I noticed I don't post on here half as much as the I do centralised algo apps. I couldn't figure out why.

And now I know why.. I pick my phone up, doom scroll, then 20/30 minutes later I'll put my phone down. Within about 30 seconds the centralised algo app will buzz me with a notification to say "You might like this from Karen"

So my stupid monkey brain is intrigued. Picks the phone up again (like it's a banana) and I'm not even interested in what Karen is doing. I notice 'Tony' has a new role at work and click on his page with my monkey paw. Then suddenly an hour has gone by. I notice an article, I'll read that. It was rubbish (most of the time) - I'm frustrated.

But keep going back.

And I've not even thought about Nostr once, even though I think I know it's value - it represents what i think i represent - freedom, self sovereignty,  Bitcoin etc.

I'll sometimes even flick through the other centralised algo apps before I put my phone down and not once go through my Nostr feed, even though I love it.

The other apps are like crack (i imagine). But the crack is not even good. And I keep chasing the cheap dopamine hits from them. Like a social media junkie.

I've quit so many things before, like smoking and drinking. Toxic women. Shitcoins. Social Media is one thing I truly struggle with.

So I'm going to wein myself off it - one day at a time. I read somewhere that it takes 3 weeks to form a new habbit.

Or 21 days.

So here it goes #21daysOfNostr

Posting everyday. 🫡🧡

Is this real?! 😂😂😂


The reinterpretation of common sense began when we started to assume that common sense is not a sense which constitutes a shared world around us but a capability which we have that anyone is able to act on. This capability is the capability of logic, the fact that we may say in unity: two plus two equals four. But this capability, even if we all possess it, is completely incapable of guiding us through the world or capture anything at all. It merely underlines the most outer subjectivity, even if we may assume (unjustly, of course), that all subjects are the same.

By this line of thinking we must arrive at the idea of the 'normal person' – the normal people who are all the same, because the world which they could share is missing. And because this is impossible you'll end up in a situation in which everyone who is 'not normal' needs a psychoanalyst or a god who knows what they need so that they can become like the others, meaning like somebody who is nobody in the literal sense of the word.

Over the long term bitcoin has proven to be the best safe haven asset to protect individuals from currency debasement, censorship and governments getting absolutely plastered on debt. During times of financial stress people need cash and they will look to get into cash as quickly as possible and bitcoin is the asset that gives them the speed they desire.

We are in a revolution against the waning power of governments and bankers. Their only weapon is sowing fear. If you give into that fear, then it impedes and delays our inevitable victory. Cryptocurrencies are not crashing. They are bending against the impotent wind of the past.

So…I wrote a book! https://amzn.to/4dmnmtx
I couldn’t find a good intro to Bitcoin book that covered all the aspects I thought were important, so I wrote one.
I wrote this book for my mom to understand Bitcoin. I wrote this for all my friends whose eyes glaze over the moment Bitcoin is mentioned. I wrote this for everyone who has said, “But what if the government bans it?” or “Isn’t it just a Ponzi scheme?” or “Bitcoin is just too complicated for me.” I wrote this for all of them.
Hopefully this book can help orange pill that person in your life that hasn’t been able to connect or grasp the importance of Bitcoin. I kept the price as low as possible in hopes that it reaches all the people it’s meant to reach.
The paperback and kindle versions are available now. The hardcover should be out in a week or so. All versions are in full color. Please share and leave a review if you feel inclined. If you want to read it for free, shoot me a DM and I’ll send you a pdf.
I had the idea to write this book 30 days ago today. It's been a wild month.

”You do well and excel in every respect—in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity. I’m not saying this as though I were issuing an order but to stir you to greater love by mentioning the enthusiasm of the Macedonians as a challenge to you. For you have experienced the extravagant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was infinitely rich, he impoverished himself for our sake, so that by his poverty, we become rich beyond measure.“ 2 Corinthians 8:7-9

“As big tech companies pay lip service to freedom of speech while simultaneously implementing “freedom of speech not reach policies, online discourse increasingly mirrors the authoritarian control described by Ludwig von Mises when he said: “At every instant of his life the "comrade" is bound to obey implicitly the orders issued by the supreme authority. The State is both his guardian and his employer. The State determines his work, his diet, and his pleasures. The State tells him what to think and what to believe in”. This is even more true today, than it was in 1944 when it was written.”

Money printing is the precise cause of that distortion.

