I have 3 Wismesh Pocket mesthastic radios with a couple long range antennas to donate. Let me know where to send them.

Here are photoshttps://stacker.news/items/710750


Meshtastic radios I need to sell:

I have some Meshtastic comms for sale: https://stacker.news/items/710750


Selling as a set only, basically buy 2 get one free. These are ready to use out of the box. 3 like new WisMesh radios I purchased from RAK wireless. They work flawlessly, they are simply not capable of meeting the use case I was testing them for. They are essentially brand new other than the fact I numbered the radios with a sharpie. Used one day in the field. They will ship in factory boxes. I will cover shipping to the lower 48 of the United States.

I totally agree. Opportunity post crisis has always been the case throughout history. Those who have resources and recognize why the opportunity is coming will benefit greatly.
Where I really struggle with the positivity aspect is knowing that the opportunity is a result of the significant suffering of others.
It sucks but there's no way around it.


The best part about politics is no matter who wins the next election they’re going to print ungodly amounts of money.


The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:
1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.
2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.
3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

Most Bitcoiners are too smart for their own good. Many are also too idealistic.

If you think the masses will adopt Bitcoin because it's the superior form of money or whatever your angle is, they won't. On the margins sure, but "mass" adoption, nope.

The masses are not interested in what makes money good and they are never going to do the work to understand Bitcoin because their currency is inflationary and they are getting poorer.

They are just going to get angry and blame someone else.  That's what the masses have always done.


Before saying Bitcoin is for everyone, remember these reviewers.


It's ok to hate commies. Can't say it enough.


Bitcoiners take hard L's when it comes to price predictions. Maybe just stop. Douche bag suits can't naked short sell Freedom. People need the Freedom, not get rich quick ideas.


I only made it about a half hour in. Will not finish. I just wanted to learn more and it was clear it was very emotional. All I know is, it was not beneficial for someone like myself just looking to a trusted source to try and learn.


I had not, I'm not educated enough on them to know it was possible. I did some quick research after your note and I think you are right! Iit seems way too big to be a screech owl based on the info I found online. Plus we had a breeding pair of barred owls here earlier this spring. The video is bad but it did look similar to a barred owl in appearance. We have several different types of owls here, with Barred and Great Horned being two of them. I just assumed it was a screech owl based on the call and not knowing anything else. Definite love hate with them come bed time.  Thanks so much for the info!


Screech owls, Mother natures version of her fingernails on a chalkboard. Been having to close the windows at night since this guy moved in. Looking forward to the great horned running him off. https://m.primal.net/KAar.mp4


If you have normie friends who don't believe they are being gaslit by establishment "media" on the economy explain to them that when the economy is actually good, average people don't need to be convinced how good it is by journalists and pundits.  Everyone intuitively knows.


It's really fucking valuable to be self aware. It's not as though she has never seen someone who's incredible at break dancing. I wonder if in her head she see's herself as one of them? The self-affirmations are must be unreal with this one.

"We are going to be Free with maximum optionality!" This is way more important than how many Bitcoin you need to retire or death crosses or whatever other bullshit.  I wish freedom was topically as popular as NGU but...


9yo Proof of Work-ethic

https://m.primal.net/JyPF.mp4


Nice! Great way to start the day!


Mass adoption of Bitcoin means a mass dilution of the Bitcoin ethos as a percentage of HODLers. Being forced to buy something or being financially ruined is not an experience that is likely to enlighten most laggards. I imagine it will make them angry. Most people hate being forced to do something when they don't understand why they need to do it.

The obvious financial benefit of mass network adoption versus the percentage of people actually in it for the freedom becoming miniscule is tough for me to be excited about.

When the masses come in, the ideals go out. Tell me I'm wrong, I want to be wrong.

A douche is a douche. It doesn't matter what kind of money they think is the best.


Be careful when intelligence agencies start to do things you wish they would.


The two are not exclusive.  If you have the best money everyone is going to use it that is the FUCKIN POINT.

Separation of money and state does NOT mean the state doesn't use the money, only that they do not control it.

If you make something anyone can use, you can't then tell people who is allowed or not to use it, again THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT.

