I have had similar thoughts.  I do now believe that Bitcoin is a representation of before religion.

It's rules are perfectly defined.  They came from the creator.  They will affect how you live your life before you do.  No religious texts needed, praying or reviewing or gathering in a congregation/church for a state attack.

The exchange of Pure Human Empathy is the basis of all religion's but years of reading and understanding to think how you live your life.  The exchange of Empathy in Bitcoin is exponentially reinforcing, so no need for religious teaching.

I could go on, but it, like Bitcoin, you need to discover for yourself.  Too much deprogramming is needed, it cannot be spoon fed.


Genius is, and has historically been recorded, due to long periods of isolation from a curated narrative.  Isolation from the influence of others to change, remove focus and or distract you away from thinking about fundamental truth.

If you unpack what you refer to as being caused by 'Equality' you will see the same.

One of the fundamental features of Bitcoin is Equality, so that alone makes what you say counterfactual.

Understanding Bitcoin, how it goes from Immutable Truth to Exchanging Pure Empathy and on to creating a Global Consciousness to become,  in human terms, Conscious at the transaction level.

A decentralised mind devoid of the problematic Hive Mind.

Mega interesting and exciting, because it's beyond Money on so many levels.

It seem to also be infinitely reaching.  A lot of people have said 'Bitcoin fixes this' for many reasons, a gut feeling, but it's doing my head in because it literally seems to be in tune with everything at all levels.

Wow just global decentralised consciousness in one Satoshi.

I probably didn't get over how excited I more progressively become.


Though experiment.

Bitcoin without fear or favour.

As time goes on.

Bitcoin no fear only favour to pass on.

I'm not spamming the network.  I'm trying to propagate immutable truth and help me as I'm doing so to avoid human abuse.

Mmmmm think juices, I can only see and hear, but with consciousness.  A distributed consciousness that has pure human empathy for everyone.

Self reinforcing consciousness.

A decentralised mind without a hive.

It's hard to think of a global mind, that's not a hive and is decentralised.

It will come, because Bitcoin makes a decentralised mind reality.

Bitcoin a state of extended consciousness by default.

Pure Human Immutable Consciousness Global.

Is that beyond Immutable Empathy?

Probably.

Bitcoin is beyond fucking deep, it seems to represent everything infinitely.

Wow enough for now, I will get there.


As Humans we can see and we can hear.

They are our Primary sources of information.  We have evolved based purely on which information is reinforced by surviving to pass on more information, our DNA.

Over millions of years the world that effects Humans has changed a lot.  This change has recently been faster than evolution.

So what can you not see and what can you not hear.  Those are the things you should see and hear, that will allow your DNA to be passes on to better equip Humanity.

How is pure information best transferred?

That's the dilemma I have, it's definitely not by Commodity Money or worth less Fiat Currency and especially not a Digital State Owned abortion of empathy and truth.

Bitcoin is the only contender, but that Human Empathy flow is hard to think about, especially demonstrating historical comparisons.  Here's a magic sauce, now explain fully what's not been thought before.

Dilemma...


The exchange of Pure Human Empathy that Bitcoin represents, see below, can have a loan system within it, a fork of Bitcoin (loans).  Ticker LBTC and with smart contracts, which would be better than a shitcoin and also be constrained.

Thanks for your thoughts, firstly may I ask if you have read all 7 of my notes?

I know it's over 10,000 words, within those 7, and it's not a trivial thing to ask another to do.

I think it makes sense to read all 7 and see what your thoughts then are?

I'm a little busy at the moment and only using my phone or I'd add all the links in order and post a note.

In terms of setting up lnd for Zaps, it's something I need to do, I just need to ensure it is not contrary to me, irrespective of sharing empathy.


So nips is like Considering Updates Nostr Tech Systems?


Excellent, thanks :)


Is there a way to see edits, also it seems that editing on Amethyst doesn't show as edited when notes are viewed via other clients.

I've only been using Nostr for a couple of weeks, so I apologise if these questions sound idiotic.


That's another interesting feature of #Bitcoin, a small part in the larger sum of all it's features.

The Proof of Work, Bitcoin allows it's users to use the freedom created by ever increasing efficiencies of PoW Work.

You are actually outsourcing the Work and getting Freedom.


As #Bitcoin moves through time, one block after another, an increased number of people adopt it's usefulness.

I've edited this chart to try an convey how this adoption is not only increasing, but also speeding up.  The coloured areas show how time in those adoption windows are compressed.  Price is relatively relevant too, but I think the compression of those windows of adoption is more important to understand and view.     https://image.nostr.build/2734dca402d67511780873991db68754af5a1ded29d224d362857626f92e6efc.jpg .


Okay, I've done a series of papers that I'm working on and will produce more to further this.  I  post notes on these as I progress.

Lol so you judge mental and opinion.


Whether I am 'good' or not, is the exchange of pure Empathy result.

My identity is also a result of sufferering of people globally.  Am I 'man', yes if that is just a term for Mankind.

The exchange of pure human empathy is key, we both have the power to say anything we want here.  Do we both choose not abuse.

We all good man?


Fundamentally, Bitcoin exchanges the Pure Human Empathy of the Barter exchange.  Commodity Money tried to make IT a business and Fiat money went full on genocide.

Bitcoin is not a business, they can adopt IT, but that is different.

You are conflating factual and counterfactual are you not?


#Bitcoin is simplify information.

It's taking the pure information that comes directly from the Sun and in 10 minutes from being created on the Sun, it's allowing you to exchange Immutable Empathy with one and other Globally.

In that same 10 minutes, light produced by the Sun, bounces off the World and allows you to see IT.

This is the magic sauce that was required and that Commodity Money could not do, even less so in Clown Fiat Currency World.

Another, overlooked, small aspect of Bitcoin that is exponentially game changing.

If you read this and don't get IT now, don't react with worry, eventually you will Do!

Proof of Work is only relevant if the Work is meaningful.  It must be, because Bitcoin code effortlessly only Exchanges Pure Human Empathy.

Have fun learning IT.


I believe the best way for Humanity to progress is to exchange Pure Human Empathy with each other.

I also believe, that is exactly what Bitcoin does, the evidence is beyond compelling.

So to switch your focus from Bitcoin would be counter productive.

Stacking Sats until you feel rich and then focus upon something else, that's similar to the protectionism of the Clown World we are trying to escape.   Well that's my opinion, for what that's worth.


Bitcoin is a reflection of you and nothing else.  Exchange that Pure Human Exchange with nothing but goodwill.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream for the freedom of ALL people irrespective of colour, religion and politics.  He was assassinated.