All our collective efforts in 2024 must be employed in developing a Nostr app with a single button. Users won't have to think, they will just press that button and they will be fed with content selected to them by an amazing algorithm. When they are hungry they press the button and food will be put inside their mouths. Whenever they feel a little bit of discomfort in their bodies they just press the button. The app cannot mention relays, keys or the word "Nostr" because that will intimidate users, it should have a familiar name, maybe it should be called "mom", since that word is very familiar to all normies since when they were babies.

“In contrast to #bitcoin, fi at represents government-sanctioned counterfeiting.  Printing little pieces of unbacked paper and trying to pass them off as money?  Fiat is an economic paradigm premised on the plunder of time from the unfavored many not directly downstream of the State’s monetary spigot.  No wonder those in charge love it. Counterfeiting should be illegal regardless of whether the Xerox machine is government or privately owned.  The only monetary difference is the size of the confi scatory audacity.  The US Treasury estimates $70 million in counterfeit bills are in circulation.  Since 2020, the Federal Reserve has Xeroxed a fresh, crisp $6 trillion.” Ross Stevens

Re: NOSTR FUNDING..

In my humble opinion, people should seek profit.

We do have a lot of funding available from OpenSats (new grants approved every week), HRF, Angels and VCs. But they won't make you "rich". PHILANTHROPY and/or VC, are great means to get boosted but are not sustainable long term. (aside from protocol and research work, which is basically academic work and take the academic philanthropy route)

Profit is freedom, profitable ppl don't need to ask for permission.

SUSTAINABLE and ETHICAL revenue positive businesses last generations. And very satisfying if you don't mind me saying.

Timing is EVERYTHING! We are ultra-early in nostr, almost too early. Almost everything you see around you won’t be here in the same shape/form in a year or two. Find ways to cockroach the early days, survive another day. Build expertise, build value, build IP, build relationships. All this fun and pain of the early days can have very good returns for those who survive.

I'm here (and many others), If you need help, advice or just a capitalist to scream at.

Nostr wouldn’t be where it is without Damus. If this project were to get phased out, that would be a massive blow to Nostr.

Speaking strictly from Primal’s perspective, we *need* projects like Damus to be successful. If we are to make a credible argument that Nostr is different from the legacy platforms, users need to have many good choices of clients and services.

One year is a long time in Nostr terms, and I am optimistic that Will and the team will figure this out. But if/when Damus and other projects introduce paid tiers, please consider the bigger picture when deciding whether to sign up. You won’t be making a decision just for yourself. At this early stage your support might help some projects survive, as well as change the trajectory of Nostr itself.

Ever since the infamous Taproot Wizard 4mb block bitcoiners have been alight, fighting to try and stop inscriptions. Inscriptions are *definitely* not good for bitcoin, but how bitcoiners are trying to stop them will be far worse than any damage inscriptions could have ever caused.

Inscriptions work by embedding images or other data into the bitcoin blockchain by using a trick in bitcoin script. They essentially put the data in an unreachable code block followed by the real spending conditions so the user can claim the ordinal/NFT. It is quite an ingenious trick but has broke a lot of the assumptions many bitcoiners were operating under. Previously, the main way to embed data into bitcoin was OP_RETURN, which is basically an op code exactly meant for embedding data but had two problems for the NFT people: it makes coins unspendable and by mempool policy is limited to 80 bytes. Inscriptions has the advantage that their only size limit is the block size and since their data is in the witness, not the output, they benefit from the witness discount, allowing them to embed 4x the data. This broke a lot of bitcoiners assumptions that the theoretical 4mb block would never happen because it'd be silly to have only witness data, however, the NFT people found a way to monetize it. Now this is common place and we've seen tons of inscriptions happen, driving up fees and block sizes.

Inscriptions are an attack on bitcoin. Inscriptions are not going to kill bitcoin, but none the less, it is an attack. Exploiting a trick in bitcoin script to use the witness discount for embedding data is definitely hurting the network, blocks were never meant to actually reach the theoretical limit and it is a problem that it is happening. Nodes will be more expensive to run and this will hurt decentralization of the network. However, now that it is happening and common place, we cannot stop it.

