Far out. Banks are actually beyond useless at this point - they’ll stop you getting your own money out, demand reasons for why you’re withdrawing, and actively curtail your ability to send to an exchange but we both know they’ll do three fifths of fuckall to reclaim your losses here.

Without a card there are some ATMs that will allow ApplePay withdrawals but that would be harder to forge than skimming a card I imagine.

Will they at least tell you which ATM it was withdrawn from?

Interested in your experience having au pairs as a kid if you feel like sharing?


Id be particularly interested in including SE Asia though, but not sure if it would work culturally because of how different family structure is and parent/child dynamics. Might be a bit too much culture shock for some.

Still, there’s a much greater upside for learning and personal growth there.

I feel Bitcoiner families might at least have some shared values as a starting point that could help bridge that gap to make it feasible?


Thoughts on Au Pairs?

Bitcoiners seem like they’re single-handedly going to stop population collapse with all the kids they’re popping out so I wonder how people view having in-home help like this alongside the cultural exchange side of it?

Do you think it would be worth setting up a Bitcoiner au pair network to help our young people experience new cultures and expose young children to different views and languages?


If the people aren’t benefiting from it and instead the government is debasing the currency and justifying ever more parasitic jobs, what good is the sovereign wealth fund to those people?

Identity theft is not a joke maybe cyberhoodlum


Gov’s intention might be to help their friends but that’s not how this will play out in reality.

It benefits existing holders whose coins will go up in value and who aren’t gonna suddenly sell to “accredited investors” just because some new rules were introduced over an asset the gov and their cronies can’t control.


Restricting access to the only absolutely scarce asset to ever exist which can’t be controlled by governments is about the dumbest thing governments can do.

The youngest millennials are now 27 and the oldest 42 - theyre not moving back in with their parents at that age, especially not Boomer parents who believe they’ve already done their duty and want the empty nest.

You appear to be confusing Zoomers (ages 11-26) who will be stuck with their parents (who are largely GenX and some Millennials) with Millennials.


Fine if some relays/clients want to do that. I’m not anti-walled gardens in general, I can see good reason for limiting and restricting access to certain areas of #nostr but doing so platform-wide with KYC being the filter like Xitter is doing is not the solution, that’s going to kill interactivity and this the platform whereas nostr doesn’t have the level of engagement to kill off and being an open protocol means it would play very different here.


Millennials are at the front of that curve though. They’re the ones who will experience the layoffs first (given they’re now the largest working/tax paying cohort) and they don’t have the assets/savings buffers that Boomers (to a lesser degree GenX too) possess.

We’ve been in the workforce for 15-20 years and have gotten nowhere because the economic system was already so debased by the time we arrived. We literally started out getting fucked over by the GFC and the housing Ponzi was already in full flight by then so government isn’t a solution for the Millennials, they’re increasingly recognising it as the problem.

Millenials are the Hero archetype in the Fourth Turning, they’re the generation who will step in to set the course for the next cycle.

More likely we’ll be the ones who say “fuck your housing Ponzi”, go all in on Bitcoin, and wait for the Boomers to ride the crash and we’ll pick up the pieces in the next 10-20 years.

Lyn’s book is up next and Fraudcoin is on my list but a ways down - thanks for the suggestions! But as you said that’s not really what I’m after.

Specifically I want to see what money was in use during a time period, say the 1500s, in various places around the world and then have geopolitics overlaid on that.

So if the Spanish Real dominates as the global reserve during that period, who else was using Silver? How was gold being used? How were copper and brass and zinc and paper being used? Which nations/kingdoms were debasing their rivals? Was there some really poor currency (ie glass beads) in use at that time and a better currency just hadn’t found it’s way to displace it yet?

Reading up on Asian history has led me down some rabbit holes but all that history is very disconnected and more focussed on conquests than the money.


Is there an authoritative history of money out there?

Ideally something which discusses the various forms and external influences across regions and time?

For sure. Euthanasia has had very high public support for years in Aus, upwards of 70%, and our Boomers are leftie as fuk - they’ll eventually demand it and completely ignore how it has gone in Canada.


Nothing is ever unprovoked. Humans selectively choose how far back in history they want to go based on their preferred narrative - we all do this.

Should we relitigate the Balfour Declaration? There’s a whole bunch of prehistory to that too, do we go back to Weimar? Earlier?

Hell if you want to look through history and the expulsion of Jews from various places (ie why they might have wanted a sovereign nation) we’re going to need to learn centuries of history and all of the context for that. Then there’s going to be arguments over which history is accurate and which is propaganda.

All I know is I don’t trust M5M nor the State. The lack of coverage of Israel’s atrocities for years whilst every day there are screeches about “antisemitism” and then suddenly every Hamas atrocity is shown unfiltered everywhere, when apparently Mossad had no intelligence about this despite being the best intelligence apparatus in the world, it’s all bullshit and serves some powerful people’s interests to the detriment of everyone else.

