I don’t think anything BRICS comes up will replace the USD - I expect it will compete with it, fucking up the liquidity balance of the jenga skyscraper that is international finance.

It doesn’t even have to compete “well”, it doesn’t have to be used in every contract, it just needs a big enough network to fuck up the hegemony and that won’t take much when you consider how on a knifes edge the current system is.

Reserve asset strategy has already changed - hard assets and commodities. Countries don’t want US paper any more.

Xitter is full of people saying the petrodollar is dead because Saudi Arabia didn’t renew an agreement with the US to exclusively sell oil in Dollars 🤦♂

Clearly I am a dollar bear as evidenced below, but come on people!

There’s no fucking petrodollar contract with a 50 year term that just randomly expired last week because Biden forgot to negotiate an extension. That is not and never was, how modern geopolitics works.

There’s military and trade alliances, leeway for diplomats and top officials, heavy blackmail, brown paper bags (actually suitcases) full of cash and gold, blind eyes turned and all sorts of shit going on in the background.

This ☝ is why BRICS *is* happening; manoeuvring and politicking. Not because of a piece of paper signed by dead people some 5 decades ago - but because of the actions of leaders alive today, dealing with reality as it is rather than how the textbooks record it.

If it was as simple as an expiring contract propping up the Dollar; the US would have invaded Saudi Arabia the day after expiry. https://i.nostr.build/lLon7.jpg  nostr:note1526hch0dhc6xaaf0cf04k8gxwm2mty9m2zvgdzn6uj20hls7rqesauwjsd

(C) can likley only come from well-intended bitcoiners trying to "fix" bitcoin.  The easiest way to attack bitcoin is to agitate for a civil war and split into two coins.  That is a bigger threat than a 51% attack, because it has happened more than once already, and a 51% attack has yet to happen.

Aside from that a well managed mempool is a way to manage fees, and mitigate agains fee based attacks, which we are just starting to see.


Bitcoin is a company?

Bitcoin is a protocol and it is money.

Are you retarded or something?


You’re always respectful Melvin, even with retards like me.

I wasn’t talking about mempool dynamics though.

On a medium-long term horizon, Bitcoin;

A) succeeds to some massive degree
B) doesn’t and putts around in the middle ground
C) objectively fails. It won’t go to zero out of pride, but it can effectively die as a money

A & B will look different but either way, 99% aren’t transacting on the base layer in those scenarios. The only way base layer is available to normies is C)

With that clarification - how do you envision TX prices from here?

If you see another scenario to my A/B/C by all means outline it but it seems pretty clear the paths ahead.


The supply and demand equation is ♾/21M. That’s fixed.

I’ve asked multiple times about a charity to get nodes into the hands of Bitcoiners - we need this. Many want to run nodes but aren’t capable of setting up themselves.

It’s not 2012 anymore where cypherpunks rule Bitcoin. A spook holds over 1% of all coins now. We need pragmatism for this.


If Bitcoin succeeds, everyone bar today’s Bitcoiners and ultra wealthy will be priced out of the base layer.

TX fees will be beyond the available wealth of 99.999% of people in terms of Sats.

I’m sure you understand this. So how is it that you think we mitigate high fees?


I’m tuning in.

Don’t apologise for enjoying fiat entertainment. Let’s see what these retards are all about

Nah this is a snowflake who wants everyone to put her on a pedestal.

ID10T has been around longer than I’ve been on the net!

There’s nothing harsh about it, it’s a mocking joke but this individual wants to shape the online world to her whims and will seek to paint me amongst actual trolls who post heinous shit because she’s got zero ability to regulate her own emotions and wants everyone else to do it for her.

The beauty of #nostr is I don’t have to give a fuck because she’s got the same power as I do.

She can sook and whinge, she can try to coalition build against me, or she could just mute me if ID10T is so offensive to her.

I don’t have to give a fuck, I don’t have to appease her, I don’t have to change my language or be worried about jannies booting me.

Nostr is neutral.

She can choose her own reaction but she doesn’t want to - she wants to use her femininity to have you all react against me on her behalf.

This is what the devs who are trying to build censorship mechanisms on nostr don’t understand. They don’t understand how individuals are empowered to curate their own experiences.