In retaliation bitcoiners are proposing ways to "stop" inscription and these will do far worse damage then inscriptions will ever do. Almost every proposal to stop inscriptions boils down to preventing these transactions from getting into the mempool. The mempool is the battle ground of bitcoin transactions and we need to preserve it. The mempool only works if it the premier way to get the highest fee rate transactions to miners. If we lose that guarantee, people will move to centralized systems and we may never get the mempool back. Filtering spam transactions from the mempool will not stop inscriptions, at best it will delay them by a week. The people buying inscriptions are morons, but the people selling them are not, they already have back channel communications with mining pools and if we cut them off from the mempool, then the only pools getting these fees will be the shitcoin aligned pools. This has already happened to many shitcoin networks where their mempool was killed off for one reason or another and now the primary way to broadcast a transaction is through a centralized api. This essentially creates a permissioned network, where even if anyone can run a node, if you don't have access to the transaction broadcasting api, you cannot access bitcoin. We are currently seeing congress try harder and harder to regulate nodes, miners, and wallets as money transmitters and losing the mempool will make this problem 1000x worse. There is also serious security problems without being able to do trustless fee estimation if we lose the mempool, but that is out of scope of this post.

Further, filtering transactions based on "spam" metrics can lead us down a dark path. The most economical way to transact in bitcoin is *not* the most private. Today the most popular way to get privacy for your on-chain bitcoin is doing a coinjoin. Coinjoins are not necessarily economic transactions, you are merely spending to yourself along with a bunch of other people. If we set precedent that you have to justify the usefulness of your transaction to not be considered spam, soon people will find a way to exploit this to try and get coinjoins and other privacy techniques excluded from mempools for being spam.

With all this being said, if bitcoin is going to work, we shouldn't need to care about inscriptions. The promise of bitcoin is a global monetary network backing the entire financial world, if that is overtaken and its primary use case is a NFT trading platform, then bitcoin was doomed to fail in the first place. We have seen many shitcoin bubbles for over the past decade and this one is no different. The shitcoiners will eventually run out of fools to buy their scam and things will go back to normal, but we can't shoot our self in the foot trying to stop things prematurely, when we can just wait them out.

MicroStrategy's bitcoin acquisition strategy has been really on-point.

I analyze a lot of stocks and see how they manage their shares. Most companies are rather pro-cyclical in this aspect. They buy back a lot of shares when times are good and shares are expensive, and then when there's a recession they reduce or eliminate their share repurchases, ironically when shares are cheap and it would be better to buy them.

A small percentage of companies have more forward-thinking executives that manage to do this more counter-cyclically. They buy back more shares then they are cheap, and they retain more cash or do other things with their cash when their shares are more expensive.

MicroStrategy has been doing this quite well, except it's about the strategy of issuing shares for bitcoin, which if bitcoin continues to be successful will have more impact overall.

When MicroStrategy wants to buy more bitcoin (which is always), what they seem to be optimizing for is how many bitcoin can they get per share. That's what builds shareholder value in this context. So when MicroStrategy stock is trading at a valuation premium relative to its underlying bitcoin, they can take that opportunity to issue more of these expensive shares, and buy bitcoin with those proceeds. When there is not a valuation premium, they can focus more on just buying bitcoin with incoming cash flow, or exploring other low-cost financing.

So far, they have been really on-point about managing this.

NOSTR: Illuminating the Path in a World of Shadows

In the soul-draining expanse of conventional social media, akin to many others, I once found myself adrift in the ceaseless scroll, oblivious to the toll it exacted on my inner well-being, infected by the false propaganda  the centralized control manipulated me into believing. We ingest not just food but also music, news, social media posts, daily interactions, and the opinions surrounding us. Yet, this perpetual consumption seeps into our souls unless we deliberately shatter the cycle and choose a path of heightened awareness.

In an age where social media giants wield significant control over our lives profiting off of our behaviors and data, the quest for freedom and genuine connections becomes ever more elusive. Algorithms subtly mold our perspectives, sculpting our perception of reality. However, in the midst of this shadowed terrain, a glimmer of hope emerges embodied in Nostr—a decentralized protocol that calls us to reclaim our digital existence, nurture meaningful interactions, and liberate ourselves from the pervasive negativity of online experiences. Nostr offers us profound freedom, enabling us to rise above the clutches of algorithmic control.

Nostr transcends the confines of traditional social media platforms, heralding a revolution in how we connect and disseminate information. Rooted in the principles of decentralization and verifiability, Nostr grants users the authority to govern their own data and content. No longer are we beholden to the whims of opaque algorithms. Instead, Nostr champions transparency, inviting us to craft personalized experiences and engage in meaningful interactions.

One of the most insidious repercussions of centralized social media algorithms lies in their perpetuation of controlled agendas shaping our understanding of the world around us, and provoking our heart, fear, and emotions by cycling negative news. Platforms like Twitter, propelled by engagement metrics, often prioritize sensational and divisive content, subjecting us to an incessant deluge of negativity. Over time, this relentless barrage corrodes our mental and emotional well-being, causes divides amongst people, diminishes hope, and puppeteers people to auto tune to an agenda of their choosing. Those brave enough to see beyond these illusions and false fears are censored and shadow banned preventing their truth from being uncovered.

