1. Power through Social Restructuring When societies are "liberalized," meaning when traditional structures, nations, religions, or family models are softened, a fragmented, more easily controllable society emerges. An open society does not automatically mean a sovereign one – it is also more vulnerable to economic and political influence from outside.

I think Nostr activity will corellate with the Bitcoin price and adoption.

The name for a post on this app/protocol should be nostl. And @jack makes pretty good nostls.

I want @jack to follow me so badly. 🥲

Withdraw your Bitcoin from exchanges into self-custody.

In economics you learn that monopolies are bad. But somehow you have to think that a monopoly on money is a good thing...?

Love you guys

If you wanna sleep deep and undisturbed in times of trade wars and tariffs, I recommend Bitcoin.

Even the biased ChatGPT is a COVID sceptic. There is no solid scientific evidence that COVID-19 or vaccination causes "turbo cancer," but some hypotheses and observations have been discussed by critics and certain scientists. 1. Immune System and Cancer Growth COVID-19 can weaken the immune system: Severe infections or Long COVID can lead to immune dysregulation. A weakened immune system might be less effective at controlling pre-existing cancer cells, allowing tumors to grow faster. Similar effects from mRNA vaccines? Some studies suggest that vaccination may cause temporary immune modulation. Critics speculate that this could potentially affect people with pre-existing, undiagnosed cancers. 2. Spike Protein and Cellular Changes Some hypotheses suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (whether from infection or mRNA vaccines) could affect cellular mechanisms. Preliminary studies have explored whether the spike protein might interact with DNA repair pathways, theoretically increasing cancer risk. However, these ideas remain controversial and unproven in large clinical studies. 3. Increase in Aggressive Cancers? Some doctors have reported more aggressive cancers appearing after COVID or vaccination. However, there is no strong statistical evidence distinguishing this from normal fluctuations or delays in cancer diagnoses due to the pandemic. Conclusion There are theoretical concerns about how COVID-19 or vaccination might impact cancer progression, but no conclusive evidence. Most experts believe that "turbo cancer" is likely a misinterpretation, possibly due to delayed diagnoses during the pandemic. If you're interested, I can look up the latest studies on this topic.

Bitcoin is all about people wanting to not take risk.

Every Nostr user should do a 30 day streak contest and post here stuff they are really into

Bitcoin is as affected by trade wars as the internet itself... #Bitcoin #BTC

The dumbest individuals are those who sell Bitcoin with the argument that it's too risky for them to hold it in uncertain times like during trade wars. Dude, Russia and other sanctioned countries use it to pay for oil and gas trades. Bitcoin is technically totally unaffected from macro news. It only a matter of time until they all find out.

Good article. The CFPB is not for protecting customers but instead for protecting banks. BPPF
