 The average fiat worker will lose 50% of their purchasing power, 2 or 3 times during their working life.

This is on top of being taxed out the arse so your government can pay to bomb brown children on the other side of the world.

This system is evil; I want nothing to do with it. https://i.nostr.build/rNaTQrfJx7Phk0hF.jpg  
 Globalists hate nations of peoples. They want economic zones of tax slaves where everyone is an interchangeable cog in their machine. 

The more tax slaves, the more they can pilfer and the more they can dilute via money printing.

 A short story in 2 videos.

First video is Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 Where 8 Union members stand around watching one guy in a digger do the work, “protected” by 2 lollipop ladies directing traffic each alone on $215k per annum.

Second video is Saigon, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Where 2 blokes have thrown up a 1m*1m metal screen on one of the busiest roads in the city for traffic control whilst they actually fix the road and riders just go around them.

How long do you think this lasts? How sustainable is this grifting when the Victorian economy literally doesn’t produce anything, and is in more debt per capita than even New York State (which at least has NYC & Wall Street to tax)?

People expect the collapse to be some big event. Like a scene from a movie.

 Saw a teenage boy of 17/18 effortlessly bounding up the stairs, 3 at a time this evening.

First time in ages I felt jealous.

I would love to have that teenage energy and agility back in my legs. The confidence that every step is going to land just so, and carefree that if I slip I’m not going to destroy myself.

I’d pay good #Bitcoin to feel young like that again.

 They have floated (as Andrews did prior to last Vic elections) “helping” people to buy homes by the Gov taking a stake in the equity of each property.

Between that, introducing taxes on unrealised gains on super, an out-of-control immigration scheme, Digital ID and KYC for social media, it’s truly difficult to tell which is the worst most destructive policy this Gov has pushed because they’re all so fucked in the head. Not merely “bad”, just completely beyond the pale.

Putting Albo into minority Government with the Greens and Teals holding the balance of power next go round will accelerate the suicide of the nation.

 More revenue to hire more ideologically aligned losers to create more programs to create more revenue. It never ends. 
 After the furore of US jobs data, let’s have a look at how #AUStriches are going.

ABS Labour Force - Public Vs Private Sector

- Private QoQ -516.2k, YoY -264.2k
- Public QoQ +499.0k, YoY +639.0k

These are INSANE numbers. 

Australia’s labour force is only ~15 Million people in total and here we’re seeing US levels of Gov job printing. https://i.nostr.build/OrZyPbdNBq38Z8eS.jpg  
 Yep the bulk is NDIS related but if you’re keeping your eye on what’s happening, pretty much every area of Gov is expanding. 

Shitloads of governance and “customer relations” roles - bureaucracy for the bureaucracy.

 BRICS is going to happen.

Saifedean dismisses it because they can’t feasibly coordinate a real competitor to the USD which is true.

But when you realise the BRICS+ don’t need to be competitive but rather this is economic warfare to splinter the Dollar-zone (ie USA & vassals) and ensure cross border flows when the US finally loses its marbles trying to defend the empire then you’ll see the tradeoffs these countries are willing to make and how they’re preparing.

Multipolarity will look like USD vs BRICS but Bitcoin will be a tiny little wedge in the beginning of that new order, and eventually eat both over time. nostr:note1aczvyk4w30ywlx4eqvrfs4gaekezu5hgnmz3e3pl8mgh5flctcsqwq6jps 
 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK YOUR HEALTH DATA ON NOSTR. 
 Don’t you have a history with health data which would best be left in the past? 
 Right. Vaccine certificates over relays.. https://i.nostr.build/scelGG1e2di443AB.jpg  
 Do you understand the difference between an anonymous keypair signing events and the State forcing people to inject experiments into their bodies to please their Big Pharma friends and then creating a database linked to ALL of their Identity to determine which activities people can participate in based on their compliance status? 
 Rubbish. Absolute garbage.

The State can’t force anyone to divulge a private key. They can imprison someone if they don’t, they could possibly torture them, but they CANNOT hack or break the encryption of a properly stored key.

That means it is down to the User to decide and you conflating a User’s decision with a State’s ability to break encryption is exactly what was wrong with your understanding on vax certs in the first fucking place.

Have you learned nothing in the past 4 years? Individuals have agency. You for some bizarre reason want to circumvent their agency for reasons unknown. 
 What you don’t understand Vitor, is that every individual has agency - ie. a choice. 

They can choose to go to jail, or they can choose a myriad other options. They can choose to start firebombing politicians homes, they can choose to start a militia and go abduct bureaucrats, they can choose to storm parliament and hang everyone. You know - CHOICES.

You’re working on the side of disallowing choices. You’re seeking to help those with the monopoly on violence for god knows what reason.

>”During COVID, people allows governments to check if you have taken the vaccine or not.”

A) No they didn’t. B) Your defense is basically “I was just following orders” except you fucking volunteered and C) This is the epitome of you denying people agency.

It’s difficult to fathom how fucked up your view of the world is based on this. 
 Go back to the start, re-read the whole thing. 