Going back the last 24 hours since they doxxed fiatjaf (the last article in the 24H dataset), they have:

	•	Total retweets received: 153
	•	Average retweets per tweet: 2.47

	•	Average likes per tweet: 7.47
	•	Total views received: 597,300
	•	Average views per tweet: 9,633.87

That means their ratios are:

	•	Comments to views: 0.0002059
	•	Retweets to views: 0.0002562
	•	Likes to views: 0.0007752

The doxxing tweet is the only one to break double-figures of Comments and/or Retweets for the whole day.

10-15 years ago Melbourne was a really good place to live.

Always more grungy than Sydney and with inferior beaches, the bars/cafes/restaurants/entertainment overall was better. Sydney always had a good peak but Melbourne matched the peak and had a broader base at a better cost of living.

Instead of thinking about power projection, go study political theory for a while - shit that humans have been writing about for Millenia, and how power is *actually* wielded in society.

There is Bitcoin, and then there’s a bunch of wannabe imitators that aren’t worth shit.

There is only one digital money that works. It doesn’t work the way you want it to work - boofuckinghoo.

It works. It seperates money and state which is what it needs to do.

Not everyone will be able to interact with it on the base layer - that doesn’t mean we need your shitcoin; it means we need different scaling options which is going to look different in other cultures which operate on different trust models to Western countries.

So no I’m not making your argument for you, you’re making some retarded argument for some unknown shitcoin that I DGAF about because money converges to one and that one was already decided 15 years ago.

“What I think Thiel doesn't get is that Bitcoin changes people's incentives. The power derived from the fiat machine is neutered. The ensuing political system will be an emergent property of the new underlying incentive structure.”

🎯

Common trap those not immersed in Bitcoin make. In fact it’s even common amongst Bitcoiners who do get it, I do it, we all do - it’s difficult to think through second and third order effects and apply those in extrapolated scenarios.

Like let’s take a hypothetical future where Bitcoin goes to $1 Million.

You think it’s gonna be a good idea to have your name out there as a prominent Bitcoiner then with that kind of bounty on your head?

How dumb would you have to be to go to a Bitcoin conference at that point?

The State is no longer going to just leave Bitcoiners in the corner as some weird thing they don’t understand any more - their entire position will be WAY more hostile.

But also - there’s now a few tens of thousands of extremely wealthy anarchist types who REALLY fucking hate the government and status quo institutions with the funding to do all sorts of things that was never possible before. That Statist hostility can now be met in ways the State never had to deal with previously.

More people have joined Bitcoin not because they believe in the principles necessarily but because they’ve seen individuals succeed in many aspects of life, not just financial. Statist narratives are now lost on a much broader swath of society, their grip loosens even further not just because of wealth but because of changes in social leadership and hierarchies.

Point is these things have dynamic effects. As you say these visions could converge, but it’s unlikely they emerge without other effects. Like we see with the Irish beginning to kickoff at immigration or Swedes antagonising Muslims in their country because they reject the Sharia vision.

All this stuff will be chaotic, but chaos can be an opportunity. Particularly if you’re anticipating it and are positioned (this is precisely why the parasite class initiate crises themselves).

We see it coming but we’re not positioned. Yet.

“the guy is part of the event so they’re already programmed to think the guys in blue are bad”

There’s the problem.

The cops are political now. They were told in advance who the enemy was supposed to be, then a supposed ally to the cause they’re defending showed up with a knife and stabbed all and sundry.

Play fiat games you win fiat prizes.

Ironically the run away female cop is most right here - at least, that’s what normies should have been doing, following her example. She can cop a blade in the neck for all I care but unarmed normies should have left this alone.

Armed normies is a different story.


CREATING AND MAINTAINING AN IDENTITY

Groups are defined by both their positive and negative visions of an identity.

Bitcoiners disagree on many things but there are points on which they do agree, for example:

Positive: Low time preference, strong work ethic, family oriented, disciplined, generous to those deserving, pro human flourishing.

Negative: anti war, anti scam/fraud, opposed to parasitism, against censorship.

When someone purporting to be a Bitcoiner goes against principles of the shared identity, it’s healthy to call out improper behaviour and shame the individual.

Whether that’s some fucktard cheering on a stupid war or someone leaving their wife and child to bang an ethot - an identity has to have boundaries. To be coherent, to build alliances, to weed out bad actors, to maintain direction and to give outsiders a vision and identity they would want to adopt.

Anti-identity behaviours will always occur. Those things need to stay in the shadows, and when exposed they need to be vigorously opposed - that’s how societies have always dealt with these things.