You and me and the average person in any country - we don’t benefit from this, we collectively suffer, some more obviously and directly than others but by factionalising us means those in power have carte blanche to keep going.

Glad we at least have #nostr where we can voice opinions without anyone being able to rug us.

Apple trying to kill zaps has so far led to:

- Users ditching iPhones for GrapheneOS
- a sideloadable iOS app
- new PWAs they can’t censor

- Jack looking at a whole new phone

This is why I love Bitcoiners; tell them they can’t do something, try to restrict them, and they’ll just find multiple ways to get around those restrictions.

Like the 4chan energy of old, harnessed towards positive ends.

Ironically Marxists are usually the ones to frame definitions on their terms..

Capitalism, as a means of producing capital goods is fine but only in a laissez faire free market, zero government intervention in any of it else the whole thing gets skewed - I’m happy to work with that.

I’m not accepting corporatism or cronyism or fascism in my definition though, which many do.

We still see capitalism in small startups but the large ones are all cronies who become fascists (who funds Musk and Thiel?) by means of corporatism (broad regulatory environment, high taxes etc)

Have to see it through a real modern lens.

Capitalism, *actual* capitalism over 10,000 years got us here today in spite of the zealots, monarchs, communists, socialists, fascists,  statists and corporatists.

Building wealth for the future allows innovation to catch-up to wealth, that progresses all of us. This wealth bubble in real estate and stocks and bonds won’t last..


Bitcoin replaces the State at the speed of the internet.

The State as it exists today, “liberal democracy”, operates little above the speed when it was established 300 years ago.

Bitcoin’s supply will only grow about 7% in the next 117 years - no-one can change this issuance schedule.

The US Dollar money supply has increased by 35% since March 2020 - banks will keep printing new dollars until it hyperinflates and The Fed will do god knows what.

It’s literally just a matter of time.

I like the simplicity of nosbin. When you think nostr is a social network and see a pastebin replacement it makes you think what else is possible.

Verified Human I thought was a great idea too, can see space for that in future.

CivKit is interesting but I’ve not played with it much. Some of SuperTestnet’s stuff looks very cool too.

Most promising are the ones that use nostr as a protocol to glue other things together. Content + Lightning + Nostr - there’s a shitton of opportunity just there.

Looking forward to seeing innovation around nostr identity management!

Yeah seems pretty arbitrary. $300 is the average monthly salary in Sri Lanka, that would be a lot of money there. It’s 10X the monthly salary in Afghanistan so that would be a shitton to keep in a custodial wallet for them!

Treat it like cash in your wallet - don’t carry more than you’re willing to lose the same as you wouldn’t carry more cash than you’re willing to lose. Much easier rule of thumb and scales to everyone per their own individual wealth and preferences.

Increasingly think there’s something to this..

Mainly because the alternative is blood in the streets and repressive government for the rest of the century; the ratchet only goes one way and the commies have demonstrated time and again they do not know when to stop. I mean they took the gay marriage movement and instead of accepting the W within 8 years they made every evangelical Christian look like Nostradamus because they couldn’t control their progressivist notions.

Liberal Democracy is basically the weaponisation of NPCs by the parasite class against the productive class.

Indoctrinate people from childhood through their early 20s with statism, reinforce approved narratives via M5M, frame the Overton window between two narrow poles of statist authoritarianism, quash any dissent that arises and impose censorship, then pretend like all the policy enacted is simply the will of the people regardless of how few actually support any of it.

Those able to break free of the programming see it for what it is but are powerless to do anything against the mindless masses who prefer to bicker over which colour ties the authoritarians are going to wear whilst they loot the treasury. The parasites are happy because no-one challenges their actual power and they’ll be gone from office by the time their shenanigans are revealed whilst the productive class simply tries to keep pace with the ever-eroding purchasing power being siphoned away through inflation rending them unable to focus on removing the cancer.

It’s every bit as unsustainable as the Soviet Union was but we tell ourselves we have ‘freedom’ which merely obfuscates what percentage slave you are to the State under the illusion of having a say with your vote.

It took 150 years to come up with better money in #Bitcoin, it’s time we came up with a better way of organising ourselves than giving leeches with a monopoly on violence all the power. nostr:note1kwu7jz66nye6el0f8kmkcnajkr0ztyk9xuyrltqr7za5656j7yvqad6z6d

Agree with you, P2P is difficult outside of OTC. That needs to improve but it’s downstream of other avenues like small biz being exchanges.

Canada has Bull Bitcoin where you can unKYCed buy $1000 of BTC at the post office and post offices have famously had to pivot into all sorts of sidelines after email disrupted them.

