The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The LA Times are going to go bust eventually. Decentralized media will bury them. Boomers and leftists will mourn and the rest of us will rejoice. The best journalists in the world will join us here on #Nostr. And we will get to the bottom of things because the incentives here are lined up to do so.

All we are saying is that we want to be able to send magic internet money, peer-to-peer, without the permission of the government or the banks. And without them taking a pound of flesh in the process. Don't feel like that is asking too much! #Bitcoin

The US Government debt and unfunded liabilities are the perfect encapsulation of what our government is. Worthless. Not only worthless, but a net negative. Harmful. Destructive. Anti-human. This level of spending and debt puts a heavy burden on each and every US citizen. And for what? Endless wars, lies, deceit, and degeneracy. An Empire of Nothing. We are spending ourselves to death. Who will have the courage in this country to stop the madness? Or is it too late at this point?

It doesn't matter whether you have 1 million BTC or 1 million SATS, you are not financially independent unless you control the keys to move the coins. That's what we're going for here. True financial freedom. The ability to own a bearer asset without having to trust a third party custodian. The ability to own something, anything, without someone else being able to take it away from you. Shout out to the plebs who control their own keys. You're the real MVP. #Bitcoin

Enemy #1 - The Federal Reserve Enemy #2 - The US Federal Government This is why we stay humble and stack sats. We are standing up to these evil, corrupt institutions. We're fighting for a better life and a better world. #Bitcoin

The best idea I have discovered as to why we are here on Earth is that we are here to find the love in our hearts and share it with whoever we come into contact with.

Do you think that these central bankers realize yet that we will literally die on this hill? We will put our lives on the line to destroy fiat central banking forever. This is an existential battle, and we are going to win. #Bitcoin

This ECB paper is amazing. Now we know that they know that they're fucked. #Bitcoin

If AI is such a threat to humanity as we know it, why are we spending tens of billions of dollars to embed it into everything? Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. "Intelligence without wisdom is extremely dangerous."

People around the world are waking up to the fact that their national government hates their guts and is trying to rob them blind before they kill them. Governments around the world (save for El Salvador and maybe Argentina) are failing miserably. Thus, we see them flailing about like chickens with their heads cut off. This is a central government's natural response when it is on a fiat standard. And we are in the late stages of complete and utter collapse of fiat currencies. They want their citizens to be afraid so they don't act. So they don't fight back. I believe we are in for some serious fireworks in Q4 2024 and throughout all of 2025. As they say, "desperate times call for desperate measures." The statists are really desperate right now. #Bitcoin

I feel that once you recognize that you have a piece of the divine inside of yourself, and everyone around you has that same divine spark inside of them, you live differently.
