What's that about? Some kind of non-state policing?
GM Mike! 🌅☕️🍳🥓 Hard times ...
Based on their appearance I could break most of his “security” like a twig
Pretty much, yes
Can I hire you as my personal security when I become a Bastard please 😂
Mike the magnificent has much better alliteration.
I say go with that instead.
yes 😂
I think we're all destined to become Bastards. I think I actually prefer that moniker 😂
😂
possibly,... it's hardly comparable though:
paying for security of a small town for a single month
vs.
becoming a dictator of a sovereign nation for lifetime
Have you read most things from Peter that have led to this outcome? I can understand how it looks just by seeing this post, but I find it to be a reasonable solution if you have the full context.
Both Nayib and Peter are genuinely intentioned and are doing good things.
Nobody, with the possible exception of myself, starts off with bad intentions.
Why not both?
Mike the Magnificent Bastard?!
That could be my posthumous title 😂
You either die young enough as a well-intentioned Bitcoiner, or live long enough to become a Bitcoin baron.
I don't want to die, and I'm no longer that young 🥹
Oh Mike, one minute you are shitposting and then you become all philosophical.
Sorry 🫂 😂
Back to shitposting 💪
😂
Sats → Power → Crown 😁
Didn't Saifedean say that monarchs have a low time preference?
Is there a shop to buy Crowns at?
Amazon don’t appear to have any 😂
What do you mean, turn into?
You saying I’m already a monarch? 🤴
What else?
🫂
I'm referring to
@Saifedean Ammous, the author of The Bitcoin Standard😁, who often talks about "low time preference" - basically thinking long-term, saving, and building for the future instead of chasing quick consumption.
The joke here is that becoming a "king" actually fits that mindset perfectly. 😊
I don’t discuss other, less successful authors 😂
Haha fair enough, King Mike Guess the rest of us will just keep stacking sats and reading the 'less successful' authors😜😜
I mean he’s sold more books than me, don’t get me wrong 😂
Actually, seriously I bought his book, but couldn’t read it which is why I wrote mine.
Its basically the same, but cuts out all that fiat crap he drivels on about 😂
Bigger text and pictures!
No degenerate art section?
Lol got it, I get it and yeah, partly agree💪.
The killer feature in my book are chapter titles are in Bitcoin orange 🧠
Unfortunately, there is a category of self-proclaimed libertarians who think that monarchy is great, e.g. Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Saifedean Ammous, Max Keiser.
They have their uses, mostly tourism promotion 😂
Watch do you propose as an alternative for Bedford? Are they supposed to let vagrants, vandals and vagabonds run rampant? Peter McCormack is setting up a neighborhood watch. Presumably they will report crime and suspicious activities to the police, who will then do their job.
Watch The Magnificent Seven for reference, the 1960 version. Better yet is the Japanese original, Seven Samurai.
As for Bukele, his dictatorial caudillo tendencies were apparent years ago.
No they are both doing the correct things and following their destiny.
We are al dictators given the chance
Crazy leap
You’ll have to fight my neighbour and friend, the vintner, for my countries wine concession, when I become dictator 😂
Which is why parasovereign protocols and systems like family, language, Bitcoin, and Nostr are needed.
Lord Acton: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
I like the absolute option 🫡
I looked you up as I saw your name mentioned on a Meshtastic YouTube video, then I saw this post which I thought was great, so reposted, then saw this, which I thought wasn't great:
View quoted note →You are not weird 🫡
However, a nuanced view, I am gradually building.
All politicians start with good intent. If they succeed, they don't wish to give up the job / life they enjoy, so they look around for other things to interfere in. This is where things start to go downhill.
Also, the nature of politics is that keeping your job is the number one goal and over rides all other goals. You either do that by pleasing the masses and do the popular thing not the right thing, or you turn bad, if opportunity arises and become a dictator or part of a dictatorship. Although you don't see it that way, you genuinely believe you are needed to continue the good work