Lastly what I want, what you want, etc. in a PERMISSIONLESS system means absolutely fuckin NOTING.   Again, that is the fuckin point.

Mainstream adoption ruins pretty much everything when you look at it from the perspective of early participants.


We are in the power position, because we openly strive to be sovereign, which is a threat to power and those who seek control.

So Politicians are making an appeal to power, because they desire more of it with less competition. If you can't beat em join em.

Anyone who shoots rifles and isn't a fucktard, knows 150M is a gimmie. Honestly doable with open sights. Why an elevated position that close to anyone under protective duty was not within a secured perimeter speaks volumes. A dude carrying a ladder and a rifle to said location in broad daylight?

It makes me sad to hear great young people who believe the American Dream and the middle class is dead. I think younger people than myself have gotten the short end of the stick due largely to the money printer driving price inflation. But I don't see a dead middle class in the MidWest. All of my Millenial and Gen Z cousins are starting families and buying their first homes.  They are young professionals and tradespeople who work hard. I guess they didn't get the message. I feel terrible for young people on the coasts and in cities, just know you have options.


Humans who obsess over their net-worth are gross. It doesn't matter if the obsession is bitcoin driven.

Thanks, had never heard of it and I did on your recommendation. Based on what I found, I don't see how its relevant when it comes to getting paid. If I think my boss is a scum bag but I keep working for them and make them money and help their business I don't think I'm the good guy.

"Editorial independence is the absence of external control or influence on journalists, authors, or media organisations in general. "

I understand your views are your own and independent of the magazine and owner etc.
What I don't understand is calling others morality into question or calling them sell outs and then accepting money from them.
I agree with you there is no point in trusting politicians to make good on their claims but you lost me choosing to publish with the outlet I believe you are implying has sold-out.
And I don't think you are a sell-out, I don't know you. I just think the whole situation is really weird.


"When your morals can be bought, you are not a patriot – you are a sell out."

So you have upheld your morals by writing, submitting and publishing an article in the magazine owned by the person you are implying is a sell-out?
Doesn't traffic from your article benefit the sell-outs?
Did the magazine/CEO you are complaining about pay you and publish the article?
So you can take money from a sell-out use your work to benefit a sell-out and yet you are not a sell-out?
I don't get it?  Honest questions.

I agree they could be distinct in cognitive interpretation, and respect that for you they clearly are. But I bet both being offended and being pissed off, elevate our blood pressure and cause acute physical reactions in us that are almost identical, regardless of which one produced the response. But fuck it, you wouldn't know. 😉


It kinda did though... I figured being called a " rich nerd " may illicit a condescending reply. Your reply was pretty mild, I'd hoped for a stronger insult. 😉 While I'm sure this interaction didn't do it, I imagine you have been offended before in your life. Or at the least have felt the feelings many would describe as being offended or upset, prior to reacting in a less than stoic manner. I'll be the first to admit I have. Generally I don't call it offended, I say someone pissed me off, semantics. Saw your other post and curiosity got the best of me.

I'm wondering if the Davos class is intentionally empowering incompetent leaders in the West to foment a populist uprising while the US Dollar is on the brink. Take an L in this election, then allow the Dollar system to collapse, crushing the US and dollarized nations while the great saviors/populist leaders are in charge. Further cementing collectivist one party rule for the future.  Lockdowns collapsed small business, open borders shifting the census..... a massive financial collapse when orange man is in charge..... mainline some digital cuck bucks to the herd.... hope I'm an idiot

It's odd to me that people believe you might actually have to knowingly or accidentally break the law to be arrested/indicted/prosecuted etc. We like to pretend we don't live in a 2 tiered justice system when it could not be more overt. Selective prosecution, no actual crimes required.

undeniable


*The Rare Sat Lie*

Let's start with some facts.

You cannot own a satoshi (sat). You can only own a utxo, who's value is measured in sats. Just like you cannot own a "kilogram" but you can own something which weights a kilogram.

The idea that a sat can be rare is a lie, since sats don't exist.

A utxo also cannot be sold, because as soon as it is spent, a completely new utxo is created, and the creation of this new utxo makes the previous utxo (which you wanted to sell) spent. To act of spending "an unspent transaction output" (UTXO) transforms it into something fundamentally different, a "spent transaction output" (STXO) and creates a new UTXO.