In Aus we have “newsagents” as the catchall in every town that sells newspapers but also typically lotto, tobacco and accessories, cold drinks, sodastream refills, gifts, incense, they are the delivery point for various logistics companies, do passport photos etc.

In SE Asia I could see gold dealers who do currency exchange, metals, antiques, pawn, phone top-ups etc. taking on Bitcoin exchange.

What would this look like in Africa? Or Europe?

Feel like that’s needed before robust P2P exchange can emerge.

Miners aren’t going to fork off, they still need the nodes for consensus and there is absolutely no will for drivechains amongst noderunners.

Drivechains aren’t happening so I wouldn’t worry about it.


Blackrock is used to a world where it’s size means power.

That doesn’t apply in Bitcoin consensus. Their node is no bigger or more relevant than any other. They might be able to make more noise in the media or find more FUD but they can’t directly decide anything other than their own ETF and a Bitcoin ETF using non-Bitcoin is gonna fail.

Likely they just have no concept of what is possible today in the Bitcoin ecosystem and haven’t had a need to think through this level of resilience to their model.

Bitcoiners think differently. This video from nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p is a great example of adversarial thinking and planning for different levels of threat. https://youtu.be/X_xgmVLyB94

If you listen to the top economists then the economy is fine, some people need to lose their jobs and others need to get squeezed out of their mortgage and that will solve all the problems but nobody could possibly have seen inflation coming and actually, inflation is a good thing because deflation would be the devil..

If you listen to some random Nostrich who has self-learned economics via Bitcoin they could dismantle that argument and they would be far closer to the truth than any of the top economists.

Credentialism doesn’t work in this age and the fiat system is 1000% reliant on that old model. Whilst we haven’t quite achieved Neo “I know kung fu” levels of learning yet, anyone can learn practically any thing to a good level now with the internet and then suddenly average people are able to see through gatekeepers deceptions.

People don’t achieve that by looking for consensus, they form directional opinions by accumulating various viewpoints and synthesising them to as coherent a narrative as possible. Yes their circles influence them but no-one agrees with their circle 100% of the time.

I don’t agree with a lot of the people who I’ve learned from however being able to pick wheat from chaff is how humans learn, iteratively; it’s the exact opposite of the fiat system where it’s assumed that if one is informed of something by the regime’s selected experts that they are being told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and they must swallow it whole - that person must be right because they have this degree from this prestigious University and have this high job title at this renowned institution and they wouldn’t get the chance to speak to this well known talking head on the TV if they were, wrong..

The world hasn’t adapted to this new paradigm. The parasites only know top down control so they’re flailing in denial that the world has flipped, and the newly learned people haven’t managed the narrative control of the previous masters so we’re stuck in a weird limbo where people trust Joe Rogan more than a Nobel Prize winning Economist like Krugman, and guess what - Rogan is closer to speaking truth than the credentialed Krugman.

This is existential for the regime now. They’re not going to survive in this size and scope so they’re robbing the silverware as people wake up. We’re going to see a massive shakeup of both intellectual and financial elites and it’s about time too.

Bitcoin is money

Economists like Per Bylund and George Selgin say Bitcoin is not money because it lacks the Medium of Exchange (MoE) property of money. That is to say, Bitcoin is not money because an arbitrary number of people do not use it as such.

This is a nonsense argument. An argument that is equivalent to excluding “things people need to live” from CPI ala Krugman.

In this place that is #nostr, people have chosen Bitcoin as their preferred MoE. My local currency is AUD but that is practically useless here - there is no real way for me to send/receive tiny fractions of that currency that are useful here, and the participants in the economy of nostr likely wouldn’t want AUD for the most part.

That i can’t send/receive AUD on nostr does not make AUD, not money. 26.5M people use AUD every day, obviously that is money.

But where do they use that money? In Australia. With Australian businesses. For Australian goods and services. They don’t try to buy Pho in Hanoi or Biltong in Joburg with AUD, they don’t try to send value over nostr with it, it is a tool for a time and place.

Bitcoin is money for the time and place of the internet. The internet is a global network with 64.5% adoption across 8.1 Billion people, it’s not subject to jurisdiction in the same way that fiat money is.

The internet-connected pho seller in Hanoi can accept Bitcoin if they choose and maybe use that money to buy some Biltong from the South African online. That they don’t currently do this does not make Bitcoin, not money.

Bitcoin as MoE is currently largely used for online use cases. That is today. But when a history of Bitcoin is written in 50 or 100 years no-one thinks these days are going to just be ignored. A history will not be measured from an arbitrary “it was a MoE for a large percentage of people” point forward the same as the internet won’t be measured from today’s 64.5% adoption forwards.