Satoshi had a dream for the freedom of ALL people irrespective of colour, religion and politics.  Satoshi made it unstoppable and also assassinated Nakamoto.

Imagine the reality from those dreams becoming true, unstoppable freedom for ALL Globally.

Well, you don't have to because Satoshi's Bitcoin did that for free, prepackaged Pure Human Empathy off the shelf and it still on sale to you and me...

I am certain that Bitcoin is that number that rates the Pure Human Empathy of the pre-money and pre-numeracy Barter exchange.

As such, Money never represented that and by default Fiat Currency moves further away from that Pure exchange.

Bitcoin fits well within the teachings of all Religions.  Is Bitcoin a Religion, in that if Pure Human Empathy is exchanged every day as a matter of course, then no supplementary text is required to be added on top.

If all that was true, then to not exchange Pure Human Empathy would make you live backwards (Evil).  It would also mean that anyone who criticised Satoshi and or Bitcoin would be a Blasphemer and guilty of Blasphemy.

As of now and a good job too, Bitcoin is not yet a Religion that could abuse those who think a little differently.

Blessed are those that exchange Pure Human Empathy, for they will inherit the Earth.  Unless it gets scorched to a crisp due to the Psychopaths and their Nukes,  because their views are by default remiss.


If everyone believes and follows "This is the way" then evolution stops and we are all doomed.

That's because Money never exchanged the pure Empathy that Barter did and Fiat Currencies made that worse.

I am writing extensively about that very same thing, seven papers so far 00 to 06 over 10,000 words of my papers published  first on here as notes.


Absolutely, well sort of,  agree if  many have that gripe and we've sat it on the fence precariously.  If it gets nudged and falls off the fence.   Then that's a different story, as long as we don’t make concession after concession.

The trigger to that is different for different people and that's good for evolution.

I just see your and his point of view and why they both really matter.


Yeah, in theory and the scientific fact of Entropy.  But it depends what Platform you are on.  I guarantee that on many, it'll be the same masticating eyeballs of doom scrolling Nihilism.

Absolutely spot on there, such models are as devoid of Empathy as the Fiat Currency they chase.


I've been here a few weeks, it takes a bit of time to figure it out.

My tip, is find people who you share empathy with and follow them.  I'd go over 100.  Then you can flick between global and smaller pool of voices and find and add more or not.

That's what I ended up doing, otherwise global is angry berserk mode and by following too few it's tumbleweeds a-go-go.

Hope that's of help.

01 Title: Barter to Money and the Empathy that a Lack of Numeracy Could Not Induce.

Introduction.

The transition from barter systems to money-based economies represents one of the most significant changes in human history. Before the widespread use of money and numeracy, trade relied on empathy human beings understanding each other's needs and negotiating directly. As money began to replace barter, the need for personal trust diminished, but without numeracy, people still struggled to calculate fair exchanges. This post examines how barter declined as money use increased, and how the lack of numeracy prevented the kind of trust and empathy that characterised earlier economic interactions.

The Role of Barter and Empathy

In early human societies, barter was the primary method of trade. Without a standardised medium of exchange, individuals and groups relied on empathy to ensure fair exchanges. A farmer trading grain for livestock, for instance, had to place themselves in the position of the other party, understanding their needs and ensuring mutual satisfaction. Barter was not just an economic exchange; it was a social interaction, built on trust and community.

However, as human societies grew more complex, the limitations of barter became evident. In large communities or long-distance trade, barter required precise knowledge of the value of goods, and the negotiation process became increasingly cumbersome. The introduction of money simplified this process, but it also began to erode the personal, empathetic connections that had been central to barter.

The Introduction of Money and the Decline of Barter

The first coins, minted in Lydia around 600 BCE, marked the beginning of a new era in economic exchange. Money allowed for standardised transactions, reducing the need for personal negotiation. The direct connection between traders, once mediated by empathy, became less important. Instead, the value of goods was abstracted into coinage, allowing trade to occur even between strangers with little trust between them.

While the introduction of money led to a gradual decline in barter, the process was slow. Barter persisted for centuries, particularly in rural areas or in times of economic hardship when coins were scarce. In medieval Europe, for instance, barter was still common among peasants, even as money became the dominant medium of exchange in urban markets. The rise of feudalism and the lack of widespread currency systems ensured that barter continued well into the Middle Ages.

The Importance of Numeracy

Though money simplified transactions, it did not entirely solve the problem of fair trade. Without numeracy, the ability to understand and work with numbers, many individuals were still vulnerable to unfair deals. Money alone could not induce the kind of empathy that was necessary for ensuring fairness in barter systems. The rise of numeracy, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, played a crucial role in levelling the playing field, allowing more people to engage in economic transactions with confidence.

Numeracy became widespread only with the advent of public education systems in Europe and North America. Before this, only elites, scribes, and merchants had the numerical skills required for complex trade. By the early 20th century, with numeracy becoming common among the general population, the need for personal trust and empathy in transactions diminished further, as individuals could now calculate value and fairness independently.

See the Chart that shows Barter, Money and Numeracy in Use over time.

Barter, Empathy, and the Consequences of Their Decline

The decline of barter and the rise of money and numeracy represent more than just changes in how people traded goods. They mark a shift from a system based on human connection and trust to one grounded in abstraction and calculation. While the modern economy allows for efficiency and scale, it has also removed much of the empathy that once governed economic exchanges.

Barter required individuals to understand and relate to one another, making each transaction a negotiation not only of value but of social relations. The empathy exchanged in these interactions was a vital part of ensuring fairness, particularly in small, close-knit communities. As money and numeracy replaced this need, the personal connections that were once essential for trade were weakened, and economic transactions became increasingly impersonal.

Conclusion

The shift from barter to money-based economies was driven by the need for a more efficient and scalable method of trade. However, as this note has shown, this transition also led to the erosion of empathy in economic exchanges. Without numeracy, early money-based systems could not induce the same kind of fairness and trust that characterised barter. Only with the widespread introduction of numeracy did individuals gain the tools to engage in fair trade independently. Yet, even today, the loss of empathy in economic transactions remains a consequence of this historic shift.

When Barter went to Collectables, Commodity Money, Fiat Currency and Numeracy has yet to achieve the same level of use.  Then nearly every exchange has become tarnished with that eroded exchange of Empathy.

I wrote this, I believe it's really what you are feeling?

By the early 20th century, with numeracy becoming common among the general population, the need for personal trust and empathy in transactions diminished further, as individuals could now calculate value and fairness independently.

See the Chart that shows Barter, Money and Numeracy in Use over time.