The idea that a utxo can be sold is a lie, since even utxos cannot be sold.

The idea that a rare sat from a "special" utxo can be bought is thus a double lie.

*Rare Sat Sophistry*

The conmen, the useful idiots and the otherwise honest but contrarian pundits will rationalize the spreading of the "Rare Sat Lie" with sophistry and appeals to libertarian morality such as "it's a free market, people can believe whatever they want and waste their money however they wish".

Of course, this line of reasoning is meant to create strawmen arguments so that every person that is righteously indignated at the spreading of these lies can be painted as being opposed to the concept of individual freedon itself, which immediately places the TruthSeeker's outrage outside of the Overton Window (and subject to ridicule).

Let us dispell the strawman argument.

The "market" (a small niche of degenerate gamblers) can want whatever it wants, yes. But it till cannot change the reality that individual satoshis (sats) do not exist as "things" or virtual objects. This reality is not subjective.

The sophists will also rationalize that "it cannot be stopped" and thus all you can do is "cry harder" (ironic eh?) and that any and all attempts to combat the lies are futile (at best) or stupid.

It may be true all the truthseeker can do is cry and shout, but it is also true that to combat the spreading of such lies is a virtuous and noble pursuit. And it is also true that the direct result of the shouting can be to save a victim from otherwise being conned. Which is, we would all agree I hope, a moral good, if not a moral imperative.

People are free to spread the lie that such things ("rare" "sats") are real, and fraudulently sell utxos of low value presented as "rare" "sats" for utxos of higher value, but to do so by exploiting the ignorance of people and confusion around the complex technology of Bitcoin is evil according to nearly almost moral code that ancient and modern civilizations have produced.

I am the last person that would deny someone the right to be evil. But I believe if you see a fraud and you don't call out the fraud then you too are a fraud.

So, the strawman is really just straw.

*The Rare Sat Con*

Beyond it being morally bad to spread lies generally, the spreading of the lie also occurs within the context of textbook confidence trick.

Confidence tricks involve :

- the mark: the victims whose money is to be acquired fraudulently
- the roper: reels in the mark via exposure and marketing, peaking the curiosity of the mark (i.e. a conference or media organization)
- the inside man: provides a venue for the con to take place, or supplies goods and services used in the context of the scam (a mining pool or a marketplace)
- the conman: gains the confidence of the mark extracts the money (the seller of a rare sat)
- the convincer: an acolyte of the conman which gives a taste of the profits to the mark either by investing in the mark, or showing off his profits to the mark (a fellow rare sat trader)

The conman and the convincer can interchange roles. For example, conmen and convincers can publicly con each other repeatedly and alternatively, with gains and losses which compensate, with the tacit understanding that the goal is really to gain the confidence of a mark from which both convincer and conman can extract money from.

Everyone except benefits in this zero sum game, except obviously the mark.

In the end, the mark was never forced to give up his money. He willingly parted ways with his funds, deceived by the confidence trick.

Selling "rare sats" for utxos of higher sat value is without doubt a confidence trick.

I will let it up to your imagination who you think plays which role in the rare sat con.

Pretty disappointed I keep reading that ETFs are driving or increasing "adoption" from people who should know better. Education drives adoption, if people don't understand why Bitcoin is the best money they won't adopt Bitcoin as their money. They will use State approved rails that provide exposure to the Bitcoin price (ETF) to increase their fiat gains and tell people they own Bitcoin. Yes the ETFs pump price, and yes the issuers have to hold Bitcoin, but the ETFs are about new capital markets exposure not new individual adoption. Hopefully, some ETF buyers will eventually sell their ETFs and buy actual UTXOs. Blackrock doesn't give a fuck about freedom, circular economies and citadels. Blackrock cares about fees on a fugazi at the expense of the uneducated.

Most of the world is completely unaware that the global monetary system is built on a house of cards, better referred to as a Ponzi scheme. The mass of men believe that the money they hold is good money and that the people who control that money, the central banks, are the smartest people in the room. This class of unwitting men is completely unaware that every central bank around the world is engages in moral hazard on a day to day basis because they are operating in a system with completely perverse incentives.

