 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 @saylor). I suspect quite a few are without realising it. 
 People I orange pilled in real life.

1. Old boss who was already rich - 5btc (still has it) 
2. ... 
 I would argue most were never orange-pilled to begin with.

 I keep reading that Bitcoin Core is captured…should a non-techie like me, running a node, need to worry and swap to another node? Advice?

 @ODELL  keeps referring to The Mandibles. I finally got down to reading it. Holy shit!!! I am not prepared. None of you are prepared!!! 
 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. 
 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. 
 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. 
 Admit it; it’s funny.

 My smartest MBA friends do not understand this…I am pulling my hair out sharing that M2 rather than CPI ought to be the metric to beat. No comprehendo.