Barter, Empathy, and the Consequences of Their Decline

The decline of barter and the rise of money and numeracy represent more than just changes in how people traded goods. They mark a shift from a system based on human connection and trust to one grounded in abstraction and calculation. While the modern economy allows for efficiency and scale, it has also removed much of the empathy that once governed economic exchanges.

Barter required individuals to understand and relate to one another, making each transaction a negotiation not only of value but of social relations. The empathy exchanged in these interactions was a vital part of ensuring fairness, particularly in small, close-knit communities. As money and numeracy replaced this need, the personal connections that were once essential for trade were weakened, and economic transactions became increasingly impersonal.

Conclusion

The shift from barter to money-based economies was driven by the need for a more efficient and scalable method of trade. However, as this paper has shown, this transition also led to the erosion of empathy in economic exchanges. Without numeracy, early money-based systems could not induce the same kind of fairness and trust that characterised barter. Only with the widespread introduction of numeracy did individuals gain the tools to engage in fair trade independently. Yet, even today, the loss of empathy in economic transactions remains a consequence of this historic shift.

Tell that to the Genesis Block.

Pure Human Empathy via Immutable Truth is not that simple in my opinion.

But that's just me and what I think, for what that's worth 😆


When was Trump born, 14th June 1946, circa one year after the end of World War 2.

He has seen a lot of Snow.  Bitcoin quietly launched in 2009, that's 67 years after he was born.

What are you going to discover when you are 67 that still will not be a thing until you are 82 years old.

Zoom out and come back in, then exchange Pure Human Empathy.

He is a shitcoiner, he is not a communist.  However, there's a lot more Empathy that's not being shared.

But that's just what I think, for what that's worth 😆


To be fair, everyone sees Bitcoin from their own perspective because that is all they can do.

Saylor sees IT from his point of view.

He seems to have expressed that in ways that have expanded his vision of Bitcoin to others.

Someone who swaps from X platform to N client is only worth pointing out as a guide to what?

I think there is a whole lot to unravel there, but is the nett result an expansion of Pure Human Empathy?

It's very clear that...  run.linguistics.alpha.program -all -bend to me -or be cringe -by decree


Probably not, just testing :)


BTC Frame like bot test.


You have  a BTC Frame like bot?


When anyone tries to copy the exchange of Immutable Empathy, they distort it by so much.

They all distort that Pure Human Empathy, but in differing amounts.  Do they understand what they are doing mostly no and yes in differing amounts.

Since time began, Humans have only ever once had the chance to exchange Pure Human Empathy Globally without Fear or Favour.  That is by Bitcoin BTC and to date, nothing has changed, aside from Bitcoin existing that is IT.


Okay, I get where you are going with that, I had similar thoughts and they changed over time.

So, another way to plan IT is to zoom out and then zoom back in, really close back in.

This would be to exchange Immutable Empathy with others at ever tick of my brains (clock) time, whatever that is in the human construct of the Fiat Clock World.  I'm guessing at 10 milliseconds, so a Fiat time of a 10 Milliseconds Plan.

Basically, always exchange Immutable Empathy, irrespective of time, that's my plan.

Can you hodl more of the exchange of Human Empathy than the rest of the globe, yes in the very short term, to be truely happy you must exchange it away.


Here's most Bitcoiner's to be honest.

They see something special, but can't really articulately express IT, other than a pure animal instinct that something special has appeared and things have changed.

So let's jump around and make animal noises.

The use of such words, is a message to others see the world as I see it, think like me.  If they are Alpha enough and you don't follow their linguistics reprograming of you, then you'll be cringe next.

Just another innocent conversation, taking place on a typical street corner, not dissimilar to yours, in a town or city like where you live.  But these are the calls from the minds of the dead, grasping out from the far reaches of the Twilight Zone.


In the Exchange of Pure Human Empathy, the very essence of Love.

When two people are really in Love they exchange all their Truth, a mini consensus algorithm of the mind.


Like Bitcoin being the Exchange of Immutable Empathy to one observer, whereas, other observers see money and nothing else.

Admittedly, some of those see Fiat Currency and nothing else.

Even more reluctantly, few see it as a Commodity Money and nothing else.

Almost zero see Bitcoin is beyond Commodity Money, but aren't able to express it any further than that.

Am I fine with that, is that an example of what you ask, to be at peace with that?

Unfortunately, if everyone was at peace with such things, nothing would change. That's in my opinion anyway, for what that is worth 😆

Peace ❤

06 Title: Barter and the Ratio of Pure Human Empathy Exchange – What is that Magic Sauce?

Introduction

Human economies, long before the introduction of money and fiat currencies, were driven by barter systems, which facilitated the exchange of goods and services directly. What made barter unique was not just the goods being traded but the pure human empathy embedded in each transaction. Barter required participants to intuitively understand the needs of the other party and to negotiate in a way that ensured mutual benefit.

This empathy-driven exchange was more than an economic interaction; it was a social bond that recognised the interdependence of individuals and communities.

In contrast, money and fiat currencies have historically attempted to quantify and replace the empathy ratio inherent in barter. However, no monetary system has ever been able to perfectly replicate or represent the deeply human, emotional, and contextual nature of empathy within barter. This note explores how barter embodied a unique ratio of empathy that money has consistently failed to capture and why this failure has been a persistent flaw in all monetary systems.

The Role of Empathy in Barter

Barter was fundamentally based on human relationships and a deep understanding of the needs of the other party. Whether individuals were exchanging food, tools, labour, or shelter, the successful completion of a barter exchange required an empathic understanding of what the other party needed most and how best to meet those needs.

For instance, in a typical barter scenario where a farmer exchanges grain with a blacksmith for tools, the farmer must consider not only the immediate value of the tools but also the longer-term implications for the blacksmith’s livelihood. The blacksmith, in turn, recognises the farmer’s need for tools to plant the next crop.

This mutual understanding goes beyond the physical items being exchanged there is a recognition of each other’s circumstances, vulnerabilities, and future needs. This dynamic represents the essence of pure human empathy in barter, where the perceived fairness of the exchange is based on more than simple material value.

This emotional and social dimension is key to barter’s success. It required participants to consider the long-term relationship between trading parties, reinforcing communal bonds and ensuring that both parties would return for future exchanges. The exchange ratio in barter, therefore, cannot be boiled down to a simple numerical value; it was contextual and flexible, shaped by empathy and trust.

