Developing the world's highest performance structural aerospace materials (and a couple other things) gave me a unique experience of the fiat world, which made me a bitcoin berserker. I must see the downfall of fiat so that the world may have a sound economic calculus under which the industrialist can proceed with his work unimpeded. @DeltaClimbs on twitter 1-arm-chinup nationalism

El Salvador will own (Schelling point) frontiers of medicine. @npub1xctp...gd44, Stacy, Jack Kruse, et al convincing me: America may need to take L here. Beyond affordably detoxifying seed oils, El Salvador could lead energy infrastructure tech. Here's why: There has been a recent series of shifts in materials and manufacturing capabilities that have not yet been implemented at scale anywhere in the world and El Salvador is well positioned to be the first mover. Supercritical CO2 instead of steam coupled with certain turbomachinery capabilities that will lower capex by more than an order of magnitude will not just unbound the growth potential for El Salvador and the rest of central America, it will lay the foundations for a new era of nuclear fission, as the generator side capex is a key component of costs. Nations around the world have been under the thumb of external tyranny suppressing energy development for too long. And, @jack this will matter to you: ESCAPING ENERGY POVERTY is the only way to scale optionality and make freedom truly meaningful to every human -- bitcoin alone is not enough. It is easy to imagine a world fully bitcoinized, fully nuclearized, and now we have a first few steps to take. It is time to begin the fixing of everything, and I have a play: there is of course a HUGE opportunity cost to doing anything in the world at the moment, which is why I have a strategy that leverages the US military industrial complex, and demands for physical sovereignty that are becoming an increasingly imminent concern for many regions in the world, to greatly lessen that burden. Yes, bitcoin mining too, but there is so much more that is possible. El Salvador has 1 megawatt-hr/capita/yr. This is what poverty means. The US is at 11. This is in fact also poverty if one considers what could have been. Singapore at the end of 1995 was ~6.15, so, @nayibbukele, @JuicefBukele, to be El Salvador's version of the next Singapore, whatever that may be, more energy is needed. I was thinking 2.1 at first as a target, but let's be more ambitious: if @americanhodl8 was able to meme thousands of people into reaching 6.15 bitcoin, I think Central America can reach 6.15 MWh/capita. Current Numbers: Nicaragua 0.7 Honduras 0.8 El Salvador 1.0 Ecuador 1.5 Costa Rica 2.1 Panama 2.2 It is time for energy sovereignty. It is time to ignite the engines of wealth and prosperity across the world. It is time to trounce the affinity scammer fiat-anointed professional managerial anti-technologist technologist-LARPer, this broader class of shitcoiners who now wish to ingratiate themselves and their parasitic ways into the world through insincerely claiming that they too aspire to see these things. It is time to wage a mimetic holy war, a purely mimetic war, to re-establish the foundational human values of liberty and that of striving for optimization of the world around us, which shall only proceed most expediently after fiat dies, but there is too much to do, and there is another factor at play -- it is time to accelerate the mimetic momentum of life itself, which is functionally the objective of bitcoin. The mimetic war of bitcoin itself was won the day it was unleashed upon the world (or arguably upon the initial formation of life), and the bitcoin "want" to ultimately flow to those whose memes and ideals promote human flourishing. For adaptation to take hold, a stimulus must resonate, and it is only through hitting supersonic criticality that gases continue accelerating through a de Laval nozzle. Now that this is all within reach, a new calculus emerges in the realization that some resonant frequencies have been found, and with a few well-placed impulses, we may live to witness the beginning, an Age of Light. All that is needed is the sincere desire to see it take place. - sent from amidst the volcanos of El Salvador image

Are any of my followers here into mining? May have an interesting opportunity due to my background in aerospace & materials with an interesting gen technology that no one else has.

