You think CBs will all be jumping in immediately?


I think so.

Understandable that they don’t seem overly concerned about de-dollarisation if Gromen’s thesis is right and they’re planning to skip a gold re-peg and move straight to a Bitcoin peg eventually.

US can much more easily fuck with international gold settlements with their armed forces. They might not control Bitcoin but they don’t need to defend it like gold being shipped around, and they can get a big chunk and leverage existing network effects of the dollar.

Good luck being a HODLer in a Western country if that happens. Your Gov will come knocking in no time.

In the medium term it would also really help the US Government to have a pathway to pegging to Bitcoin, especially if Fort Knox doesn’t have the gold they claim it does and BRICS does properly bifurcate world trade with a gold-backed currency. Luke Gromen explainer in this note:

How would they do that? Well how does some gigantic ETF honeypots that could easily be 6102ed sound?

No-one is truly ready including me.

I’m pointing out that the preparation is not right.


No-one inherently deserves respect.

Ron Paul is too old to really grasp Bitcoin. Rothbard probably would have been the same.

That doesn’t diminish their accomplishments; neither would have OPPOSED Bitcoin in the way Schiff has.

That’s the difference.

Ron Paul isn’t a goldbug because he’s anti-Bitcoin - gold is the soundest money he understands. A 90-something year old bloke cannot be expected to think about the next 50 years and extrapolate the technology frontier forwards.

Bitcoin precedes Rothbard. He theorised a fixed supply money would be ideal but he never lived to see it. He probably wouldn’t have been an early adopter but he would have at least got what’s going on were he here to see it.

Today’s Goldbugs have all of the info available and the best starting point of anyone as to why Bitcoin is needed. But they are LARPing. They don’t want to end Central Banks, they want them to repeg to their heavy bags.

Real sound money advocates take the nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak line and upgrade to Bitcoin knowing everything else will be outcompeted.

Schiff won’t because of his bags.

His relevance depends upon pushing irrelevance.

Goldbugs don’t want to end Central Banking - they just say they do.


I’m not dunking on it.

Im arguing it’s gone full cycle. It started out as a collectible, became money, has been de-monetised and should now revert to collectible status that you might want to hold for trade in a really bad situation so you can relocate to a place where the soundest money is still available.


Nah I’m gonna disagree with you here.

Calling out the Fed printing money and the celebrating the appreciation of gold prices because Central Banks are hoarding it is disingenuous as fuck.

I agree.

There are real Bitcoiners who believe in the separation of money and state, who haven’t fully thought this through.

They think we can just insert our people into this system and stop the money printing by passing some legal tender laws and the rest will follow.

It most assuredly will not.

We’ve got to rebuild this whole thing. As ancap as I am, I recognise people want States, they want some shit just taken care of for them. We won’t succeed unless we can provide a construct for them which meets their needs.

That’s gonna make a lot of the more anarchist Bitcoiners uncomfortable. They don’t want power and that’s why only they can be entrusted with it.

Let the others cash out. Bitcoin is the means to revolution needed in the face of this globalist coup and we’re gonna see who is ready to stand up and be counted for what really matters.

Separating money and state is just the start.

If you think we can simply assume the reins of these States as they exist today, replace their monetary systems, and that will fix everything then you’ve got rocks in your head.

This whole world order has to go. The parasites have to go. The bureaucracies have to go. Their cult members have to go.

A whole new system built on a new economic order must be built and adopted.

We need 10,000 Lichtensteins. Probably 100,000. Absolute minimalist governments that just do the basics to keep regional societies functional but are so defanged they can’t bring this current system back no matter who takes control.

Bitcoiners will be the new financial elites. Wholecoiners better get used to the idea that they’re going to run shit because the current system is going to come for them if they don’t succeed.

Are you ready to see this through?


We are.


It’s a globalist agenda - it’s adoption and enforcement is not universally the same.