Nostr severs the chains of this insidious cycle. By decentralizing the flow of information, Nostr emancipates us from algorithmic echo chambers that entrap us in a spiral of despair. Users now possess the freedom to curate their own content without fear of censorship or shadowbans, shaping feeds that resonate with their individual interests and values. This intentional control over the information we consume nurtures a more balanced perspective, fostering a healthier and more mindful experience. Its liberation from the centralized social media overlords that once capitalized on our data signifies a departure from divisive media, reshaping our reality and narratives.

Nostr not only liberates us from the clutches of negativity but also nurtures the allure of authentic connections. Through its open protocol, Nostr allows diversity in clients, enabling the creation of unique apps, and alternative platforms tailored to specific needs, communities, resources, and more all accessible with your own unique private keys. With this, an interconnected network emerges, each with its distinctive essence and focus, allowing individuals to create, build, discover their tribe and engage in profound conversations spanning music, art, technology, and beyond.

The decentralized essence of Nostr ensures that no single entity monopolizes our online interactions. It fosters a sense of ownership and collective responsibility, wherein users actively participate in shaping the platforms they embrace. By embracing Nostr, we become co-creators of our digital spaces, cultivating authenticity, unleashing creativity, and forging profound human connections.

Nostr stands as a guiding light amidst a digital landscape dominated by centralized platforms and algorithmic control. It empowers us to curate our own experiences, liberating us from the grip of the negative news spiral and facilitating the cultivation of authentic connections. As we continue to guide others to navigate away from the ever-evolving realm of centralized control and social media, let us wholeheartedly embrace conversations around the freedom and transformative essence of Nostr. With Nostr, we’re reclaiming our digital autonomy and awakening to the true essence of human connection, and creating a sovereign digital footprint outside of corruption and control.

“And whenever the living creatures gave glory, honor, and thanks to the One who is enthroned and who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fell facedown before the one seated on the throne and they worshiped the one who lives forever and ever. And they surrendered their crowns before the throne, singing: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory, honor, and power, for you created all things, and for your pleasure they were created and exist.” Revelation 4:9-11

Businesses deciding to receive #bitcoin as payment is predicated on the business owner (or a Board) first coming to the conclusion that bitcoin will store value over time–that is the balance sheet decision. Once that conclusion has been made, it becomes a much more nuts-and-bolts execution question. Do I need #bitcoin to solve a savings problem or not? If I do, I'm logically motivated to acquire the bitcoin as efficiently as possible. Can I get it cheaper, more reliably and more securely receiving it directly via trade than buying it through a bitcoin exchange?”

The Roman Sterlingov case is a preview of what's coming if Bitcoiners don't take steps and build more privacy tools. The war against financial privacy is just getting started.

“Moreover, with personhood and private property as the praxeological foundation of contracts, then, any universal, all-encompassing and -including social contract as imagined by social-contract theorists is impossible. Rather: on this basis, all contracts are contracts between identifiable and enumerable persons and concerning identifiable and enumerable things or matters. No contract can bind anyone other than the actual contractors, and no contract can concern things or matters other than those specified in the contract. Accordingly: Real persons with their various real, separate and exclusive properties simply cannot—praxeologically cannot—conclude a contract as fancied by social contract theorists.”

It's so easy to criticize.

Creating something new is hard. Building equals sweating, so if you see someone sweating, err on the side of building them up rather than kicking them down. Encouragement is a superpower. Encourage honestly and emphatically, and you might end up with the world you want to see.


#Bitcoin was created as a response to the overreach of governments and central banks who are prone to abusing their ability to create money and determine who can and cannot receive or send that money via their rails. It is a great shame to see that dozens of exchanges within the bitcoin industry are not only not fighting back against these insanely Orwellian data collection mandates from unelected officials, but are welcoming them with open arms and forming a coalition to be as compliant as possible as to not upset the power drunk regulators. nostr:note1sql4j9fxw3jfwhzyqze7pm8f567l5swq8jyr0l20ssfvqvn0fdnsfl3fqh

“By establishing a monopolistic control over the issuance and distribution of money, as well as through the imposition of a given currency, legal tender laws not only disrupt the principles of a free market but also curtail consumer autonomy. These regulations are founded on the mistaken premise that money is a construct of the state thus placing the government at the heart of every transaction; as the final enforcer of all contractual agreements.”

