 Good time to resurface this graphic now that #Bitcoin is on everyone’s lips again.

The dumbest takes are likely to come from the biggest influencoors who demonstrably have a worse record than plebs. nostr:note18qylup3tujvsy8rf9655sqn42t7hxr4vzc6y8ygpdx4jaajxmxyq3fex9s 
 #AUStriches UniParty has pushed through their under-16 social media ban admitting it will require verification of **all** Aussies, with the public given 24 hours notice to voice any concerns before they pass it as legislation.

I haven’t had FTA TV for 20 years so I can’t say for certain, but something tells me this wasn’t plastered wall-to-wall on TV tonight for normies to know and respond.

Personally, im not opposed.

I would just guillotine everyone in favour; but I’m the minority.

The system is gonna system until more people think like me and are willing to make these people suffer consequences for being the biggest shitcunts in the world.

They are flesh and bone and have completely forgotten that; nothing changes until they remember. https://i.nostr.build/Ycb1p1YyFvNz2m5F.jpg  nostr:note1n3j57kx4lkvfez6j4neqj0xfkpfcpdnxjlphhvmktc0lj2aacztqyjakyt 
 I’ll continue to supply orangepills to anyone curious, but my proactive orangepilling was in hindsight me trying to save people I hoped would get out from the system in which they’re happy as pigs in shit.

Normies don’t matter.

Hyperbitcoinisation doesn’t matter.

All that matters is those of us with a core belief in separating money from state, actually executing on this. 

Drag the normies where they need to go, and punish the parasites in the process. Fuck opinions. Just do it. 
 Just for fun, here’s the #AUStriches #HousingPonzi mapped to cRyPtOe

Sydney = BTC

 All normies in the sidelines waiting for btc to hit 100k and immediately correct to 80k.... 
 Was thinking about this earlier. 

Normies all operate on the “diversification” mantra, and none of them hold anything for the long term; it’s all gains chasing through flipping.

They’re basically doing the exact opposite of what the wealthy do in selecting a handful of good ideas and going all-in and holding on for years.

That might be the biggest education gap between those who have been successful in Bitcoin and those who haven’t - those who haven’t “took profits” and those who have are still riding.

 There are Bitcoiners who believe Musk is Satoshi..

The man apparently wants to make humanity interplanetary; an admirable goal.

Yet he ignores the single greatest catalyst that would set this in motion - freeing humanity’s best and brightest from fiat debt slavery with the only vehicle capable, Bitcoin. 

Instead of possibly unleashing 100,000 Einsteins, he chooses to pump a meme coin which benefits him.

Anyone who believes Musk is Satoshi is SERIOUSLY retarded.

At best he’s a well-meaning but narcissistic Billionaire who thinks he alone can achieve the goal, more likely he’s a LARP getting fat and happy in the Cantillionaires Lounge and doesn’t really care. 

But one thing is for sure, he ain’t fucking Satoshi. https://i.nostr.build/rWOiBtDnPLIJuxrm.jpg  
 I remember @naval saying exactly this about Musk when talking about “Pascal’s scams” - he spends way too much time focussing on ridiculous tail risks.

 “Nearly one in five workers in Australia is a government employee, with wage rises — far outpacing those in the private sector — and hiring sprees driving public sector spending to a record 27.3 per cent of GDP in the June quarter.”

Not good enough! 

We need the Department of KAREN now so that 3 in 5 #AUStriches can suck on the government teat!

 I don’t want to live in a world where the government doesn’t have complete authority over all children.

It’s just too risky! Parents absolutely can not be trusted to parent their children.

We need a new Department of Kids and Adolescent Regulatory Enforcement Nationwide!

The Dept of KAREN will oversee:
1. Licensing new parents
2. Ensuring new parents have undertaken accredited training
3. Setting a “morals & ethics” curriculum for home
4. Conducting daily home inspections to ensure compliance
5. Removing kids who learn unapproved narratives https://i.nostr.build/7Zh6XyhWRdzlYgpP.jpg

Those birth rates aren’t going to improve themselves! Nothing outside of government centrally planning pregnancies and revenue raising with loicenses will solve this. https://i.nostr.build/ZzICUtalC6nTj3zk.jpg

We have the same problem in Australia. I only know one Aussie who has had a kid in the past year, the few others who have were foreigners

 Hey @Mandrik  thanks for replying and then blocking me on xitter.

 She probably enjoys your reaction more than anything. My missus hates sitting in the chair but she loves my compliments. 
 More parasitic #AUStriches who don’t understand Bitcoin talk about it and conclude that it isn’t money.

There’s something really special about Bitcoin. It has a virus-like quality which plays out in one of 2 ways. 

Either it grips the individual and shakes them so violently it changes their entire life for the better, freeing them financially from fiat debt slavery and opening them up to a more holistic lifestyle.

Or it is completely unable to penetrate the thick head of the individual who will openly admit they don’t understand it yet they grow this supreme confidence that they should talk openly about it and dismiss it.

Truly fascinating. https://v.nostr.build/H7CWmCjmhrNF7II4.mp4  nostr:note13cvwg280uq990j3372sqylmpxrp0k7w660jvntxzxtesyl5tyvyq3t5pfy 
 They didn’t outsmart anyone. They simply have incumbency going for them, that’s it. 

