The neighbors of Valencia kick out the journalists of the public television (TVE).

This is going to get worse with time because people are not going to receive any help from the government and the social discontent will increase.

The eruption of the La Palma volcano occurred in 2021 and as of today, the families who lost their homes are still living in containers.

If the government has been unable to provide help to the families of the 1676 homes destroyed by the lava during the 3 years since it happened, how do you expect the government to offer help to the more than 77000 homes that have been affected in Valencia?

And play the long game.

The Valencia community has launched the website http://help-bitcoin.org to provide more information and answer questions about Bitcoin donations. The goal is to include details about how the funds will be managed, what plans are in place for their use, and the proposals that can be considered for their allocation.

The site will be available in both Spanish and English, ensuring greater visibility, outreach, and transparency regarding all collected contributions: https://help-bitcoin.org.

Thank you so much for the incredible support from the community; I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

In case you are not aware, we are experiencing an unprecedented level of destruction in Valencia. Many friends and neighbors are without access to electricity, food, or water. Multiple cities have underground parking structures completely flooded, and almost a week later, it’s unknown how many people were inside their cars, as many tried to retrieve them when they realized what was coming.

Please support this initiative. The Spanish government is showing how slow and inefficient they can be, and it’s efforts like this one that are truly helping the people.

Thank you! https://image.nostr.build/5389e72c0082f2fec27f7f6874df4d48b8abcb32e0772d43b4f126b68ebcbee1.jpg  nostr:note1vdlktmu6p75v2uk60e4lc3js4rtd26jknl7rr5z5f9lazzhxefrs83mwl2

Well, spanish President -- playing politics -- didn't send enough help because he said that regional goberment (from another party) "didn't ask for help and if they need it they should ask".

For everyone who is getting fatigued with Bitcoin’s recent price action:

Over the last decade, the average return in #Bitcoin for the top 10 days each year was 184%, and the average return (loss) for all of the remaining days each year was −10%.

Patience eventually pays off, big time.


Has anyone else noticed that LinkedIn has become a wild orgy of self-promotion and sales pitches?

I recently reopened my account after a few years of inactivity to reconnect with previous colleagues and do some networking , as I'm starting my own business after a lifetime of being an employee but I'm finding it extremely overwhelming - it seems like everyone is trying to sell me something rather than genuinely networking or exploring new opportunities.

And to be honest, I'm starting to feel like I'm getting sucked into the vortex myself... I've even caught myself posting in a way that feels more like a sales pitch than anything else lately. It's like I'm losing myself in the process.

Is it just me, or has the platform shifted completely away from its original purpose of connecting professionals and facilitating meaningful connections?

I’m starting to realize it might not be that daunting… any experience to share?


Love this, thank you!


Thank you!!


To be honest that comment about they knowing better what’s best for my daughter made me even think that there’s a bigger issue in these institutions…


That’s a fair point, thanks!


Appreciate it, thank you!

That's a great resource! Thank you for the link!


Thank you! The more I think about it the more convinced I am... I hope you become a father soon, it's the most extraordinary thing a man can experience!


Unfortunately not an option at this moment :(


The guidance is actually to understand where to start with #homeschooling


Thank you!


Thank you for this! I’ll definitely check it out!


My 7-year-old daughter has been doing really well in school up until now, but this year she's been placed in a class with a teacher who seems overly focused on woke ideology, and also with a child who has two transgender parents and who also identifies as a different gender depending on the weather, seriously. I'm concerned about the potential impact this could have on her development and values, and I've already expressed my concerns to the school. Unfortunately, they rejected my request to move her to a different class, telling me that they know what's best for my daughter. I strongly disagree with their decision, and to be honest, I'm seriously considering homeschooling as an option. However, I'm also aware that it requires a lot of patience and time. Can anyone offer some guidance on where to start?


My dad bought some corn on Coinbase (didn't know any better) maybe 2 years ago. Was considering buying more and I took the opportunity to buy him a Bitkey and educate him on self custody.

