 Andreas Antonopoulos mentioned the BitcoinObituaries.com website. Is this it? Is it still online?

 I'm telling you your house is on fire but the message doesn't matter because I look dumb. 😆 
 
They do look a bit dumb though 
 MacLeod has been noting since 2021 that the #BIS quietly changed the rules to essentially force TBTF banks to cover unallocated #gold shorts by mid-2022 to reduce risks to the banking system if the price of gold went up a lot in a nearly binary fashion, looking more auspicious still.

  @Deleted Account Any chance of adding any of these security features to Mutiny wallet:

-lockdown mode

#bitcoin 
 what is coming soon.

We’re getting close to the main event that will define your entire life no matter where you live. The collapse of the US empire will create a tsunami everywhere, and where you live will determine the size of the wave you get hit with. The signs are present, yet the government in the US has removed all the fire alarms, signifying the event is closed. This is why all their data on all things economic are faked and have been revised over the last three years. Sovereigns are already unloading US debt around the world. Some of them are in massive fashion, which will keep inflation and interest rates high in the US, cratering real estate. Real Estate losses will be unbelievable for Americans, Europeans, Canadians, and Australians. US government treasury bonds are now a toxic asset everywhere in the world. This explains why Bitcoin made an All-time high before the halving of this cycle. That has never happened. Gold has even risen by 30% in the last six months. Money printing is all they have left to slow the bleeding of the economic slaves in the Western world. Few of you realize what the moves in those countries are signifying. The Ponzi scheme is over. Expect soaring inflation and a massive crash very, very soon. No one is coming to save you. You must act to save yourself with decentralized thinking. 
 Bitcoin looks like religion to people who have no religion. 
 Almost as if we were made this way. We self organize around things we love.  
 Bitcoin gives us a little slice of paradise as Micah 4:4 states:

Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree,
and no one will make them afraid.  
 
98% of nations or political states that hit 130% sovereign debt to GDP in the last 225 years had hyperinflation, default, or war within 15 years.

That means your historical EXPECTATION is for the USA to have a major war, default, or hyper-inflationary event in the mid-late 2030s or sooner.

Other options are obviously possible, but for it to take longer than 2030s would be (by definition) a historical outlier… For it to never happen is even more remote.

To assume “X can’t happen because our economy is big” is to be historically naive… 

Germany was the 5th largest economy when it underwent hyperinflation in the early 20th century.

The Dutch went from global superpower defeating the British in multiple wars and colonizing modern New York to default.

The Spanish Empire produced 80% of the world’s silver then hyperinflated.

China in the 12th century. Egypt. The Persians. Britain. France. Japan. India. On and on…

It is entirely possible to have a currency or debt reset without the end of the world. Default is the optimistic scenario.

The reason we can guarantee our debts in nominal terms is because we guarantee debasement in real terms.

It is a mathematical certainty debasement will occur because we guarantee to never become nominally insolvent.

This is not a debt problem, but a debt-to-equity problem.

What were to happen if instead of collapsing under debt, the United States were to just add #Bitcoin    to it’s balance sheet and pump it up thus making itself solvent again?

Few understand the game of musical chairs.

In the same way Michael @saylor destroys the monetary premium of his stock, increases debt, and buys #Bitcoin   … governments will be forced to consider the same.

The only way to save your company/government becomes to destroy the political currency premium ASAP via converting it into #Bitcoin    premium.

The optimal path for one to protect themself is to transition from fiat to #Bitcoin   … from the individual to the billionaire to the nation-state.

We will cross the chasm where #Bitcoin    goes from being viewed as a speculative internet number to being the backing behind political currency in of itself.

We are approaching a cliff of unsustainability where the universal answer is to plug the ever-widening insolvency hole with an ever-faster printer forcing the #Bitcoin    price ever-higher.

A million simulations, countless historical examples, and game theory all pointing to the same direction.

In short:…

When few want to buy your bonds+fiat because it is backed by nothing print more of it out of nothing and dump that new supply onto those still willing to sell #BTC    for it… This works until the latter group has fully transitioned to the former (which you are accelerating).

Then… infinite bid.

Printing your currency for #Bitcoin    becomes the only way to stay solvent today but in doing so you make the end state of nobody wanting your currency only more inevitable.

Max pain for #Bitcoin    is up, up, up.

 Finally figured out how to block the altcoin / nft Twitter spaces. Unfollow the people on stage or in the audience. The person in the audience that you're following will be at the top.

Also muting that user will also hide the space (if it's the only person that you're following in the space)
