every stone surface there; the scale of it is incredible. Could spend months visiting the area and constantly be amazed.

Interestingly the name Siem Reap means “defeat of the Siam” in Khmer - the place where they kicked #siamstr back to their borders 500 years ago.

The only thing it doesn’t account for is the constantly expanding money supply, if this takes 10 years to play out you can probably double the numbers, if it takes 30 and a hyperinflation event then god only knows.

There are too many variables to come close to an accurate number. Even Everything/21M is tough because a lot of assets aren’t going to change hands and will be repriced both up and down over time.


Saylor’s view of the world doesn’t align with a lot of Bitcoiners, and whilst I agree with his first point I disagree with the second - Bitcoin wouldn’t have survived to where it is today without toxicity; it’s not holding us back, it got us here.

Fidelity have 70k employees so that isn’t entirely surprising. I similarly have friends at the banks here in Aus (~50k staff) who have no clue about stuff I raise with them, heavily compartmentalised at that scale.

If they’re gonna know anything though it should be the value prop / sales pitch

JPMorgan analyst believes the Bitcoin halving will see price drop to $42k on account of the impact to miner profits.

If it weren’t for fiat and the petrodollar system we would have abundant nuclear energy proliferation over the past 50 years - given the technologies which followed previous energy paradigm shifts, imagine what we have been cheated of just so the US could play empire..

Price in “local accepted” currency. The cost to re-do your menus every week for the coming bull run won’t be worth it with how many customers will actually pay in Bitcoin.

Keep this shit simple and take your lead from places that use dual currency systems. They tend to price in the most stable of the accepted currencies and convert at point of sale for others.

Unless of course you’re going for digital menus and handing customers iPads or something in which case you can list side-by-side prices.


Nocoiners who don’t understand how fiat works flip their lids about immigration in the West because they don’t understand that this 👇 is what those countries are trying to avoid at all costs.

Fiat requires constant growth. It doesn’t work with population deflation. Japan is already Uber-fukt, Western parasites think they can avoid the same fate (they can’t) and are desperate not to have the economy blow up on their watch else they and their donors won’t get near the trough for another generation. nostr:note14ahhhulvanlq2z29pc73gc90m7pnsep2xh7nun38zl8uka8pj47szpjy80

#Bitcoiners are simply saving money, and that is threatening the whole world order.

What is wrong with the world order that saving money threatens it so much?


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

Really? I’m yet to see that.

To date my experience has been how it makes your country, the one whose currency Bitcoin is replacing, the fattest fucks on earth, a nation of obese losers who couldn’t pass a basic fitness test because they’re all so full of fiat garbage that it’s actually impaired their ability to even think straight hence it’s people think they’re still strong enough to get non-Americans to listen to fucking Creed.


McDonald’s does kill you


It’s a stupid hill to die on, but I’ll do it.

It’s not happening


The higher the price goes, the more liquid Bitcoin is, the more able it is to demonetise (read: eat) other assets.

Countries can’t trade oil in Bitcoin today for example. $1.2 Trillion market cap with ~10% available supply isn’t nearly enough. At $21 Trillion it might be feasible at small scale but prob needs to be higher.

When countries start refusing to trade oil for dollars and instead demand Bitcoin because it is feasible by liquidity and infinitely better than the paper promises of fiat, the world starts shifting.

That means they need/want it on their balance sheet and as you know, they can’t print it.

Suddenly their balance sheet isn’t about printing to consume, it’s about producing to get BTC.

Governments **will not willingly adopt Bitcoin**. Be very very very clear on this.

They will be forced to by the market and the market can only force them when it’s liquid enough to meet all the needs that a government which doesn’t want to get run out of office and guillotined, has.

They are gonna print until printing gets them killed.

If nation states are to continue existing in 100 years it will be because they were forced into competitive service provision when their ability to print was taken away from them by market forces.

Personally I’d rather they don’t exist but realistically that is too big of a change in one go; separating money and state such that they’re a mere opt-in service provider who has to compete globally with other states will be enough to bring about a new enlightenment and that is enough for humanity to handle.

Bitcoin needs to demonitise the asset classes used to park fiat wealth and be liquid enough for nation state trade in order to force states down the path they refuse to willingly tread.


I was not aware of that on account of the fact I do not willingly consume fiat garbage 🤙


Sure you can.

Meanwhile the fiat system continues to pillage poor countries around the world through the IMF/World Bank and every government on earth continues debasing their tax slaves via inflation.

#Bitcoin is here to separate money and state. Completely and permanently.

That is the calling for this generation.

That is the modern equivalent of the 1700s “separation of church and state” - we have the equivalent task ahead of us in this super cycle with money which is today’s tool for enslaving the masses.

Bitcoin achieves this by becoming the preferred money on the market, and that happens by the fiat price continuing to rise until it is the default way value is measured across humanity where no-one wants to use fiat any more regardless of what the state dictates.


Excellent analogy - no-one with a brain consumes McDonalds.

You are pushing shit uphill here my friend.


If the price doesn’t matter, Bitcoin never separates money and state.

It has to eat the world if it is to achieve its ultimate purpose and that means NGU forever.


You need allies in a war, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed but traditional US allies have had a gutful of American hubris..

Bitcoiners are by definition betting against the US - you might want to wake up to what you’re *actually* hodling.


It wouldn’t be the first time, but I don’t think I am on this one!

Creed is too cringe for anyone who isn’t a yank. And yanks always forget this is global, you guys don’t run #Bitcoin, you run the global reserve asset that it’s replacing.


Not someone, an exchange that still has liquidity.

#DrainTheExchange

When they run dry spot price will be P2P - then you’ll get your god candle.


You can get all the Bitcoin Ben’s aligned and it won’t matter - Creed ain’t happening


The Kermit meme is without a doubt the best #Bitcoin meme going

Ugly and long, and no-one knows wtf they are looking at if they’re not on nostr.

Compare a nostrapp and njump and damus and primal and a habla link - there is zero congruence across anything. If a non-Nostrich clicks each of these they don’t know they’re all using the same underlying protocol and all effectively interchangeable.

Standardise on w3.do for shortlinks to begin. Most everyone knows that t.me links to Telegram - we should be trying to achieve the same for #nostr.


This 💯

And let’s support nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn and make w3.do the standard until another nostr-based competitor comes along.

If #nostr is gonna grow it needs better linking and overall more recognisable “branding”. I recognise that ain’t easy decentralised but some of the basic low hanging fruit is just being ignored. nostr:note1kckc35fqhneg82yxsq3ev2qcvxkw8wtudmuxjcly8ehztxz3d3csn43clz

#Japan was the first country to reach peak fiat when they blew up their economy 30+ years ago. It, along with the Yen has been on life support ever since, slowly dragging the country backwards as they wait for everyone else to reach the same point of collapse.

The knock-on effect has been an absolutely awful shift in demographics (see pic 2) culminating in 2023 having HALF as many births as deaths.

We are watching a country commit suicide in slow motion to maintain its economic fiction. https://i.nostr.build/8BPv.jpg https://i.nostr.build/lg5M.jpg