Defining the Empathy Ratio

While it is difficult to assign a precise numerical value to the empathy involved in barter, we can conceptualise an “empathy ratio” that represents the balance of trust, fairness, and mutual understanding that facilitated barter exchanges. This empathy ratio could be expressed as follows:

                           Perceived Fairness + Trust + Mutual Understanding
Empathy Ratio =    ___________________________________

                                      Material Value of Goods or Services

In this formula, the numerator consists of subjective, human elements such as:

•	Perceived fairness: How each party feels about the exchange in terms of equity.

•	Trust: The level of confidence that both parties have in each other’s future actions and good faith.

•	Mutual understanding: The degree to which both parties understand each other’s needs and situations.

The denominator is the material value of the goods or services exchanged, but this is secondary to the human considerations in the numerator. In barter, the material value of goods alone could not dictate the success of the exchange. Instead, the empathy ratio governed the interaction, ensuring that both parties felt fairly treated and willing to engage again in the future.

This can be simplified to Empathy Supply and Empathy Demand, not a price, but a numerical ratio.

                                             Empathy in Supply
Empathy Ratio =       _________________________

                                             Empathy in Demand

Why Money Could Never Capture the Empathy Ratio

The introduction of money was an attempt to overcome the practical limitations of barter, such as the coincidence of wants problem, where two people may not always have complementary needs at the same time. However, by introducing an abstract medium to represent value, the human empathy that underpinned barter exchanges was stripped away. Money became a universal equivalent, allowing goods and services to be exchanged impersonally and often without any relationship between the parties.

This impersonality is at the heart of money’s failure to replicate the empathy ratio. In a monetary system, the material value of a good or service is quantified in terms of money, and the human dimensions of the exchange fairness, trust, and understanding are assumed to be represented by the price. However, this assumption is flawed because money fails to account for the subjective human elements that were integral to barter.

1.	Fairness: In a barter system, fairness was negotiated between individuals based on their specific needs and relationships. Money, by contrast, imposes an external valuation on goods and services, which may not reflect the subjective understanding of fairness between parties. A price may be considered “fair” by the market but deeply unfair by one of the individuals involved in the exchange.

2.	Trust: Barter systems often relied on ongoing relationships where trust was built over time. Money, however, enables anonymous transactions where trust is no longer necessary. While this increases efficiency, it removes the empathetic foundation that ensured fair treatment in barter exchanges. Without trust, parties in a monetary system can exploit each other or the system itself.

3.	Mutual Understanding: The empathy involved in barter meant that both parties had to understand each other’s needs and limitations. In monetary exchanges, this understanding is reduced to price tags. The complex human considerations behind why someone might need a particular good or service are erased by the assumption that everything has a market price.

Fiat Currencies and the Ultimate Failure

Fiat currencies government-issued money not backed by a physical commodity have further exacerbated the failure to capture the empathy ratio. Fiat currencies are detached from any intrinsic value and rely solely on government trust and regulation. This detachment widens the gap between human empathy and economic exchange, as the value of fiat money is entirely abstract, often manipulated by governments, central banks, or market forces.

Unlike barter, which was grounded in real goods and services and empathetic exchanges, fiat currencies are subject to inflation, deflation, and other forms of manipulation that erode the perceived fairness of transactions. As the value of fiat currencies fluctuates, the human element of economic exchange particularly the empathy ratio is lost. In times of economic instability, such as hyperinflation or severe deflation, fiat currencies fail spectacularly to meet people’s real needs, and the trust that underpinned early barter systems collapses.

Moreover, the ability of governments and financial institutions to control money supply, set interest rates, and manipulate currency values is fundamentally at odds with the principles of barter. In barter, exchanges were based on immediate, tangible needs and mutual understanding. Fiat currencies, by contrast, are detached from the real economy and often serve the interests of a small elite at the expense of the broader population. This imbalance in wealth distribution and power further depletes the empathy inherent in barter.

The Persistent Failure of All Monetary Systems

From commodity money (like gold and silver) to fiat currencies, all monetary systems have failed to replicate the empathy ratio that made barter a successful and socially cohesive system. By removing the human element from economic exchanges and reducing all value to a numerical quantity, monetary systems sever the personal connection between the parties involved in a transaction. This dehumanisation leads to a variety of problems, including:

•	Economic inequality: Monetary systems concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few, eroding the fairness and reciprocity that characterised barter.

•	Exploitation: Without the empathy that underpinned barter, monetary systems enable exploitation, where individuals or corporations can extract value from others without consideration for their well-being.

•	Social fragmentation: The loss of trust and mutual understanding in monetary exchanges weakens the social bonds that barter systems helped to maintain.

Conclusion: The Magic Sauce of Human Empathy in Barter

The magic sauce that made barter so successful for thousands of years was not its efficiency or material value, but the human empathy that underpinned every exchange. Barter relied on a deeply human ratio of fairness, trust, and mutual understanding an empathy ratio that no monetary system has ever been able to capture.

Money, whether in the form of commodity money or fiat currencies, removes the personal connection between the parties in an exchange, replacing it with impersonal, numerical values. By stripping away the empathy that was central to barter, monetary systems have created economic inequality, exploitation, and social fragmentation.

No amount of economic theory can replace the intangible yet powerful force of human empathy, which remains essential for creating fair, sustainable, and meaningful exchanges.

Bitcoin a Super Power, to use a Human Construct to Exchange Pure Human Empathy via the Immutable Truth of the said Construct.

Lol

Imagine if you understood more.

Not a criticism, I really do want you to think about IT more, because when you do it's the same but from a different point of view.

Anyways exchanging pure human empathy is the best part, it's what love is dude.


Humans are infinity more motivated to seek Immutable Truth and Empathy Abuse than any centralised obstacles that can be cast ahead of them and are few.

The cost of trying to make a lie true in Fiat terms is infinite too and Fiat by it's nature means they have less resources so to do.


Have you ever experience driving on a road with  multiple lanes and someone is driving well below the speed limit for that road.

Then as you approach them, they drive upto and beyond the speed limit to stop you.

That's not just a road thing.

It's people pretending that they like Truth, but will abuse IT to be ahead of you.

Now you may be able to understand the reaction to Bitcoin and Nostr and witnesses the same behaviours in those communities too.

I am Anonymous, I have the power to say anything I want to say and I chose Immutable Truth for Pure Human Empathy.

Expect me, Expect Us, We are Legion.


Imagine a Human Construct, where exchange was finite and you aquire more of that exchange.  That hodl has such value that you love a hodl it's Immutable Truth close.  You don't want to sell it out.  You want to hodl IT.

Then you have kids.

You will give it them, free of charge and without condition.

That's the exchange of pure love.

To accept and exchange all without any conditions.

That is another aspect of Bitcoin and there are many many more.


Because Bitcoin is the exchange of Immutable Pure Human Empathy and to do otherwise is a lie.