In the long run they will fall because that incumbency will become a burden. 
 You’d be surprised. These are not impressive people, they are party apparatchiks. 

I’m certain there are people inside the central banks who understand it completely and others who at least understand enough that it’s a threat to them, but someone like Bullock whose been inside the RBA for decades or Kroger whose a Liberal Party stooge, they’re not the kind of people who go and expand their minds with novelties. 

They exist in a power structure and that’s all they know. Anything outside of that seems irrelevant to them because they don’t imagine there are other avenues of power being the midwits they are.

 $42B isn’t more bitcoin than is mined over the next 3 years - that’s just your view today at current prices.

Drawdowns will be smaller in % terms in future, the big drop might be 50%-60% instead of 80% this time when it goes parabolic and over time that volatility will decrease. $10k daily candles are big today but that will be a 1% move at $1M per coin. 
 Mission Impossible II

I just want to leave this here for posterity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible_2_(soundtrack)

Fred Durst got the theme song, Hans Zimmer was Track 12 whilst Rob Zombie was Track 3.

An amazing movie with a soundtrack that the ADL would ban the whole thing outright today. 
 In my mind, this was always the peak of Mission Impossible movies. Tom Cruise might have pushed his own boundaries but he never pulled together others like this one.

Limp Bizkit has been discredited as uncool but they defined popular music for the turn of the century - you had to be there to know how big they were.

Covering Faith & Behind Blue Eyes to proper originals with My Generation & Break Stuff; they were the breakthrough from old to new.

Your great grandkids will know. Everyone else will dismiss it. 
 Pass it on to your grandkids.

They’ll never know this stuff happened without it.

They defined 5-7 years of music against rap which dominated after them.

No-one who wasn’t there will get what happened without this context

 That he should be blocked.

 He got his 15 seconds of fame.

 We will get consensus when the idiot devs engage Sales/Marketing/PR to sell it for them.

They’re still treating Bitcoin like it’s a bunch of anarchists in 2012 who can be scared/influenced into anything the Devs want.

The current crop don’t even know who they’re selling to. There’s $1.7 Trillion on the line today and these clowns don’t even know who their customer is.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts because it won’t.

They will engage Pros and work through this sooner or later. 

Good luck stopping them then…

I’ll help anyone who wants to support Bitcoin achieve what it should.

The social layer is about to become 100X more important than the technical and no-one is ready for this. 
 Keep sucking on that hopium bro. You’re gonna need it!

If you think moneyed interests won’t work out how to sell changes to Bitcoin then you are only deluding yourself, no-one else.

There’s an entire industry dedicated to working out how to sell shit. They generally succeed within the bounds of the product. 

Just because this hasn’t happened on  Bitcoin doesn’t mean it won’t.

In fact, it’s more likely with what’s at stake.

Invest $10M and shift $2T of capital how you want - yeah those efforts are coming thick and fast and you’d better prepare your arse. 
 You’d probably pickup these zaps if you found one on the ground now that they’re double digit cents.

My grandkids will be dismayed many years from now looking back at my zaps.

 Leftists in Victoria were planning to disrupt an annual Christmas event to protest for Gaza.

The Premier Jacinta Allan, known around here as Socialist Barbie (they share the same IQ), has a plan to bring together her base (the disrupters in this case) with the regular people of Melbourne who are sick of woke nonsense.

Her solution?

“a strong new set of social cohesion laws”

Because nothing unites a place where they’ve poured in 2 million immigrants like socialist laws defining culture.. https://i.nostr.build/gHUJ31ptWqTxwXLG.jpg  
 No, as in an empty head 
 That’s the problem with todays leftists - the coalition of grievances that they’ve cobbled together are fundamentally at odds on many things so forming a coherent narrative for them is impossible. 

The only things they can unite around are the things they hate or that they’ve been indoctrinated to fear. That’s a losing strategy in the long run as it provides no vision for a better future. 
 Your last point is apparent across the Western world. I wrote about it in my rant about Albo - the quality of the people in power is getting worse and worse and worse.

It must be the natural end state of Parkinson’s Law. The bureaucracy continues to expand forever and the 1UP always has someone less competent and less likeable than them as their 2IC.

This shields them from internal hostile takeover allowing them to focus on their external “enemies” because nobody wants the next cretin, but then because the way the system works they inevitably end up in power anyway and then they bring an even worse 2IC.

I don’t see how anyone could prefer this democracy over monarchy. Literally the shit floats to the surface rather than the cream.

 #AUStriches real wages have fallen to 2008 GFC levels. 

The RBA which pumped $500 Billion of Covid stimmies which they were surprised went into the #HousingPonzi is projecting it will take until 2036 - 22 years - for real wages to rebound to 2019 pre-Covid levels.

With the lowest productivity in the Western world (pic 2), and the electricity grid being destroyed to soothe the minds of retarded cultists whilst Billionaires line their pockets with renewables subsidies, Australians are being told Bitcoin has no place in the economy and are expected to just put up with this colossal failure.