We did a small $25 transaction to practice. Worked fine. Went to send the rest and Coinbase put his account under review. Estimated completion OCTOBER 15th!  Bunch of crooks

They did say he can sell it today and withdrawal the cash. They just won't let him transfer the corn. UNREAL

Following Lyn’s approach in her work on Broken Money, mentioning Nostr, I’ve added a specific section related to Nostr in this Bitcoin educational course.

Welcome! nostr:note1st887qg6qxzalmp5qe8unucgwu9gzkwg0ddhys2u593ul6q5mamsln79nx


Trying Nostr for the first time.
Hi everyone👋🏻


Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)


Kamala seems clueless, Trump opportunistic, and RFK a bitcoiner.


I don’t think Trump’s team realized how important this speech was.

For many people, it was their first time listening to a full speech from Trump.

This wasn’t just another speech. Sadly, his team treated it like any other speech.

Missed opportunity.

RFK seems to be the real bitcoiner


De nada Jon! 🤙

Bitcoin has given me this wonderful sense of calm and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that. It’s taken quiet focus and steady stacking with doubt at first, then a serene confidence, now a deep sense of inner peace. This is something I wish for everyone.

Reminder for Millennials/Gen Z to never let a boomer lecture you about how you're poor because you're just "lazy, entitled, and need to work harder."

The politicians of their generation kicked the enormous can of debt and inflation down the road to us, so they could enjoy a "portfolio of houses", artificially-pumped stock market, social security, etc. without having to pay the real price for any of it—they simply passed the tab down for YOU to deal with.

Next time you're having this conversation with older family members, feel free to show them this chart. But don't expect them to understand; they've been indoctrinated harder than anyone to believe that their 3 boats, 5 cars, and 1,000x return from throwing a dart at any stock in the market are because of their hard work and "pulling up those bootstraps," NOT because they got a lifelong free ride on the infinite money printer.


My understanding:

Ordinals: I want to store a JPEG of my pet dog, I don't care about fees, so I'll pay a high fee, but I can wait a week.

Runes: I want that unique Sat before anybody else, I have to pay to guarantee to get into the next block otherwise somebody else will get it, therefore I'll pay any fee necessary.

Is this correct?

My #Bitcoin discovery journey is the most refreshing, energising, hope-filling continuous experience I’ve ever went through.
I’ve worked in & around Tech for the past 24 years, and never thought I could get so excited by a technology. The closest to this was the internet, but I was young & immature then.
Now I see a new reality manifesting before our eyes through a game-changing invention, deeply rooted in principles of sovereignty and liberty for individuals, while strengthening us as a collective. A wise, powerful collective.
For me, Bitcoin is the earthly manifestation of the spiritual ascension in human consciousness.

Bring on the halving.

At the end of the Economics of Bitcoin panel at Cheatcode with Preston Pysh, nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt, I offered a book recommendations list that will 100x your economic understanding and appreciation of Bitcoin.

After the talk, 20+ people asked me to write it down, so here it is, all books available for free in pdf, epub, and audiobook:

## Theory and History
### by Ludwig von Mises

This is about the theoretical foundations of Praxeology, Mises explains methodological dualism and defines the axiom of action, from which economic science can be deduced. At first glance it seems dry to read, but the ideas and concepts are very juicy.

https://mises.org/library/book/theory-and-history-interpretation-social-and-economic-evolution

## Economic Science and the Austrian Method
### by Hans Hermann Hoppe

Hoppe's foundational masterwork using a synthetic apriori proposition to define the axiom of argumentation, the bedrock for the deduction of a reasonable ethics. For centuries it was not possible to "derive an ought from an is", and Hoppe triumphantly proves that in fact a private property society ought to be.

