#[0]​ would be cool to do an open interview on current events —is your “end of an empire” note inspired by Balaji’s TFTC podcast appearance or…? —what’s behind your RFK support? How much of it is his recent embrace of Bitcoin? —Any plans to support RFK candidacy? Conventional wisdom in DC (which is often wrong) is that RFK is completely non-viable

1. No. It feels like the time of the American empire building driven by the military industrial complex is coming to a close. And that’s a great thing for America in my view. 2. None of it has to do with Bitcoin. He has a platform full of positions I think would be great for the country, most importantly a platform of peace and a break down of the military industrial complex. 3. Yes. And you’re right. They are often wrong.

I’m concerned for his safety should he, RFK Jr, gain widespread public support. The military industrial complex doesn’t like having it’s fur ruffled, and the Kennedy family well, you know.

Somehow I doubt these banksters' empire will end after they abandon America.

Love this version of America through peace and economic strength approach rather than wars
I’m calling it a peaceful world wide revolution through the means of subjective values! The Rabbit Hole Revolution is here and happening in the background. You know it and you can feel it!
Be careful what you wish for. If we don't end up in a multipolar world the next hyperpower may be even less benign than the USA. Certainly the USA has been a less benign global leader than the UK was.

geolpolitical volatility is extreme at this time. more than any direct event, something like a new, simple illness wave which has a 💉vaccine, or a "black swan" event in leadership elsewhere might cause instability in other ways - stoking fear. rarely do clandestine ops target directly. which is part of the reason why i say jfk wasn't the target, jackie was the target. it was supposed to be a fear tactic. anyway a that's a separate issue. if there was a mass-scale pandemic again with something which has a vaccination, and widespread uptake was low and the narrative are largely suppressed, not remedied - it would be all out chaos. not to mention amplified propaganda and broken health systems and language access at an all time low. there is a complacency in the exhale from the "pandemic being over" which terrifies me more than any candidacy. it takes nothing to create a new global event under the lazy citizenship of the moment. we have so many other issues before worrying about another election - and rfkjr's primary efficacy is to be a voice to help reveal corrupted narratives. which is why he has my personal support as a person. i'm not focused on the presidency.
Thanks for these —What’re your plans for supporting RFK? —Are you in touch with the campaign? —You’re not the only prominent tech exec to praise RFK. Are you in touch with others in the industry about this? —You often come across as a lone wolf type. Do you have a team or advisors or anything when it comes to your civic/political engagement? —Where do you mostly spend your time these days? (I saw you were in Iceland for a bit)

No but I agree with him. I’m not in favor of a digital dollar. We have an open standard for money transmission and currency in bitcoin. We don’t need another.
These questions are creepy as hell. He is just a guy. He was lucky enough to start the right company at the right time in the right place in the right generation. Yet you talk to him like he is Jesus. Your generation’s value system needs serious adjustments. (No offense, @jack. nothing personal)
be DIFFERENT. Change “standard”. Get out of the life suck while you can.
5.) lol! 🤣🤣🤣 Nobody wants to see Jack get Epstein’d or Bobby Lee’d for that matter! Reality is ugly these days! 🫂🫂🥲🥲 Stay safe, pseudonymous, and mobile! 💪🙏💪🤡🌎🤮🤮😡😡🥵🤬 image
