Nobody wants embarrassing public meltdowns. Might not be the cause cause, but it is close enough.
With all that is going on in my life and in the world the meltdown is pretty much guaranteed at this point. Just a matter of when…
Autism is a gift they say. Some days I agree, other really not.
Social media always makes it worse and far more embarrassing.
I have seen glimpses of the future and it is stressing me
USD (as the world reserve) is the illness.
Bitcoin is the cure.
Do you expect the people running the illness to embrace the cure?
The rest of the world is where it will happen
First one should land.
I doubt about the second, unless it ends with Russia getting all it wants.
Third one… meh. Unless they plan to buy a big big dip.
No true “in favor of Bitcoin” can come out of the USA. The rest of the world is where it truly happens.
The president after him (2028) will be extremely influential for the adoption of Bitcoin world wide. Not sure if intentionally, or because of many many fuck ups.
The game ends when the price of Bitcoin becomes meaningless and all that matters is the price in Bitcoin.
I used to work with a fascist.
We had very amicable relationship despite the very different political point of view. I’d invite him over to eat and vice versa.
The mutual respect came from our authenticities. He never tried to present himself as anything other than a fascist.
Dear covert facists, own it! We’ll respect you a whole lot more.
Strong man good, foreigner bad. Have fun!
Sugar, fat and salt. Hit the right ratio and you have created a powerful drug. The intent is not to make you sick, just hooked. The result is you get sick.
Why would a dealer (food) want its customer to get hooked?
I never tried heroin. If I did, I’d be probably hooked by now.
We are wired to take advantage of (naturally rare) food that packs high amount of sugar/fat/salt. We feast on it as much as we can because it used to be rare. Honey is a good example.
As to buying their products… YOU don’t. I don’t (anymore) but what about the other 8 or so billion people on the planet?
Imagine I got you hooked to heroin as a kid…
I’d blame my parents AND the dealer. Even more so when the dealer has access to information proving that what he is doing is harmful to a child. Everyone is responsible.
Let me put it this way… congratulations for your judgment and self control. I wish you to look at those who are still lost with compassion.
The cycle is young. A whole lot can happen before its “maturity”
BTC hit 1k when 100 was enough (x10)
It hit 20k when 1k was enough. (X20)
It then hit 70ishK when 10k was enough (x7)
For this cycle, 100k is enough. (We can hit that or 2-3x that in 2026 or even 2027.
2028 cycle leads to 1M… by 2030 BTC can replace the USD as world reserve.
Extremists all share one thing in common, the inability to perceive shades of grey. Everything is either black or white. I suspect IQ plays a role in this.
Land. (But only if it has a source of water)
Bitcoin.
Probably real estate. Good source of income, everyone needs a home.
Why not Bitcoin? Because it does not make sense on the long term if we hit 1BTC=1BTC mindset. It would be good for 5-7 years and then…?
If you have read about Bitcoin you understand it’s not a get rich scheme. It’s a get free scheme.
I’ll celebrate at 80! Why? Because it means it works, it offsets inflation .
The next next US president (2028) will be the most influential president ever. For the USA and for the world.
Not sure if because he will be so good or because he (or she) will make massive fuck ups.

He does speaks facts. The USA’s current true economic power is underwhelming when looking at import/exports/production.
If the US loses its ability to steal from other economies via the dollar, it faces third world status as an outcome.
“The Nazis are coming, fight back”
“The Communists are coming, fight back”
“The Capitalists are coming, fight back”
The 50’s and 60’s would like their thrones back.
The Toxic Liars are coming (in many shapes and form). fight back
In 1622 a commitee of cardinals was formed by Pope Gregory XV.
They were called the Congregation de Propaganda Fide.
Their goal was to push biased and misleading ideas in foreign territories… sorry their goal was to run foreign missions.
Consent and the manufacturing of it. They, and the many propagandist and public relation expert that followed them would have wet dreams if they know the tools in use today.
Doesn’t matter who you are, doesn’t matter who you vote; you are a victim of propaganda.
Divide and conquer. It always works, until it all comes down burning.
The funny aspect to me is that Bitcoin is all about reclaiming the means of production (of money) and giving it to the people.
The boogeyman! There is always the need of the boogeyman, there is always the need of “the others”
Fucking buzzwords and buzzwords spewers. Leftist, capitalists, marxisists, libertarian… hate them all.
In my lifetime I have seen the USA go from the center of the world to… whatever the fuck it is now.
I’d like to thank the following people:
Regan
Bush Senior
Clinton
Bush Jr
Obama
Trump
Biden
It would not have been possible without you!
2030 cannot come soon enough.
What if it comes up tomorrow but way hotter than usual? Not so hot that you burn instantly, just hot enough to make you suffer for a couple of years… should I worry?
I guess my example was a bad one but I wanted to keep it absurd. Worry makes you prepare. Whether I like it or not my brain goes through the scenarios one by one à la Dr Strange.
You know when I stop worrying? When it becomes true and suddenly everyone else understand: the sun is not coming up
Gonna be honest, had not heard people discuss communism in ages. before joining Nostr. I thought it was pretty much extinct and out of the discussion.
To me, all this feels like a bad movie from the 50’s
