Post Fiat Poet | Exploring the Bitcoin universe with visual storytelling, sick beats & profound lyrics
A spicy piece of artistry I want to share:
This is a photo of a Mongrel Mob member wearing a jacket full of gang patches. The Mongrel Mob is one of New Zealand’s most prominent gangs, known for its bulldog patch. Last year, the Gangs Act 2024 banned the public display of gang patches. While these symbols are linked to violence and intimidation, they also represent cultural identity and resistance for some.

Real luxuries are:
1. Slow mornings
2. Great companion
3. UnKYC'd UTXOs
A straw man is when you distort someone’s argument by making it overly simplistic or extreme so it’s easier to attack. For example, saying “Christianity is just worshipping a bearded man in the sky” is a straw man. Hardly any Christian would agree with that depiction.
The opposite is a steel man where you represent your opponent’s argument as strongly and fairly as possible.
Daniel Dennett believed steelmanning was essential to good philosophical debate. In 2013, he laid out four key rules:
1. Restate your opponent’s view so clearly and fairly that they say, “I wish I’d put it that way.”
2. List where you agree.
3. Acknowledge what you’ve learned from them.
4. Only then should you critique their position.
Respect is foundational. Socrates, in Plato’s dialogues, often begins by clarifying and strengthening his opponent’s argument. Because real debate isn’t about winning—it’s about understanding, refining ideas, and growing together.
Let’s debate to build, not to destroy.

It's 2025 and billion dollar funds are still pouring pension money into proprietary fintechs built on legacy fiat rails and new closed social platforms that replicate the same walled garden models of the past.
Allocating other people's capital without understanding the tectonic shift in technology isn't just negligent, it's an absolute fucking betrayal of society's future.

GM everybody!!! 🥰
When investors ask, “How do you make money from open source?”
What they mean is, “How do you extract rent without locking users in?”
Via Thai Enquirer: A building under construction in the Chatuchak area collapsed following the tremors in Bangkok, triggered by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.
Sudden earthquake in Bangkok just now. My parents are pretty shaken up. Hope #siamstr nostriches are doing ok na krub! 🙏
Happy and successful people celebrate when other people are happy and successful.
Unhappy and unsuccessful people celebrate when other people are unhappy and unsuccessful.
Choose your friends accordingly 💜