The case that it’s not widely enough used as MoE to qualify as money is simply their projection of their own unqualified arbitrary threshold. They are valuing their own basket of goods in Bitcoin and because they don’t use Bitcoin to buy anything, they dismiss its moneyness. They don’t receive zaps on nostr, or buy their meat from the butcher with Bitcoin. They’ve never orangepilled a pho merchant or a Biltong seller to transact in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn’t become money when it reaches an arbitrary adoption threshold which satisfies Bylund or Selgin. It becomes money to Bylund and Selgin when they use it, the same as it is money to anyone who already uses it or who chooses to in future.

It is possible that we are early but it is certain they will be late.

Even if Bitcoin ‘fails’ and becomes the global de facto blackmarket currency in a world of CBDCs, it’s going to be better to have been early in the fixed supply of 21M than late.

The price to pay for hubris resulting in being wrong is going to be interesting to witness. https://i.nostr.build/lnxB.jpg

I don’t think normies want to change the Marxists minds, not in the sense of having a reasoned discussion and getting them to see things differently at least. I think normies just don’t want to be engaged with them, at all.

They want to be left alone to live their lives with their families. It’s the fact they can’t do this without constant encroachments from the leftists that is causing the problem, they’re given no respite from people whom they don’t even want to think about in the first place. Throw in government supporting these fringe positions and it becomes impossible to ignore.

Today I saw clips of them telling Muslims to ‘go home’ - the same people a month from now will be protesting on behalf of immigrants! When anyone raises the obvious dichotomy they’ll be shouted down as racists and it’s this forever-gaslighting in the censorship environment you mention that will see things break, you can’t keep people in a perpetual state of anxiety where they’re fearful of the repercussions because they missed this weeks latest “current thing”.

And none of them will see it coming. They’ll claim any attack is unprovoked (ala Russia in Ukraine), and the incumbent powers will go SUPER hard when the snap happens to try and make an example out of anyone involved (ala Jan 6) which all that means is now you’ve got a dog who has been trained not to growl, who has attacked, and probably figures they might as well go all the way because they’ll have hell to pay if they don’t win.

This isn’t a standoff that ends after a few scuffles, it ends with either the government stomping out all dissent and creating a totally compliant populace, or the government being overthrown and their vanguard being run off such that none never dare advocate that ideology in public ever again.

That’s what I find concerning about it. It’s not even that the Marxists ‘win’ and get what they want - A totalitarian right wing putsch will be every bit as bad and probably send cultural norms back a hundred years if they get their way. Basically we’re headed to one of two very shitty options that really no one other than tiny fringes of extremists actually want.


These largely aren’t teenagers to whom Marxism appeals because they’re broke and it sounds good after smoking pot and reading the communist manifesto - these are people who have been institutionally indoctrinated into Marxism. They’re beyond the point of a wake up call, they’re on a path that they’ll carry on til old age because their lives are intertwined with it (see how many of them live off taxpayers and couldn’t produce anything if their lives depended on it).

The Jimmy Dore socialist types aren’t going to counterprotest parents claiming your kids are theirs. He’s a different beast than the vanguard.

But that’s why I say you don’t want to be around when this snaps because those who do snap aren’t going to take the time to differentiate between the different species of socialists, they’re just gonna purge the fuck out of everyone on the other side. Dore wouldn’t be stupid enough to associate with them - many boomers are though, and they’re too naive to handle real conflict.

That time is coming. They won’t stop antagonising. They won’t negotiate. They won’t back down. They will keep pushing until they either get what they want, or they are violently confronted and stopped from getting what they want.


The Marxists of Canada believe own the schools and the kids!

These absolute pond scum lose their mind if one plant has a swastika flag in a crowd whilst they go around promoting their ideology which killed 100M+ in the past century laying claim to other peoples children..

That they feel it necessary and a good idea to counterprotest literal normies tells me they’re going to overstep soon enough. Some might say they already have but I would contend that when they do, the reaction will be unmistakable.

Because Marxists don’t just go away on their own. The revolution is perpetual, it marches ever forward and those mindless fuckwits are stupid enough to have their minds moulded to a new current thing every month if that’s what the regime needs from them.

So don’t fool yourself into thinking we’re just going to live alongside them in harmony, agreeing to disagree - that is a foreign concept to them. They are going to have to be dealt with at some point and it’s not going to be good for anyone involved. https://v.nostr.build/zgqZ.mov

We’re going to have some major challenges with privacy in the coming decade and no one in the parasite class, and I mean NO ONE, is prepared to actually tackle these problems in good faith with a long term view on what is best for people.

“Governments decided that primary education should be a public service, so they setup and pay for schools.”

No, the Prussians got their arses handed to them in wars so they decided to indoctrinate children to grow up to be obedient little soldiers via state schooling, other major powers took note of the effectiveness of manufacturing mindless drones and copied the model, now every nation happily indoctrinates children into whatever worldview the government of the day is pushing.