https://mises.org/library/book/economic-science-and-austrian-method

## Man, Economy and State, with Power and Markets
### by Murray Rothbard

This is Rothnard's magnum opus treatise, the one book you must read to understand everything there is in economic science. It is full of beautiful logic, compelling history, and a very entertaining prose, Rothbard is a master wordsmith. Power and Markets is a deep dive into hard core anarchist thought, demolishing the illusion of government authority, so radical it got cut from the original print.

https://mises.org/library/book/man-economy-and-state-power-and-market

## The Ethics of Money Production
### by Jörg Guido Hülsmann

A solid exploration of the economic and moral consequences of inflation, a fascinating history of monetary interventionism, with insights from numerous religious scholars. This book shined a spotlight on this most devilish trick which turns humanity into a pack of looters and demolished the production stages of a civilization. It's published the year before the Bitcoin whitepaper, even mentioning the difficulty of creating digital base money, and I bet my stack that Satoshi read this book as he was designing bitcoin.

https://mises.org/library/book/ethics-money-production

## Cryptoeconomics, Fundamental Principles of Bitcoin
### by Eric Voskuil

This is not only the single best book about Bitcoin, it is also a monumental achievement in praxeological thought among those of Mises and Hoppe, because Voskuil introduces the axiom of resistance. This is the missing puzzle piece to articulate an applicable strategy of security and defense, without which freedom tech like Bitcoin cannot be understood. Voskuil has accurate definitions and solid arguments that lead to a proper understanding of each aspect of Bitcoin.

Life had taught me lessons. I do not see people at my cross road, because humans are not reliable.  I only see God as the author and finisher of my faith.

Every single person is affected by a financial term called the Cantillon Effect, but we're never taught about it in school 🏫

Covid lockdowns, inflation, supply chain issues, and war have impacted your purchasing power and the value of your savings, but some people are affected much more than others. How is this possible? 🤔

Once you learn about this simple principle, the strange ways in which the financial system works begin to make sense.https://m.primal.net/HwWy.mp4


testing out Strike Europe we just realized our USD/EUR cross-currency payments are way better than Wise and everyone else.

was a total accident. we haven't even spent time optimizing or taking a closer look. we're initially focused on core functionality like buy/sell/dca/free on-chain payments/core lightning wallet/etc

this is just the outcome of Strike having:

USD/BTC <--> BTC/EUR

we also support SEPA instant in Europe and we'll be turning on RTP payments in the US this month. so soon not only can we do cheap & instant USD <> EUR but then customers can also have the payments instantly cashed out to their bank

Lightning as an open value transfer protocol is insane. it still blows my mind every time. crazy to see it all come together too. exciting

## **Expectations**

Those of us born between 1981 and 1996 are considered Millennials. Over the decades, many of us witnessed the evolution from cassette tapes to CDs, from VHS tapes to DVDs, from MS-DOS to Windows, from floppy disks to 3M diskettes, from making calls on memorized landline numbers to sending SMS messages, from playing soccer in the streets to playing FIFA online, and from using Walkmans to listening to digital music on iPods. We've been acutely aware of how technology has sculpted our lives. We were arguably the most promising generation to date, quick to adapt to technological changes, eager to innovate, and ready to improve whatever we set our minds to. With the right tools within our reach, we felt capable of overcoming any challenge, poised to boost our productivity exponentially and introduce a new vision for the future that could redefine the world as we knew it. However, this generation, almost imperceptibly and in just a moment, plummeted into despair.

## **Reality**

Now, the vast majority of us millennials find ourselves in a new phase of life, arguably the most burdensome yet: juggling work, family, schools, extracurricular activities, bills upon bills, mortgages, loans, credit card payments, interests, investments, and retirement plans. The hope of transforming the world as we once envisioned has dimmed; the once bright future now seems grim, devoid of prosperity, leaving us fearful for what lies ahead for our children. What's more, many of us have chosen not to bring more children into this already troubled world, a decision that's as terrifying as it is telling. This raises the question: were we ever truly prepared to face the realities ahead, or did we overestimate our abilities to such an extent that we overlooked the wisdom of previous generations who, unwittingly, have cornered us? In essence, the generation poised to revolutionize the world has been swallowed by unforeseen forces.

