bitcoin and the problem of hardness

why mathematics, trauma, and human temperament matter more than ideology in modern money

Hugh Hendry nails it with this piece. If you want all of this article, it's going to require a subscription. It's the best thing I've spent money on in a while. This piece is not what you'd expect from Hugh. He is insightful, cogent, and illuminating. This is one of the best pieces written on Bitcoin ever, by anyone since its launch in '09. This is a big claim. Don't trust me. Verify for yourself.

My freinds are you preppers? I've been an active pepper since I first saw the writing on the wall over twenty years ago. I engaged with a militia group for a season to learn what the sovereign citizen can do to be ready for the ultimate decline of social and economic conditions. I consumed volumes of literature within the genre of a post apocalyptic dystopian world and ways to survive the chaos. All fiction and imagination. Somehow I distilled some basic lessons about preparation for the unthinkable. The categories all started with "B"s The six B's to be precise. BEANS representing all sorts of shelf stable foods and water purification and storage. BULLETS. Firearms, ammo, and replacement parts, batteries for optics. BANDAIDS all first aid supplies, medications of as many types as possible as well as trauma kits and IV supplies. BULLION gold, silver, booze, cigarettes, dry goods, candy, diapers, female hygiene products all for barter. BIBLE Ever necessary spiritual food to keep sane and enrich ones local clan and community while under stress. THEN THERE CAME BITCOIN. Stack to the best of your ability. Stay humble. What do you think? What's missing for the end of the world as we know it? Maybe a lifetime supply of Jolly Ranchers?

Here is your reality check for the day. Is our multi trillion dollar debt payable? Here's the math: Repayment plans- 31688.09 years @ 1$/second * 31.68809 years @ $1000/second 31.68809 x 35 trillion= 1109.08 years @1000/second .31688 years @ $100,000/second= 115.6 days 115.6 days x $35 trillion= 4048 days = 11.08 years to retire 35,000,000,000,000 @100k/second 60sec x 60 min x 24 hour x 365.25 days (leap years counted) = 31557600 seconds/year $1,000,000,000,000 ÷ 31557600 seconds = 31688.0878140289 years @ $1/min 35T on the books is but a fraction of the estimated $180T-200T of unfunded liabilities. When you are trying to explain just how bad this Ponzi scheme of the USD system really is, use these numbers to enlighten the ignorant. Read about our only known long term solution in the technology of Bitcoin and step out of the matrix.

Interesting read. A Cautionary tale for the progressive left living in the matrix.

Stalingradification

Your cultural landmarks mean nothing to some.

Given that roughly two out of three (supermajority ) of Americans are in favor of deporting undocumented and unvetted people from the USA; would you consider it reasonable that any police chief, mayor, district attorney, politician or attorney general of a stated sanctuary "jurisdiction" who attempts to interfere with the deportation process be subject to arrest and trial for reason?