American students used to do duck and cover drills when the government wanted to scare the shit out of everyone over the Soviet Union. They had kids recite the pledge of allegiance to engender nationalism. Now they teach them that everyone is racist and the climate is going to kill us all - 100 years ago they wanted warriors, today they want culture warriors, they use the same means to achieve both.

This is the problem with thinking the government is benign - it’s not. It never is. It’s a power centre which will ALWAYS seek more power to its own ends.

Just because there are teachers in the system who genuinely care about kids or bureaucrats who do and want them to learn doesn’t actually mean anything. The system itself from first principles is the problem because it has corrupt incentives.

“They regulate companies so they don’t send out chemicals in our environment that cause cancer.”

They claim to do this and yet we have carcinogens fkn everywhere. Our food is covered in god knows what. We can’t smoke a plant but we can smoke cigarettes. We are mandated to inject ourselves with untested shit that causes god knows what by the very same authorities that you believe are protecting people.

The system which is supposed to protect us is built on crooked foundations, the incentives of participants are to loot as much for themselves as they can whilst they have the power and pay nothing more than lip service to goals in the process.

Look at the outcomes as opposed to what things say on paper. You’ve got that left-wing approach which is guided by “ideals” or “what ought to be” which simply does not map on to “reality” of “how it actually is” which is the more right-wing lens. It’s not actually left vs right, but this is how those with power prey on people, they know they can make emotional appeals and those with the “ought” lens will always swallow it.


I’ve not played with Jade, what are its “multi-tool” functions?


Mike’s anti-ancap schtick didn’t work out well for him on #nostr, he came across clownish.


The ARR model has come to the fore because of Wall Street. It’s a requirement of the debt based monetary system to have forever growth and that’s a lot easier on recurring subs rather than large capital expenses.

There would be no need for this on a Bitcoin Standard, we could once again own things rather than perpetually rent them


Bitcoiners helped the term ‘fiat money’ enter the mainstream. People understand  it now as money backed by nothing.

We now need to pass the Cantillion Effect into the public consciousness. It’s effect should be as clearly understood to the normie as the effect of gravity, and it’s impact as an inescapable law of reality in which those closest to the ‘fiat money’ printer benefit most whilst everyone else deals with the inflation should become pervasive.

The Cantillionaires who make money off war, in banks, and pharma - where crony capitalism encouraged by ‘fiat money’ is at its most blatant; give them that name.

A label. An economic slur.

Apply it liberally to every corrupt politician, businessman, banker, bureaucrat, talking head or other parasite who perpetuates this system which sucks the purchasing power directly out of wallets.

When the printing starts up again there must be no doubt as to who benefits nor clarity as to who is paying.


Oh I’ve been demonetised 😱

Well I’ve remonetised myself and cut out the middleman, next problem?

Of course that’s what Russell ought do but everyone’s busy having a sook and distracted instead of getting out from under the megacorps thumbs. #Bitcoin is there and waiting https://i.nostr.build/4E3r.png


Digital content, subscriptions, article paywalls - vision is basically to add financial rails between user’s social graphs and take a clip / provide services around it.

Basically he wants to take #nostr and centralise it. And he wants to do it with the fiat system using dollars or at least something convertible to dollars with legit on/off ramps. That means everyone has to be KYCed to participate.

Except imagine if nostr had like 5% lightning wallet penetration - there’d be practically no zaps right? Need wallets to be ubiquitous to make it work.

Well that’s what Xitter is facing. Sure the creators will KYC to get paid but people don’t want to validate their IDs just so they can ‘zap’ cents to some influencers tweet. Well without that they’re not economically connected to the social graph, basically the vast majority of the network is ‘unzappable’ so he’s gotta find a way to onboard them or it’s dead on arrival.


Imagine if people understood how debt-based money works and why what you say isn’t merely true, but inevitable.

I love this quote from Ford. He understood people and he knew people would lose their shit even back then if the grokked what was being imposed upon them. Add in the rot we have today, with Bitcoin as the solution, and now you’re a conspiracy theorist 😂 https://i.nostr.build/KrVl.jpg


He clearly wants the blue checks because of his financial app concept, he needs people KYCed for that moreso than he needs people to pay for access.

I don’t see any of those routes being successful though. He doesn’t have the patience to execute incrementally over ~3 years, he’s used to businesses where he pushes employees and they bend but he’s pushing his customers and hasn’t groked that they’re not gonna bend the same.


No one has explained Australia’s decision to pursue a “Covid zero” strategy which was a ludicrous pipedream. That path uprooted the entire country for two years. I couldnt not leave Vic for my uncle’s funeral interstate for example, had to get permission and do quarantine and tests and nonsense bullshit to comply with tyrannical policy which NO ONE questioned. People couldn’t come home. Families were separated. Kids separated from parents. Just utter psychotic nonsense all excused away because of the coordinated fear campaign from gov and the media which was entirely in their pocket.