https://image.nostr.build/f9d4f01ca2d4ce55c09a3b7138837f4738e22afa586fd26769f894ba20877df9.png

## **How Did We Get Here?**

Consider this: How many people do you know who are genuinely happy in their jobs? How many have complained about unbearable bosses, contemplated quitting, or actively sought new employment, yet feel trapped by the necessity of their paycheck to cover mortgages and bills? This situation is emblematic of a larger issue. Life isn't merely black and white; it's filled with nuances. Yet, by examining the reasons behind our generation's precipitous fall, we uncover critical insights:

Financial illiteracy is rampant; the intricate world of finance, with its convoluted jargon, remains a mystery to most. A select few have cracked the code, reaping the rewards, while the majority have been left floundering, chasing dreams of innovation without a clear understanding of the financial game.

The productivity boon promised by our technological proficiency has evaporated. Tasks that once took 8 hours are now completed in 15 minutes, without any corresponding decrease in work hours or a sevenfold increase in pay. Instead of experiencing a reduction in costs, we've been schooled in the belief that "prices always rise," a simplistic and ultimately misleading justification for our economic woes.

Social media has taken control of our collective consciousness, fostering an environment where critical thinking is drowned out by an incessant stream of content. This has led to a pervasive culture of comparison, where desires are shaped by the curated lifestyles of influencers, further distancing us from reality.

The convergence of these factors has fostered a short-term, profit-driven mentality, where the relentless pursuit of money, often through questionable means, overshadows the genuine value of work and community. Trapped in a cycle of consumption and competition, we've lost sight of what truly matters, relegating ourselves to roles that neither fulfill us personally nor contribute meaningfully to society.

## **The Trap**

https://image.nostr.build/03498543629caf8976628ccfa97ad6758d8e52ccdee2e90f45f9f3a7f331b329.png

The plight of many millennials — unable to start families, overburdened by work, priced out of homeownership, and suffocated by inflation — paints a bleak picture of the future. Contrary to the belief that hard work and dedication would guarantee a better life, we've stumbled into a trap. This misconception, inherited from our parents, fails to account for the systemic issues at play. Central banks and governments, through ingenious financial manipulation, have orchestrated a legal form of theft: inflation. Contrary to popular belief, inflation isn't a natural byproduct of scarcity or human activity; it's the result of deliberate currency issuance, enriching a select few at the expense of the many.

As a result, our once-promising generation has fallen victim to a grand deception, trapped in a system that prizes short-term gains over sustainable progress, leaving us striving for an ever-elusive sense of abundance. This paradox, as highlighted by Jeff Booth in "The Price of Tomorrow," suggests we've unknowingly consented to a society built on the principles of theft, disguised as inflation, systematically draining our resources and aspirations without our realization. To truly understand the magnitude of this predicament, we must turn to the some numbers, confronting the harsh realities of our current economic landscape.

## **The Numbers**

https://image.nostr.build/b0e13c07b5d5fb5cb76f618cee7abb841c6907432396c094c756496d360464b4.png

Delving into the numbers, it's essential to grasp that people value money for what it can buy, not for itself. This understanding is key when considering productivity's role in our economy. Guy Swann explained this in very simple example on one of his 'Guy's take' videos. Imagine society becomes on average 5% more productive annually. If one family expenses were $100,000 last year, a 5% boost in productivity would mean they only need $95,000 for the same goods and services this year.

Yet, central bank policies, like the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target, distort this picture. Instead of spending less thanks to increased productivity, the same items now cost $102,000. This not only reflects a mismatch between societal progress and financial policies but also represents a form of "theft." Instead of seeing a drop in prices and a boost in living standards, inflationary policies negate our productivity gains by 7% in this scenario.

