“The basic problem is not the administrative state or the politicians’ whimsical state, it is the powerful state. Worship of elected officials is as bad as the administrative state. These general results do not depend on the ideological shade of the party in power nor on the country considered.”

Bitcoin opened the door to the widest perspective change of my life. From Bitcoin to classic liberalism, to Rothbard, Mises, and Hoppe, to the great classics of history and literature, to the depths of the mind with Freud and Jung. It’s lead me a healthier diet, stronger body, and resilient mind. I’m better now than I’ve ever been, and the future is fucking bright and ORANGE.

It’s really amazing the rate at which home miners are developing. A few months ago the best one could do was 350 G/h at a cost of a couple hundred USD, and now we are pushing the envelope to 4 T/h at a very similar cost. Quiet, little heat. This is a great move towards decentralization. While clearly it’s still very early, something of this nature in every home is a pipe dream I am willing to smoke. #StaySovereign #bitcoin #BTC #BitcoinOnly #economics #austrians #finance #mining #news #lightning #nostr #liberty #pleb #NothingButLead #plebchain #Mises #Menger #history #Rothbard #Hoppe #sovereignOne #ProofOfWork

My personal mantra towards politics and the general State apparatus of power has become one of personal secession, i.e. I comply with what I must absolutely comply with to avoid unnecessary interactions with the powers that be, but avoid all else implicitly. However, at certain times I feel the preternatural pull to belong to something greater than myself, which if certain aspects of my life had not come to blossom, would be the pull back to the all encompassing State. And this is one of the most understated power aspects of Bitcoin in my eyes. I can belong to one of the most powerful movements on Earth, yet remain an anonymous and decentralized individual and yet still maintain a powerful sense of belonging to something greater than myself, while protecting my sense of sovereignty. Every sat stacked is a shot fired for the network. Every node and every channel is vote for a better tomorrow, and a chisel blow to the cornerstone of the behemoth that brought us all to these tumultuous times. All I have to do is work, stack, and live, and love. It’s amazing. Happy Monday. #StaySovereign #bitcoin #BTC #BitcoinOnly #economics #austrians #finance #mining #news #lightning #nostr #liberty #pleb #NothingButLead #plebchain #Mises #Menger #history #Rothbard #Hoppe #sovereignOne #ProofOfWork

Will the world just bend over and assume the position once more? "Human infections with this novel influenza virus (and others) are concerning because of the potential to cause severe disease. The other reason these types of human infections are concerning is because of their pandemic potential. If these viruses were to change to spread easily from person-to-person, it could trigger a pandemic."