That is all 💯


No matter how many new faces get elected, the reality is that the fundamental problems of society continue, because the political process is broken and corrupted; and the flawed monetary system remains unchanged. This isn’t something that can be voted away, because for centuries despite the different administrations that have come and gone in various countries; central banks have remain in charge and deeply entrenched as lords of finance.

Satoshi showed the world real leadership when he fixed the foundational problem with the monetary system without asking for permission or waiting to be elected. He didn’t wait for the next election cycle to be heard but went ahead to build the solution, while others camped outside Wall St banks during the Occupy Wall St movement. Looking back after 15 years, it’s clear who had the most impact on the world.

Now that we have a head start with #Bitcoin , don’t wait for any politico to save you. The advent of sound money has put 90% of them out of the job. If it’s not clear now it will be clearer later as the network continue to grow more robustly each day.  Build solutions to bring in the world you want to see and do so, on a sound money standard.

Worthy of a rewatch for all those building privacy tools and those that care about protecting their financial privacy.

https://youtu.be/epWbaeuGICc?si=L3Rgfm2RhdtVccpk


A legal tactic to be aware of is to make unfollowable laws, and then selectively enforce them.

So for example with this FinCEN proposal, add a ton of reporting requirements for all sorts of noncustodial transaction types, which puts tons of normal operators at risk and heavily disincentivizes them. It’s so broad as to apply to almost everyone, and even things they can’t report technically could be argued to be reportable (eg Lightning node router operator- report everyone you are routing for!). Now, everyone is a criminal; everyone has legal leverage against them which can be selectively deployed.

And if a “class of transactions” can be labeled under Section 311 of the Patriot Act as reportable, then why not also ban-able? Instead of sanctioning an actual entity, why not sanction a concept, a class of transactions, an expression of math?

Dangerous precedent.

Who gets your vote? You decide based on a groomed public image, speaking words written by others - all beamed for your pleasure through the media. The remaining 99% of their realities are invisible - except through the fog of accusations illuminated by their opponents.


I continue to view nostr:npub1a3hrd4wfawr578d5y5l0qgmh7lx8q6tumfq0h7eymmttt52veexqkcfg37 as one of the best podcasts out there. And probably the best podcast relative to its size.

They spent a whole episode talking about risks, which is important.

https://youtu.be/jzF6jg7d7-I?si=AObmQkcmU8iqkpJ-

Some podcasts speak to an echo chamber and reinforce their own views. Dan and Josh from Blue Collar Bitcoin are always reaching to challenge themselves and their audience.

As much as I like Austrian economic theory, what I really love is good money *winning in the field*. I love to see practical discussions about good money from people around the world who aren’t in the primary business of talking about money. They end up doing it more interestingly than most monetary theorists.

Your note leans more in the direction of 2 than 1 and I largely agree, but my only issue is the idea that He “allows suffering”.  My view is that a lot of the suffering that takes place is not because God allowed it but because Christians allowed it. The earth is man’s domain and God gave it to man to dominate and thus He can’t unilaterally move without man’s invitation, not because He doesn’t have the power to do so, but because that’s how He chose to do things. Matthew 18:18 also supports this idea as well as Philippians 2:7-9 and Matthew 28:18-19. Christians haven’t been using their authority in Christ to bind the works of darkness in prayer and in casting out devils, not just out of people but of regions and territories on the earth; hence evil is prevailing when it shouldn’t be. (Matthew 16:18-19, Mark 16:17-18)

We had no taxes until 1913. Prior to that we were the most productive nation on the planet. Now we barely move the needle compared to "third world countries" - As you coose to label the richest nations on earth - None of the top five imposing any taxes whatsoever.


The second reason makes sense, human beings are free moral agents that can choose to do good or evil. They aren’t robots, which the 1st reason implies implicitly, because if they were then the “robot programmer” would be at fault.


That’s what people like AJ and David Icke have been saying for decades. Most weren’t listening


“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.

“And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.” Thomas Jefferson,

Greetings, fellow skeptics! It's time for your weekly dose of news, brought to you with a side of sarcasm, irony, and a pinch of incredulity. In this week's edition, we'll be jet-setting off to Latin America, where the headlines are as spicy as a Colombian salsa and as tumultuous as an Argentine tango.

Colombia's Cocaine Craze: When Coke Takes Over Oil

So, you thought oil was Colombia's claim to fame? Well, think again! According to Bloomberg economics, cocaine is on track to snatch the crown and become Colombia's new cash crop. Cocaine exports raked in a whopping $18.2 billion in 2022, hot on the heels of oil, which pulled in $19.1 billion. Now, isn't that a nose-tweaking surprise?