Offense (like intent) exists only in a person's head & not in reality at all. There is zero harm in offending people. The freedom to cause offense is 100% necessary to the teaching/learning process. "Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" is something people used to be taught from young ages. Now everyone has horrible personal boundaries because they are taught that how they feel is everyone else's responsibility rather than completely their own.

We are seeing the consequences of incorrect foundational belief systems playing out. If someone is afraid of getting sick, it's on them to stay home or protect themselves in whatever way they can, they can't require that everyone else stay home until they prove they are healthy. You can't externalize the cost of your fear onto everyone else & not be a tyrant. Sick until proven healthy is no different than calling people guilty until proven innocent. When people invert fundamental principles they transform life into hell, & many will almost deserve it.

Visiting a village in Malawi that now has electricity because of Gridless and #Bitcoin mining was such an incredible experience.

In Malawi, the median salary is $2.00 per day and in the village we visited, it’s closer to $1.00. Worse, Malawi just had a currency debasement of 44% 3 weeks ago.

It touched my soul to meet and spend time with these amazing people, to see the laughter of the children, and to hear how #Bitcoin is changing their lives.

Talk of ETF approval misses the forest for the trees. It's not just about immediate reactions or flows

It's about the recognition of $BTC as an institutional asset. Pensions, endowments, insurance investment portfolios, etc., will soon be entering the arena with passive buy-side flows for the long term.

In December 2020, Mass Mutual invested $100m into bitcoin. https://t.co/xdMyT7Dxxi

MASSIVE.... except not really. Mass Mutual manage $235b in assets, with long-dated fiat liabilities. https://tinyurl.com/yz3b4hpn

$100m of $BTC is a ~0.05% allocation...

Large institutional investors don't purchase something to flip it the next month. They are constructing portfolios for multiple decades.

A 0.05% allocation is just the start. There are many more many more Mass Mutuals out there, and all of these allocators are staring at their bond portfolio which is -50% from ATHs, questioning previous assumptions they held.

The endorsement by the likes of Larry Fink isn't a sign that Larry is suddenly a bitcoin bull, it's a sign that clients are knocking on BlackRock's door, asking for a vehicle to gain exposure.

The narrative violations are strong. Passive accumulation starting from the $69k ATH has you +45% right now on your bitcoin position. The same passive allocation into long bonds has you -12%.

"But the volatility!" Again, it's a misunderstanding of time horizon. A ~1% allocation to an asset that they don't plan to liquidate for years/decades, with an extremely strong sharpe ratio, is within their risk profile. If you want proof, just look at the rest of their portfolio...

- No, the orange coin is not going away.
- No, it did not die when FTX collapsed.
- Yes, supply is more tightly held than ever before.
- Yes, perpetual credit expansion of the fiat monetary system is an ongoing reality.
- No, there is no sense of fiscal austerity present ANYWHERE.
- Yes, this illiquidity means marginal flows into the market sends the price higher, which is why all of these institutions will start with a tiny ~0.05% stake, while continuing to passively allocate steadily for the long-term.

Reinforcing this all is the shift in narrative and negative bias around 'energy usage' and mining, evidenced by new academic papers on mining as a tool for balancing the grid and monetizing waste energy:

- Bitcoin could support renewable energy development, Cornell Engineering, https://t.co/EZopJJAM2i

- Leveraging Bitcoin Miners as Flexible Load Resources for Power System Stability and Efficiency, Co-authored by former ERCOT CEO, https://t.co/PEpGE65la1

- From Mining to Mitigation: How Bitcoin Can Support Renewable Energy Development and Climate Action, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, https://www.resistance.money/research/mining_to_mitigation.pdf

The landscape and profile of the asset has shifted. It's not about the ETF, it's about the reason WHY the ETF is coming. Institutional exposure has been given a green light. It won't happen all at once, but understand the shift that is underway.

Bitcoin has been passively accumulated by individuals and retail for sometime now, while institutions mostly watched the madness from the sideline. This is changing.