They stay in the shadows so the group doesn’t continuously feast on its own, and when exposed they’re opposed to maintain the boundaries of the identity so that others don’t try to normalise the behaviour.

The Bitcoiner identity has been loosely there for some time and will harden as adherents are more attacked.

It will only grow if, as a group, it is able to maintain its definition by rejecting the negative, embracing the positive, and appealing to outsiders who are willing to adhere to both.

A child that inherits their parents toxic or detrimental behaviours (e.g. emotional eating, violence, alcoholism, gambling) would subconsciously think that they are committing a betrayal when attempting to overcome those same behaviours on themselves.

It’s becoming what we despised or resented, telling ourselves that’s what life is or what we deserve or what is normal, just so that we are loved and accepted by them (parents).

A child that was hit when growing up could say that they became a good person because they were hit, and hit their own children because that’s what a loving parent would do.

An obese person who as a child binge watched TV with junk food every day at 4pm because that’s what their family did may continue the pattern even after moving to their own place, so that they are still considered part of the clan.

I lived in Germany for a few years in the late 2000s. It was a homogeneous society except for the Turks they’d imported for cheap labour but they had established themselves as their own subset of the culture.

You’d get the world class döner with a cup of ayran for €5 and get change back then.

I returned before Covid and even then I didn’t recognise it, now from the outside it looks entirely different.

It’s like a speedrun into destroying the country’s power happened there. Nvidia being worth more than the DAX reflects both where the US is (full scale Ponzi) and where Germany is (fukt) simultaneously.

Germany went so hard on “never again” that they made again more inevitable than anywhere in the world. The commies face zero resistance there because all resistance is painted as the second coming of the moustached man.

Xitter is introducing KYC for monetised users (ie bluechecks) from July 1.

I’m creating something to help direct onboarding because per your point, if we can even get a handful of influencoors with big followings to join up we’ll see waves joining in short order when they encourage signups.

I think ideally new users create keypairs in client and move to key signers later when they want to connect with other nostr services.

Yes, this is the way.

America’s founding fathers were on the right path, they needed to be more explicit about limiting the scope of government though.

An institutions constitution must clearly define immutable boundaries. We’ve seen this work with Bitcoin and need the same for a new form of politics.

The Mises Caucus set out to boot all the “gay communists” from the party after LP said and did nothing to oppose Covid tyranny, and 2 years later they end up nominating the gayest of commies as their Presidential nominee.

Conquest’s second law applies here - unless your Organisation is explicitly right-wing, sooner or later it’s going to be taken over by left-wingers.

Just look where the political Overton window is - raging globalists who want one world government to trans the kids and fight the weather versus those who would do the same, only a bit slower.

It’s not a strawman.

A nutjob took a knife into a mall in Sydney here 6 weeks ago - he stabbed 17 ppl before cops shot him. Pretty much all women and children. 20 mins for cops to get him with one random bloke holding him on an escalator with a pole for a bit.

Imagine a world where everyone had guns. You think the nutjob stabs 17 women and children then?

Your bar of being equally fast to pull the trigger is wrong.

A lunatic with a gun or a knife of a toothpick can kill someone. That is impossible to stop. It’s the second, third, fourth etc attacks that guns will stop in a way that knives and toothpicks won’t.

The first attacks get deterred by the knowledge their brains are gonna be on the pavement within 10 seconds.

Calling ecash an attack on Bitcoin shows mental deficiency at a minimum. I was simply trying to give you some plausible deniability.


So the attacker has a gun - and everyone else has a gun given they’re freely available from supermarkets.

How many shots does the attacker get off before his brain is blown out of his skull from 4 different angles?


Congrats on having a passport 👏

This is considered normal in the rest of the world. It only needs be asked of Americans because only 40% of them have one.

Now answer the other question - how much time have you spend outside the US Justin? Cancun on spring break and Canada don’t count.


“How would having a gun have helped a victim of a random knife crime?”

Did you really just ask that question?

You know that with a gun you can shoot someone with a knife from a distance before they can actually attack, right?

Has German media cucked your brain on how guns work or something?


If you want to tell us you’re weak, just post that mate.

I suspect your idea of how to help Ms Collins and mine, would be at polar opposite ends of the spectrum.


Yeah I’m not sure about the technical issues, I just see the basic maths problems, however shifting it could have the unit bias working in Bitcoin’s favour.

Imagine in future Bitcoin is at $25,000,000 per coin. If the decimal was shifted 3 places and it went back to $25,000 - I expect it would become massively more liquid.