Developing countries haven’t got the resources to throw at this stuff for example. It’s the richer western nations much further ahead on the road to dsytopia


Unless a few tens of thousands in each capital are going to band together and bring guillotines to parliament, they’re not going to stop.

Both sides of the uniparty support this nonsense, as do the leftist fringe shifting the Overton window to outright socialism, and all of their mouthpiece media. It’s the same in every Western nation just to differing degrees on the spectrum.

So yeah it’s a case of leave, or accept that you live in a digital gulag where you can be thrown in an actual gulag at any point if they don’t like what they see you doing from their panopticon.

Leaving might seem like defeat, but then what would you call living under this system?

I get the real purchasing power, but in the real world 5% and 2% and 1% and 0.1% make a difference depending on timing of the investment because the parabolic happens to all market participants at the same time.

5% already invested vs 5% invested tomorrow makes a difference. And when you’re Apple, that difference is yuge.

Smart “investors” talk about time in the market vs timing the market.

Bitcoin hyperfocuses this idea.

Information is not equally distributed. By the time CFOs let alone CIOs in financial companies work out what’s going on, timing their risk adjustment will matter more than their allocation percentage.

This is all new paradigm stuff.

2% already invested by those German companies will look very different to 5% from the local takeaway at the peak of the next bullrun.

They think that without distinguishing features, an amorphous blob, there will be nothing to divide people and so their utopia can flourish.

They point blank ignore humanity’s tendency towards natural hierarchy. Even in their homogeneous vision, people will find ways to separate and form groups and those groups will once again have animosity toward one another and the cycle will repeat.

Destruction is all they know. They can’t harness inherent strengths, easier to just tear things down.

Physical separation from these people and ejection from society of anyone who reverts back towards these beliefs is the only way forward.

Providing my value in kind


Plenty who understand DIDs have already commented on the tech issues with this solution, I wanted to explain the business and market reasons this is DOA.

First of all, what problem are they trying to solve?

Email security is the first usecase they’re rolling out. Specifically addressing spoofing which is a real problem for Enterprises. Other usecases are mentioned for futures but clearly MSTR and Saylor believe - as he’s said many times - that verifiable identities will solve this business problem.

So what is spoofing? A form of social engineering which attempts to deceive a message recipient (typically email but increasingly Slack/Teams/Zoom are targeted) that a message was sent from a known or trusted source; usually by manipulating email headers or using lookalike domains.

Typically it is used by scammers for simple frauds by instructing people to act. Either by directing them to send money or gift cards, change banking details, or to get additional information they can use for downstream attacks.

MicroStrategy Orange seeks to help Enterprise avoid spoofing by authenticating a signature for a User’s email which is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.

As they reference in the keynote - signatures for email are not new. SMIME has been around forever and it isn’t widely used because it introduces its own set of complexities.

What enterprises ++have++ done for years is rely on Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) to reduce the volume of malicious emails reaching Users. This is a software layer inserted in the mail flow which inspects email for things like malware or malicious URLs by checking them against known bad.

This worked well enough for a long time and multibillion dollar companies such as ProofPoint and Mimecast were built around it. The method is not foolproof, *but their success is why scammers had to adapt and start using more social engineering attacks* because these are less likely to be picked up by a SEG which tends to look for malware hashes, low reputation domains etc.

Next Generation email security is already here and being adopted by Enterprises.

Abnormal Security is the leader in this new category. They intercept traffic and feed it into a cloud “AI engine” which analyses hundreds of data points per email - like Crowdstrike for email. It builds a baseline of what “*normal*” email behaviour looks like for each User in an Enterprise and then use these signals to look for abnormalities.

This starts with things like the IP address of the sender (*ie they always send from an office and now suddenly are sending from Russia*), and relationships (*ie the CEO who supposedly sent this has never emailed this lowly employee in Accounts Payable*), but goes much deeper.

They use language analysis to parse emails for things like urgency, calls to action, financial requests, as well as if the email matches the writing style of the person being spoofed (“*please do the needful*” won’t fly in 2024).

