Broken? Hit your uncle in the head with a drumstick at Thanksgiving, then say “sorry the turkey is broken, we will get it fixed.” We have to sharpen our rhetoric with the truth. These abuses are effects of the systems function, not disfunction. Broken abandons the moral domain and plays into our enemy’s hand. https://youtu.be/eWwesp5QgbA

If someone starts talking about how the money is broken at Thanksgiving, hit them with the turkey leg and shout, “will someone please fix the turkey, it’s in need of repair!”

When people print money, they agress upon others, debasing their very lives. The ethical approach reveals the truth of these transgressions in the most direct and clear way possible. Let’s leverage that. Sacrafice the macro for the moral. #bitcoin #nostr #philosophy https://youtu.be/eWwesp5QgbA

Stop pretending those who print money aren’t here to enslave you, your children, and unborn grandchildren. Your values, your culture, everything you hold dear will be ash unless you actualize your entire being, draw the line, and say no. #bitcoin

I only got on social media to spread the ethical message in my book. Meet people where they are. My twitter and nostr have been steadily growing together, basically 1 follower on nostr for every 2 on twitter. makes sense cause half the followers on twitter are bots, right? but i mirror post everything, and these last couple weeks twitter has pulled ahead and the obvious bot follows are less numerous. And that just makes me look in the mirror and ask why? I don’t think it’s the algo, i think people on twitter are reposting more, and if that’s the case, it’s on us. We have to in order to cross populate and give new people in nostr the means to connect their valuable content with others.

*I’m an atomized individual, my truth is my own, I do me, and you do you, we are not connected by any relation, our actions do have any impact on the world, the state is an abstract concept* *We are a collective species, we are the truth, there is no you, only we, our actions are not any persons, collective action is all that shapes the world, there is only the state.” Reality is stuck in between two absurd extremes. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it’s mysterious. Yes, it requires judgment and we will get things wrong sometimes. But that’s being human.

The printer has no principled justification for its use. Fiat is a decree, a claim to power, of one man over another man. No number it spits out can justify printing money. Bitcoin gives us the ability to tune their decree out entirely.

“Broken Money” is great for what it is: macro. I’m not taking shots at nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a I just recognize what macro is in relation to the whole. It’s like analyzing the paint on a car. And it just isn’t that important when we need to focus on the driver, the engine, and where the car is going. If we want to win, if we want normal people to get what is happening to them, and what they can do about it, we have to sacrifice the macro for the moral. Ethics before Economics. Courage before Comfort. We are framing a house, put down the pliers, pick up the nail gun.

1) If bitcoin is going to hit zero, then all people in the world would have to fail to recognize what bitcoin is. 2) Some people do recognize what bitcoin is. 3) Therefore, modus tollens, Bitcoin is not going to hit zero.

If someone hits you with a hammer, is the hammer broken? nostr:nprofile1qqswmnfq2k830kvnylvyrezc97dsqce343qppqrwlgpqaux5qpuwdksprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfj9eax2cn9v3jk2tnrd3hh2eqdd3qlu nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqprfmhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcclqxhs nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgunnv968vcfwdejhgwadg4z Unfortunately the money isn’t broken. nostr:nprofile1qqs2u9uas33pemh9uerh5vefqlalt4trrxnqanc33vfn2v6mcx69hucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxwctnw3jkz7nf9ehx2aqjy8cfx and I had a great discussion explaining why the “broken” rhetoric costs us the most effective rhetorical tool at our disposal: the truth. I may be new to the fight, but I’m not wrong here. We can up our game. Please, I implore you to hear the argument out and chew on the principles. https://youtu.be/eWwesp5QgbA

To the Fed and US politicians: I can’t empathize with how it feels trying to override reality by decree because I’m not retarded. I can’t sympathize with how it feels trying to override reality by decree because I’m not evil.

Just create value in the world, work and build, put that value in bitcoin, and continue to crush life. How much bitcoin you have isn’t as important to the % of how much of a bitcoin standard you have moved your life to.

This is a great podcast. https://youtu.be/eWwesp5QgbA

the cart doesn’t drive the horse ethics drives all economic activity been that way for all of human history. Aristole got it. Macro is noise

You know what doesn’t rise and fall with the fiat price of #bitcoin ? Sovereignty. Cuck bucks aren’t the prize.

Unelected bureaucrats and politicians are hitting you with a hammer. There is no problem with the hammer. They aren’t missing the nail. You are the nail. Now i’m going to tell you the hammer is broken. because it palatable. That’s absurd. And exactly what we do when we say the “money is broken”
