The best part of #bitcoin is knowing that there will only ever be 21 million of them. This is so significant as to border on the incomprehensible. When you pair this with a DCA strategy, (and a visceral hatred of our fiat overlords) you gain absolute peace of mind.

Travel is such a necessary thing. The further you venture, the more you become convinced that humans everywhere are pretty much the same. The differences are artificial. And they’re carefully crafted to keep us distracted and fighting amongst ourselves while we are robbed by those who enslave us. Resist this. The differences within groups will always be greater than the differences between them. The true enemy is almost always the one pointing fingers at some poor person 2000 miles away.

If you buy #Bitcoin looking to sell it later for more fiat, you are falling for a ponzi scheme. Stay away, go buy apple stock or a shitcoin instead. Like blackrock, you are still stuck in the Fiat mindset and you don’t understand bitcoin’s true value. If you buy #bitcoin looking to escape the fiat system, you get it. You rejoice at fiat price drops. Owning Bitcoin is your goal, and how much of it you have defines your wealth. You would never trade Bitcoin for fiat as doing so seems completely and utterly idiotic and counterproductive.

@jb55 and @fiatjaf Why not do away with likes entirely? Only #zap is nice but why even have the like option at all? Only legitimizes the other bullshit app model by replicating it in #nostr if you ask me. #zaps are just so much better. We don’t need likes, it’s just the fake shitcoin version of a #zap.

Dangerous opinion: good marriages are “boring”. I put boring in quotes because this is the way bad marriages are typically portrayed in the media. Ie: one spouse loses that “spark” which causes the audience to pity their partner and applaud when a hot and exciting alternative appears that gives them the attention he/she “deserves”. What bullshit. I understand that a marriage marked by predictability and reliability won’t sell many romance novels but holy shit, if that ain’t one of the most valuable things on earth, I don’t know what else would be. I believe marriage or human partnership (whatever you want to call it) succeeds when both people can count on the other to mostly take care of themselves but help each other out when needed. Instead of being grounds for concern, being able to take each other for granted from time to time is some of the best ingredient for a successful marriage. As long as it’s not always one sided, we should cherish, recognize, and celebrate that kind of thing far more often. Again, I suspect the reason why we aren’t exposed to this kind of thinking is that it does nothing to make others money if we can find contentment even in the sweet banality of our mature relationships. Better to keep people striving for unattainable and unrealistic ideals. That’s where the profit lies. Screw that. Give me some of that sweet predictability any day. #grownostr #thinkdangerously #getoffended

How to recognize extremists: 1. They are incapable of/prohibited from questioning their beliefs 2. They will have a significant persecution complex 3. They will view non-members of their group as homogeneous and attempt to dehumanize them 4. They will attempt to tie extremist views to other common sense views such that common sense views become tainted by association over time 5. Will tie 1-4 together into a shared mythology Be careful out there everyone. When it comes to #bitcoin especially, don’t become the very thing we are trying to defeat. Always keep an open mind, practice kindness and forgiveness, and leave significant room in your own beliefs for error. It’s good to defend and even promote your opinions, but bad if you expect others to always agree with you. #grownostr

Here’s a simple test to determine if a “crypto” is a scam. Do you want the Fiat price of it to go up or down? Now be honest. Lots of you want the Fiat price of #bitcoin to go up. If this is true, you want fiat wealth more than Bitcoin and you should run, because for you, bitcoin is a scam. People like me though, want all the people looking to make fiat gains from bitcoin (like blackrock) to simply disappear. We buy Bitcoin because we want bitcoin, NOT fiat. We hope that the Fiat price drops because that means the fiat seeking scammers are getting shaken out. We don’t see the Fiat value of our wealth go down, we only see the Bitcoin value of our wealth go up. The wealth that I seek from Bitcoin is self-sovereignty and freedom from the exploitation and corruption of the fiat debt slavery cartel. And I am very wealthy indeed.

Dangerous opinion: Parenting is a form of taxation. Spend 18+ years of your life working your ass off for free to raise kids, just so that the kids themselves can become the next productive slaves for our masters. And so the cycle goes. Sorry if this hits a nerve with many but always happy to discuss. #grownostr #childfree #taxationistheft #thinkdangerously

Don’t you think it’s funny that we are culturally averse to talking about things like religion, politics, having children, etc? If your beliefs are so fragile that you can’t talk to others with an opposing point of view, doesn’t that scare you? I will happily discuss my views on being #childfree, #religion, #bitcoin, and #politics. I want to stress test the shit out of my core opinions about life and other stuff that matters, not hide in a corner with only others who agree with me. That’s little bitch thinking. I would love to change my mind about anything I believe that turns out to have a better option.