This is very powerful because it’s not reliant on a static list of known bad which the vendors need maintain, but rather is analysing signals in real time to pickup these modern threats where SEGs are weak and because it’s done in Abnormal’s cloud, they can cross-pollinate for their expanding customer base which constantly improves the tech for all.

If the email doesn’t meet a threshold score it simply won’t be delivered to the end user, the same as a SEG blocks emails with malicious attachments. **++This is what Security teams actually want++**, as it reduces the reliance on the weakest link - the End User - acting correctly (ie verifying an Orange signature) and simply takes the bad email out of their flow altogether.

Abnormal have taken the lead in this space with ProofPoint and Mimecast playing catchup, and others will likely emerge. But these are the tools that large Enterprises **are already adopting** to address this challenge.

No Cybersecurity professional is going to look at this Orange Check solution and see it as useful.

Their first point will be that which nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z pointed out - bad actors will be able to get their own DID so relying on them is futile.

Secondly, unless they are ubiquitous to the point company’s would refuse non-DID signed email, then they have to leave non-Orange Checked emails to User discretion which is exactly what they don’t want to do.

Finally if this approach was going to be feasible, Microsoft (MSTR’s biggest competitor) would have already made it work - they dominate enterprise email and would have baked this in to their offering - they’re not going to allow a competitor to come in and monetise a product in that space, that’s simply not how big business works.

**So what is the one chance that MicroStrategy has for this to be successful?**

They will need to get the US Government onboard as a large customer and lobby to have Cybersecurity compliance frameworks require it - ie Gov entities won’t accept incoming mail without it.

Compliance tends to create its own industry; in consulting, certification, and technology solutions.

The only way this gets broad adoption is if some US Government Institution sees an ability to price out Bitcoin transactions by pushing this non-monetary usecase and forcing others to join in by mandating DIDs, and Big 4 consultancies see an ability to create an industry around it.

I don’t know how they could justify that. Certainly for email they couldn’t, possibly for codesigning or internet access or something I guess they could try as part of “secure digital supply chains”.

So if these Orange Checks somehow do gain traction you can be certain, ++100% certain++, it’s not because the free market thought they were a good solution and actually solve a problem but rather because powerful entities want to kneecap Bitcoin.

Of all the things Michael Saylor could do with 1% of the only absolutely scarce asset in the world, deciding to go this route for his company’s first project on Bitcoin is incredibly strange.

It’s as if he hasn’t actually spoken to any customers about how they’re doing email security today and instead just rolled with an idea that sounded good on paper but is in practice, useless.

I’m doubtful it will go anywhere and will be *far more* sceptical if it actually does.

NOSTR IS CYPHERPUNK AF

There is a beautiful harmony between #Nostr and #Bitcoin that we are beginning to see flourish.

Bitcoin Devs are stifled by consensus. They do themselves no favours with how they approach changes, however I can understand the frustration of passionate people who feel restrained with adoption of some fantastic ideas.

Nostr provides an outlet for that creativity and brilliance. Here you don’t need anyone’s permission, there is no consensus, you can just go for it and the best ideas will rise to the top.

And by building on nostr you extend the usability of Bitcoin, specifically as a MoE. Adding more utility to its use as money, making the money more valuable, enticing more apps to be built to take advantage of this more valuable money with greater utility, making it more valuable…

This flywheel effect of the ecosystem growing and benefitting all participants will accelerate orangepilling in a way that we’ve never seen before. No need to have someone read a book, or dedicate hours to podcast, or understand fiat - they’ll simply be using Bitcoin in an unstoppable ecosystem where they’re free to pursue their interests without gatekeepers. ie How the cypherpunks envisioned the internet should be.

Nostr’s growth is what will open possibilities for Bitcoin development because we are going to see what *actually* needs to change, rather than just what some Devs *think* would be good to change.

