Hvorfor gråter en 51 år gammel mann når han er gjest i en podcast for å snakke om penger, frihet og politikk?
Og er det mulig for han å komme fra det med æren i behold?
Dette overlater jeg til deg å bedømme, etter at du har hørt disse fire halvtimes lange episodene, som du finner link til i kommentarfeltet nedenfor.
Serien handler ikke bare om norsk pengehistorie, men også min egen historie som samfunnsengasjert skribent og forfatter, en reise som var ensom i mange år, men som ikke er det nå lenger.
Sammen med Nicolai Hansen fra Bitcoinsnakk spilte jeg inn denne podcasten ved tinghaugen på Frosta, der Frostatinget lå for mer enn tusen år siden.
Vi belyser et av de viktigste kapitlene i Norgeshistorien, Harald Hardrådes feige drap på Einar Tambarskjelve og sønnen Eindride i Trondheim i 1050, og setter hendelsen i det jeg mener er det riktige perspektivet. I tillegg diskuterer vi forbindelsen mellom dette og Satoshi Nakamotos prosjekt.
Serien har en grundig oppbygning og bryter kompliserte konsepter ned til et nybegynnernivå. Den passer perfekt for dem som ikke kan noe fra før om det finansielle systemet eller som undrer seg over hvorfor Bitcoin ble skapt.
Jeg har vært gjest i mange podcaster etter jeg ga ut Fraudcoin, men dette er en av de innspillingene som har betydd aller mest for meg personlig.
Uansett hva du måtte synes om den, håper jeg du vil legge igjen en kommentar når du har hørt episodene.
Snakk fra levra, og si din mening uten å legge skjul på noe.
Og del gjerne denne posten med andre, hvis du tror flere kommer til å ha glede av den.

Where are interest rates going?
Will Trump push Bitcoin adoption?
Trump needs to refinance goverment debt at lower rates.
I think he's using facilitation of Bitcoin as a threat against the deep state and its supporters - the old oligharcs who control the monetary system - to oblige the Federal reserve to lower interest rates.
Lower rates increase the money supply via an uptick in bank lending.
Since Trump wants to reduce govt spending, the newly created bank money mainly gets flushed into the private sector instead of the govt.
The super rich get hold of the most of the credit.
They use the borrowed money to outcompete everyone else in the fight for scarce resources, including land, securities and bitcoin.
This way, the old oligarchs get to wet their beaks.
If they instead fight to maintain deep state dominance for the short term, they will push interest rates up and create havoc all over the world.
But for them, that's uncertain gains with unknown costs.
The oligharcs likely have low time preference (not high time preference as many Bitcoiners seem to think), and prefer certain gains at known, low costs.
Delaying Bitcoin adoption also makes it possible for them to play for time.
So, I suspect the old oligharchs prefer the following deal with Trump:
He doesn't push rapid Bitcoin adoption and in return they give him lower interest rates.
That's my best guess.
Was it an omen?
This is from Fight Club, when they rebel against the system and rage against inhuman consumerism.

Afuera!


Most people prefer hearing ten comfortable lies instead of one uncomfortable truth.
I wrote about Hegseth's Trønder bloodlines the other day, and this below is as far away from the old Trønder spirit of minding your own business as it can be. Crazy stuff.

Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, proclaimed his heartfelt belief that the Third Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem. He also calle...

Which country is the United States' No. 1 intelligence service partner?
Hints:
1) Not a five eyes country
2) Taxes are extremely high
3) Elon has recently commented on the extremely high level of gaslighting in this country's MSM
4) Its people celebrate the country's constitution day harder than any other
5) Together with its neighbors, this country's ministers (in the govt) have the lowest level of education in the world
Toying with the idea that Musk surely now will call me to give advice on how he and Trump should go about to clean up D.C. 100%. What else could be the reason why he liked my comment?
🤷
That's enough shitposting for now, time for a cold beer...
Interestinf to see that a couple of Trump's picks are "Norwegians."
Here you get to know the new U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who has Trønder blood in his veins.
(Trøndelag is my home region in Norway)
His great-great-grandparents, John Pedersen Hegseth and Anne Olsdatter Hegseth, moved to Minnesota in the mid-1800s.
Pete Hegseth himself has served as an infantry officer in Afghanistan and Iraq.
He was awarded two Bronze Star medals, typically given for heroism or meritorious service in a combat zone.
In the interview, he discusses how the left reformed public schools in the U.S., working to remove religion to make people more loyal to the government and believe in socialism.
He simply says that schools replaced faith in God with worship of the state.
Seems like a tough guy with a healthy dose of anti-state thinking.
In other words, a good old-fashioned Trønder 😁
I'm pretty sure Erna Solberg, leader of the Conservatives in Norway, isn't going to use Make Norway Healthy Again as a slogan in the upcoming general elections.


On December 10 Microsoft shareholders decide if it should invest some of the $75 billion cash reserves in bitcoin.
Looking forward to see "the next Joe Rogan" to say the same about a Nostr app as Rogan said about X:
"X is the number one news source on earth. It's the most trusted, because it's the only one which is not fucked with."
