We’re in a time where heroes and models are being sacrificed. Rosa Parks was an influencer, Anne Franke’s uncle wrote most of her journal. Helen Keller may have been the OG Greta Thunberg. A hand-puppet for a Harvard-educated socialist narrative. Never trust anyone the media promotes.

My favorite most recommendy podcast interview this week is @walker on WalkerAmerica interviewing Isabel Foxen-Duke on quantum computing, bitcoin, and how the two can live happily together. I found this fascinating all the way through, and I’d thought I’d lost interest in the quantum computing fud over the past few years… https://rumble.com/v767ulk-happening-now-walker-america-live.html?start=7633

I saw this recently, saved it, and cannot do justice to the OP.

Unpopular Nostr Opinion: I’m old enough to remember that when rich folk start losing money the Fed always, ALWAYS steps in to make them rich again - overnight. After they bagged their game…which they telegraphed beforehand. I suspect only a handful of people I know are spotting the telegraph, so I’m not confident about anything rn. But currencies, bonds, and sound money are all spinning so very fucking askew that whatever the target is it’s serious and the globe is going to pay for it when they execute it. When the blood they seek is in their hands…the refunding will be Spectacular. Game-changing. But Do not try to second-guess this, Bitcoiner. Because this is not simply a falling knife. We know nothing about the game being played. Now - IMHO - is the time to go underground, like the proverbial shrew before the asteroid. Now is the time when stay Humble matters most. Now - again, my stupid-ass Internet rando opinion - is when you need to prepare for Fourth Turning, full Prepper, hodl your family close, learn and love to make beans and bread and rice, abandon the cities and find a rural lifeboat, et al. Because the global, primal signals that have been ignored, then laughed at, then fought, are crazy clear about to win. And we may be wrong again, no doubt. But you won’t miss out, so don’t try to catch the bottom of a falling knife. I, personally, am going underground. Keeping mine what is mine. This is bigger than a COVID event. PEOPLE are an expendable resource to those who exist for Fiat money. No, this is a Fiat money epidemic.

Signothermal Spectralwallet photography of Max Keiser’s “OG” Pre-History bags shows they’ve been massively depleted at the sub-$100k stratum. Osiris is the only limit now for Bitcoin.

In Real Life (irl, lol) the idea of the NPC is those people who can only react to influences and inputs according to the programming they’ve received from without. People who can’t parse signal from noise, truth from propaganda. To me it clearly has nothing to do with the mind, and it’s “intelligence”, and I’ve always seen it as something more fundamental. What is it that creates an inner “ballast” for some, a pull or need for inner discernment in things? A call to seek truth, however relative? I used to believe it rested in a positive attitude toward work and suffering. But my experiences in this 4th Turning have led me to question whether it’s something deeper…?

I got my fiancee a new, cheap, clean laptop for setting her up with Bitcoin. With Win 11, Microsoft is hard-forcing machines to setup a Microsoft Account. I duckduckgo’d how to get around that, and some of the easier (command line) ways seem to have been shut down by MS already. My signal in saying this: The methods still being touted involve knowing this ahead of time and not establishing an internet connection at all before bypassing. MS wants the computer you bought to only be an authorized terminal on their mainframe network. CBDC anyone?

The Dollar has been declining vs Yuan. And American citizen’s buying power has been declining vs. the Dollar. This is one of many things Bitcoin fixes. This is one of many maps of Shitcoining, writ large. The shitcoin of the era will always and inevitably decline vs the shitcoin of the next animal spirits. Absent anything to ballast. With Bitcoin, the world everyone human has ever known is changing.

I can wrap my head around the idea of death. And I can find solace in the idea of being dead. What I can’t even begin to engage with is that there will be a moment in between.