What's even more amusing is that this newfound leniency towards drugs coincided with the rise of Colombia's first leftist President, Gustavo Petro. It's almost as if he's been binge-watching "Narcos" on Netflix for policy inspiration. Can we expect him to negotiate peace accords with drug lords next? Meanwhile, over in El Salvador, they're going full "zero tolerance" on gangs like MS-13. Ah, the contrast! Maybe we should send Gustavo a box set of "Narcos" to take notes.

As we ponder this delightful turn of events, remember, kids, just say no to drugs... unless you're the Colombian government, apparently.

Tucker Carlson's Milei-Stone Interview: From Fox's Loss to Argentina's Gain

In the world of broadcasting, numbers matter, and Tucker Carlson seems to be the man of the hour. His interview with Argentine Presidential candidate, Javier Milei, notched up a jaw-dropping 415 million views on X, as of time of writing. For context, even the mighty Donald Trump's chat with Carlson only managed 265 million views. Tucker Carlson, formerly of Fox News, where he averaged 3 million views, must be wondering why he didn't get the memo that being fired could make you even more popular. Tucker, we hope you're taking notes on how to turn a pink slip into a golden opportunity!

But here's the twist: eccentric investor, Bitcoin advocate, and "unofficial" El Salvador Ambassador, Max Keiser, claims that Milei's interview views are indicative of a hunger for accurate financial reporting in Latin America. Well, if that's the case, then aspiring entrepreneurs in the region and beyond might want to take notice. There could be an untapped market here for bold individuals ready to deliver accurate and engaging financial news.

Milei, a libertarian economist, author, former rockstar, and footballer (seriously, is there anything this guy hasn't done?), is on a pro-freedom, pro-Bitcoin, anti-socialism crusade in a country drowning in socialist policies. Argentina's official inflation rate is skydiving at 124.4%, their debt to GDP ratio is on the highway to 85%, and they're knocking on the IMF's door for assistance... again.

During the interview, Milei made some memorable promises, like not doing business with China, Russia, or any of those "comunistas" or "socialistas" if elected. Now, that's quite the vow, considering the size of those economies. But hey, who needs trade when you have conviction, right?. Bravo, Milei! We're with you, even if we secretly wonder if the Argentine economy can fit into a backpack compared to those behemoths.

And let's not forget to appreciate Milei's hair, which is a true homage to his rockstar days. It's like he's saying, "I may be a serious economist, but my hair is here to party!"

As for the IMF, Argentina has been in their emergency speed dial since 1958, and they hold the record for the largest IMF loan ever – nearly $57 billion in 2018. So, will Milei's bold stance work? Who knows, but one thing's for sure, it's going to be one heck of a show!

F-35 Disappears: Autopilot or Autocrazy?

In a twist that could rival a Hollywood thriller, the US Marine Corps (USMC) managed to misplace an $80 million F-35B warplane. Yes, you read that correctly. It's not your average car keys we're talking about; it's a cutting-edge piece of military hardware.

The story gets even stranger when you learn that the pilot ejected before the plane decided to pull a Houdini act. It's like the plane was tired of flying and just decided to ghost its pilot.

To make things even more surreal, the Marine Corps issued a 2-day "stand-down" for all aviation units, both in and outside the US, after this aviation escapade. Because when you lose an aircraft, the best response is clearly to ground all the others. It's almost as if they thought the plane might be hiding in the break room fridge or something.

Now, the plane was allegedly found in South Carolina, just 75 miles north of where the pilot ejected. But hold on a second, folks. This raises some pressing questions. How on Earth does one of the most advanced aircraft on the planet go missing for hours and then casually "crash"?

And speaking of irony, isn't it fascinating that the same government that doesn't want to trust its citizens with an AR-15 can just lose a warplane on autopilot? Maybe they should consider investing in "Find My Jet" technology.

So, dear readers, as we scratch our heads and wonder if our military hardware is playing hide and seek, we must ask ourselves: Did the F-35 go rogue, or is there something more mysterious afoot? And what's next? Misplacing an aircraft carrier?

CIA's Cover-Up Comedy: COVID Origins Edition

In the world of cloak-and-dagger, the CIA has been caught in yet another puzzling act. This time, it's all about the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that changed our lives.

Apparently, a "multi-decade, senior-level, current [CIA] officer" spilled the beans and claimed that the CIA paid off analysts to change their tune on the virus's origins. Six out of seven specialists initially thought it likely came from a lab in Wuhan, but hey, who needs scientific consensus when you can just throw money at the problem?