Bitcoiners who aren’t on #nostr simply haven’t understood where the world is going. They’re busy dreaming about plugging hard money into fiat systems, begging permission from fiat overlords who will never allow it.

Nobody here need ask permission. There is no licensing, no PCI DSS compliance, no API permissions - and Identities can go anywhere, bring their social graph, bring their money, and plug in to whatever applications serve them utility.

Nostr is the development Bitcoin actually needed, and it’s Cypherpunk AF.

Today marks 500 days on #nostr for me.

To give you an idea of the growth I’ve been fortunate enough to witness in that time.

When I arrived we used to post lightning invoices as replies, separately open image hosts to upload memes in the browser, had no search capability, no hashtag follows, no community options, no long form options, a handful of clients and zero key management. It was rough around the edges but Bitcoiners could see the ingredients for something special here.

Now 500 days later we’ve got docs, spreadsheets, pastebins, blogs, Twitter clones, Reddit clones, Pinterest clones, Linktree clones, E2E encrypted DMs and Messenger apps, search engines, lists, polls, bookmarks, Spaces, Music, Video, Job boards, Marketplaces, Games, Media Hosting, AI image generation, data vending machines, lightning baked in everywhere, lightning prisms, ecash mints, subscriptions, wallet connects, key vaults, key signers, directories, communities, translations, backups, paid relays, external sharing, multiple client options for every OS, multiple language options, bridges into other protocols, and probably 20 other things I’ve missed.

The progress in just 500 days is 🤯

Very excited to see what the next 500 days brings!


#Bitcoin comes in for sharp criticism from one time BoJo side piece, Jennifer Arcuri!

How do people get on the internet, where the vast majority of finance and commerce already takes place, connect with people on the other side of the world, and claim that gold’s long history is proof enough that we’ll revert to that when fiat fails because Bitcoin has no value…

Internet native money, on the internet, the very medium being used to disseminate the message, no value…

It’s almost as if they haven’t even thought through their own argument. Jennifer reading notes here certainly hasn’t.

The peer pressure element is real: nostr:note1alvygnqz3w8sg8xzhcr8s0qgkxf2wr3nj6f7xf5kvs7vs8h0nrgsldmp3w

My missus had a lot of familial pressure, constant nagging by aunties and grannies and in-laws. From what I know her friends lacked that and got their behaviour reinforcement more from friends than family/community.

The lack of this dynamic certainly appears to be a major contributing factor.


Online dating is the elephant in the room.

As soon as anyone complains about it there will be anecdotes of the few people who did meet a partner that way, and flat out denials that it’s a problem.

After all, more people have more options so how could that be a bad thing?

Well exactly as you point out - tons of women get tons of attention so they believe they should shoot for the best of them and skew their expectations upwards, the high status guys get to shoot fish in a barrel, and then the bulk of otherwise eligible fellas get hung out to dry.

That there hasn’t been a significant backlash from “conservatives” in any Western country about these platforms but rather just complaints about fkn TikTok, shows that our “elites” are content with this breakdown in social cohesion so long as they can control the narratives.


Online dating exacerbated this problem so much. Because women get attention from a hundred men, and men give attention to a hundred women. So women will have repeated unfulfilling interactions with guys who really don't care about them very much.

It gives women the illusion that they can have their choice of men, and sets everyone up for repeated disappointment.

If all the single people could just get in the same room together, and everybody pick somebody, this would all work itself out.


UniSuper has been down for 4 days.

You may be right about their narcissism possibly making them bad parents (I do wonder how much this is a learned trait) but I don’t think these women are femcels.

They could get plenty of guys, they’re not remaining celibate, they’re just holding out for a level of man that maybe they had briefly a few years ago and think they’ll still find today.

It would be better for all of us for them to come back to reality and join the extended order rather than continue down this self-absorbed path but I don’t see it happening. The other women in their circles are reinforcing these attitudes and they’re kind of collectively going down with the Titanic.


They don’t grasp this dichotomy though.