Seeing disgusting content on Twitter from charlatans really shows just how important Nostr is. A lot of info will get wiped and Dark City'd. People will play into false narratives and affinity scam since there will be no chain of costly signaling. I wrote before about the idea of relational contracting on Nostr within very narrowly defined sorts of business relationships, and even there, I couldn't fully grapple with the mechanics of how it would work. What will be more interesting however is to see cryptographic proof of what a pubkey has been thinking or at least claiming to think for a decade. Nostr may end up being just as critical to rooting out fraud in the world as bitcoin. Imagine a world in which no one alive has ever posted anything not on Nostr. The people who think Nostr has fallen off in importance are fools who do not realize monetary transactions take place via contracts, that contract scalability is tied to relationships, and failure to have tools that sufficiently scale relationships to capture the total economic capacity in equilibrium is how the state weasels its way into existence i.e. Nostr is what outcompetes and supplants statism.

@jack will you be making it out to the Age of Light event in a couple months? Seems I may have the opportunity to speak there.

You should see Jeff Booth's VC profile. He literally calls himself a visionary under his bio and he named his firm "EgoDeath Capital". Can't make this shit up. Expect a lot more people trying to call themselves geniuses for being 2020s bitcoiners. 🤦‍♂️🤡

Oh you thought El Salvador was based? This is Javier Milei proclaiming "leftist sons of bitches, liberty advances, long live freedom, motherfucker". He is not a fringe candidate. He is the favorite to win Argentina's presidency this November, with >70% on Election Betting Odds.

Shortly before my Twitter account was obliterated by a fiat egomaniac, I wrote a thread laying out my predictions for how a bitcoin ETF could underpin a fiat 2.0 that purports to be atop (fractionally reserved) bitcoin. Here is the 12 part synopsis: 1. Operation Chokepoint 2.0 made Utah ILCs and other banks of the style that underpin lending startups unwilling to touch "crypto". 2. Before that, it would have been plausible to start a business that originates fiat loans for the purchase of bitcoin (sort of a layaway/mortgage style). 3. If the bitcoin were held in a 2-of-2 deadlocked arrangement between customer and lending company, it ensures company cannot rehypothecate, and ensures the loan is at least eventually paid off. 4. It is a great business, and as the calculator on https://faucet21.com shows, it allows people to end up with a lot more bitcoin. 5. As companies like Swan, Unchained, Strike, and River with mediocre business models chase greater revenue for investors, those companies and others will build lending tools like this, but for a bitcoin ETF rather than bitcoin. 6. In this way, they can gain 10x higher fees on 10x the investment capital (note, this is effectively the money printer getting connected directly into bitcoin purchasing) all the while triggering NGU. I anticipate the ETF will actually be 1:1 for a long time because there is an end game. 7. It will become the standard for noobs to get in this way and the bitcoin price will rise into the millions -- most influencers, podcasts, and conferences will dismiss the problems due to NGU. 8. Then when the bitcoin ETF rivals the pension or housing bubbles, perhaps even just low tens of trillions, the 6102 will be announced, and the ETF will turn into fiat 2.0. 9. There will be a conversion window turning all fiat 1.0 into fiat 2.0 (maybe all tied to a central federal reserve account that individuals have access to), so there is your first large chunk of devaluation. 10. There will be top down attempts to force all contracts to be denominated in fiat 2.0 -- large companies will pay salaries in it, BlackRock will rent houses in it, and fiat cash will be eliminated for total surveillance. 11. If it does not fall within days to weeks, fiat 2.0 will fail shortly thereafter as it trades at a significant discount on the international markets due to its market estimated amount of underlying bitcoin combined with huge counterparty risk and lack of auditability. 12. Nations that minimize the violence and theft they carry out in this tumultuous time may emerge as new global Schelling points and private companies will step in to further stabilize these regions by providing voluntary rule of law and insurance services. Many will be rekt, bitcoin will be fine Tick tock, next block

Anyone have an idea of what will bring more users to Nostr? Based on NostrBand Stats, the real users have been about 8k for past 6 months or so. Totally sideways.

Dry machining tile without a mask is a really bad idea. Imma start telling people walking around with masks outside they're killing low income workers by making masks harder to access. 😂 image
