I am really starting to understand it’s not so much that people are actually stupid, but that they have been so thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned that the form of callowness in which they exist overrides all forms of thought so that the very idea of taking courageous action is fundamentally impossible. It’s quite sad really.

Having worked at and invested in number of ‘bitcoin’ companies, the great problem you will always deal with is fiat people, fiat policies, and fiat politics. While this isn’t a problem when the company is small, it becomes more acute with growth for various reasons until it pretty much becomes unbearable. Then it becomes a fiat company that just happens to do bitcoin stuff, and usually sacrifices the real ethos and values that started the company in the first place. The only real solution is to build totally bitcoin-only (as in no touching fiat) ‘companies’—which there are very few, and as it becomes more successful, the harder it is to keep it that way. The good news is that soon there will be more of these ‘companies’ if we can really call them that. Over the next epoch, these will provide some of the greatest opportunities (and risks) to build extraordinary new products and services for the whole world and will truly be ‘bitcoin-only’ services that will likely be real pieces of infrastructure of the future internet. These will also provide the greatest investment opportunities ever, as they will be ‘forever’ and ‘everywhere’ companies.

I honestly feel bad for anyone that fucks with bitcoin and thereby bitcoiners. The amount of full powered autism that gets directed at those individuals will absolutely crush them.

GM Frens. Beautiful day to go touch the grass and remember that we are winning. Nothing will stop bitcoin or nostr, and these are gifts to humanity that we support and create together, and will use to turn the tide towards a kind of freedom that cannot be taken away. Enjoy the beauty of it all Frens.

Zaps allow for the distinction between liking what someone says and valuing it, and the distinction between those two.

Shitcoins are the original sin of Bitcoin.

Serves y’all right for counting on the government to not fuck a good thing up.

“Hi, we live down the street. Can your dogs come outside and play?” Uh, yeah sure, why not.

Attention retards: You will get one warning that you are retarded when commenting on my post, and the next time you will be muted if said retardation continues. Unmuting fees start at 10k sats, plus explicit apology for retarded thing said. You have been warned retards.

I can say whatever I fucking want to and no one can stop me, and anyone, anywhere in the world can read it unfiltered and unmediated by corporations, institutions, or governments. People really don’t understand that this is the first time in human history this is really possible and how big of a deal it really is. From this alone, another world becomes possible. One where the radical power of truth-speaking electrifies itself as the spark that initiates real thought and the possibilities that entails.

I’m sorry, but The Giving Tree is a shitty kids story.
