First stop using WhatsApp then use Bitcoin. If you use Bitcoin but keep using social networks, consuming TV, and products like WhatsApp, you are wasting your time and letting the enemy win the war very easily. View quoted note →

As I read the article, I see that it overlooks a lot of things. Neither Spark nor Ark are L2s, and ultimately Spark and Ark act as a non-blind coordinator, so they know everything about you View quoted note →

UFOs and viruses are very useful for distracting people while: - Thousands of men, women, and children die every day because of wars carried out by men in ties with orange skin from the comfort of their couch. - We are living through one of the decades with the highest inflation of the last 120 years, the working middle class has disappeared, only the rich and the poor remain. - Freedoms are being cut back day by day. - A new mass surveillance system greater than PRISM is in operation, only this time it is not just surveillance, it is also social control. But hey, meanwhile we entertain people with fake flying saucers and fake pandemics. View quoted note →

A satellite can take a picture of the hairs on your bald spot, but UFO videos have a resolution of 1 pixel by 1 pixel.

Something very interesting that I and others have noticed: it no longer matters how high the 30-year bond yield is; what matters is reducing volatility. YVC “yield volatility control.” It’s becoming increasingly difficult to see where liquidity is coming from. It feels like a game of cat and mouse — when the masses figure out the formula, they change the system. image

I have decided to come back, but with the condition I set for myself of being constructive. Given that the world gets worse every day, I think certain guidelines are needed to survive in this hell. That said: it’s a bad idea to introduce people to Bitcoin by convincing them it will make them money. That may or may not be true for long periods of time or even decades. You should be in Bitcoin because: - Not allowing a rigged game where you work to earn money while others simply press a button and obtain counterfeit money. - Not allowing any entity to confiscate your money automatically. - Not financing things you don’t want through the deception of fiat money, such as wars and other perversities. - Not letting anyone decide or prohibit what you want to do with your money. Unforgeable, unconfiscatable, and uncensorable. But just like with open-source operating systems, the average Bitcoiner will face more friction and more difficulties, all in the name of Freedom. This is the message that needs to be sold, and not everyone is prepared to hear it, much less live by it.

Why does power corrupt? This applies to every aspect of life, from someone who is a boss with subordinates to neighborhood associations, NGOs, politicians, organizations, and so on. All power eventually leads to corruption; it’s inevitable, and the great John McAfee explains it perfectly. And if you accept this, you accept that living in society sucks and that the Unabomber was right.

It is the complete opposite case from Satoshi. While I think it is pretty obvious who Satoshi is, there really is no proof to state it categorically. On the other hand, the Samourai guys had a legal company and their names were linked to that company; I myself exposed their names here when they were selling fake privacy. They were not the sharpest pencils in the box. And now we all have to pay for their irresponsibility? View quoted note →

What nobody tells you about Samourai Samourai were some guys who wanted to make money, but in a fraudulent way, and by fraudulent I mean selling a product that was completely defective and offered no privacy from the coordinator’s point of view — in other words, it wasn’t zerolink. They weren’t even careful with their own privacy. They exposed themselves to the state on their own, and now they don’t want to accept the consequences. It’s fine that this whole story gets sugarcoated with sentimentalism, but that’s the truth. None of this would have happened if they had understood firsthand what the state is and that the state is just waiting for you to make the slightest mistake to screw you over. It’s ironic, to say the least, that you offer a privacy service when you yourself are incapable of being private, all while knowing that what you’re doing is “illegal” in the eyes of the state — but of course, as long as you were making money, everything was fine.