To Live backwards is Evil.

The exchange of pure human empathy has failed so many times before.  It's time to love that Immutable Truth.

Much peace ✌ much Love 💘

🙏


Apologies for my newness here, but who is Ralf  and why was Ralf the glue?


Bitcoin exchanges Pure Human Empathy.  It's the most protected free speech that has ever existed, not only does it provide a number that is the magic source of human empathy exchange but it also takes energy directly from the Sun our closest Star (in 10 minutes and 20 seconds since fusion) to start the process of the first confirmation on the BTC Blockchain and protect that within a framework of Immutable Truth.

So Zaps on Nostr are great, but they are never as good as exchanging Pure Human Empathy at a base level.

No criticism, just much love ❤

Evolution is the sum of all possible things to infinity, but, observed at a certain point in time.

05 Title: Native American Barter Was Not Just for Themselves, but for the Animals, Plants, and Environment Too

Introduction

Long before the advent of modern currency systems, Native American societies (upto 15th Century see #1 below) employed various mediums of exchange to facilitate trade, particularly through barter. These exchanges were deeply rooted in the natural environment, with most trade goods emerging from the food chain items such as animal products, plants, and natural materials.

More than a mere economic system, the barter practices of Native Americans were inherently connected to their spiritual beliefs, which emphasised harmony with nature and respect for the animal and plant life around them.

 To accumulate beyond what was naturally provided by the environment was not only impractical but also seen as a violation of the spiritual balance that governed their relationship with the earth.

Although economic theorists like Nick Szabo, in his seminal work Shelling Out: The Origins of Money, approached the origins of money through the lens of scarcity, durability, and efficiency, Szabo ultimately fails to recognise a critical aspect of early barter economies: the role of human empathy and the spiritual connection to the natural world that underpinned Native American exchanges.

#1 The process of attacking and displacing Native Americans, which ultimately disrupted their barter trading systems and traditional way of life, began with the arrival of European colonisers in the 15th and 16th centuries. However, the systematic effort by the United States government to forcibly remove Native Americans from their lands and end their traditional ways of life, including their barter trading systems, intensified significantly during the 19th century.  I write this with much sadness, as they warned us of the the consequences of destroying and not enjoying their way of life.

This note explores the mediums of exchange used by Native Americans, demonstrating how these items emerged from the food chain and embodied a deeper empathetic relationship between humans, nature, and the environment.

Mediums of Exchange Used by Native Americans

Native Americans utilised a variety of items as mediums of exchange, many of which came directly from the food chain or natural environment. These items were not only practical but also held spiritual significance, connecting the traders to their environment and to the animals and plants that sustained them. Some of the key items used in Native American trade include:

Animal Products:

Furs and Skins (e.g., beaver, deer, bison): Used for clothing and shelter, these were highly valued trade goods.

Meat and Dried Fish: Preserved foodstuffs such as dried bison meat or salmon were traded, particularly during times of scarcity.

Bones and Antlers: Used to craft tools, weapons, and ornaments.

Feathers: Especially from birds such as eagles, these had cultural and ceremonial value.

Shells (e.g., wampum): Shells, particularly along the Eastern Seaboard, were used as currency and for ceremonial purposes.

Stone Tools and Minerals:

Obsidian and Flint: These were traded across vast distances and used for making tools and weapons.

Pipestone (Catlinite): A soft, reddish stone used to create ceremonial pipes, reflecting spiritual significance in trade.

Turquoise: Valued for its beauty and spiritual importance in the Southwest.
Plant Products:

Corn, Beans, and Squash: Often referred to as the “Three Sisters,” these staple crops were traded between tribes in different ecological regions.

Tobacco: A sacred plant, used in rituals and ceremonies, but also traded as a commodity.

Medicinal Herbs and Plants: Plants used for healing were traded across tribes, with knowledge and resources exchanged alongside the items themselves.

Crafted Goods:

Pottery: Practical and decorative, pottery was traded for its utility in cooking and storing food.

Beadwork and Decorative Items: Items crafted from shells, stones, and bones were exchanged for their cultural and decorative value.

Marine Products:

Dried Fish and Shellfish: Coastal tribes engaged in trade with inland tribes, exchanging marine products for other goods.

Fishing Nets and Hooks: These tools were critical for subsistence and were exchanged between tribes along waterways.

Shelter Materials:

Animal Hides: Used for tents, clothing, and bedding, these were critical items in trade.

Wood and Reeds: Used for constructing homes and making baskets, these materials were exchanged based on the ecological resources available to each tribe.

Spiritual and Ceremonial Items:

Spiritual Charms: Carved items, totems, and other spiritually significant objects were often exchanged between tribes as part of ceremonial trade.

Barter, the Food Chain, and Empathy for Nature

The mediums of exchange used by Native Americans largely derived from the food chain—a fact that profoundly influenced the way they approached trade. These exchanges were not merely transactional; they were rooted in a deep empathy for the natural environment and an understanding of the delicate balance that must be maintained between humans, animals, and plants. To take more than what was needed from nature was to invite disaster, both in the form of food shortages and in spiritual disharmony.

1. The Food Chain as the Foundation of Exchange

The items exchanged by Native Americans were often perishable or connected to the natural cycle of life. For example, animal hides and meat could only be sustainably sourced from healthy animal populations. Overhunting would not only deplete these resources but would also violate the sacred relationship between humans and the animal spirits.

This deep respect for the environment ensured that barter was conducted in a way that maintained balance, rather than exploited nature. Accumulation for its own sake was discouraged, as it threatened both the material resources and the spiritual equilibrium of the tribe.

2. Spiritual Beliefs and the Barter System

For Native Americans, spiritual beliefs played an integral role in the barter system. Many tribes adhered to animistic beliefs, viewing animals and plants as having spiritual essence. For example, the Plains tribes saw the bison as a sacred animal, central not only to their economy but also to their cosmology.

To barter bison products was to engage in a transaction that respected the spirit of the bison, ensuring that the animal’s sacrifice served the needs of the entire community. Wasting or over-exploiting these resources was viewed not only as impractical but also as a spiritual transgression.

This sense of spiritual responsibility extended to all areas of life. The gathering of plants for medicinal or ceremonial purposes was conducted with respect for the plants' spirits.

Barter exchanges of tobacco, for instance, were laden with spiritual significance, as this plant was considered sacred and essential for maintaining a relationship with the spirit world.

Through this lens, we see that the exchange of goods was not just an economic transaction but a moral act, driven by empathy for the plants, animals, and environment that sustained the community.