Suddenly something that seemed out of reach which has clearly proven itself is within reach of people again.

Every decimal place moved screws the issuance schedule more with halvings though.

I’m thinking about this because this is one change that existing hodlers/noderunners ARE incentivised to make. They hold the same/very similar share overall but the liquidity would attract more capital in and more usage which would increase overall value.

Deflation is great in theory but we’ve not seen it in practice at global scale and we don’t know for sure how liquidity would play out - it won’t be none like Keynesian idiots claim, but it could well see the same wealth accrual toward the top which leads to social instability and/or alternatives.

Who knows, just interesting to think through.


Depending on how it’s implemented though, it could throw off the total issuance as the halvings have roundings - those halvings wouldn’t come to a perfect 10X of total issuance, it would be more whilst still hard capped.


How would you consider a shift of the decimal place in Bitcoin wrt absolute scarcity?

He posted from his American view of the world how ecash is unsuitable for scaling a global network like Bitcoin.


Wow just figured out Bitmain's latest fuckery in real time.

I'll give you the back story...

Once upon a time Bitmain was grinding merkle roots instead of nonces aka "covert ASICBOOST".

This gave them an advantage over other miners who didn't know this was possible. One company went out of business - KNC - citing "the Chinese having some secret advantage we don't know about" - which turned out to be true precisely for this reason.

It's one of the reasons ASIC manufacture is so centralized today and this is correctly identified by many as being one of the most vulnerable aspects of the entire bitcoin ecosystem.

The ASICBOOST issue came to a head when Bitmain used their influence to block the activation of SEGWIT (essential for Lightning) because it would break their ability to do it - at least covertly. Well, they would still be able to use asicboost, but just in an obvious way that would mean everyone else could do it too. They had patented it so as to try and prevent this because that's the kind of people we're dealing with here but I digress...

When asicboost was independently discovered by Greg Maxwell Bitmain lied and said they weren't in fact using it.

This was after years of bullshitting about segwit, with Bitmain pretending to be in favour of "alternative scaling solutions" or even doing segwit as a hard fork instead which would allow them to continue what they were doing.....

Absolutely nobody believed them thanks to GMax having reverse engineered one of their ASICs and demonstrating what they had built and tried to keep to themselves.

This was a watershed moment in the fork wars where everyone suddenly understood why Bitmain had been making nonsensical arguments against segwit forever. Wanting big/small blocks wasn't a related discussion. Segwit fixed TX malleability and was a no-brainer upgrade and in the end was combined with a block size increase anyway as a compromise.

So we proceeded with segwit anyway, at which point Bitmain switched to overt asicboost which is actually even more powerful, it just requires grinding version bits instead of merkle roots but it's obvious if a miner is doing this.

Now everybody does it so essentially the net effect of it being possible is zero, except your node asking you wtf miners are doing signalling for upgrades your node knows nothing about (upgrade coordination is what version bits are actually supposed to be used for).

Oh well, relatively little harm done. If you're happy to ignore the obvious dishonesty and effort to undermine what's arguably Bitcoin's most important ever upgrade.

Fun extra tidbit: Antbleed - an intentional backdoor with which Bitmain could remotely shutdown any Antminer in the world. They said it was for shutting down stolen ASICs but immediately patched it once it was discovered.

Anyway, this company now accounts for 25-30% of all blocks found, if you naively observe the blockchain.

That's not enough to spook anyone, but unfortunately many smaller pools are in fact just fronts for Bitmain which we know for three reasons:

1. The smaller pools are clearly using blocks constructed by, or for the benefit of, Antpool.

2. They share the same custodian of their newly mined coins (Cobo).

3. They have a lending program to bail out smaller pools who get in over their head due to FPPS.

And the trend is sadly in the wrong direction, given Braiins recently abandoning its old payout model and becoming just a simple proxy for Bitmain as result of switching to FPPS.

[Massive shoutout to @mononautical and @0xB10C for helping uncover how centralized pools have become. Those are their Tweeter handles, idk if they're on Nostr.]

Summary - Bitmain is not just Antpool, it probably accounts for >50% of block templates and manufactures >90% of the mining hardware in the world.

So where am I going with all this?

Amazingly, it's about empty blocks.

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, famously OCEAN has found 3 empty blocks in its short existence, causing many to wrongly make allegations of some sort of issue with the pool itself.

