Not NGU, CGD. Thought experiment in Cost Go Down technology… If you could buy a small marble that made all of your prices go down 0.1% every year: 1. How many of these marbles would you buy? 10? 100? 1,000? 2. You could easily store these marbles securely in your home. Would you do that, or have someone else store them for you? 3. What if losing these marbles made all your prices go back to where they were before you bought the marbles + an additional 5% a year, and you would never be able to replace the same quantity of marbles? Who would you trust with these marbles? 4. Would you be enticed to let someone else hold your marbles because they promised you interest on your marbles? Bitcoin is cost go down technology. Stay humble and stack sats. If you screw this up, the pain may be so great that people will think you’ve lost your marbles…. This comment inspired by recent podcast of @Robert Breedlove & @paul keating . And of course OG @Jeff Booth .

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. - Charles Krauthammer

From AJ Brown at Ole Miss graduation. “"Here's the real game. You are your own operation. Your discipline is your product, your name is your brand. Your habits are your investments. Nobody's coming to build it for you. And nobody's coming to rescue you when it gets hard. Success isn't owned. It's rented. And rent is due every single day."

“Shut up and passenger!!” Isn’t as catchy as “shut up and drive!”, but it’s way more useful.

It was a simpler time. The worry was that the price of tickets on California’s new high speed rail might be too high. News from the future - don’t worry about ticket t prices! image

“They confront one another all the more implacably because their conflict dissolves the real differences that formerly separated them. Envy, jealousy, and hate render alike those they possess, but in our world people tend to misunderstand or ignore the resemblances and identities that these passions generate. They have ears only for the deceptive celebration of differences, which rages more than ever in our societies, not because real differences are increasing but because they are disappearing.” - I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, Rene Girard

Listening to @Jeff Booth on recent What is Money podcast, Breedlove discusses Bitcoin as a possible “atonement” vehicle for humanity. At one ment is an interesting concept here. Isn’t it loosely synonymous also with “singularity”? Is bitcoin the path to a/the singularity? Would be interested in any material that has been produced on this topic.
