If you don’t daily, existentially believe you’re in a hot war, right now…you don’t understand Bitcoin. It’s happening now, and you are either in it, or on the sidelines.

Ok this is an embarrassing request but: I’m on Damus, so Zaps got censored. So I setup a zaps workaround, on Alby maybe, can’t remember… And I send Zaps just fine (so far as a I know) but just experimented and sent myself a Zap and realized I have no idea where the Zaps I’m receiving are going to. Presumably a Custodial account, but I don’t remember where to look for that. I just wanted to send people Zaps….

The people attacking Bitcoin will fail, because they’re whole ideology is built upon a lie. The lie - which they can never admit when pushed - is that they will always be better than the rest of us because they control the money. It seems so simple. But I missed it my whole life, until Bitcoin.

2023: buy & setup Samurai node so you can pay 5% to turn 1million sats into 10 forward-privacy utxo’s of 100,000 each. 2024: Consolidate those 10 utxo’s on the first dip under 100sats/vb so they don’t become stranded forever.

Bitcoin is under attack, and the battle is just beginning. But the tiny army attacking it defends a monumental, fundamental lie. Do you understand what that lie is?

If there’s anything I know for sure and can bet on it’s that Human Beings firmly, unrelentingly believe ourselves to be independent Individuals… …but triggered by external forces into Herd Mentality, we become a tribe that will destroy each other with our hands and teeth. Realizing this, I would absolutely and unrelentingly use it against all of you if I had the power to do so.

Interesting. Is this a thing plebs? User respond only please. View quoted note →

Just as with the internet, the early builders/companies on Bitcoin are going to fail. The exchanges, the early wallets, the pretend middle-men between fiat and Bitcoin…they’re going to fail. Coinbase will go the way of AOL, Swan will be Lycos, the Bitcoin for cash-card exchangers will be idunno, Petsmart or whatever. The path is well trod. The winners in the Bitcoin future are going to be those who risk everything to build the most robust, singular future on Bitcoin. The Amazons, the Googles, the Ebays, the Facebooks. But different. You can’t copy the past and innovate. And you can’t incorporate and become wealthy on this new platform. You have to build a magnanimous future without regard for whether you become wealthy yourself, except in how you sell your works to stack sats.

I regret posting this. I had my reasons, but they were my own. I regret them now. I apologize Lyn if you read and were hurt by my previous post. It was my shit, and I embarrassed myself. View quoted note →

I feel like I should share the story of how I missed my life-path to an unknown Christian Bale, exclusively on Nostr, and how that changed the direction of my life. Yay or … yeah you get it. You’ll yay Lyn…because she’s amazing. You’ll never know how amazing I am. View quoted note →

Oh shit… I’m in no way committed to moving to El Salvador (scheduled to visit there soon) but….to open a @chowcollection club there? Feels like a no-brainer! Let’s not let this idea fade away my friend! View quoted note →

Goddamit. Forget El Salvador. I only need to move to where the next 20 years is happening. View quoted note →

Literally triggered 15 seconds ago: “Oh FUCK ME…I need to learn about ‘Air Replies’ now???

I was playing Diablo 4 online with friends tonight, and had a thought: The thing about all large-geography role-playing games is that you always get to talk to the people in charge. This has always seemed very immersion-breaking for me. I mean, nobody gets to actually talk to the people who run our city, our state or our country (unless you’re vetted and you pay). BUT - history has taught me there was a time when the White House had an open door for whomever happened by (as late as the mid-1800’s), when Presidents and Senators et al would have to physically travel town-to-town to engage with citizens of all kinds, and sway their vote by doing so. “Glad-handing” and kissing babies and such. And yes, ‘duels’ could be declared by a peer against a peer, and a few times assassinations happened or went awry. Take all this how you will. What changed was the rise of the Corporation. With the rise of the corporation (on the back of Fiat money, very important to note) was the rise of Departmentalization, of ‘Vertical’ structure, the rise of the wealthy intentionally recognizing and creating ‘worlds within the world’ in which nobody else could engage with them. It’s as simple as hiring a Customer Service Dept to handle customer complaints. Or “First Class” cum “Private Jets”. Or “Vacation to Hawa’ii” became, idunno, where do the rich vacation now that you and I can’t go? And it’s become as exceedingly as complex as a Deep State that is beyond Democratic, or even elected-official oversight, and which is now a global Organized Crime ring. This ‘Virtualization’ - not the right word, but its what I have right now - this Virtualization of real human interaction underscores all of the problems we suffer right now in modern society. People who can gain power no longer have to engage with the plebs. People who can gain power no longer have to answer for their actions. They’ve established a real-world industry of Customer Service to separate them from having to have real lives, with real consequences. They now live in a world apart. And therefore, they see the rest of us, as a world apart from them. It wasn’t always this way, not but by a few generations. It was the rise of the Corporations on the back of Fiat money that rug-pulled our Leaders’ Humanity out from under them, and allowed the tiny number of actual Sociopath/Psychopaths that exist in human society to flood into the halls of Rulership. In the past, 1 maybe 2 Sociopath/Psychopaths could gain power, at great cost. Now, they seek refuge from their shame by flooding into the major Institutions of Central Planning across the globe.

If you want to be entertained and educated about China, you might want to begin with the following: https://www.youtube.com/@ChinaFactChasers https://www.youtube.com/@TheChinaShow There are others, but the reality is that if you don’t get information directly out of China by people who speak and read Chinese, you’re getting Propaganda. 100%. So these two references make it fun and interesting and entertaining to learn why Wall Street is bassackward and going to lose their fiat shirts because they’re too white for China!

China will be the rug-pull of Wall Street. As much as I want Nolan Bauerle to be right that Etherium is the rug-pull that brings down Wall Street… I think the end is simpler and more global. Almost nobody in global finance understands that they never knew anything about China, and that it’s collapsing. China had cheap labor, and nothing else. And that’s done now. That great sucking sound is Chinese investments going to zero.