These scientists were offered "financial incentives," which we all know is secret-agent lingo for bribes. And voila, they magically concluded that the origin of the pandemic was "uncertain." You know, because nothing says "trustworthy science" like a good old-fashioned bribe. The CIA, of course, has denied this revelation, because when has the CIA ever been involved in covert activities, right?

It's been a wild ride investigating the origins of this pandemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci knowingly deceived the public, academic scientists played along, and the Defense Intelligence Agency's National Center for Medical Intelligence had its investigators silenced when they pointed fingers at a lab. Now, we add the CIA to the mix. Because, you know, when you're searching for the truth, it's essential to involve the world's most secretive and trustworthy agencies. So, here's a question for you, dear readers: Who in modern history has proven to be "trustworthy and honest" among the three-letter agencies? It's like asking which fish in the sea is the driest.

America's Trillion-Dollar Balloon

Let's talk money, folks—lots and lots of money. The U.S. national debt has officially reached a mind-boggling $33 trillion. That's right, with a 'T'! It's the kind of number that makes your calculator beg for mercy. To put it into perspective, that's more than the GDP of most countries on this planet.

Now, this debt has been growing at a rate that makes a wildfire look sluggish. In just a few months, it went from $32 trillion to $33 trillion. And some experts predict it's on track to top a jaw-dropping $50 trillion by the end of the decade. But who's counting, right?

To make matters worse, the government has been racking up debt at an average of $1 trillion per month since the debt ceiling "crisis." It's like a shopping spree with no budget, and the checkout counter is a distant memory.

Oh, and did we mention inflation is on the rise, hitting 3.7%? The biggest monthly jump since January! So, not only is Uncle Sam maxing out his credit card, but the prices of everything are climbing faster than a mountain goat on an espresso binge.

And here's the kicker: U.S. tax receipts are down nearly 10%. It's like trying to bail out a sinking boat with a sieve. With $1.9 trillion in U.S. bonds set to be issued to pay for deficit spending, it's starting to feel like a financial soap opera.

With the debt-to-GDP ratio standing at a jaw-dropping 129%, one has to wonder: Are we on the verge of a debt spiral? Can the U.S. keep juggling these financial grenades without dropping one? And hey, if you don't have some Bitcoin by now, are you even trying to stay afloat given these shambolic government finances?

Aliens,' or Just Really Bad Mannequins?

Now, let's venture into the realm of the absurd. Two alleged "non-human alien corpses" were unveiled in Mexico's congress. Yes, you heard that correctly, folks. E.T. made a pit stop in Mexico, apparently.

Journalist and self-described UFOlogist, Jaime Maussan, showcased these supposed extraterrestrial remains. But hold on a second! Before you start planning your Area 51 pilgrimage, let's consider the evidence. These supposed aliens look like they came straight out of a Halloween costume shop, and were the perfect mirror image of the stereotypical aliens we've seen in every sci-fi movie—a big head, a little body, and three fingers.  If these are aliens, they must be the interns of the intergalactic universe. Maussan claimed they were found in Peru in 2017 and estimated to be 1,000 years old. One of them was even allegedly pregnant. Because, you know, aliens get pregnant too.

Scientists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico distanced themselves from this cosmic circus. They claimed they were not involved in collecting the samples, nor did they come in contact with the full specimens. And just to sprinkle some skepticism on top, in the past, Maussan has revealed alien bodies that turned out to be the remains of a human child and "alien" specimens that were nothing more than paper and glue-covered dolls.

But fear not, because social media came to the rescue with a viral video that claimed one of these "aliens" was actually a cake! Yes, you heard that right, a cake. It turns out we've been slicing into cosmic confections all along. Alien life form or delicious dessert? You decide.

So, if these "aliens" were discovered in 2017, why are we only hearing about them now? And should we really trust these claims when the evidence looks more like props from a low-budget sci-fi movie? And finally, if these are our first "official" contact with non-human life from outer space, are they sending their B-team?

ECB's Interest Rate Hike: A Cure Worse Than the Disease

In a move that's about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to raise interest rates by a whopping 25 basis points. Why, you ask? Well, according to ECB President Christine Lagarde, they're on a mission to "return inflation to our 2% target."

Yes, you heard that right. To fight inflation, they're raising interest rates. It's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline, or solving a Rubik's Cube with a sledgehammer.

