Given how bad inflation and real wages have got, I suspect this is the toughest 1st bear market so far by some distance. I suspect the next one will be even tougher. I have so much respect for plebs old and new.

When this thing reaches critical mass, it really starts making a difference. What's been built with bitcoin so far is nothing compared to what's to come.

If you're alive today and adopt bitcoin at some point in your life -you might be slow- but you can't be late.

Been thinking about Saylor's "borrowing against bitcoin" and the consequences, not to the person borrowing so much, but the wider consequences of the behaviour. Links with timestamps The majority of this interview was fantastic but Saylor went a bit deeper on this borrowing against bitcoin / bitcoin as collateral and in the second video Peter Dunworth talks about what 'will happen' with bitcoin & what rehypothecation and leverage banks could do should it be "declared" a currency rather than a property and how banks may even want to pay you so they can leverage your bitcoin. I think both outcomes are sharkish/fiat/shitcoin/yeild minded. The majority of this is fantastic by Saylor, but on this point I'm hearing him really consider using Bitcoin to get "risk free yeild" essentially, and whether it's with risk or not, but to my mind this is antithetical to Austrian economics and frames bitcoin as a tool for the fiat system rather than a different system entirely as maybe Jeff Booth best describes. I appreciate that he talks frequently about how not to push people away from bitcoin, how to help rather than hurt the cause, that you have a better chance of changing someone's mind if you're polite rather than toxic and be aggressive only when it's life or death. But on this point, trying to convince money to move into bitcoin by pushing ideas which may cause a lot of harm doesn't seem the best way to go about it either.

The only reason the price would stop going up is if the block height stopped going up. That doesn't seem likely.

As it is better if bitcoin is adopted gradually, it is better if shitcoins die gradually

The system is defective. We live in a place and time of relative peace and cooperation but everybody working to live within it are becoming less free and less wealthy.
