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

Peter Thiel believes deeply in the State and Government He believes States can "fix things," if only his people are in control He doesn't understand Bitcoin. He doesn't understand or appreciate technology. He knows saying the phrase "I love freedom & technology" is popular. image

BITCOIN IS NOT MONEY BITCOIN IS NOT PROPERTY BITCOIN IS NOT A COMMODITY, CURRENCY, SAVINGS, OR AN ASSET BITCOIN CONFERS NO RIGHTS Bitcoin is a software messaging protocol. MESSAGES. Bitcoin enables free speech and association without interdiction. Interfering with speech or association is not just unconstitutional, it is the foundation of tyranny anywhere, and enacted only by criminal, violent assault. It must also be understood of course that all taxation interferes with the natural rights of persons to freely associate. There are no "bitcoins", bitcoin cannot be "owned", and the notion of "title" to bitcoin is an abstraction under the reality that bitcoin will recognize and not reverse valid transactions signed under duress or downstream of criminal trespass. There is no such thing as "title" to "bitcoins" because it is fungible cash, you cannot correctly say "these coins" vs "those coins". This is not something to convince any authority of for there is no valid authority that may govern speech or association. Of course, people may be fooled into acting dead and impotent, like a trapped animal oblivious to the fact his cage was never locked. Every time someone talks about regulation and government, they are supporting the government, supporting its frame as a valid owner of all humans. This is the peak of high time preference behavior, a total moral capitulation and submission. And it is only possible first by promoting LIES about what bitcoin is, for if you state the truth, it is too obvious that all the regulatory ideas are invalid and unlawful. Bitcoin is software, it exists, it does not grant rights. If you burn a piece of wood and survive the night from the heat, it does not make warmth a right being given to you. You are USING the wood and it has certain behavior. It is anthropomorphization where the person being fictitiously constructed is none other than daddy government. But you are alone with the laws of physics, and other people trying to lie to you about the nature of the world. Bitcoin is first and foremost Freedom of Association tech. If you tell someone it's XYZ money thing, you guarantee someone else has set the mimetic framework / terrain. If you start with association, it may spur a person to consider association mechanisms and attack vectors.

Nostr might be able to fix this. Some of you may recall, I posted a number of times my ideas around how relational contracting would enable distributed ridesharing and other markets without needing escrow. image

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. 🤦‍♂️🤡