This system taxes our productivity's fruits, benefiting those close to the levers of monetary control at the expense of the wider population. This diminishes our purchasing power and disrupts the incentive for innovation, creating a gap between effort and reward. This situation highlights the critical need to reassess our financial systems to ensure a fair distribution of productivity gains, aligning economic policies with fairness and efficiency to genuinely advance societal progress.

## **The Millennials response**

https://image.nostr.build/f0fb3fbb414d62684cb561febaa7ed19097104a4fe473e112c4269f8414773db.png

I have no idea what year Satoshi Nakamoto was born, but he - or she or they - gave Millennials the tool we needed exactly for this. And what do Millennials do with it? We adapt. The tool is Bitcoin and it is touted as a solution to the financial system's flaws, contrasting sharply with traditional currencies controlled by central banks. Its finite supply positions it as a deflationary asset, which could realign productivity gains with individual purchasing power, as opposed to the inflationary nature of fiat currencies. Let’s take a look closer to some of its characteristics:

#### **Aligned with Deflationary Forces of Technology**

Bitcoin is often celebrated for its deflationary nature, primarily because there is a finite supply of 21 million coins. This scarcity is in direct contrast to fiat currencies, which can be printed in unlimited quantities by central banks, leading to inflation. Bitcoin's design inherently appreciates in value over time, assuming increasing adoption and constant or growing use, mirroring the deflationary impact of technological advancements on production costs. As technology drives efficiency and reduces costs, a currency that mirrors this deflationary trend could ensure that the gains from increased productivity are more directly reflected in individuals' purchasing power.

#### **Eliminates the Necessity of Being a Financial Investor**

One of the more compelling aspects of Bitcoin is its potential to simplify personal finance. In an inflationary economy, individuals often feel compelled to become de facto investors, seeking assets that will outpace inflation to protect their purchasing power. We all want to feel like Wall Street geniuses. This necessity can detract from one's primary profession or passions, forcing individuals to allocate significant time and resources to navigating the financial landscape. Bitcoin, by being a deflationary asset, could theoretically mitigate this pressure, allowing individuals to preserve value over time without the need for constant investment and reallocation of resources, thereby enabling them to focus more on their primary work and interests.

#### **Incentivizes Productivity, Collaboration, and Innovation**

Bitcoin's decentralized nature fosters a different kind of economic environment—one that rewards productivity, collaboration, and innovation. Without a central authority controlling supply, the value of Bitcoin is determined by the collective belief in its utility - the real free market - and the security of its decentralized network. This setup incentivizes individuals and businesses to adopt and innovate on the Bitcoin platform through different layers, contributing to its utility and, by extension, its value. The transparency and immutability of Bitcoin's blockchain technology also promote trust and collaboration among parties that might not have any direct relationship, paving the way for new forms of economic and social interactions.

#### **Exposes Non-productive Entities**

By adhering to a monetary system governed by fixed rules rather than discretionary policy, Bitcoin can shine a light on inefficiencies and parasitic behaviors within the economy. In a Bitcoin-centric economy, the value is more intricately tied to genuine contribution and productivity. Entities that have thrived on inflationary policies to garner economic rent, without contributing actual value, would find their operations increasingly unsustainable. This level of transparency not only could prompt a realignment of economic activities towards more productive and socially beneficial endeavors but also drastically reduce malinvestment. Malinvestment, the investment in projects or endeavors that are not the most beneficial from an economic standpoint, is often exacerbated by distorted price signals under inflationary regimes. Bitcoin, by offering a clear, unmanipulated representation of value, discourages investments in unproductive or harmful projects, steering resources towards truly valuable and sustainable ventures.

## **Conclusion**

In summary, millennials have navigated a world of rapid change and economic challenges like any other generation before. Amid these challenges, Bitcoin emerges as a potential solution, offering an alternative to the traditional financial system's flaws. Its limited supply contrasts with the endless printing of fiat currencies, promising a future where increases in productivity directly benefit individual purchasing power.