The most important shift happening in the collective mind of humanity today, is less that #Bitcoin is currently being broadly adopted, but more that the narrative and blind acceptance of fiat & central banking is falling apart.

The election of Milei in Argentina is no indication yet of another country adopting Bitcoin, but it IS a signal to the world, that the people are waking up and rejecting their slavery to the money printer.

All the while, Bitcoin marches on.

Solid advice. Thankfully, I find it much more difficult to pass an opportunity to crack shitty jokes vs. actually passing waste.


It's a guarantee I experience a difficult dump between now and April.


Oh you'll still be able to get one if you want it, without paying an absurd premium. There is significant import demand for Toyota vehicles originally only sold abroad.


Excited to hear your perspective as I suspect neither the citizenry of Israel or Palestine truly want forever conflicts. I don't know enough to have a strong opinion. I'd love to hear you discuss the topic with Whitney Webb. nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv


If “green energy” (including w/ storage as needed) costs more than hydrocarbons and doesn’t win in the marketplace, then maybe it is more environmentally impactful than you think, with energy-intensive and materially-intensive supply chains.

Likewise, if fake meat costs more than real meat, then maybe it too is more environmentally impactful then you think, with energy-intensive and materially-intensive supply chains.

Please exercise your rights! The 2nd amendment secures the rest. Without it, Tyranny is a certainty. This little Bitcoiner ain't having it. No one should. https://m.primal.net/HMsG.jpg


Have only used Robosats. Have not had a reason to use anything else.


In a world of unlimited fiat production and uncertainty, flee to absolute scarcity and certainty.

Flee to #Bitcoin.


An honorable man is honorable even to his enemies.

A dishonorable man is dishonorable even to his friends.


It's probably not a coincidence that a mentally insane law that basically makes #Bitcoin transactions illegal is being shoved through the Treasury at the same time as there is buzzing about an ETF announcement.

Don't get complacent, shit is gonna get real and the days of utter basic privacy being a crime might not be far away.


Individual who desires privacy = Terrorist

I'd say the biggest parallel is likely the Mossad. Mossad pre-knowledge of 9/11 was well documented, then memory holed. Individuals conspire and start wars to consolidate power, secure resources and make money, not a new playbook.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eZHTVg2R3Aw

Hi Whitney, please enable zaps. Hope your Son continues to improve!


In the coming debt crisis the US will reduce it's future dollar denominated obligations by transitioning Gov't pensions, Social Secuirty, Disability, Medicare and Welfare payments to a phase 1 CBDC. Low hanging fruit.


In 2012, Julian sounded a warning, what he called a watchman's shout into the night:

“Recall that states are the systems which determine where and how coercive force is consistently applied.

The question of how much coercive force can seep into the platonic realm of the internet from the physical world is answered by cryptography and the cypherpunk's ideals.

As states merge with the internet and the future of our civilization becomes the future of the internet, we must redefine force relations.

If we do not, the universality of the internet will merge global humanity into one giant grid of mass surveillance and mass control.”

He published this in 2012.

The censors are not just after Julian and WikiLeaks. The objective is not simply to suppress recent history. Julian's ongoing imprisonment has emboldened the censors.

They have turned their sights to the present, seeking the total control over the public domain itself. Our voice and our ears, our collective reality.

A world in which Julian is free is a world that will continue to build initiatives that that recognize what we're up against.

Free Julian, free us all.

Its an identical post to her most recent one on the Unlimited Hangout Telegram, it's her content.


In arguably the #1 work of German literature: Goethe's "Faust", the devil (Mephistopheles) convinces Faust to go to the near-bankrupt Emperor Charles V, and persuades him to issue...  Paper money.

The notes signed by the Emperor spark a consumer boom where “half the world seems obsessed with eating well/the other half with showing off new clothes”.

Only after Mephistopheles and Faust vanish does anyone notice the value of the notes refer not to gold in a vault, but to the promise of gold yet to be mined.

Inflation takes hold and economic disaster looms. Rebellion follows.

Faust, meanwhile, has invested his proceeds from the paper money scheme in land reclaimed from the sea. Goethe condemns the endeavor to failure for denying the laws of nature just as its paper money financing ignores the laws of economics.

Sound familiar???

