 #Anarchism is not a political position. It's a moral conclusion that holds true regardless of its degree of practicality. 

This conclusion is: there is no way to make violence generally acceptable for a social structure. 

As a consequence, it's to be seen as a completely unacceptable but omnipresent human reality. As simple as that. 

Being #AnCap isn't so much about being an economic smartass as it is about not being an asshole. 
 I believe them 
 He’s an idiot though 
 Trump presidency will be fun. Europeans already shitting themselves. 😂 
 Our friendships on #nostr is the only algorithm we will ever need. 🫂💜

 Legacy Media Developing Full Trump Psychosis. Every article: TRUMP. 

JFC, if these people hate him so much, why not refrain from making him the only topic on planet earth! 
 What’s up? 
 Bitcoin price. 
Nostr usage. 
Hope. 
 If you think getting things done is hard, try not doing anything at all. #wuwei 
 I honestly can't think of a price at which I'd buy US Dollars. 
 Zero. I’d buy at zero. Soon 
 I love this model. Don’t know why so many are shitting on it. It’s helpful 
 Agreed. 

It's hard to discard a way of thinking that's 99% true, I guess. However, discrediting this model just means you don't like any kind of model in general. Doesn't get more fundamental than that imo. 

It boils down to, "Bro, what if bitcoin stops behaving the way it has for the last 15 years?" 

Yeah that’s called uncertainty. Live with it. lol 
 Fair enough, but it's just painful to read. On the other hand, it's nice because it makes adoption a little more predictable. A little more time to stack is appreciated.  😅 
 Everyone at their own pace I guess lol 
 If Trump and Vance want to prove they're friends of the Corn they need to roll out the red carpet... 
 It’s better if they don’t though 
 Time for a haiku:

One might indeed say
A #Bitcoin at100k

 PSA: Don't become so fiat poor that you can't afford to charter the boat you need to have an accident with. 
 That’s not much bitcoin for a man of his status innit?

 Funny the IW Köln publishing this since they’re known for being lefties. That’s how bad the situation is I guess…

 I said that $100k would be when normies start to wake back up. Looking that way 
 Sleeping is constitutive of being a normie. You stop being a normie once you wake up. 
 I love my job as a federal agent

 Wen god candle #bitcoin? 
 2025 will be full of no coiner cope. 

Prepare yourself. 
 I'm just an ordinary guy who saves in sound money. No idea what all the fuss is about. #Bitcoin 
 He’s our greatest troll. I enjoy his takes.

 Psychologist speaking: 💯 correct 
 Because they have empathy with the victim of the story and don't realize that it takes a victim to have empathy in the first place. 

90% of therapists stabilize a harmful condition. That is cruel. 10% helpful therapy doesn't make up for it. 

When family members of alcoholics do this shit, we call it codependency, but when a shrink does it, we call it therapy. Funny.

 Good take. Some things only work if they're general and open. 

@giacomozucco  has talked a lot about the role of a large enough anonymity set for some privacy tools to work properly. 

I think this is a similar effect. From that point of view, there was no alternative to opening Tor to the public. Makes perfect sense. 

Btw, using hardware wallets instead of standard hardware increases risk for the same reason: it marks you as part of a relevant and smaller subset.