The 8 had a sugarbaby trip to the US, business class flights and nice hotel for a week and the guy was off working all week - he just took her along as a side piece to bang at the hotel. She cried and complained to the friend group about how she felt used 🙃

It’s not that their expectations are just a bit over the top, that i could understand. It’s that they’re completely disconnected from reality.

They also don’t seem to grasp this basic numbers game of how many girls are competing for so few of these high status men. Talking tens or hundreds of thousands of women for every one of these men, none of those few whom have the spare time for that lifestyle they want, but the girls all seem to think they’ll get what they want eventually.


This is why my other half is actively seeking out new friends.

She sees that old group reinforcing the same behaviours which have led to them being single - like crabs in a bucket, as soon as one of them has some introspection and tries to deviate they all pile on with guilt trips and shaming to reinforce the group behaviour and pull the individual back into their line, it’s toxic AF.

She also tells me it wasn’t always this bad and that they’re getting worse as they get older, more aggressive about the reinforcement.


That’s funny. 2 of these girls paid a shitton of money for some new age dating course where they were taught the “Law of attraction”.

I randomly bought my missus some flowers last week which prompted her to show me the recently single one posting on Facebook trying to manifest flowers…

If only she had a boyfriend to buy them for her 🤷♂


The 8 has done some sugarbaby stuff so yeah. One of the 7s runs a successful business and has done well for herself.

Generally though I think it’s more about status signalling. People have had their expectations warped, they’ve seen influencoors and think they should have that life and anything less is “settling”.


Personally I learned absolutely nothing from my major, but I had mandatory units in law and accounting which I thought annoying at the time but have proved extremely helpful in my later career.

I’ve done some mentoring of Uni students in recent times and it seems they’re even less prepared for the workplace than I was on graduating - they’re not learning anything that will be useful and they’ve not had practical experiences to give them a grounding that employers would expect.

It’s a shame that it’s gone this way because we do actually need to educate people in some really complex things nowadays but the system is so captured and broken as to be largely useless in this form.


My missus has been branching out finding new friends but spent the afternoon with 3 of her old friend group.

Two 7s and an 8 - all very eligible girls.

All 3 of them single.

One of the 7s recently so - she’d been dating a fella for 2-3 months and he found out she was still on Tinder so he split. Her excuse was that they weren’t committed/engaged so he shouldn’t have had a problem - the other 2 girls agreed.

All 3 of them have ridiculously high expectations of what they want in a man. Basically nothing less than a multimillionaire rich guy with a sweet car and a six pack who will take her on regular holidays on a yacht.

These girls are broken. There are 9s and 10s coming up behind them who might actually snag this level of man, the handful of them that exist; these 7s and 8s who aren’t spring chickens any more are simply living a fantasy.

They only talk about what they want and have very little concept of what they can offer in a relationship.

I know there are plenty of broken fellas, expecting girls to behave like pornstars and put up with their adolescent behaviour - this is not some one-sided problem.

But this problem is unhealthy for all of us. Society’s stability is based on people pairing up, having children, and trying to produce value so they can create a better world for their offspring.

The whole thing breaks down when the pairing stops. I think a lot of the social issues we see around us are downstream of this point. It explains why statism is at all time highs. Why people buy in to existential crises like climate cultism or Covid. And why populism has returned.

The older I get the better I understand why religion has been so important to humanity; that institution is what anchored this part of the social order in every society for centuries and it’s absence is now acutely felt.

I hope those girls find a man, a suitable partner, and that we all benefit from them contributing to the extended order but man I really think this generation is going to have a big miss.


I reckon the whole University system needs to be torched, not just the funding model, but the way it’s used to import cheap labour and provide pathways for rich Chinese to get citizenship, whilst exacerbating the housing Ponzi and making rent unaffordable for young people.

The nonsense degrees is just a byproduct of wanting as many students through the door as possible and Unis having zero accountability for student outcomes beyond graduation.

