Oof, he could probably afford it. It’s high time preference thinking that’s stopping him from DCA’ing….
Do you know if he’s paycheck to paycheck?
Being inside the matrix sucks hardcore.
💯
Dawg just do $2 then lmao just do something instead of nothing I’m gonna rip my hair out lmfao
She goes out to eat everyday
Being inside the matrix, talking about how others are inside the matrix is a wildly retarded predicament 😂
My friend just needs to buy the top G hustlers course 😂
NGMI
After paying $50 a month you definitely become the bottom G.
That's something that bothers me about normies... I get it, that it's hard and the system is stacked against you. At the same time, people need to stop being victims.
I remember when my partner and I started our company. We would travel hours to break even, just to grow our client base. I was making approximately $400 CAD a month, for the first year. My wife was in nursing school at the time. We would eat eggs all day everyday, because that's all we could afford and didnt want to eat garbage for cheap.
The path to reach escape velocity out of the system was fucking brutal... I wish there was an easier way. I'm not the type of person who wants others behind me to have it harder than I did. I want it to be easier for them, which is partly why I'm a Bitcoiner. However, the reality is, that getting out of the system is fucking hard.
People can either bitch about it and feel bad about themselves, or they can deal with it.
truth 👊
I have to reflect every so often whether I'm still in any kind of matrices lol
It is hard but it’s fucking doable. $5 a day to financial freedom is about as easy as it can get. Like are you kidding me? What would our ancestors think if that’s all it took? Lmao. She has an average job so she shouldn’t feel entitled to do the things that she does. Spending more than you earn is crazy. I’m starting to believe that being poor is a mindset.
Same. I wonder if it’s not a binary thing. Like you may be on a matrix spectrum. I could still be in the matrix regarding health but outside of the matrix regarding money.
😂
🎯😂
They won't listen, it doesn't matter what you say to them. Just let them be, don't fight it. The harder you push, the harder they'll resist and end up resenting you. Being poor is definitely a mindset and a choice, I might add.
The thing is bitcoin is very much a meritocracy. Who's to say your friend deserves bitcoin more than my friend more than
@Nic ⛄' friend? Each when ready. It's been a while since I've stopped talking about bitcoin with others. I'm much more happier and relaxed.
I'm currently thinking along the lines of, you're always within one belief system or another. But the spectrum of how Matrix it is depends on how much physical power you can exert within it. THE Matrix being a purely abstract system with no ability to exert watts to have any autonomy.
Yeah, I only discuss it with friends when they mention it. There's no point trying to beat a dead horse.
Fortunately/unfortunately, depending on how you see it, everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve
Us included. 🤭
Yeah, I've made peace with this fact long ago.
If they bring it up it's fair game.
See I could let it go if I just had the balls to tell her to HFSP 😂
Okay lowery😂🫡
🤦♂️😖🤨
Do it! 😈
Thursday is the devil on my shoulder
I'm so locked in on Softwar now 🤣
I can’t get over the possibility that he’s a spook
Would that make his theory wrong by default?
He is a spook. But that's ad hominem critique at best.
Wait. Is your friend a woman? 👀
No but the incentive to write about his position could be fucked. Statist vibes.
Yes
True but it is something to be suspicious of. Like lopp working as a shitcoin custody manager. It’s a red flag.
I see you're a brave one. 🐸
No? Militaries are actually pretty good and developing practical technology. And I can only assume they're taking Bitcoin seriously with Lowery within it.
I'm take the very un-humble stance that it has value because I consider it valuable. And I'm a very good judge of ideas.
Considering how there's a whole section about how proof of stake is garbage in Softwar, I think we're safe in that regard.
Am I? Haven’t done it yet lol
I'm sensing sexual tension. 🤭
Explain more
Some people don’t want to be saved
I bet 5,000 sats he drives a nicer car than me.
The military isn't the state, even though the state directs the military. I think a lot of people lump them together.
What Lowery did was take a standard career path for officers to conduct research on potential new military technology. And he did it on Bitcoin and produced a novel academic work for how Bitcoin is a means for anyone to have agency in cyberspace, not just administrative states or militaries, even though national security is his primary interest. Like, if only a state or military could use Bitcoin the way he describes, it would be a pretty garbage protocol.
I don't think he was ever dishonest, but he is required by his position to withhold military secrets.
Yes, being poor is certainly a mindset, excepting people experiencing famine, disease, war, etc.
That's at least $12 cuck bucks per day. My brother has basically eaten a cheeseburger and fries every day for 20 years.
After a long enough time-span, It will effect her health too.
You’re not wrong 😂
They like to complain and be the victims. They’re comforted by the excuses they wear.
I’m sure she does 😂
Kinda feel bad doing this, but I would direct you to Chapter 4 of Softwar to understand how abstract power hierarchies (matrices) are structured and Systemantics to understand how they work.
Basically, your brain is always operating in an abstract reality as perceived by your physical senses. You can share your abstract reality with others via stories, and in doing so, you create a Belief System. And you always act according to your belief system. But some systems are more insidious than others, and you have more agency in some than others.
I don’t see the difference between the military and the state. The military is part of the state.
Those are real poor people. The rest are poor by choice maybe?
It is already hurting her health. She’s gotten chubby. I remember telling her about how bad seed oils were and she would agree, then order McDonald’s through DoorDash late at night and say “but I’m hungry and need to eat something.”
Link?
Yes it is a state of mind.
I don’t agree that the only objective truths that exist are in our minds. That’s subjective. Objective truths exist but we can’t truly know it since we are limited by our subjective perspectives.
I don’t disagree with the rest of what you said though.
A large part of softwar is actually dedicated to making that distinction. The profession of war fighting predates governments after all. And were often used to overthrow bad ones in the non-fiat days.