Seeing how far they went just left me disgusted in this place. Descendants of prison wardens who wanted to enforce the most authoritarian crap the clowns could imagine.

I lost it when Andrews closed the playgrounds. Went and ripped down all the tape and signs and shit only for council to return it the next day only for me to go and rip it all down again the next day until they stopped after a week.

He closed playgrounds because people had picnics on the grass on a warm August day and the news played it up - went on a psycho rant because people were defying him. Banned alcohol because people were drinking outdoors on pub crawls. That was the kind of nutso stuff people were gobbling up.

Will never forget what they did.


There’s no way Xitter becomes paywalled, the place would die overnight and be shutdown entirely within a year if that was the level of friction to use it.

Interesting, I was thinking you replaced meat with mushrooms but you meant in addition. Unfortunately my mushroom options are very limited here.

Definitely try the tallow and pork lard if you can. nostr:npub1ulv87e4aqd4wwc97kakn6cpenjvrv6zl8rh396s2ufhns9aanzfs4puzvk is now shipping Aus-wide so you can buy off him if can’t find locally.


Mushrooms would have been a good addition/variation, as would have been more dairy. Smashed through a bunch of cheese and a bit of milk with scrambled eggs but some yoghurt prob would have been good.

Did you get your hands on some tallow? I’ve found that cooking in lard and tallow has lessened inflammation and during those 30 days was by far the least joint inflammation I’ve had in years.

That sugar addiction is wild though eh? Wonder how many ppl out there have it and have no clue they’re addicted


Meat & veg I had done before and I’ve done very controlled macros, the difference I found here was more the explicit elimination of everything that isn’t protein. Kind of like being told to paint a picture but being given a limited palette and tools - it forces you to rethink your approach when there are new constraints.

Not sure if the craving thing is bacteria or blood-sugar levels, definitely most notable at night (when you’re eating meat you don’t tend to want a snack at 10pm) for me and bad for maybe 1.5 weeks before it eased off.


Have just finished 30 days on carnivore diet, some of my observations:

1) Wasn’t hungry. Certainly ate less in all but found myself full sooner too

2) Eggs are the best! I went through about 100 in 1 month, hard boiled as snacks of cooked alongside steak/sausages/bacon. Throw on some grated cheese when you’re next frying eggs!

3) Eating outside the home is the biggest challenge. Difficult to find dishes at restaurants/cafes that are meat only

4) Minced meat is your friend. I cooked “meat cakes” with eggs and cheese in muffin trays for snacks, and mixed with taco seasoning and bacon is a great easy meal

5) Didn’t experience much benefit in energy levels but I certainly slept better

6) Once you break your sugar addiction it becomes very easy

7) Your gut readjusting after a few days isn’t much fun 😂

8) Sous vide made the cooking part way easier.

9) Its not expensive. I was getting through on $15-$25 per day and having basically whatever meat I felt like

10) 4 other people started carnivore after talking to me, all men. Sharing with them at different points made it easier too

Can’t see myself doing it full time but I reckon I’ll do it annually with dry July. Improved my cooking abilities and dropped weight with minimal effort, realised seed oils are in everything, and noticed just how pervasive shit food is too so it was a very worthwhile experiment for me.


Naziism has long since lost its edginess online, it’s not nearly as prevalent as it used to be and no-one really pays attention any more as it’s all old old old stuff at this point.

This is a tongue-in-cheek jibe but there is a grain of truth at its core. Communism is undoubtedly once again on the rise, I’ve posted the flyers for Marxist conferences near me and the marches/protests everywhere in the West are showing commie flags and pics of Lenin and Ché Guevara.

Whilst many of them are only tangentially aligned to the Marxist agenda they are collectively being corralled into supporting it and they’re not led by the placid naive Boomer hippy types but rather angry, mentally ill, disturbed and unhinged red guard types who want to mutilate children and impose their iron will on all.

If there is no plan to deal with them they will keep pushing their agenda and with the State supporting these revolutionaries under the guise of social justice, there’s nothing slowing them down.

Thus it probably is worth thinking about how they’re going to be dealt with because they know no self-restraint and will 100% go too far. nostr:note1cfch9rjpnzv6pt72dkrzn40ytm6k8etv547t6q9qsttm5r4rsthqcw2qtz


This would have been the best “No” campaign, a parallel nonsense demanding reparations for ancestors of transportation - at least your bloodline actually has a claim to having built the country.


For the sake of humanity I am willing to donate the landmass of Australia to communism.