Written in 1831. Before Weimar, before Bretton Woods. Before 1971.

We will never learn.

Elon's rug pull game is STRONG


"I'm not one of those stupid people, I hated all that stupid person talk, but now listen to me while I tell you what those stupid people were telling you 2 years ago, I'm legit."


hello fellow kids

Right on. I grew up with whitetails as well. I still bow hunt them too, in WI, MN and MT. Elk is super rad because of their environment, the vocal interactions and the meat! My family can't get enough of the meat! I just got back from 14 days in Montana on the 21st. I was at full draw twice with a bull and 2 cows at 40yards but decided not to shoot due to variables I could write a book about. Bottom line, no arrows loosed in my 2023 elk hunt. I'm a self taught DIY public land elk hunter with a couple successful hunts under my belt, so if you think I could help you on your journey please hit me up. I could talk hunting all day, similar to Bitcoin. Alternatively, if you know of any other bitcoiners who also bow hunt (or want to learn) I would really love to get linked up with them. I don't really know the best way to dig these folks up if they exist. I'm not great at social media, NOSTR is the only social account I have ever had and I only joined because of it's direct association with Bitcoin. I'm a pretty content introvert, but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone a bit more.


Nice. Did you harvest the Elk or buy it? No difference to me, I only ask as I'm hoping to find an archery elk hunting partner who is also a bitcoiner....my Dad turned 70 this year, mountain hunts are getting a lot harder on him.


Who are you listening too....? Sounds fucking depressing man. I'd find some new sources. It's a beautiful day outside!


We are told we need mass surveillance to protect civil rights.

We are told we need censorship to ensure free speech.

We are told we need bank bailouts to rescue the free market.

We are told we need compliance to protect science.

We are told we need rigged elections to save democracy.

We are told we need forever war to secure peace.


The profits (which are about $5/book) from the first 1,000 copies of Broken Money are going to the HRF Bitcoin Development Fund.

I think I will put the profits from copies 2,000-5,000 into making a slick animated YouTube video about the history of money and banking and the emergence of Bitcoin (basically the 30-minute summary of Broken Money). Kind of like Dalio’s “How the Economic Machine Works” video.

A popular 500 page finance book can reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. But an equivalent video, while not as deep, has the potential to reach millions as a different part of the knowledge funnel.

Because, I dunno. Fuck profits I guess. The rest of my business covers profits; the book is for a different purpose. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/306e2a00be39f67de475e34349b81942ecce72a169cf6cf91438315d34b249df.gif


Makes perfect sense. I'm anti-social by nature, so all this shit's a struggle. I stay in my lane and life is good. I think too many people want to emulate others successes rather than just finding what makes em happy. Live someone else's blueprint of life. Sad. I've actually received a good amount of virtual love here from people I really enjoy listening to and learning from, including yourself. I chuckle everytime. Appreciate all you do man! Keep up the great work. Let em all know it's OK to hate the Authoritarians. Some people earn the hate.


I don't mind the tech once the analog is covered. Guns, land, food, family and Bitcoin.


Getting Away With Evil

A lot of people see bad people thriving and secretly get jealous. They see altcoin creators make millions, or immoral VCs dump on retail and despise them, not so much because they're immoral, though that's the main rationalization, but because they want to get away with it, too.

You must kill those instincts with everything you have. Because that means you're also willing to sell your soul for money. It's just that you haven't had the opportunity yet.

Many OGs have gone into altcoins for this very reason. They saw Vitalik or Brad or a16z killing it with dogshit and decided to do it themselves, more out of envy than even greed. The scorn heaped on them is not as much moral than it is envious. I've seen these people, they altcoin eventually. This is not a good road to go down.

This envy is a fiat mindset. You want to get money without working hard. You want to scam people, as long as the payoff is sufficient. And you can tell there are a lot of such people, because they turn around rather suddenly and launch something that completely goes against what they said they believed.

This is sadly true of a lot of people. I don't need to name names but you know who they are. And unfortunately, we'll see a lot more of it going forward. The problem was always a moral deficiency.


The contrast in the photo is amazing! Janet signaling for sovereignty, while the bike riding chin masker prefers a centrally planned compulsory future.
