At what point, does the rest of the world that is powering global growth, say we need a neutral, apolitical, permissionless currency to facilitate trade rather than rely on a sovereign, permissioned reserve currency?

The Bitcoin community has a really difficult time with acknowledging problems, because they are so bullish. This leads to stagnation of londstanding issues because they have convinced themselves the problem is already solved by repeating certain phrases. I literally think Bitcoin is revolutionary, but Jesus Christ people, we have to admit there is a problem before we can solve them.

This is a rough cycle. Mentally as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a a bull market since 2017. 7 years of meaningless chop ....as always there's light at the end of the tunnel, but just when I think we're reaching the end, we round another corner.

Not sure if other hodlers are like me, but I find it difficult to live in the moment. I do my best, but it's almost as if my life is on hold until we have a raging bull market. There are places I want to travel, a home I want to build, but instead I'm stacking and waiting, and the years are going by.

My first child was born around the last bull market, I've spent the majority of their life obsessed with bitcoin, stacking sats, and waiting for our "real life" to start. I still think I've been a good husband and father, but I know I could be better. Unable to ever fully be present, that nagging hope of a better future always in the back of my mind.

As bitcoin cascades down today in yet another liquidation wick, I can't help but reflect on the past. Perhaps we're all destined to be Moses, wandering the desert for 40 years, the imperfect saviors of our individual tribes. We'll be remembered, but only our children will ever reach the promise land. Could be worse I suppose. I still don't think that's very likely, I think we very well might be rounding that final corner of the tunnel, but I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that that might not be true. Perhaps there's another 33 years of wandering.


This is not a great decentralization success story.

What we actually have is a pool mainly used by a small number of relatively large hashers. A real decentralization success story would be if the number of individual hashers was so large, coinbase payouts were completely impractical, and almost everyone was getting paid by Lightning.

Ethereum “maxis” own Bitcoin.

Bitcoin maxi’s do not own ethereum.


Blockchains may eviscerate middlemen but not rent seekers…


Don't agree with a lot of it but still worth reading to gather opposing views if you are long on MSTR

Technically, anyone in a low tax jurisdiction that has a fiat mortgage and also owns Bitcoin is a Triple Maxi (defined by nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m). I suspect quite a few are without realising it.


Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!


I would argue most were never orange-pilled to begin with.


People I orange pilled in real life.

1. Old boss who was already rich - 5btc (still has it)
2. Ex business partner - 10btc (lost it trading, does forex now)
3. Friend from college - 2btc (sold at 20k to help with his dads medical bills)
4. Friend from high school - 4btc (lost it trading, later tried to hit on my wife)
5. Friend from high school - 7btc (spent it on partying)
6. Wife’s friend’s husband - 3btc (sold it all and bought ethereum)
7. Cousin in law - 1.2btc (sold half at 40k to pay debts)
8. Father - 2btc (died 18 months later)
9. Friend from college 2btc - (still has it, planning to sell at a million)
10. Wife’s coworker - 10btc (sold at 4k, later got into bcash)

Outside of Bitcoin, the most relevant currency in this space is your reputation. Slow to accumulate, easy to lose all at once. Think twice before staking it.

It’s the collapse of the world’s reserve currency of the global hegemony…the world is storing its wealth in US capital markets. Its collapse is the collapse of wealth everywhere. It’s a collapse in confidence globally.


The novel is set in a dystopian near-future America (2029-2047) where the U.S. economy has collapsed due to overwhelming national debt and the replacement of the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.

The story follows the Mandible family, once wealthy and now struggling to survive after losing their inheritance due to the economic collapse. The novel explores how each family member adapts to the new reality, including issues like hyperinflation, scarcity of resources, and the breakdown of social order.


In the terrifying scenario that the monetary system fails, it’s every man for himself. Food, shelter, security etc is no longer guaranteed…most of us urban dwellers will be like fish out of water…so much that I had not considered…so unprepared for this worst case scenario.


It’s fucking scary right?

The unfunded liabilities totaling over $300T is essentially guaranteed future monetary expansion. In other words, there's a lot more inflation to come.


The only way for the government to try to solve this problem, which only gets exponentially worse as boomers continue to retire, is to print an ungodly amount of money.

You aren’t bullish enough on bitcoin, anon.