This spurred on endless debate about why pools make empty templates in the first place and the actual reason so many of them get solved.

In short, pools send empty templates then immediately follow up with full templates. So quickly, that the interim period accounts for a tiny minority of the empty blocks that get found on the network, and none of ours.

In all three cases with OCEAN, the miner solved the empty block long after already having a full template to work on -

   - leaving the pool in a position to either throw away a perfectly good (but empty) block or to broadcast it to the network and get miners >90% of the reward of a full block. Obviously the latter makes sense and does zero harm to the network while still adding to the overall PoW necessary for any attacker.

So why would an empty block happen a few seconds after the pool had already sent an updated job for a full block?

Because Antminers suck.

*What we didn't realize was that they intentionally sucked.*

You can send an updated job to an Antminer and watch it continue to work on an old job for over 60 seconds in edge cases.

This was something we assumed was due to design of the ASIC itself, and thus just poor engineering on the part of Bitmain.

But it turns out we were wrong, it's due to Antminer firmware.

We know this because they just released a fix for it.

So Bitmain watched, while people kept mining empty blocks, everyone would wrongly attribute it to pools, while explainers on popular websites like mempool(.)space would offer wrong explanations about it happening due to pools being slow to send proper templates and seemingly no one would understand even the motivation for sending empty templates, let alone the reason they get worked on for so long.

But the fix being something that gets released right after OCEAN starts explaining what's really going on here is beyond reasonable doubt.

They had a fix for it, and have been using that fix for their own mining.

Now they can't get away with it because increasingly people are realizing that Whatsminers and ASICs from other manufacturers aren't finding anything like the amount of empty blocks because they switch jobs far more quickly.

An Antminer has a far greater likelihood of finding an empty block because it spends longer working on old jobs.

We've been out here yelling that the issue is with the ASIC *NOT* the pool.

The fact that Bitmain intentionally crippled the firmware on the Antminers they would sell to the world, while keeping more functional units for their own mining is typical of everything Bitmain.

Sure it can be incompetence and coincidental timing on the fix, but I sincerely doubt it.

The conversation around empty blocks reached the point where people were beginning to realize something was broken with Antminers and then they just happen to release a fix for it right after people finally start catching wind of what's really going on.

So imagine this -

You sell shovels to gold miners, and as we all know, the people who make money during a gold rush are the people who sell the shovels.

But in this case the shovel seller is digging for gold himself too.

And he has intentionally sold crappy shovels to all of his customers so as give himself an advantage.

Empty blocks kept happening, people kept blaming pools.

OCEAN got attacked over it. We explained the real reason they happen so much, and Bitmain releases a fix right after.

Insane.

This goes further than empty blocks.

It's not just empty templates that take forever to work their way out of an Antminer, it's *all templates* and pools are constantly updating work as new transactions show up.

A super lucrative transaction shows up in your mempool?

All other pools are sending an updated job to hundreds of thousands of Antminers who will ignore it for a while, while Antpool has their miners working on it more quickly.

It's not hard to see the motivation for all this, especially going forward as TX fees become more and more important.

Again, insane.

Peter Thiel lays out the three paths for the future that he sees.

1) Sharia Law
2) Totalitarian AI
3) Hyper environmentalism

This is incomplete.

Think of a simple political compass. 1 is effectively Blue. That could be Sharia Law or a reversion to extreme Nationalism with any religion at the core.

2 is clearly Red. He references China and realistically this is the path Western uniparty systems are seeking to traverse.

3 is Green. It fits near perfectly with environmentalist movement where everything is a contradiction, they want freedom to be gay communists and to destroy capitalism and that is the tension to the Overton window of 2.

Where is the Yellow panel? Where is 4?

This vision is erroneously missing from Thiel’s calculus.

Not because it doesn’t exist, rather, it hasn’t got nearly the traction of the first 3. It’s not in his field of vision for that reason.

The 4th path is Hyperbitcoinisation. It’s 100,000 Lichtensteins where we fuck off these monolithic nation states and revert to more localised systems with strong property rights and minimal interventionism.

It’s Bitcoiners going from a scattering of individuals into an organised vision which not only negates 1-3, but can pull others into their orbit by offering normies a positive identity to adopt.

Bitcoin has the economics down, what it lacks is the social and political to truly scale. It cannot be plugged into fiat systems or these 3 visions - except Sharia, it could feasibly work there or at least provide the Overton window tension - it needs its own vision and future. https://v.nostr.build/kZon5.mp4

CREATING AND MAINTAINING AN IDENTITY

Groups are defined by both their positive and negative visions of an identity.

