to those with Saylor Derangement Syndrome:
what some inflooincer thinks bitcoin is, or isn't, doesn't matter...
Bitcoin exists.
Nuclear weapons exist.
Whether you think nuclear weapons are immoral or evil does not matter in the least; you either:
A) have nukes
B) vassal state of a nuclear power
C) pariah state with daily blackouts and occasional aerial bombardment
All you have to do is have bitcoin, and you have nukes.
If Strategy, ETFs, or government can hurt bitcoin, it wasn't anti-fragile enough
Nature needs destruction in order to evolve.
Wildfires to clear out diseased forests, volcanic eruptions renew the soil,
Chemotherapy kills the cancer, antibiotics killl the infection, and nicotine or ivermectin kill the parasites. We suffer the poison, knowing the parasites can't survive a tenth of it.
Sometimes, you need to poison the trough to kill the rats.
pup is 11 wks now, "sit, stay, come" commands are coming along well, (hand signals only for now, but I am starting to introduce voice command for sit) whistle commands once voice is learned
my takeaway: build a network of remnant, Galt's Gulch in meatspace and cyberspace, and ignore the 90% who can never be unplugged from the matrix -- they can survive, but only if the remnant prevents the parasites from destroying the host
