I appreciate medical doctors and other healthcare providers, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to give advice that is often adverse to human health.

I appreciate educators, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to reward strict compliance, memorization, and group-think rather than autonomous thought, creativity, and integrity. I appreciate commerce and the necessity of a widely accepted medium of exchange, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to steal purchasing power from (forced) users of the fiat currencies--thereby worsening income inequality--rather than allowing to people to survive and thrive through their own proof of work. I could go on. Do you see that everything the Federal Government touches, it corrupts over time? Anyway, GM. ☕

100%!! Everytime I dwell on a problem, snd want to truly try to fix it, versus alleviate suffering temporarily, I come back to Bitcoin.
Shun the government’s currency, Shift to the free market’s money It’ll take sacrifice, struggle and time But, freedom will be thine

Centralization is structurally less robust than decentralization.

Word, Dr. Jeff Ross! Cantillion Effect, Power Corrupts, a corporate oligarchy masquerading as a democracy… fun times are here as the fourth turning rolls along.
I have argued that this is why military, healthcare, housing and education have become so expensive. Everyone needs a house so we have to make them affordable. Everyone deserves an education so we need to make loans accessible. The axis of evil hates us for our freedom so we have to spend trillions on war. Just 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Hands off bitches. It’s not working (for us).

Couldn’t agree more. It’s a bleak thought but it’s our reality, sadly. It’s up to us to put in the work to lead a better life than the one imposed on us by the government.

Dr Jeff the wordsmith. Good Morning!
The government is interested in Bitcoin for the same reason that anyone is interested in Bitcoin. Who cares if they build a strategic reserve or not? Bitcoin is for friends and enemies. If you want a currency that the government will never be interested in, then you want a currency that is easily censored and strictly controlled. Dollars are easily censored and strictly controlled.
Governments, corporations... whatever those giants touch, turns into p%ss!
I suggest we use 1g gold discs as currency, as Bitcoin is a godless Ponzi scheme. Feck that nonsense.

ptsd doesn't come from unethical missions you utter tool. ptsd comes from having no mental framework with which to give the violence meaning and worth. show us more how little you know of the world