Bitcoiners disagree on many things but there are points on which they do agree, for example:

Positive: Low time preference, strong work ethic, family oriented, disciplined, generous to those deserving, pro human flourishing.

Negative: anti war, anti scam/fraud, opposed to parasitism, against censorship.

When someone purporting to be a Bitcoiner goes against principles of the shared identity, it’s healthy to call out improper behaviour and shame the individual.

Whether that’s some fucktard cheering on a stupid war or someone leaving their wife and child to bang an ethot - an identity has to have boundaries. To be coherent, to build alliances, to weed out bad actors, to maintain direction and to give outsiders a vision and identity they would want to adopt.

Anti-identity behaviours will always occur. Those things need to stay in the shadows, and when exposed they need to be vigorously opposed - that’s how societies have always dealt with these things.

They stay in the shadows so the group doesn’t continuously feast on its own, and when exposed they’re opposed to maintain the boundaries of the identity so that others don’t try to normalise the behaviour.

The Bitcoiner identity has been loosely there for some time and will harden as adherents are more attacked.

It will only grow if, as a group, it is able to maintain its definition by rejecting the negative, embracing the positive, and appealing to outsiders who are willing to adhere to both.

Renting means no long term debt which unless you specifically want to play fiat games is the best place to be in financially.

Everyone thinks property can’t go down because it hasn’t for a long time - well last time it did here in Melbourne it took 60 years to recover. I don’t know that this bubble will burst without a shitton more printing first, but I do know houses are not worth what people are paying for them (cost to avg salary) and I’m not willing to risk holding those bags.

You can sign extended lease terms, most landlords are happy to do so as they prefer certainty over churn.

Mostly you should consider a much cheaper location. Less demand means greater stability and fewer rent rises, if you want continuity for family this is the way to go.

Welcome to WhoreDash

It cannot work and it never could. It is a fiat ponzi scheme reliant on the constant devaluing of currency and infinite population growth.

Constant devaluation is unsustainable. It spirals out of control with high debt to GDP levels. Productive people exit reducing the tax base, and interest on the debt consumes too many resources.

And the population doesn’t grow when people cannot afford children - that’s why you see the bottom end of the population pyramid in this graphic tapering off.

Ponzi schemes are not fiscally sound concepts. They’re balancing acts which have a finite window until they unwind.


Your mum participated in a ponzi scheme. Unknowingly, most people don’t understand this, but that’s what this system is.

Retirement needs to change. We need to return to multi-generational family living where the grandparents are heavily involved with the kids and the parents are being productive for the generations below and above.

We cannot fund these statist ponzis, and we shouldn’t be handing kids over to the state for indoctrination - that means being productive and not allowing the State to soak up all our wealth for their bullshit schemes any more. It’s already unsustainable, the sooner we break it the sooner we can get about to fixing it.

Foul! The Secret World of FIFA: Bribes, Vote Rigging and Ticket Scandals by investigative journalist Andrew Jennings is an incredible read.

Detailing the politics and corruption of FIFA spanning decades and every continent, tales which seem absurd but were largely all proven true.

The story of Sepp Blatter’s rise to the presidency, bankrolled by Qatari Mohammed Bin Hammam who was President of the AFC is my favourite. I couldn’t believe how brazen it all was!

After I had read this book, Blatter’s FIFA decided to award the rights for 2018 & 2022 at the same time, an unprecedented move and clearly a corrupt power play. When I saw tiny little Qatar was a contender for 2022 I knew the fix was in to pay back Bin Hammam and made a handsome profit on a 40/1 bet.

The political intrigue, factional rivalries, brown paper bag corruption and wheeling and dealing described in this book is quite incredible and will give you a real sense of how power is wielded in large institutions in a way you won’t find elsewhere. Like looking at the swamp through a microscope and watching every creature devolve into more and more hideous things as time goes on. https://i.nostr.build/kZAQm.jpg


No one wants your shitcoin promoted by bots you fucking cunts


Oh well 🤷♂

It’s not my democracy, it’s theirs, as they like to constantly remind us.

My democracy has guillotines for poor performing bureaucrats which do not require a vote.

They never talk about my democracy though.

Oracolo looks sweet!