The plan is simple, we round up every climate cultist, Marxist, socialist, transmaoist and leftoid in every country and dump them in Australia. All the politicians, the journos, the actors, anyone who thinks shit is “free”, we get them all shipped to Australia and offer an exchange program for the 20 Million Aussies that will be displaced by this program so they can exit.

Then as we wrap up we destroy the airports and ports on the way out and leave them to their communist utopia. Nothing may never leave Australia, no person or data, they will be completely isolated and the world will treat Australia as radioactive waste which must be avoided at all costs.

The commies get to implement their vision so what’s not to like for them, and the rest of us can move on with life without having sociopathic malthusians trying to dictate all aspects of life to the rest of us.

Goldbugs will build a fort to protect their shiny rocks from confiscation. Load up with guns, stock up on ammo, install surveillance systems, safes, defensive perimeters, get assaying equipment etc.

Why do they do this? Because they operate off an antiquated threat model. They are the Generals fighting the last war.

They choose to invest 25% of their wealth to protect the remaining 75% in their bunker, pre-committing themselves to a future strategy when presented with a “fight or flight” scenario instead of giving themselves the option of moving their wealth and avoiding conflict.

Bitcoin can be secured for <0.1% of one’s wealth and provides maximal optionality with its superior portability. Failing to understand that being locked to a jurisdiction and thus a political regime is more a threat than the global grid going down due to a pole shift is why Goldbugs are going extinct and why Bitcoiners will dominate the next century.

The parasites think humanity has evolved beyond that, that people won’t do anything because they haven’t for decades.

That they haven’t for decades is exactly why the chances of it happening become ever more likely; something the hubristic parasite class fails to understand.

I don’t want to be anywhere near it when the pendulum swings against them.


The Parasites always thought they had “aliens” as a trump card up their sleeve. Whenever their grip on the narrative was threatened, if they ever needed some big crisis, inevitably UFO videos and weird stories emerged to distract.

Yet in the last month we had a “whistleblower” give testimony before the US congress who was relentlessly mocked for his nonsense, and now the Mexican government have supposedly unveiled alien bodies and all anyone can do is meme on them!

The parasites tenuous grip on the narrative is one shock away from being completely broken. This stuff was once the fringe subject matter of Joe Rogan’s “weird corner of the internet” and yet he now gets more eyeballs than the whole M5M combined.

Correct. The first screenshot is what the median mortgage might have looked like in 2020 when taken out at a fix rate of 1.5% - the fix rate is only locked in for a short period, often 2-3 years.

The second image is the new monthly repayment if the same mortgage moved to today’s variable rate of 5.7%

Mortgage holders see their repayments go up massively, that is on top of everything else (fuel, electricity, gas, groceries etc.) inflating 30% all whilst wages are at their lowest since 2009.

This is how central bankers “fix” the economy when their money printing comes back to bite - by throwing millions into poverty and getting them to lose their jobs at the same time.

Cool system eh? https://i.nostr.build/RWmq.jpg https://i.nostr.build/XAV7.jpg


Yes, fixed rate is typically locked in for 1-5 years and then will switch to market variable rate. The US is the only market with 30-year fixed, that’s a dynamic unique to them. Aus and Canada markets are very similar

“Companies do not & cannot own future sales or potential customers.” - that is not strictly true. Companies can and do restrict on-selling with rights of refusal or certain covenants on how/where something can be sold, and they can restrain trade to certain customers/groups also.

It’s what happens when you end up with too much concentrated wealth - they can afford practically everything that exists, the only frontiers left open for them are;

2) Ploughing money into things that don’t exist today

They’re constantly doing number 1 and when they do number 2 it’s often outlandish and stupid but you have to have that level of wealth available to be that outlandish and stupid.

The whole cybersecurity industry as it exists today is thanks to #Bitcoin. Before companies started getting ransomwared they didn’t care much about IT security at all - Bitcoin allowed the bad guys a way to get paid remotely without going through surveilled fiat routes (can’t ransom someone’s data and give them bank details to transfer to) which forced companies to take security more seriously and invest in better technologies and processes to protect their data and their customers.

Bitcoin was the forcing factor for that entire industry.

This is cool..


Game theory is my primary reason for opposing drivechains - I have no idea how the incentives will work in the new model and I don’t care to find out.

Second reason is how the proponents of Drivechains have gone about it. Fuck them for talking down to everyone who isn’t immediately accepting of their ideas - you want consensus, you’ve all gone about it completely the wrong way in a system that requires it.


The Australian Economy never ceases to amaze me. From middling Manufacturer to sandwiched between Uganda and Pakistan in terms of economic complexity in just 20 years.

