*Many Bitcoiners often say: "We have the best tech, it's permissionless" and I have to agree, the tech is brilliant. However, is the tech good enough to compensate for the deficiency in the psychology of the user base? And when you cut the ideology, the answer here is no. Technology can't solve human preference for safety + ease* View quoted note →

👀 *Bluetooth runs on very low power, way too weak to cook anything. What the researchers point to instead are non-thermal effects. Oxidative stress, disruptions in cell signalling & long term stress on the thyroid’s delicate tissue Official safety limits for wireless devices only consider heating but this study shows there are biological effects happening at much lower levels* View quoted note →

*government is a battlefield of factions, factions that spare no expense to form battle plans…. Battlefield. Not as clearly demarcated as NSA vs CIA or party vs party, either faction has assets deployed among the other. If the apparatus was aligned against Trump he'd never have made it into office, he has to be protected by a faction within it.*

Theory that stablecoin issuance is an attempt to wipe out US debt \ stacker news ~econ

I've been hearing chatter about this for the last few months ever since the Circle IPO: the theory being that the US mainly wants stablecoin issuer...

*Dollars are debt, banks hold debt and issue dollars against it. The banks have leverage limits and market limits set by globalists to protect their other franchises in other countries. Along with allowing banks higher leverage, and exporting dollars via stables, more of that debt can be monetized into dollars... Dollars that can buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin then soaks up the excess dollars in the economy such that they don't inflate things like housing and energy. This slowly turns the dollars from from a liability to an asset and saves the US from the Triffin Dilemma. This is why the national security apparatus created Bitcoin, a transparent battery for dollars and global trade that can insulate the US during a transition away from globalist monetary policy*

*Even if… Powell continues to obstruct Trump’s monetary agenda by refusing to cut Fed Funds, end quantitative tightening, and restart quantitative easing, Bessent could offer T-bills at a lower rate than Fed Funds. He could do this because the stablecoin issuer must buy whatever he is selling at the yield offered if they are to earn a profit. In a few moves, Bessent gains control of the front end of the yield curve*

*For Buffalo Bill Bessent, the problem with the Eurodollar system is twofold. The first issue is that he is clueless about how many Eurodollars exist and what they finance. The second issue, which is the most important, is that these Eurodollar deposits are not being used to buy his dogshit treasury debt securities*