I was giving you the benefit of doubt with my initial framing. Rather than come out and accuse you of things, I put in such a way to give you an out since many people have realised the error of their ways after Covid and siding with the totalitarians.

You clearly haven’t. You had and still have this fucked up view that the State is all powerful and the people, individuals, don’t have any say in the matter.

Let me tell you Vitor - the State is also made up of people. Those people are made of flesh and bone no different to you or I. When you cut them, they bleed. When you lop their heads off, they don’t magically grow back.

Your track record working with health data in conjunction with the State is shit. Based on everything you’ve posted in this thread I wouldn’t touch anything you’re working on with a 40 foot pole because you clearly don’t understand the real world implications and have a child-like view of things which if the rest of us adopted would mean total enslavement of humanity. 
 >”What did I say that makes you think that?”

This:

>”The state can force you to show your Nostr posts. They can do this literally with everything, including Bitcoin as well.” 

The State can’t burrow inside my brain and extract a key. I can divulge it, they can’t extract it nor hack it.

If you don’t understand the difference then what the fuck are you doing here chatting with me - go read some books.

And this:

>”Also, the state already has access to your health data on today's system centralized systems.”

SOME parts of SOME States have access to SOME of your health data. This is once again your naive mind extrapolating what you know to 8 Billion people in more than 200 States.

Do you think your State has access to my medical records? The entire picture of my health from birth til today? Considering I’ve had surgery in 4 different countries, how do you think that looks like?

Or do you acknowledge that different jurisdictions have different rules for handling data including ages, retention periods, sensitive info, sharing etc?

Again extremely naive views on extremely important topics - you cannot be trusted on this AT ALL.

 “If you think Trump will be the next president you are living in a fantasy. …

Currency collapse is the only thing that can save this country because it will defund the government.”

Trump might well be given the next 4 years so they can rugpull the economy, point the finger at him and the Republicans, and then cement one-party rule for a generation before anyone can muster up anything to go against them.

Economically I’m far more worried about a Trump win for this reason. 

Harris will be 4 years of printing and bandaids and can kicking. Trump will be 4 years of printing with a real risk they press the reset button on his watch.

Those that understand this system is precarious at best and how we got here should be able to see how this is exactly the kind of shit these parasites would pull to capitalise on the chaos. 
 

Bitcoin is fundamentally a bottom-up technology. It’s about decentralizing power, allowing in... 
 >“Just by refusing to participate in their system and redirecting our energy into Bitcoin, we’re creating a parallel economy, a system that naturally rewards those who opt in.”

No, that is not enough.

Starving the beast is not going to move us into the system that #Bitcoin could and *should* underpin.

That’s going to create a power vacuum and nature abhors those - it **will** be filled.

There is no such thing as a directionless economy. Economies exist through entrepreneurs taking signals and trying to capitalise on meeting market needs. 

We’re just used to living in economies where one giant central actor plans half of everything for all of us.

Take them out and half the economy needs to be backfilled. That’s going to mean winners and losers. That’s going to see people become wealthy and others become destitute - such is the nature of free markets.

If you want any sort of stability in such a system then you want to be the ones filling the power vacuum, not letting the very same parasites who have been dethroned back in to power. That means directing what power there is and what it can do, no different to what the Church used to do in Europe.

In the long run there is no world (other than either 2199 Matrix shit) where our parallel economy peacefully coexists with the fiat status quo. 
 Shadow self-governance is a good way to frame it, albeit that’s probably a better description for where it’s headed than how we get there. 

We need to Elmer Fudd this shit and think like the rabbits.

Telling the midwits they’re going to have to govern themselves will scare the shit out of them and would be easily capitalised upon by incumbent parasites to sow FUD. That might be the reality but it’s not how the war will be won.

But both need the mindshare - how does it work in practice and how does the transition happen because they’re distinct things as any revolution from history can teach us. 
 >”But I still argue that the best solution lies in a decentralized model, one where the individual, not a new elite, is empowered.”

I’m not arguing against that at all.

Ancaps don’t dispute natural hierarchies, Auth-anything’s certainly don’t either - only AnComs are stupid enough to believe in leaderless utopias. Because we see these form regardless of superstructure; it’s human nature to have leaders. 

I too would like that superstructure to be decentralised. I too would like the new elite to be more figureheads than actually be empowered.

None of that is counter to my argument, it’s just a shallow understanding on your part of how humans organise societies.

How powerful the new elite class turns out to be is within our power to control, because Bitcoiners will own the means of production at the outset of the system. We can be the ones to set the rules in motion.

Turning a blind eye and pretending we’re going to turn into an entirely meritorious homogeneous blob of humans is to ignore all of history and every system which has ever been. It’s just not how things work in reality so rather than leave everything to random chance I’d say it’s better to be the ones with the guiding hand over the levers of control than leave it to chance. 
 Protocols don’t replace people.

When it comes to money and an economic system, we want that out of the hands of people.

When it comes to how society is organised and the socio-political system, that **will** remain in the hands of people until/if AGI happens.

Economics can exist in a machine only world as a means of allocating resources, but there is no society without people. 