It’s particularly acute in Victoria, “The Education State”.

If you want to defeat MMT, you’ve got to reframe it away from their control.

I suggest labelling it as Midwit Monetary Theory as I do and humiliating anyone who advocates this lunacy.

Now what llama?


Known cap of coins:

Bitcoin ✅
Monero ❌

Bitcoiners are not going to give up 21M for Monero. It’s that fucking simple.

Economics > Privacy.

Bitcoiners can always add better privacy. Monerobros cant add better economics.

Genuinely I hope Bitcoin learns from Monero. Monero won’t subsume Bitcoin because the network effects have already dictated the winner; the game is over and Bitcoin won long ago.

Monerobros can join Bitcoiners if they want. Some will, many won’t because we Bitcoiners have been cunts to many of them.

I get it, we’re a bunch of obnoxious fucks who on your own vector of privacy are worse off than you are.

Here’s the truth for Monerobros; you’re on a dead network.

Money centralises to one.

Monero is on borrowed time as is.

If Monerobros want to survive, they need Bitcoin more than Bitcoin needs them.

Bitcoin can add Monero features to enhance privacy - Monero can’t add Bitcoin Users to their network to sustain them.

So the question is - do Monerobros want to be part of the new paradigm? If so, they’ll work with Bitcoin devs and get their privacy added to BTC.

If they think they can go alone (this is no threat, this is game theory) then Monerobros can remain irrelevant and Bitcoiners will solve this eventually.

@Monerobros - time for you guys to decide. Are you joining us in the separation of money and state? Or are you gonna try stand alone with Bitcoin as one of your opponents?


lol 😂

If Spaceboi triggers you then you should really consider why you’re listening to Spaceboi rather than Bitcoin Maxis.


I’m not denying that.

My objection, and that of Bitcoiners, is the State in its current form.

We can’t just plug Bitcoin in to this fiat “nation state” system and continue this status quo.

If we are to achieve separation of money and state there will likely be a period in which this system tries to align itself to the future on Bitcoin by dominating mining (as Spaceboi wants) when they see the writing on the wall.

That doesn’t mean we Bitcoiners have to accept that as the new normal.

We should see it coming and use that as our time to go on the offensive for a new system, a better system. Not utopia, but not this status quo bullshit system either.

If we’re not ready to defeat this system we won’t. But if we’re serious about Bitcoin we will be ready and will.


Yeah, that’s what Spaceboi liked to say - if you haven’t read his propaganda you can’t respond to him and those who have and disagree, got blocked all the same.

Question for you:

Are you a Bitcoiner, here to seperate money and State?

If the answer is no that’s fine, we’re simply not aligned ideologically. I’ll call you a BitcoinBug in line with my worldview and we will not find common ground.

If the answer is yes, you do want to separate money and state, then we are ideologically aligned. In that case we can have a discussion as long as you like so I can put forward my case and you can put forward yours/Spaceboi’s but we are in agreement throughout that the State shouldn’t have a monopoly on money.


Midwit Monetary Theory is Keynesianism with postmodernism baked in.

It’s a synthesis of ideas.

Like the Commies, they learned long ago to never properly label things, never die on a hill (ie never actually have principles you can be tied to) - remain fluid so you can always retreat to justify your position and allow adherents to work their way to your justification.

They’re pushing a synthesis of fascism and communism. Fascism in actual governance of “liberal democracy”, communism (cultural Marxism) in politics to set the culture or at least, aligned to the cultural elites they want to select for.

The insidious thing is by the time normies wake up to what is going on, it will be irreversible. They don’t know how to apply lessons from history when it’s not directly (1:1) comparable (hence the obfuscation and synthesis) - their education doesn’t allow it nor do their information sources.

We’re going to have to defeat this shit head on because they’re not gonna stop themselves.


Spaceboi wants to play a very different game to what the Cypherpunks sought to play, and I’ve long since thrown in my lot with the Cypherpunks. Their vision is where I’ve set mine.

