Why do shitcoins exist? In its origin it was to focus on specific niche trade offs. Speed of transaction and privacy were the most important. And of course it was used for large scale pump and dumps. We now enter the last time that there was a niche use case on a L1. Every technology necessary to become global money has now been developed on bitcoin. It’s now a matter of scaling and reaching the masses. The issue: grifters, diversifiers, tradfi, central banks, large global corporations intertwined with government, rich Ponzi adjacent “investors”, regular government adjacent workers (>50% of most western countries), mainstream media etc. So it will be slow, we will still have major swings. When markets become rational, they take secure control of their bitcoin. That’s the moment supply is thin and major swings start to occur. Bitcoin still has to go through a real phase of adoption. It’s very questionable if that point with the common man will be in the next year/years. Something major has to change. In my opinion this is the split of bitcoin and crypto. It has to happen. If it doesn’t we all lose freedom through overregulation. If your goal is to make more bitcoin trading shitcoins, think about the long term effect. If it damages people & bitcoin think twice. This is our last opportunity to facilitate freedom and savings for mankind.

This is where my wife and I grew up, where we used to live & work with the farmers for many years. Last year we decided to leave, it was a plethora of reasons. Seeing this in our (ex)local newspaper today is shocking: “Farmer is not allowed to milk his cows in the night anymore”

Time to say goodbye to ING bank. It was my last Dutch bank account. They don’t allow use of VPN to login to your bank account. Both the app and the website block VPNs.

I’m becoming an expert in fixing clothespins

Today I talked a while with an owner of an antique shop. There’s almost zero interest in decent antique furniture. Massive oak remains unsold, while it lasts hundreds of years. People are buying as cheap as possible. He is shifting more and more towards small “antique” bracelets, rings and other junk that they usually just receive for free when they clear houses. This couple of euros junk just sells. He also had a couple pairs of shoes of old brands, they last a lifetime, they are basically new but “old fashioned”. I asked him how old he thought my shoes were. Couple years he answered but still looking good, easily fixable, old fashioned way. Told him, 3 new soles, 1 new inner work. 21 years old. Wore them couple of times each month… He said the best pairs should last 40 years wearing them weekly. You can still find a few manufacturers in Europe… Low time preference shifting to high preference in the antique market was not something I was expecting to see. Fun part, the fridge he had reminded me of nostr:nprofile1qqsy8w40ps5wdna3jkchacyrux0t8f90m7k9fkdkhtchqfcw6xf7xnqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmrwfjkzarj9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5da7tvd 😂