While embracing Bitcoin's potential, millennials face obstacles like volatility and regulatory challenges. Yet, the promise of Bitcoin aligns with their readiness to innovate and seek fairer economic systems. For millennials, Bitcoin represents not just an investment but a step towards a future where the economy rewards real value and contribution.

The future shines brighter today than it ever has before!

Millennials now face significant economic and societal challenges. Initially seen as a promising generation, they've encountered realities of financial stress, job dissatisfaction, and a fading hope for a brighter future. However, we could be on the verge of a significant shift.

A long conversation with friends just starting their journey down the rabbit hole last night reminded me how early we are, but also the inevitably.

Too many humans have already become aware of the importance of decentralization and security with more becoming aware every day.

Once seen, it is impossible to unsee….and you eventually start to realize that your actions matter.

Creating a fast growing network of us committed to that cause.

It will be messy. There will be noise, misrepresentations, and scams (tons of them) to try to reign control back. The existing system (which gets stronger by our actions within it) depends on control and it is not to be underestimated. The FUD will accelerate to layer 2 and attack lighting to try to suppress layer 1 in a similar way to gold.

It will fool many but ultimately won’t work in the long term……most simply because too many of us have already seen the truth and are using our energy to build a future of hope and abundance.

The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation…

As a conservative example:

You start working at 20.
You work until you’re 65.
You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes.

The government takes 1/3 of your working life…

They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work.

And for what?

For roads? (LOLOLOL)

For a broken education system?

For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated?

For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to?

And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power.

The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed.

I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy.

Occurred to me today things fall into place if you simply remove the concepts that are cluttering your understanding.

Once you understand fiat finance, fiat food, fiat medicine and fiat politics, you simply remove the false notions derived therefrom, apply your clear-headed understanding straightforwardly over time.

Saving in an uninflatable currency, eating real food, avoiding the medical system, avoiding scams, getting sun. It sounds too simple, but it’s just basic straightforward application of truth plus time.

There is nothing really to it except unlearning bullshit, observing what’s in front of your face and sticking with it.


I’ve talked about Nihilism being pervasive in the 21st century before.

And I consider Bitcoin a cure or at least one such cure to this nihilism.

But something I hadn’t considered until recently is that Bitcoin nihilism is very much a thing.

I think I experienced it myself from 2015-2020, the first five years of my Bitcoin journey.

You have significant hope this thing can change the world, you see light at the end of the tunnel…

But you’re still stuck in the fiat mines, still relatively poor, still staring out at world that’s growing darker and more troubling.

Doubt creeps in, “am I delusional? Is everyone else right? What if I’m wrong?”

Many get pulled back into this sinkhole of nihilism.

Often people don’t feel deserving of the future wealth they are set to receive. So they self sabotage.

You have to resist that pull. You have to rise above. You have to actively become the person who is meant to shoulder this immense responsibility.

You can’t continue existing as old shitty you + Bitcoin. It doesn’t work. Too much dissonance.

You either claw your way towards an abundant future, or slide back into nothingness.

The hero’s journey awaits.

Creating money out of thin air & lending it is the most insidious scam ever.

It's charging rent to use resources THAT THEY DON'T HAVE. It's renting out stuff that belongs to *other people* and getting paid a rental fee for the privilege of counterfeiting a rental agreement.


libertarianism is actually compatible with socialism, communism, capitalism, and fascism, the single restriction being that those  systems are organized voluntarily. You can have communism in a libertarian society, it’s called a commune, but if it turns out that the system doesn’t scale or doesn’t produce, you can’t make the rest of the world your slaves to “make it work.”

Libertarianism isn’t a prescription about *how* to organize. It’s a framework to allow us to organize in as many ways as possible so we can endlessly discover and refine the concept of organization itself.