He’s a statist cuck. I’d get no kick out of anything he has to say because he’s not aligned with that.


Why would I read his Statist propaganda?

Bitcoin is humanity’s only hope to seperate money and state - this epoch’s single most important cause. On par with the United States being founded on separation of Church and State which for the time was the most important cause of that era. That battle was won and if you look around you’ll see it has run its course.

Spaceboi’s idea is for the State (in its current form) to harness Bitcoin to its own ends.

Bitcoiners are not here to reinforce this status quo system of nation states. We’re here to rebuild it from the ground up such that humans around the world can truly be free.

Spaceboi has no ideas that push human flourishing; his ideas are for adapting the status quo to a new paradigm and I have no interest in that whatsoever.


If you think we need nation states in their current form with “democratically” “elected” “Presidents” where we’re going, then you’ve not understood the game afoot.

Lowery for the guillotine for all I care. Statist cuck that he is.


Well played!

Your notes stand up on their own and that is what matters.

The idea they must be tied to some real world identity is from the Boomer realm who can’t conceptualise engaging someone on the other end they cannot visualise in human form.

I don’t see a world where Bitcoin wins without bloodshed regardless.

Whether that is Bitcoiners and their proxies, or normies revolting against fiat landing on Hyperbitcoinisation - either way, we can wish for a peaceful revolution but that is extremely unlikely IMO.

In any case, MMTers are NGMI. Can’t have postmodern Keynesians occupying key positions trying to undermine a new regime in which their ideas are completely defunct.

And if Bitcoin doesn’t win, the regime will need a new economic formula to propagandise and MMT simply won’t suffice.


Interesting. I’ve never seen that game. Strikes me as closer to Hearts in terms of gameplay than Crib on reading that but I guess with the 5s it’s close to Crib too.


Played a lot of crib when I was younger. Helped me learn how to handle defeat because I often got skunked when I first started.


MMTers are not going to come out the other end of this. They think they will because they’re propagandising on behalf of the regime, but that is precisely why they won’t.


I’ve copied your post again 😂

Sorry mate. Again, didn’t see this before I posted.


Point well made and taken.

These are not static games though. Actions result in a cascade of reaction/action/reaction/action.

The world looks very different when Bitcoin is more valuable than gold.

Sure Saylor is superrich, but he remains flesh and bone. And there’s also a cohort of anarchist/anti-state/GFY people who have more wealth than they could have ever imagined with their own incentives to protect it.

This IMO is what the regime is trying to get ahead of. They know there will be a new financial elite, a diaspora of people who have an idea of their game and already oppose it who suddenly have the means to start doing something about it.

That’s the real threat.

They could manage a global reserve transition if they held most of it (see UK->US) - they can’t if their unpredictable enemies do.

Yes it’s absolutely a social phenomena, it’s why I keep talking about Identity. This game is going to require coordination which is like herding cats in a decentralised system; this is the incumbent regimes strongest card.

But they’re not going to shake out enough people in this space to just roll in and have their way unopposed.

These are merely the first shots fired in a long war.


These people have families and decades of life ahead of them - I blame no-one for preemptively protecting themselves from despotic regimes.

Smart people ought do that wherever possible.


Is that a leather jacket or a cow skin?


Yeahnah. Saylor might control over 1% of the coins but he’s flesh and bone like every other person with private keys in their head.

Not because I think he’d turn people over to US Gov, but because I don’t see him leaving office. A benevolent dictator today is just a dictator tomorrow when things don’t go his way.

So maybe short term it’s a solution for those devs if they want to continue working on their projects but it’s entirely possible the US will destabilise ES again.

