 They tried to kill the bitcoin president and he simply cannot be killed. 

We will rip to Valhall...

 I have less than no respect for anyone who still uses Twitter or X w/e

Say it here… 

Where no... 
 That's why nyms are essential. 
 It's just hangover from the bird app.  He will learn. 
 Programmable money (ETH, etc) is hard to scale. So people build Layer 2s.

But these Layer 2s are... 
 ETH is an obvious scam and should not even be in the discussion. 
 Scams (like ETH) actually scale better because they are centralized (read controlled).

Actual decentralization takes time and grass roots growth. 
 I'm not policing anything.  You're a pleb here just like the rest of us; construct better arguments.  Welcome to a meritocracy. 
 Leftists are scum 
 I don't think we have leftists anymore.  We have outright communists. 
 Total respect for all of you catching some signal in the void.  We're all plebs in this mess together. ❤️🙏🏼👊🤙🫡🌽

 Either we're going Mad Max or #Bitcoin backed currency. Your choice anon.

We govern ourselves at the end of the day right? 
 #Bitcoin is the re-capitalizing of the system. 
 2nd and 3rd level thinking is required. 
 The game theory is already in motion and nobody can do anything to stop it.  It's not a choice.  It's like gravity. #Bitcoin. 
 We're not entering the slave state; we're exiting it.  Most don't get that. 
 Nobody had a bigger incentive to create #Bitcoin than the US government.  But #Nostr is not ready for that. 
 If you're going to lose the reserve status to China (which we are) it's better that no one has it right?

If you're going to lose better off flipping over the table. 
 The US has the most to lose from losing currency printing privileges.  Instead of losing it you create a "neutral" alternative. 
 There is a distinct difference between the United States and the Fed.  One has been in control for decades and one has been put on the back burner.  DMs are open. 
 The US has the largest motive.  They do not want to lose reserve currency privilege.  Either way if satoshi was an independent actor or a US govt individual (not the Fed; very important distinction) the US has the most to lose.  

How do you create a bid for your paper bonds?  Re capitalize the system with something of value. 
 NOSTR.  There is a difference between the FED and the US Govt.  The FED has controlled the US since 1971.  Its not LEFT vs RIGHT is FED vs YOU. nostr:note14tlm44q7dgnypa7ta5fhuwdtkkq4nayxc0z7wt5a3lglwp2yfyaqn4wcgm 
 Yup the "Love Trumps hate" crew is totally culpable.  Propaganda has consequences. 
 All the world is a stage. Question everything. Especially the events of today. 
 Wringling brothers shooter picks off earlobe of president-elect in amazing stunt!  IT WAS ALL STAGED! 
 Bystanders died bro.  You're too far gone. 
 Mises says that a country can be considered capitalistic if it has a stock market. I love Mises, ... 
 The fed actively intervenes in the US futures market - admittedly (more important than the "stock" market)

The stock market is for the public (pleb money) the futures market is for nation state money. 
 There once was a president who wanted to back the US dollar with silver

He was shot in the head
... 
 NOSTR does not understand this 
 Germany also dumped 🍊 this week 👀👀 
 Reports #Trump will attempt to attend the #UFC tonight


 
 Over under on this happening?  Watching.... 
 It would be ELECTRIC. 
 It really takes a specially severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome to believe that a guy who h... 
 Fucking YES!  Thanks you!! 
 We likely won’t ever know the complete truth of this event but it smells like a psyop.

You can... 
 He was already a lock for the election.  No need to bolster the odds.  It was a legitimate attempt.  Nobody shoots an ear off on purpose. 
 Even if they do it's still an L.  This is a war between the Fed and the US government.  BTC is at the center of the war.  Same reason they knocked Kennedy for trying to end the fed. 
 IS NOT LEFT VS RIGHT IS US GOVT VS FED 
 There is a war between the Federal Reserve and the US government.  Most people don't get that. 
 This Trump assasination attempt looks staged. If so, I saw this happen once before before an elec... 
 He already had the election on lock...why would he need an assassination attempt? 
 The left is fucking deranged.  That is all. 
 Wasn't going to vote but now I am.  We're dealing with evil. 
 It will adjust attitudes which will adjust behavior. 
 As much as you hate the state it will persevere and BTC is integral to that plan.  America will thrive again and the govt will shrink with the destruction of the Fed.  

You honestly think they sniped his earlobe off?  GTFO 
 No lol shooters miss by a foot.

Listen and learn.  Maybe shoot a rifle at distance . 
 Think for yourself, hold hard money, avoid govt mandates.  It's easy. 
 You can opt out at any time.  The smart people own the corn and are not jabbed.  Reading the statecraft is not hard. 
 The USA is not going to fall apart.  We're going to adopt BTC, the US govt is satoshi (this is how they liberate themselves from the fed) and we're not going sideways.  

Government backs the $ by satoshis.  Game set match. 
 😂😂😂 
 1% chance someone shot off an ear on purpose.  99% failed assassination attempt.  I'll take my odds.

Adjust your worldview on new information.  That's crucial.  I'm trying to help you.  🤙🙏🏼👊 
 The US is going to have to rescue the whole world again 
 They got what they needed out of him.  On to the next appointed leader. 
 In time,  B T C will also change your ideals on #Philanthropy

#RandomThoughts 
 I think taxes inhibit philanthropy and in turn suppress empathy.  Because there are "services" that taxes fund available to those who need help.  We have outsourced the help to the state . 

If individuals held and controlled all their wealth there would be much more #Philanthropy in the world.

 What is this, a dip for ants?

 How do people on Nostr feel about smart locks? 
 Get one without a phone app. 
 I don't have any evidence that this works, but I think you might be able to get your phone number... 
 I've done this a few times and seems to help. 
 Most of us are just buying the coin.  That's all. 
 Interesting.