It *only* requires that you treat everyone around you as a free human with self ownership, and not your slave. https://i.nostr.build/8WRg.png

lol, this orange baffoon is selling digital CrYpTO garbage to raise money and made actual trading cards with pieces of the suit he was arrested in… I say this is “the president America deserves” because the country and the political system has become an embarrassing leviathan of grifting, corruption, and propaganda. A president that will piss off the establishment more than anything else in the world, and who is also a moron selling crypto NFTs… is literally the best representative for our idiotic state of affairs.

… but it’s less funny when you have to explain it 😆

We don't have to aggressively increase Bitcoin adoption. We just have to survive until fiat money inevitably collapses.

People have been saying the same thing for generations:

"If only we just got the right president, better congresspeople, more virtuous x y z leadership positions..."

Problem is, no leader, no matter how great and principled they may be, can turn around a system this corrupt. (Ask JFK).

This is why I've never cared less who the president is. The position has been intentionally gutted of its power by the oligarchs higher up the chain (central bankers). It's designed to keep the free money game going no matter who the "leader" in the fancy white house chair is.

So...How do we ACTUALLY create systemic change that isn't reliant on scouring the universe for the perfect politician that doesn't exist, and couldn't make any real difference even if they wanted to?

The answer is not easy, but it is surprisingly simple:

Delete the central banker's ability to print unlimited free money for themselves, by opting out of their form of money altogether.

i.e. sell fiat, buy #Bitcoin

This sounds like an insurmountable task at first, until you realize this is a global experiment in game theory, and we are already well underway.

As we speak, Bitcoin is being adopted at a rapid pace in countries lower on the economic totem pole, who have less to lose by taking a flyer on a brand new form of currency that isn't constantly manipulated/weaponized by USA.

Exhibit A: El Salvador, where it is already legal tender, and making an immediate impact in improving their local economy and  quality of life.

It's only a matter of time before more dominos fall. The world is sick and tired of being tethered to the U.S. Dollar global reserve currency, as this puts all of them in the crossfire of USA's infamously degenerate policies.

In order to detach themselves from the U.S. dollar:

Some of these countries are trying to take the GRC helm with their own shitty fiat currency, or building coalitions to create new ones (dumb; all fiat goes to zero)

Some are trying to revert back to gold (slightly smarter but still dumb in the digital age)

Adopt Bitcoin before the mad rush begins (🛎🛎🛎🎯)

WRONGTHINK

I just got fired for wrongthink.

Then I find out that my bank account’s been frozen, too.

I try to get an Uber back home but no cars will pick me up.

How did Uber find out I committed wrongthink?

I check my phone and apparently I’ve been banned from Instagram for the same reason.

Then a social worker knocks on my door and takes my son from me.

They tell me I’ve endangered my son by exposing him to wrongthink.

The State will now house and re-educate him, ensuring that he is only exposed to Government-Approved facts.

I feel my heart rate increase.

I try to turn some lights on, but it looks like my power has been disconnected.

I remember that I have some cash upstairs, so I decide to use that to buy some food whilst my bank accounts are frozen.

But the grocery store tells me that it can’t accept cash. So now I can’t even buy food!

I think I have some vague recollections of people warning me about the dangers of a cashless society…

I call all my friends for help, but none of them want to talk to me. They’ve all been warned about my wrongthink.

They know that if they talk to me on the phone for too long, they’ll get punished as well.

I call the police to see if they can help me.

They say no, but I’m referred to a Government-Approved Mental Support Officer.

I tell her my situation, and she listens carefully.

Once I’m done, I hear the Officer get extremely excited.

She tells me that the Government has a new solution they’re trialing for people in my situation: a Euthanasia Care Package.

She says it’s my best option.

The best thing is that it’s $0 up front! They just charge a 58% tax on my estate.

I ask if there are any other options, as this seems a bit heavy-handed.

But she says that Euthanasia is perfect for people like me.

She stresses that it’s a voluntary decision, but then adds that the Government will continue to deny me services until I opt in to the Euthanasia Care Package.

I sit on the floor of my living room in despair.

How could all of this happen to me?

And just because I noticed that the TV was telling me lies?

I didn’t even break any laws.