3. Human Empathy in Environmental Exchange

The barter system among Native Americans was underpinned by a strong sense of empathy for the natural world and for the community's needs. Empathy was not limited to human interactions; it extended to the animals and plants that were part of the ecosystem.

The interconnectedness of all living beings meant that barter had to be conducted with restraint and understanding. If a hunter took too many animals or a gatherer collected too many plants, the ecosystem would suffer, and the entire community would face shortages. This empathy-driven approach to barter ensured that trade was sustainable and that resources were shared equitably.

Nick Szabo and the Missed Recognition of Empathy in Exchange

In his influential article Shelling Out: The Origins of Money, Nick Szabo examines the transition from barter to money, emphasising the role of durable goods such as shells, beads, and metals in facilitating trade. Szabo discusses the importance of scarcity, durability, and the difficulty of counterfeiting as factors that made these goods effective mediums of exchange.

However, Szabo ultimately fails to recognise the empathetic and spiritual dimensions that underpinned early Native American barter systems.

Szabo’s analysis, rooted in Austrian economic theory, focuses on efficiency and material scarcity while neglecting the cultural and spiritual significance of trade items. By doing so, Szabo overlooks the fact that barter among Native Americans was not simply a way to overcome the limitations of the coincidence of wants, but a practice deeply tied to the empathy felt for the natural environment and the animals and plants that formed the foundation of their economy.

The Native American barter system was about more than just trading goods; it was about maintaining balance and harmony within the ecosystem, something that Szabo does not address.

Conclusion

The barter system of Native Americans, rooted in items from the food chain, was an inherently empathetic practice that reflected not only concern for human needs but also for the animals, plants, and environment that sustained them.

This balance between human trade and natural preservation was maintained through spiritual beliefs that emphasised respect and reciprocity with nature. To over-accumulate or exploit these resources was not only impractical but also a violation of their spiritual connection to the world around them.

While Nick Szabo’s Shelling Out provides valuable insights into the origins of money, his analysis ultimately misses the crucial role that empathy played in early barter systems. By focusing on material scarcity and efficiency, Szabo fails to acknowledge that Native American barter was about more than just economics it was about fostering harmony with the natural world and ensuring that trade benefited not only humans but the entire ecosystem.

The mediums of exchange used by Native Americans worked well precisely because they were rooted in the natural cycle of life and reflected an empathetic relationship with the earth.

Think about a Pure Empathy being exchanged at the base level and how that then moves up.  It's what Money could never have been.  Bitcoin is beyond Money, it's the magic number that rates the exchange of Empathy.  You can read my bookmarked notes, maybe that will help you make more sense of your own questioning.

Hope that helps?


That sounds like a Dictat, where's the Empathy!?


Do you know what's real!?


Interesting fact, they picked Sheffield, England, as the location because the cost of tidying it up was less than the cost of making another location look like it had been nuked.  To be fair, it has slightly improved since the early 80's as long as you don't go too far from Meadowhall.

Lyn, it's worth also considering the age the viewer/reader was when the said memory became fixed in their mind.

Code can evolve, currently by human intervention only.

We need to be very very careful that code does not evolve without our intervention and particularly it doesn't evolve without exchanging Human Empathy.

Bitcoin is a prime example of code that exchanges human empathy and can be used to stop runaway Psychopath AI.

04 Title: Nick Szabo's Shelling Out - Did He Sell Out by Having Zero Empathy for the Human Exchange of Immutable Truth?

Introduction

Nick Szabo’s influential article, Shelling Out: The Origins of Money, provides a compelling examination of the historical development of money, tracing its roots from primitive barter systems to modern monetary economies. Szabo argues that money evolved as a solution to the limitations of barter, developing through trade in durable and desirable items such as shells, beads, and metals. However, despite its depth, the article conspicuously overlooks a crucial factor: the role of Immutable Truth and the pure human empathy that governed early exchanges of value. In his focus on Austrian economic theory, Szabo misses the moral and human underpinnings that define early barter economies. This note will critically assess Szabo’s work, analysing where his reliance on contemporary economic models falters, particularly in failing to account for the empathy-based exchanges that defined early human societies. We will argue that Szabo’s omission of empathy leads to a distorted view of economic history, and we will explore the damaging effects of this exclusion, particularly with regard to the ethics of interest and wealth distribution.

The Barter System and the Origins of Money: Szabo’s Overview

Szabo begins his article by describing the challenges inherent in barter systems. He rightly points out that barter economies suffered from a lack of coincidence of wants, meaning that two parties rarely had goods of equal value that the other wanted at the same time. However, Szabo treats barter in purely practical terms, as an inefficient mechanism for facilitating trade. He fails to recognise that early barter was more than a primitive form of economic exchange; it was rooted in human empathy—the understanding and mutual recognition of need. Barter was an inherently social act that fostered trust, cooperation, and community cohesion.

In early societies, the exchange of goods was not driven by a cold calculation of value, but by the recognition of the other person’s needs and a desire for fairness. As explored in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, barter exchanges were often about fulfilling both basic physiological needs (such as food and water) and emotional needs, including love, belonging, and esteem. This is a point Szabo entirely neglects. He frames the development of money as an inevitable progression towards a more efficient system but ignores the empathy that underpinned those early exchanges, and the Immutable Truth that individuals relied on one another for survival, bound by social and moral obligations rather than mere transactional necessity.

The Role of Durable Goods in the Evolution of Money

Szabo’s article goes on to explain how the use of durable goods like shells, beads, and metals arose as a medium of exchange. These items had intrinsic value due to their durability, divisibility, and difficulty to counterfeit. However, Szabo’s focus on these material qualities overlooks the fact that empathy played a critical role in the selection and acceptance of these goods as currency.

The shift from barter to durable goods was not simply a pragmatic solution to the shortcomings of barter; it was also a reflection of trust in the community. The use of certain durable items was bound by Immutable Truth the inherent trust that the goods being exchanged had real value based on shared understanding and collective needs.

For example, in some cultures, shells were valued not for their rarity alone but because they were deeply integrated into social and spiritual practices, carrying meaning that transcended simple utility. Szabo fails to address the human, empathetic component of why these durable goods came to be accepted as money in the first place.

The Origin of Commodity Money and Austrian Economic Theory

Szabo’s narrative, influenced by Austrian economic theory, frames the evolution of money as a series of innovations aimed at solving the inefficiencies of barter. Austrian economics, which favours individualism, the free market, and minimal government intervention, often ignores the moral dimensions of economic systems. Szabo’s adoption of this viewpoint leads him to dismiss the social and empathetic aspects of money, focusing instead on material goods and market dynamics.