What do you see on the horizon #AUStriches? Are we going to start adding value to our Iron Ore? Become a nuclear power and develop worldclass machinery to enrich our Uranium? Maybe develop a chemicals industry to rival Germany with all our natural gas? https://cdn.nostr.build/i/306ba3fa2ddf86ab586cb10caa1d826490cc9d3a0f407d3263b02b98fda060b0.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/a8302d5f2bef02c8bd2795c12c5fd73b716c9388c52456bf34e7c49f90b0564c.jpg  nostr:note1n6gazklzjy9nuuqwdjhw2y9wuy538r3xpqmwjql7z8xwsv7c5nqqsnyf2m


This is an interesting visualisation of the world’s wealth and population distribution.

Look at global trends and play this forward, do you think the wealth will remain so concentrated on the West & East Coasts of the USA with that little population? Will Eastern Europe and Africa remain that relatively poor? How about India? How about SE Asia?

In particular consider demographics in these areas. India with its 1% divorce rate and huge slack in human capital. Africa with growing birth rates, and SE Asia somewhere in the middle of those with stable but growing populations and improving infrastructure.

Governments love a housing Ponzi because when houses become money, citizens effectively capital control themselves.

It’s the easiest market to regulate new supply in as it’s fully contained within a domestic market so there’s no risk of some new deposit being found overseas which can flood the market to reduce prices, and they can rely on NIMBYism for soft regulation beneath whatever zoning, materials, safety etc hard regs set beyond that.

It’s the easiest thing to tax because it can not be hidden and it forms the base for the human hierarchy of needs so it cannot be foregone.

And ultimately governments are the ones who decide on ownership - they operate the land registries and adjudicate title disputes through their courts. On top of that, eminent domain is a trump card they can play at any time their own rules aren’t working in their favour.

Housing bubbles will forever be inflated and perpetuated by fiat governments to lock in a tax base and keep capital from fleeing their ability to impose violence on dissenters. It gives them a real world physical address to which they can send their armed goons to shakedown their subjects.

We haven’t even begun to see the value in #Bitcoin’s ability to be borderless, but when the sovereign game theory begins to play out as fiat systems crumble, this may be the killer feature which drives hyperbitcoinisation as the wealthy seek to move their families to safety whilst bringing their wealth with them.

You can have the strongest encryption in the world but if implemented incorrectly it’s as good as having none. That’s the part most Orgs go wrong with.

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak talks about the constant expansion of administrations in fiat healthcare and universities, but there is in fact an older example of this dating to 1955 exploring the growth of officials in the Royal Navy whilst its capability in fact retracted called Parkinson’s Law - worth a read: https://archive.is/ZKg5u https://cdn.nostr.build/i/3f1b67cbce209ab4ca69051c4614349e33d73e7bd532f017dd31b7d360bfb657.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/9e148ec00dfe82dcdfa94ef4ee44aabc449298bbf71dc7c85ec6ac6a893d4a97.jpg


Jurisdictional arbitrage is one of #Bitcoin killer features. The ability to get on a plane or cross a border with your net wealth in your head and no-one else knowing what you have is massive; good luck to failing sovereigns implementing capital controls or attempting to tax the shit out of their subjects when people fully grok this. nostr:note19ny78060v7r2q4cfuxees0k6fnzw986ftdtndkd86uuvrevxyupqnnyktc

The Prime Minister of the country circled in Green is at the NATO Summit and has hinted at joining this Alliance.

If the US tries to 6102 Bitcoin they won’t bother with Plebs, they’ll go straight for MicroStrategy and Saylor.

Unreal.

29% of 18-29 year olds favour government putting surveillance cameras in private homes to “reduce domestic violence, abuse and other crime”

33% of black respondents are also in favour.

We had to move offices recently because of both growth and junkies. A man died in our building entrance last year and 2 of the female staff refused to attend the office.

Andrews is planning to put a second injection room in 5 doors down from that old office..

I’m supposed to come to beautiful Perth soon and was hoping for some respite from this hole!


-China and Brazil agree to skip the dollar and exchange their own currencies directly.

-China uses yuan to settle LNG imports from the UAE, from the French supermajor Total.

-Saudi Arabia joins the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as a dialogue member.

-Saudi Aramco signs big refinery deals for construction in northern China.

It's been a pretty big few days for the anti-petrodollar crowd.


Bitcoin is self sufficient we don't need exchanges


I think you underestimate the lengths to which people will go to protect their status & power. The US govt can't exist anywhere near its current size in a sound monetary environment. Many of these people have convinced themselves that the world would stop turning if not for their special position that makes everything good & all of society possible. Many govt officials will believe, with great certainty, that Bitcoin is destroying the world. And in a sense it is. THEIR whole world is a fraud & Bitcoin will tear that down.

Whether a person is religious or not, the moral of the Jesus story is one that should be remembered. Men clinging to status & power will kill God. They'll torture the innocent, destroy the truth, & plunge the whole world into darkness before voluntarily giving up their authority.
