 It's scary how normies just instantly revert to the propaganda they have been force fed for decades.  It's like a hypnosis.  

Not a single critical thought just pure regurgitation. 
 Remember when everyone used to download MP3s and rip CDs?  

That was the last time the public actually controlled its own data.

 Do "idiots with inferiority complex" not have the right to self defense?  Or just not self defense with a gun? 
 Totally see your point and for the sake of understanding I partially agree with you.  

For my understanding, do guns give governments or "people with authority" superior power against others?  Eg a police officer might feel superior to others when having a gun. 
 When we create news it's journalism.  When they create news it's propaganda. 
 The goal is to only allow the trade of #Bitcoin in dollars.  Same way the US only allowed trade of oil in dollars.  

Expect any international exchange trading #Bitcoin in a different currency to be swiftly stomped out. 

Petro dollar -> #Bitcoin dollar.

 The events of the last week have shown a large majority of people just want to be told comforting lies.

The entire political divide boils down to people who engage with reality as it is and those that accept the reality of their choosing.

 Hello World! 
 Anybody recommendations on why and how to fast 

Is fasting from 20:00-12:00 enough? 

What are t... 
 This is my "bro science" take as a pretty active weight lifter.  

It has to do with your body being in a catabolic vs anabolic state.  Keeping yourself in a catabolic state will cause weight loss, anabolic is your body building itself up.  

Training while in a catabolic state (calorie deficit) your body will breakdown fats and proteins because it does not have excess carbohydrates to use as fuel.

Training in an anabolic state (calorie surplus) your body will store fats and build muscle (proteins) and burn excess carbs.

It just depends on your goals.  Weight training in a catabolic state will basically burn fats and you will maintain muscle.  

Wights in a anabolic state your body will store carbs as fat while it builds muscle.

I think there is a balance where you can find a happy medium if you want to maintain your body type.  Generally I just listen to what my body needs/wants and feed it when I know it's going to want fuel or does not need fuel.

When I'm heavy into the weights I eat like a freak, heavy on proteins and carbs; basically I want to feel semi full all the time.  Your body needs excess calories to build muscle.  Generally along with that you store some fat. Lots of people call this "bulking" (anabolic); calorie surplus.  Something close to eating every 4-5 hours and alot less sleep (body needs less rest because it has excess fuel).

Alternatively when I'm feeling a bit heavy/fat after bulking I'll start "cutting" (catabolic); calorie deficit.  Im moderately hungry a lot. But my body is burning that fat off.  More so lean in on cardio, weights in this state will generally just maintain strength.  Eating every 6-8 hours alot more sleep (body needs more rest to rebuild because it lacks fuel).

Your body does not just switch into anabolic or catabolic quickly, usually takes a week or two for your body to adjust to the changes in caloric intake.  Generally feels like "resetting" your appetite.  All depends on your goals! 
 Those are great carbs!  Milk protein is amazing as well.  Not all carbs are the same and not all proteins are the same!

Muscles are built in the kitchen just as much as the gym. Happy training! 🤙🫡👊

 I don't see why you would have any sort of process to "burn" keys.  We can have infinite amounts of them.  Old keys would just become dormant.  It's like a phone number but we have infinite amounts of the. 
 The money is going to come from you and your productive labor.  I'm going to hangout and watch TikTok. 
 This is the only way it would possibly be funded.

Let's say governments were honest and never debased currency.  All the productivity improvements would have accrued to the populous, giving individuals more wealth and free time.  In a bitcoin world this would be how it would work.

Think of all the technological improvements in the last 50 years; that has all been harvested (read stolen through inflation) by governments for their own interests.  If we had a normal economy everyone would be working 20 hours a week.  But we don't because our value is stolen from us.  

In short we don't need UBI it's an insulting proposal to begin with.  It basically says a portion of the population is not worth any value to society.  We need hard money and people would live comfortably and create value for the world. 
 It's an interesting thought.  Inflation keeps us working, even if it's in a job that's not useful to soceity.  What was providing you a comfortable living 5 years ago is now sub standard.  The problem is there is no way to get off the inflation hamster wheel ex #Bitcoin.   

I think global wealth will have to be close to evenly distributed before we get to a time where human flourishing is of peak importance.  Everyone will hold enough wealth where they don't *have* to work.  Bitcoin will start that process. 
 Hit me with your best theory or perspective, #Bitcoin  friends: 

We've got major ETFs buying hu... 
 ETH suppresses bitcoin.  Print infinite dollars create infinite ETH.  Sell ETH into the market.  Forces sells in BTC.  Buy ETH, rinse and repeat. 

The $ price is controlled until ETH disappears. 
 Fink giving the #Bitcoin green light on CNBC allows the Wall St sheep to buy it without consequence.

This is how the industry works; nobody steps out unless someone higher up steps out first.  They will all fall in line. #Rippey 
 The dedication to your craft is impressive. 
 1% better every day!
Love seeing your progress! 
 In reality almost all of the Bitcoin is already spoken for. When the 95% get the slightest inclination; it's all gone.  You won't be able to ever buy it.  99% of dollars will be stuck in the fiat system eternally.

 The risk of having kids with a girl far outweigh the benefits.  You're essentially welcoming the state into your life and giving the woman the keys to your vault.  Hit it and quit it until society changes.  

I'd love to have kids but I'm far too rational.
