If you zoom out far enough you see the dollar end is near. The US is reacting like a cornered animal. The rest of the world furiously tries to expedite the process and hope they will be the next reserve currency. However the battle has already been fought. 17 years ago. #bitcoin

#primal keeps crashing once opened since I updated to new version.

Do we need the like button at all on #nostr? It’s an inflationary feature tbh. Doesn’t cost you anything….you can just likeaway allday. A #zap on the other hand is a profound sign of gratitude and recognition.

The state is not going to rollover and die. It will continue to use the known toolbox to finance itself. One tool is to capture or seize ressources and assets. It’s regularly been done via “soft”, indirect power as China, France or most do. Venezuela was a sitting duck for the US and that’s why they went for the “hard” option.

Fiat money is a trick to control time and resources.

If you look at #bitcoin from a mathematical or technical perspective and have an aversion to BS then you should try flying. Yes as in piloting an airplane. There is no BSing your way through it. You can’t stop or cut any corners because reality comes at you really fast. You will be confronted with your ego and have to deal with it. No amount of talk will take you from takeoff to landing, only actions. And to get proficient at that you’ll need to provide PoW. It’s a rewarding activity. "There are old pilots and bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots.”

Bastiat’s grandson wishes you a happy new year! I’m just your regular pleb that doesn’t have a podcast and works a fiat job but is bullish AF on #bitcoin because of the community. There’s someone like me in every country. You’re not doing this alone.