Lagarde boldly proclaimed, "Our mission is price stability. Our fight is against inflation. Our key tool is interest rates." It's almost poetic how they frame it, as if they're noble knights in shining armor riding off to rescue the economy from the dragon of inflation. But here's the punchline: it's the ECB's own monetary policy that's been fueling inflation. During the pandemic, they went on a money-printing spree, conjuring over 5 trillion euros out of thin air. And now, they're scratching their heads, wondering why prices are going haywire. It's like they're playing with matches in a fireworks factory and then wondering why things are suddenly exploding.

With a debt-to-GDP ratio of 91.6%, raising interest rates is like financial seppuku for the eurozone. But hey, who needs logic when you can have inflation? And don't even get us started on the EU parliament's collaboration with the ECB to "close the exits" with Orwellian legislation like MiCA, ensuring they can keep tabs on every financial move you make.

Imagine a future where the euro implodes like a deflated balloon, given it has already lost 40% of its value since its inception in 1999 one has to wonder: Is the eurozone really built to last? And what will the ECB's response be when the "next pandemic" hits? Will they continue to hit the panic button and print trillions like there's no tomorrow? What's next for the EU citizens? A future of economic uncertainty, lost savings, and financial surveillance? Time will tell

G20's Digital Dystopia: Your Mandatory Digital ID

In a twist that feels straight out of a dystopian sci-fi flick, the G20 announced plans to impose digital currencies and IDs worldwide. They want to impose digital currencies and IDs worldwide, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has issued a stern warning: those who refuse to accept the new digital ID scheme will be excluded from society. How generous! She even suggested that globally accepted standards for digital IDs should be created under the United Nations' watchful eye. Because if there's one thing we can trust, it's globalist organizations making decisions for us, right?

And let's not forget the "COVID-19 digital certificate" model, a shining example of functionality and trustworthiness. It's so functional that 51 countries adopted it for free. And now, the WHO uses it as a global standard. Who knew that a pandemic could be so lucrative for the tech industry? Nothing says "inclusive future" like excluding those who don't comply. It's like trying to build a peaceful utopia by force-feeding everyone broccoli.

Von der Leyen declared, "The future will be digital," as if we're all characters in a bad sequel to "The Terminator." She went on about AI and digital infrastructure, all while conveniently ignoring the potential for abuse and control by the state.

Are we witnessing the birth of a mandatory digital ID, straight out of the biblical book of Revelations? And will we soon be living in a world where AI rules and humans serve as mere cogs in the machine? Remember, the G20 is here to save us from the problems they've created. What could possibly go wrong?

Until next week, remember: keep your digital IDs close and your sense of irony closer. Stay tuned for more lighthearted lunacy next week, where we'll continue to explore the absurdities of our ever-changing world.

“Canada's monetary base expanded from $96.98B to $296.94B between 2020 and today. At one point in 2021 it almost hit $500b.

When you inject your economy with that much money in very short order, prices are going to rise. More dollars fighting for less goods will increase prices. “ nostr:note1fe6j9ssl9wxym8mn36rc22h42lw2kf7xj25nu43xxfnl55ehatysgyanqa

While no politico is perfect, I agree with Javier's disdain for communistas. Their ideology is founded on tyranny & their track record is one of oppression and violence. Central banking immediately comes to mind and it’s an institution that is a forerunner to the establishment of a communist society; as outlined by measure #5 of the communist manifesto which says, “Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.”

Sadly due to the acceptance of the myth of a “mixed economy”, while in reality no such thing exists. Mises once remarked, “There is no middle ground between capitalism and socialism. Either the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit, or they are owned and operated by the state."

Thankfully we have #Bitcoin, a tool that defanged central banks while simultaneously becoming the new foundation for truly free markets. Like Javier, may we not give an inch to any communista & their ideologies & getting #bitcoin in as many hands as possible is a critical first step towards that. https://video.nostr.build/a1b0f678dff6b66e4efb15bb277a23cae1be4e4a9cab8c30bbf15a1187ea6d8a.mov


“One data point that signals that the UN is losing the narrative battle is the fact that the video referenced above has been on YouTube for three months and has less than 1,ooo views as of writing. The Nobel Prize YouTube account has more than 500,000 subscribers. People have fallen in line in the past because they believe that lofty titles and alphabet soup acronyms mean that the people who hold those titles and walk those halls are important. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those titles and acronyms are nothing more than a projection tactic to make you believe that they are important. That you should listen to them. That they have control over you. At the end of the day, their control over you is derived from the undeserved respect they are shown by the unwitting masses who are easily duped by flashiness the facade of legitimacy.” nostr:note1fx284dr4nn0tgnyps4r4cpq7qachr0yfata4x4zhqjr23st4qahqxah4xr