These days it seems that there’s one set of rules for the people who repeat what the news tells them.

And another set of rules for the people who speak out about the continuous stream of inconsistencies and outright lies that we are force-fed every day at 6pm.

And these lies coming from the TV seem so obvious to me.

So I wonder how other people don’t notice them. Why don’t they say anything?

And then after a while I realise that they must notice them, but they’ve been forced to ignore their own eyes by this machinery of coercion.

You see, governments, media, and corporations are now so interconnected globally that they can move in unison to unperson anyone who doesn’t say that 2 + 2 = 5.

And so I was unpersoned for wrongthink.

As if I’d committed a crime.

But I wasn’t tried by a court, I was tried by this new judicial system.

Where there’s no evidence, no trial, and no judge.

Just a verdict and a punishment. https://image.nostr.build/6f113aceca586f65b002c038f8b300daf22562b073aa0b71633267f4be3b23eb.jpg

Everyone has their Bitcoin regret stories.

I could have bought at $x, think about how rich I would be now!
Sad fact is, if you bought at $x, you would have sold at $2x or $5x dollars and you'd have an even worse regret story.

Be grateful that you got in when you did and held what you held.

Thanks nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak for your last book Principles of economics, he literally left the conversation scratching his head and so confused even though he seemed so confident at the beginning of the conversation. It wouldn’t surprise me if he orders the book tonight.


Everyone laughing at you is scared AF of it going parabolic one day, they just don’t tell. They are just jealous of your conviction because they are too lazy to spend time studying it, they prefer to spend their time in stupid TikTok videos.


On Work
----------

Work is a necessary inconvenience. In contemporary society, however, people are working harder than ever before, prioritizing their careers over aspects of life that were traditionally valued. These include family, the pursuit of knowledge, artistic creation, and other enriching activities. The emphasis on career advancement has become so pervasive that it has overshadowed other fulfilling pursuits, leading to an obsession with societal approval as measured by financial success.

Under this perspective, true wealth implies the freedom not to work, a metric by which many are impoverished in our current economy. This notion of poverty is particularly evident in countries like China, Japan, and Korea, where the work ethic is exceptionally intense. In these cultures, not working has become stigmatized to the point that it is viewed as a failure. This shift in societal values has been especially pronounced for women, many of whom now prioritize their careers over starting a family or cultivating a nurturing home environment.

Such a shift in priorities since 1971 is declared by the people in power as a sign of progress or empowerment. From a strictly economic perspective, this paints a rather bleak picture, suggesting that we are more enslaved to our work than we might wish to acknowledge. The zeal with which we throw ourselves into our careers is often celebrated as a positive attribute, a reflection of personal ambition and dedication. But this view raises the question: What are we truly working toward?

It becomes a troubling issue when we realize that much of the work done today is not aimed at creating tangible value. Rather, it is often influenced by political considerations and rent-seeking behavior, where individuals or entities seek to increase their share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. This focus on extracting value rather than creating it leads to a hollow sense of achievement and a society that prioritizes the superficial markers of success over genuine fulfillment. At least the slaves of the past knew their predicament. The propaganda today is especially deceitful because most people can't even identify what's so unsatisfactory about their work and why they burn out.

In the end, this obsession with work and the pursuit of financial success is a presenting symptom of fiat money. We work harder than ever because it lets the rent-seekers continue in their rent-seeking. We work hard because our savings are continuously drained.

The current emphasis on work, driven by propaganda, calls for reflection on what we value. Yet that reflection is nearly impossible without some resources, and sadly, we don't have the savings to be able to reflect on what we really want. So we trudge on, running on the fiat treadmill.


Luego escuchas la versión de los trabajadores que se han ido a ganar esta paga sin hacer nada o que han pedido trabajar sin darse de alta en la seguridad social y todavía se mofan de ello.

Desafortunadamente en España reina la pillería, que es con lo que hemos crecido, y presumir de ello es casi un deporte nacional.