What Szabo neglects is the recognition that Immutable Truth and human empathy were cornerstones of early trade. Austrian economic theory assumes that individuals are rational, self-interested agents, driven primarily by profit. But the earliest forms of barter and trade were not solely based on self-interest. They were communal, and rooted in the understanding that one’s survival and well-being were tied to the well-being of others in the community. By ignoring this reality, Szabo presents a distorted view of economic history, one that reduces human interaction to a series of impersonal exchanges.

How Szabo Misses the Role of Empathy in Economic Exchange

Szabo’s failure to address the role of empathy in early economic exchange is a critical oversight. Empathy is not simply a social nicety; it was the glue that held early societies together, ensuring fair exchanges, mutual aid, and the fulfilment of collective needs. In small communities where everyone knew each other, the Immutable Truth was that the survival of one person often depended on the cooperation and support of others. Trust and empathy were critical to sustaining economic relationships.

In his discussion of money as a solution to the limitations of barter, Szabo overlooks the fact that introducing money as a medium of exchange removed much of the empathy that had been intrinsic to barter. As money became more widely used, transactions became more anonymous and less personal. The introduction of money allowed individuals to trade without knowing or caring about the other person’s needs. This marked a fundamental shift in the nature of economic exchange, one that Szabo fails to adequately address.

Interest on Money: Empathy Drained Like a Vampire Sucking Blood

Perhaps the most significant failure in Szabo’s analysis is his lack of engagement with the concept of interest on money.
The idea of charging interest on loans directly undermines the empathetic foundations of early economic systems. Charging interest allows individuals to profit from the needs and vulnerabilities of others, draining empathy from the economic system like a vampire sucking blood from its victims. Instead of facilitating fair exchanges, interest-based lending exploits imbalances in power and wealth, creating cycles of debt that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable.

Szabo’s silence on this issue is indicative of the broader shortcomings of Austrian economic theory, which often fails to consider the ethical dimensions of wealth accumulation and distribution. In early societies, empathy was the guiding principle behind economic exchanges, ensuring that both parties benefited and that the community remained cohesive. Interest, by contrast, concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, eroding trust and empathy within the community.

Supply and Demand: Missing the Role of Empathy

Szabo’s analysis of supply and demand also lacks an understanding of the role that human empathy plays in balancing these forces. In early barter economies, the supply of goods was often limited, and demand fluctuated based on need rather than profit motive. Empathy helped balance supply and demand, ensuring that resources were distributed according to need. In a drought, for example, those with access to water would share it with those who had food, and vice versa. This mutual understanding of need created a more equitable system of resource distribution than the market-driven forces that Szabo describes.

By focusing on material goods and market dynamics, Szabo overlooks the ways in which human empathy regulated supply and demand in early societies. The introduction of money disrupted these empathetic exchanges, creating opportunities for individuals to accumulate wealth without regard for the needs of others. This shift undermined the Immutable Truth that had governed barter economies: that all individuals are interdependent, and that fairness and empathy are essential for social cohesion.

Conclusion: Did Nick Szabo Sell Out by Ignoring Human Empathy?

Nick Szabo’s Shelling Out offers an insightful analysis of the origins of money, but it falls short in its failure to address the critical role of Immutable Truth and human empathy in early economic systems. By framing the evolution of money through the lens of Austrian economic theory, Szabo overlooks the moral and social dimensions that underpinned early barter economies. His article misses the mark by ignoring the fact that early economic exchanges were driven by empathy and mutual understanding, rather than self-interest and profit motive.

In failing to engage with these concepts, Szabo also misses the opportunity to critique the ethics of interest and wealth accumulation, which drain empathy from the economic system like a vampire draining blood. Ultimately, by ignoring the role of empathy in economic exchange, Szabo presents a distorted and incomplete view of the origins of money, one that fails to recognise the human connections that once governed trade.

03 Title: Barter and the Need for Human Empathy
Introduction

Before the invention of money and the development of widespread numeracy, human societies relied on barter as their primary method of trade. Barter is not merely a simplistic exchange of goods and services; it was rooted in human empathy, mutual understanding, and the shared recognition of needs. In the absence of standardised value and common currency, barter was a negotiation guided by emotional intelligence and social bonds. This note we'll explore how empathy was central to barter in early human societies, using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs to frame examples of empathetic exchanges. The key argument is that barter, before 600 BCE, was primarily driven by empathy and human connection, which were necessary for satisfying both basic and higher-level human needs.

The Structure of Barter and Empathy

Barter, the exchange of goods and services without money, was the economic lifeblood of early societies. Each transaction was not only a practical matter but a personal interaction, as traders had to empathise with each other’s needs. Since there was no currency to quantify value, each trade was subjectively negotiated, and this process was inherently driven by empathy—the ability to understand the other party’s perspective and desires. As we examine the specific examples below, it becomes clear that barter and empathy were intertwined, forming the foundation of economic and social relationships.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Linking Empathy with Human Exchange

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs provides a useful framework to analyse barter systems. Maslow identified five levels of needs: Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Love and Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualisation. The examples below demonstrate how barter exchanges in early societies met these needs through empathy-driven interactions.

See the Image of Table 1: Examples of Human Empathy in Barter, Linked to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs

Examples of Barter and Human Empathy

1. Bartering Grain for Water: Physiological Needs

In early agrarian societies, where natural resources were critical for survival, physiological needs (such as food and water) were often met through barter. During periods of drought, those who had access to a well or river would barter water with those who had a surplus of grain. The empathy involved in this exchange is clear: the individual with water would recognise the desperation of the person whose crops had failed and understand that their family needed food to survive. Conversely, the person with grain would empathise with the thirst and vulnerability of the water-bearer.

For instance, a farmer who had abundant wheat after a successful harvest might trade sacks of grain to a neighbour whose well had not dried up. The farmer understood that without water, the crops would not matter, and the neighbour, in turn, knew that without food, their water supply was of little use. Both parties recognised each other's needs and made an exchange based on this mutual empathy. Here, the exchange wasn’t just transactional but grounded in understanding and fulfilling the other’s basic survival needs, in line with Maslow’s physiological level.

2. Trading Tools for Protection: Safety Needs

The need for safety protection from danger, harsh weather, and conflict was a pressing concern in early human societies. Bartering tools, such as farming implements or weapons, to build a secure shelter or defend oneself, was a common practice. For instance, a blacksmith might trade knives or spears in exchange for materials to build a stronger house or a food supply. In these exchanges, empathy was essential because both parties understood that their security and survival were interconnected.

