5 Simple Steps to Achieving Control of a Country:
Step 1: Destabilize the money which will create a permanent underclass who will own nothing.
Step 2: Allow the instability to grow for decades, feed people lies about the people that are successful are robbing you.
Step 3: Spend those decades using the media, that you control, saying that speech is violence and that anybody who slightly disagrees is a Nazi.
Step 4: Create an almost unknown amount of radicals who will support your coup and will commit political violence. Other people will support this violence too because who cares about violence against alleged "Nazis".
Step 5: Take this permanent underclass that you have created and radicalized over 50+ years and take control of the country and oppress the other who didn’t support you.
This what Western countries are dealing with. 50+ years of radicalization. It has taken decades to achieve and it will unfortunately take decades to undo.
Rest in Peace to Charlie Kirk. He had an incredible impact on millions of people across the world and will be missed. I pray for the repose of his soul and I pray for his family and friends who are having to learn how to live without someone they loved.
Shout to @Fountain! Nowhere else do I get to earn $50 for listening to a podcast I had planned on listening to anyways.
Also great episode @ODELL@MartyBent
Good Morning Nostr!
Predictions for the next Trump Presidency:
1. Trump is sworn in and mass executive orders ensue. Including ending birth right citizenship.
2. The birth right citizenship EO will be challenged and will make its way to the SCOTUS who will rule 5-4 (with Robert’s joining the 3 liberal justices) to end the practice.
3. On January 21st, news media will start reporting that the economy is not doing well. The recession that millions of Americans have felt for the past several years will actually be reported. 4. Inflation and the unemployment rate will increase to reflect what it actually is not the underreported numbers of the past several years.
5. Tariffs will be a nothing event. They will be implemented then 95% of them will be walked back within the year.
6. DOGE will be a nothing event. Nothing stops the spending train. Congress will tell Elon and Vivek (if he is still there) to kick rocks.
7. SBR is created by EO but congress wont authorize the purchase of Bitcoin.
8. Nothing will really change for Americans. Opt out but #Bitcoin
Currently syncing another #Bitcoin node and it has taken me days to get from 80% to my current 95%. It only took a little less than a day for the first 80%…
Does anybody know why this is or if someone is working on a solution?
The concept of a Bitcoin “stock split” is intriguing, and even Satoshi recognized it might become necessary at some point. Unit bias likely has a negative impact on Bitcoin’s price, but the idea of redefining 1 satoshi as 1 Bitcoin misses the mark—especially since 1 sat transactions are not economically feasible on-chain. If the decimal place were to move, it should remain high enough to ensure that 1 Bitcoin can still be spent easily, even with transaction fees. In my view, moving to 1 million sats (currently 0.01 Bitcoin) as the new Bitcoin would make sense. This would essentially be a 100-to-1 split, and at current prices, 1 Bitcoin would cost only $1,000 USD.
That said, if such a change were considered today, it would likely face pushback from within the community, as well as criticism from haters claiming, “See? The 21 million supply can be changed easily.” While this criticism would be disingenuous, it would still arise. My guess is that we won’t seriously consider moving the decimal place until Bitcoin reaches $1 million USD per coin.