A) El Salvador the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender who are seeking to bring in 5000 experts; led by Bukele whose track record is locking up alleged gang members

The “bureaucracy” has expanded to “bureaucracy and friends” where aligned groups become parasites attached to the parasite government, consuming the host economy. https://i.nostr.build/dwY9v.jpg  nostr:note1su2vv7q5ur8m2077k938rq6alwtm6m23e90fu2z8859wznszsscs5dgzgg


Roger Ver just got done 10 years after he renounced his citizenship - how do you think it’s gonna go for Saylor if he wants to leave?

He has no intention whatsoever of leaving, he’d already have started making those moves if so.

No, he’s signalling that he will play ball with the US Gov and not push Bitcoin as money which threatens the regime.

It’s true.

The Roman Empire essentially morphed into the Catholic Church. It’s difficult to see it through a modern lens where so many are atheist/statist but they were the ones who controlled Western society for over a thousand years. Just look at the power they held over Kings, King Henry VIII being a good example.

As for England, yes. Theirs was the first major “transition” of superpower where the incumbent wasn’t defeated - they basically became a silent partner in the US via banks. Look into Keynes, and the emissaries the Poms sent out to the colonies to take over banking.

Yeah I agree, I don’t see this going anywhere in terms of use as enterprise identity is already a nightmare and this does nothing to make it easier, but we are gonna see Saylor’s rhetoric shift with this and the inscriptooors are already jumping on it saying he’s validated their horseshit

Looks like Saylor is shitcoining on Bitcoin.

“The Bitcoin Inscription DID method (did:btc) uses the bitcoin blockchain exclusively to store and retrieve DID information. UTXOs on chain are used to control DIDs. Inscribing data in the witness of transactions allows for greater extensibility and verbosity when creating DID documents, while reducing fees and block space consumed.”

The parasites of yore were at least properly educated. They knew the subtle arts of persuasion, how to use limited hangouts, how to obfuscate certain truths and bring others to the fore. They studied history and the classics. They understood propaganda and psychology. They actually knew the political theory of their ideology. There were plenty of evil people amongst them, 100% of them were self-interested, but there was at least some coherence and talent and brains to what they did.

The current parasite class are mostly just retarded. They think they have rhetoric but they don’t, and there is not an iota of charisma amongst them. The old antiques dealers in the China shop have been replaced by bulls and they wonder why they’ve lost control - sure we all have access to a lot more information, but they’re not just stealing valuables, they’re trying to destroy everything too.

They’re all just incredibly pathetic.

I’ve been around plenty of this crop of Aussie elites and not once felt awed or that I was in the presence of genuine intelligence. I see plenty of that in the private sector, plenty of real gravitas and people who you’d pay to listen to but there are very few amongst the parasites of today who could stand amongst previous generations and not be humiliated out of the room.


These people never think of second and third order effects of anything.

They’re purely driven by emotions, feels over facts all day long.

Update - two 20-something girls came back to the car this afternoon, before they left the driver darted back around the corner and came back with something she wrapped around her shoulders a few seconds later.

Driver girl looked a bit dishevelled and had been crying. Asked if they were ok and they both said they were fine and left.

Glad my neighbours didn’t totally ruin their day.

Funny how these things tend to resolve themselves without the need for the state to go imposing massive fines. nostr:note10g7089rmk2p4ln58f4a9gs7ljfff0vu37379nt6eq8cw6vzyfgjqwhs76k

Survey conducted DEC23 but released in APR24 shows 74% of Australians surveyed want lower net overseas migration, with 49% wanting much lower or zero net migration.

Only 14% want the current high immigration rates to continue - Greens polled 12.55% at the last election and have picked up a bit since then so there’s little wonder in who exactly supports this lunacy. https://i.nostr.build/AaBGo.jpg  nostr:note1d5rpr8nxqvhfsfx8slyt0d2hzq8qen583sdcs4g8jxayp5m4gvzq72hufl

Our parasites are basically playing Russian roulette with the economy. Pump it as hard as possible and hope you can kick the can so the bust doesn’t come on your watch.

We all know whoever cops the bust will be sidelined for a generation so methinks Labor will go one term and handball the grenade back to the Libs.