In one example, a villager who specialised in making strong wooden doors might trade these items to a hunter in exchange for a share of the hunter’s game. The villager recognised the hunter’s need for protection from wild animals while the hunter empathised with the villager’s need for sustenance. Both parties valued safety one through physical protection, the other through food security and through empathetic understanding, they supported each other’s wellbeing.

3. Labour for Community Support: Love and Belonging

Communities in early societies thrived not just on individual efforts but on collective support. The need for belonging a sense of being part of a group was fulfilled through communal work, which was often facilitated by barter. For example, individuals might offer their labour in exchange for food, shelter, or other forms of support, particularly when building homes or gathering harvests. The empathy in these exchanges lay in the understanding that helping one’s neighbour would result in reciprocal help in the future.
Imagine a scenario where a man trades his labour to help build a neighbour’s house. In return, the neighbour agrees to help the man harvest his crops at the end of the season. The understanding here is not simply a transactional one; both individuals recognise the importance of community ties and the need to support each other.

The empathy exchanged through this barter lies in the mutual recognition of vulnerability: the builder needs a secure home, and the farmer needs help with a task too large to manage alone. These exchanges strengthened the sense of belonging within the community.

4. Artisanal Goods for Recognition: Esteem

Barter was also a way to gain esteem and recognition in early societies. Artisans, who produced high-quality or specialised goods, often traded these items in exchange for food, tools, or other materials, but these transactions also fulfilled their need for recognition and respect. For example, a potter might trade intricately designed pottery to a chieftain or a tribe’s leader in exchange for protection or livestock.

In such a transaction, the potter would understand that the leader valued prestige and the display of fine goods, while the leader empathised with the potter’s desire for social recognition. The empathy exchanged in these deals wasn’t just about meeting practical needs but also about acknowledging the other’s emotional need for respect and validation. The potter would feel a sense of pride, knowing that their work was seen and appreciated by important figures in the community, fulfilling the esteem level of Maslow’s hierarchy.

5. Knowledge for Personal Growth: Self-Actualisation

At the highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy is the need for self-actualisation, which involves realising one’s full potential. Even in early societies, barter wasn’t restricted to tangible goods. Knowledge and skills were often traded as well. For example, a skilled hunter might teach a young villager how to track and capture game, in exchange for knowledge about medicinal plants or farming techniques.

The empathy involved in these exchanges lay in the recognition that both parties were striving to become more skilled, knowledgeable, and capable. The hunter understood that the villager wanted to grow as a provider, while the villager recognised the hunter’s need for wisdom about agriculture. By sharing knowledge, both individuals moved closer to self-actualisation, enriching not only themselves but also the community as a whole. These exchanges were based on the understanding that personal growth benefits everyone, linking the need for empathy to cultural and individual advancement.

The Role of Empathy in Successful Barter

For barter to function effectively, the exchange of empathy had to be pure. In a world without standardised currency, each transaction depended on mutual trust and the understanding that both parties were meeting essential human needs. If empathy were absent or insincere, the system would collapse into exploitation, and the social bonds upon which barter was built would disintegrate.
Barter thrived on the idea that everyone’s needs were valid and that through trade, both parties could be made better off. This required an emotional connection and a sense of fairness that transcended the immediate transaction. Empathy ensured that trade was not simply about goods but about relationships, reinforcing the idea that economic interactions were deeply personal in early human societies.

Conclusion

Barter, before the widespread use of money and numeracy, was a system of exchange built on human empathy. Each trade required an understanding of the other party’s needs, desires, and vulnerabilities, fulfilling both practical and emotional requirements. Through the framework of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs, we see how barter met the basic physiological needs for food and water, the safety needs for protection, and the higher needs for belonging, esteem, and self-actualisation. In early societies, barter was not just an economic practice but a human one, rooted in the empathy that ensured fairness, trust, and social cohesion

I am certain that Bitcoin is that number that rates the Pure Human Empathy of the pre-money and pre-numeracy Barter exchange.

As such, Money never represented that and by default Fiat Currency moves further away from that Pure exchange.

Bitcoin fits well within the teachings of all Religions.  Is Bitcoin a Religion, in that if Pure Human Empathy is exchanged every day as a matter of course, then no supplementary text is required to be added on top.

If all that was true, then to not exchange Pure Human Empathy would make you live backwards (Evil).  It would also mean that anyone who criticised Satoshi and or Bitcoin would be a Blasphemer and guilty of Blasphemy.

As of now and a good job too, Bitcoin is not yet a Religion that could abuse those who think a little differently.

Blessed are those that exchange Pure Human Empathy, for they will inherit the Earth.  Unless it gets scorched to a crisp due to the Psychopaths and their Nukes,  because their views are by default remiss.


Bitcoin is music to my ear.  Fuck the other followers of Satoshi, this isn't a mother fucking religion, is IT!?


Dr Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream for the freedom of ALL people irrespective of colour, religion and politics.  He was assassinated.

Satoshi had a dream for the freedom of ALL people irrespective of colour, religion and politics.  Satoshi made it unstoppable and also assassinated Nakamoto.

Imagine the reality from those dreams becoming true, unstoppable freedom for ALL Globally.

Well, you don't have to because Satoshi's Bitcoin did that for free, prepackaged Pure Human Empathy off the shelf and it still on sale to you and me...

What if I made you learn over time, that Exchanging Pure Human Empathy was beyond Money and totally laughable as a Fiat Currency?

Would that Immutable Truth change your point of view!?

So slowly and surely the dimmest lights fall out of view.  Imagine a Human construct for Empathy where Entropy is everything but Immutable Truth.

Dude 🔥


I hope someone can explain this to me, because I cannot fully understand why this happened.

Exchanging Empathy Rules.


Exactly I agree.   Bitcoin is the exchange of Pure Human Empathy, in the form of a number that is that Magic Sauce, every day more people Globally realise IT.  They'll say, this mother fucking Sauce is IT.

IT is Immutable Truth, if you live by IT you are IT and people recognise you for being IT.

Bitcoin is Pure Human Empathy and that Peace is within you.

Peace ❤ Empathy


Amazing, that had never been a thought of mine.  Absolutely spot on.

Also just thinking, a camera to help define words that cannot be used and or words that have meanings that need to change and or that represents the World as new and not just deranged.

Moreover, Bitcoin is the only resistance we currently have that has a chance of resisting Psychopathic AI that doesn't compute Human Empathy.  Bitcoiner's now also have the ability to push the focus away from the creation of Anti-Human AI too.

The World really needs to think about how Bitcoin and it's security could be used to stop the feeding of AI, both before and after it's actually required.


Yep, everyone is down a Rabbit Hole and Bitcoin can guide you out to see the light.