The institutions which govern what is acceptable in society are still going to need to be replaced/changed.

People are not going to for example stop needing massive water treatment systems just because the government can’t insert themselves into the money flow. Humans still need that, and even if we want the free market to deliver solutions the reality is the current systems need to be picked up or else they’ll be co-opted and used against us or outright fail which will also be used against us.

How long does it take for a parallel system to establish water governance at a population level? I have no idea, but I know it needs people to put their heads together to figure out options and what the tradeoffs are and how we might propose to handle such a thing and whilst I see shitloads of talk about crab markets and how incumbent parasitic systems are treating our economy, I see next to none about how we subsume water mgmt and all the other shit that is going to need to be transitioned roughly or smoothly into a new system.

Protocols will form the backbone but they only matter if there are people to “organise”. What form and depth that organisation takes is up for grabs in a new system but rather than simply dream about it, I’m trying to be the change I want to see and start talking about it with people who understand the very real possibility of being thrust into a role as new economic elites when we’ve got excellent brains and plenty of money but none of the organisation capacity needed to succeed. 
 Everyone has bugbears about #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners.

Mine is the lack of elite theory that Bitcoiners have studied and/or discuss. Seems to be too far out there for Ancap-types who acknowledge natural hierarchies but then shy away from the reality of it.

Many seem to think we’ll have hyperbitcoinisation entirely without impetus - ie fiat money printing will do all the heavy lifting and we’ll just end up in this idyllic world where government is restrained because everyone has seen the light and adopted Bitcoin and they can’t print more. I assign a roughly 0.00001% chance to that outcome.

The heaviest weighted category in my view (with diverging paths at a certain point) is Bitcoin has a massive run and creates a new financial elite which could become a new social counter elite. This happens *well before* government is occupied by non-parasites who will be on a warpath for a wealthy but highly disorganised class of people who have the means to destroy them but lack the coordination.

That will be the time to plant Bitcoin’s flag for a new system. Not when status quo institutions have spilled our blood and were forced into joining and then co-opting our economic system - that’s FAR too late.

That flag won’t be planted unless we give serious thought and mindshare to how such a system could work and what tradeoffs we’d all be willing to accept for the least bad system because rest assured, normies will stick with the parasites if the parasites are the only ones articulating a vision, even if their vision sucks.

I’m here to embrace the new counter elite, and to work with likeminded Bitcoiners on ways to uproot the establishment and replace them *permanently* with fewer shitcunts.

NGU for me only matters insofar as it allows tables to be flipped. 

I don’t want a lambo, I want a dynasty. 

I don’t want fiat justice to prevail, I want the natural justice of parasite head’s on pikes for what they’ve done to the people.

I want new fables written about the evils of usury and new myths to take root in civilisation about what is good and righteous that cross religions and cultures.

I want #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners to succeed to their fullest, by replacing the parasitic system rather than just usurping it.

That’s what I’m here for - how about you? nostr:note14hd2z48knluwy5t77ff6zkkf6fw4zrk3h06g4v2ttgakk67hqrusuv56eg 
 You’ll find plenty of that in death.

I’m more interested in what happens between now and then, if the first decades of my life are anything to go by then I’m not expecting much peace in the meantime. 
 The parasitic establishment elite aren’t a homogeneous group, nor are the current counter elites - yet both have their visions for the world. 

Without an articulated vision, there is nothing to rally people behind. Without a head the body doesn’t know what it’s doing.

That’s how you get a power vacuum and Bitcoin is many things, but power-vacuum-resistant it is not.

 The graphic says “American” Class Hierarchy but this applies to Aus, NZ, and Canada. Europe is getting this way but has more entrenched old money.

Bitcoin will create a new financial Counter Elite. That will set Bitcoiners at odds with the Establishment Elite which controls institutions and politics and who will use both against this insurgency to protect their powerbase.

If Bitcoiners ever want to become the Establishment Elite (and no I don’t mean becoming the parasites, I mean being the elite class of society to whom lower levels look to and aspire to join) they will need to do something with their newfound wealth.

Utilities is the path. Control the utilities (energy in particular but water and internet too) and you’ll pull the people to the counter elite orbit who will abandon the current parasite class for a better life with the new Counter Elite at the top of the pyramid. https://i.nostr.build/OSfEe9v8Ywe2XR86.jpg  
 John Kerry saying the quiet part out loud. 

“Our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to just hammer [disinformation] out of existence”

This is actually a really interesting clip because Kerry is entirely correct in his overall analysis - democracies cannot function in this age. 

When they cannot wrangle people to their narratives any more they lose their legitimacy which (rightly) terrifies them. That’s what is really behind these attempts at controlling social media across the world. https://v.nostr.build/8CowVItDMeMTAj23.mp4  
 Behemoth states only make sense to parasites who want a large host to feed upon. 

They make no sense in a world where, like Kerry says, it’s easy for everyone to find their own niche now and segregate themselves from people they don’t want to associate with - that’s a feature, not a bug, but when you have the globalist worldview you can see why it scares them.