“We know that, in the rare cases, off the top of my head 4-500 cases so far in humans, the mortality rate is extraordinarily high”

Where did he pluck this from?

No Agenda played news clips saying there’s been 2 humans infected in the US.

These cunts are full of shit. They’re clearly trying to start something to force countries to sign the WHO Treaty and it seems like they want to mass cull livestock.

$80 Million doesn’t just change hands without lots of conversation.

That goes for petrodollars and dollarydoos.

Australia’s whole housing market is fake so it’s entirely possible this is tied to some dodgy shit. Authorities could find out if they cared to but the don’t, they need Chinese money to keep the Ponzi going.

There is (was, not sure now) a tool where you can check your npub and see who has you muted.

I’ve forgotten the link.

$80 Million dollarydoos for a pink house that was $325,000 in 1978.

“They claim they want privacy, but they also want to empower the government with more power.  These are opposites.”

These are opposites to the Cypherpunks you describe but you must understand, it’s not in the minds of the Socialist Fediverse.

They don’t care about consistency, they only care about power.

The cypherpunks can’t have any power as that would detract from the socialists power. Therefore the State should be wielded against the former, ideally by the latter but regardless of who has the reins, just do it.

Stop expecting logical coherence from socialists. A four year old could poke holes in their ideology, that is irrelevant. You’ve actually got to stop them because they will continue appealing to a big chunk of the bell curve and as Saifedean says about a 12 year old with a gun, we live in an age where power can be equalised with technology - they can win by sheer numbers of stupidity.

This year I realised it’s now a path into the mainstream. Next year will be better


CREATING AND MAINTAINING AN IDENTITY

Groups are defined by both their positive and negative visions of an identity.

Bitcoiners disagree on many things but there are points on which they do agree, for example:

Positive: Low time preference, strong work ethic, family oriented, disciplined, generous to those deserving, pro human flourishing.

Negative: anti war, anti scam/fraud, opposed to parasitism, against censorship.

When someone purporting to be a Bitcoiner goes against principles of the shared identity, it’s healthy to call out improper behaviour and shame the individual.

Whether that’s some fucktard cheering on a stupid war or someone leaving their wife and child to bang an ethot - an identity has to have boundaries. To be coherent, to build alliances, to weed out bad actors, to maintain direction and to give outsiders a vision and identity they would want to adopt.

Anti-identity behaviours will always occur. Those things need to stay in the shadows, and when exposed they need to be vigorously opposed - that’s how societies have always dealt with these things.

They stay in the shadows so the group doesn’t continuously feast on its own, and when exposed they’re opposed to maintain the boundaries of the identity so that others don’t try to normalise the behaviour.

The Bitcoiner identity has been loosely there for some time and will harden as adherents are more attacked.

It will only grow if, as a group, it is able to maintain its definition by rejecting the negative, embracing the positive, and appealing to outsiders who are willing to adhere to both.

Oh they are *definitely* cooking the books, plenty of info out there already if you look.


Have to question the motives of Bitcoiners who are not at all on #nostr at this point.

This is clearly the flywheel for Bitcoin adoption; if they’re not feeding it energy then are they really Bitcoiners, or are they BitcoinBugs?

It’s not enough to have government be the largest employer in Australia, stacked to the gills with useless leftist bureaucrats. No, they decided to create a whole new sector funded by taxpayers to give more money to those who don’t want to work (and by definition will democratically support more welfare), and people to pretend to look after them (now also incentivised to democratically support more largesse).

People defend the NDIS because genuinely disabled people need support and the parasites hide behind that public goodwill to absolutely rob Australians.

We now have the highest disability per capita in the world because this system is just one gigantic rort, but the economists magic up numbers to claim it’s good for the economy so politicians have the cover to let the gravy train keep rolling.


The NDIS which made up 1/3 of new jobs for #AUStriches last year and is on track to consume 3% of GDP, is estimated to be spending 20% of that money with organised crime 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is what kleptocracy looks like. https://i.nostr.build/7Gm82.jpg  nostr:note1njh5w306804d8x8g4jw7v39q69g92equhnh3z9wgjcqvreaj8nsqmt7w2x

I’ve had a rough few weeks at work and told my missus last night that today was going to be especially tough.

Today my morning coffee was served Caribbean - ie with a shot of rum.

Didn’t ask for it as I never drink grog before lunch and at lunch only on occasion, she just thought it would kick my arse into gear for the day 😂

And what do you know, it totally worked!