Chubby is just the beginning. She's killing herself one day at a time. She should check her bloodwork and expect type 2 diabetes, high blood-pressure, and a whole lot more.
Or...She can stop eating fries and stack sats.
I know many sat stackers don't like vegtables, but spinach and olive oil + balsamic vinegar is better than french fries in my opinion.
Which is chapter 4? 😅
Chapter 4 of Softwar is Power Projection in Human Society or something. It's in the PDF and it starts at episode 7 of the pod. He does warn that although you can start wherever you like—each subsection can stand alone, hence why it's so repetitive—the ideas build on each other from beginning to end.
Spinach is pretty bad, it’s full of oxalates lol. But the rest of what you’re saying is stuff that she will ignore so it would be a waste of time. She bought $50 worth of Bitcoin like 2-3 years ago and it’s gone up 4x in value. She sees herself getting fat. She’s a woman so there’s no way it has snuck up on her. And she remembers everything I said about seed oils. She doesn’t care.
Yes practically speaking that is objective truth. When your thoughts match reality, but identifying Bitcoin as a weapon in order to get governments to mine Bitcoin is not what I’m interested in. I want the state to dissolve not grow.
Not sure what happened to the tag for
@JayReframing it may help: Bitcoin is a weapon you use to defend yourself from the state. Bitcoin is something you can use private capital to mine yourself. Everything he ever said about militaries using Bitcoin applies just as well to plebs. And better for us if we beat them to the punch.
Careful there. ⭕️👀
This is why I’m suspicious of him.
Weapons are used to hurt someone else. Even if it’s for defense. But Bitcoin cannot hurt anyone. You can’t kill someone with Bitcoin.
Sure it can be used to protect you from the state but so can speech. You can use your words to avoid being killed. This is what lawyers do for work. If you want to classify bitcoin as a weapon because it can be used defensively, then speech should also be classified as a weapon. And I think that’s a dangerous idea to spread to governments. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be working.
I always wrap it up 🫡
What about making memes and shitposts?
That's another way to say it, yep!
On second thought, maybe not exactly. I think most people are poor by *design*, think Matrix or social construct by elitists. Like, our education, culture, etc impregnate a poor mindset in us.
But it is possible to shift the mindset, which leads to preparation, then luck happens which changes the circumstance (necessarily in that order).
I dunno, just thoughts. Whadda you think?
Wait what the fuck are you talking about? Lol
Vital systems as in like organs in the body? Or vital systems in society or government?
Having majority consensus doesn’t stop someone from acting. People still act in opposition to systems (e.g. murder, theft, rape). I don’t understand what you’re trying to say or ask.
Probably a starbucks a day fits?
Maybe not design but poor by programming. And few people break out of it. Sad.
Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee full of microplastics 🫡
Is coercion the goal?
Good point lmao not my thing I’m more of a peaceful man
Sorry this ended up being a bit long, but I'm going to be blunt and say that you misunderstand what professionals consider to be a weapon: A weapon, in the technical sense, is any instrument that can produce watts, used for the purpose of settling a dispute over who has control over what. The technical definition of violence is the use of weapons for that goal.
For example, self defense is using your body itself as a weapon to defend your control of your body. The military uses weapons to control the various thoroughfares of a nation and to enforce the will of it's governing body. Cells use their lipid walls as a weapon to control what is inside and what is outside itself.
Speech is also a weapon, but used in purely abstract reality to control belief systems. Encryption is a weapon that produces data that is physically impossible to decipher by adversaries, thereby controlling who can access it. And Bitcoin is a weapon to control who owns which UTXOs with the goal of making them inconfiscatable.
This is how you have to think when you're dealing with enemies who don't know or even care what you believe, and just want to control you and what you have. Who won't sit and argue with you before deciding to shoot you. Who won't consider your right to free speech and privacy before deciding to eliminate them.
And the reason why Lowery always just told people to read the thesis is because this is all explained in detail for anyone to understand. But most bitcoiners didn't really want to understand, which is just as frustrating to me as it is for a bitcoiner trying to explain things to a nocoiner.
Based on that definition, it makes more sense. But it is problematic when most people don’t understand weapon that way. So why not use a different term?
“My friend likes Andrew Tate”
First mistake
I think because we've been in a state of war since the Federal Reserve Act was passed. We as a people have been stolen from and oppressed for a century at a scale that surpasses any king or military conqueror in history.
It's only natural to use the right tools for the job, and the job is to secure our freedom.
It’s not the worst person to like 😂
Idk who that is but he’s ugly af
I'll bet he has more than one chair.
She has many chairs 😂
Gotcha.
I'll stick with design because I think fiat money is designed to extract wealth from the poor and route it to the pockets of the rich. I think society is largely designed around monetary value, which would explain why schools don't teach about finances, debt, inflation, taxation, gold, Bitcoin, Austrian economics, etc.
We're close enough though. 🙂🤝
Update on my friend that was “too broke” to afford a $5 DCA. She is buying a kitten for $600. NGMI HFSP.
Should I send her this video of her favorite influencer?🤣
View quoted note →If it wasn't for Donald Trump making a deal with Romanian authorities and then pardoning Andrew Tate he would be in prison for kidnapping and trafficking underaged girls as sex slaves.
So it's interesting that he makes this argument, he wasn't debt trapping then girls or paying them a low wage he had them held against their will locked in their rooms after taking away their phones and passports forcing them to masturbate on camera for perverts around the world.
That's how Andrew Tate made his money, self trafficking teenagers as slaves.
I thought Biden was president when he went to jail. Also where is the evidence? Those are large claims.
Trafficker or not, I'm too lazy to do the digging, Tate is selling the laziest sleaziest fiat veneer form of masculinity that no real man would ever fall for.
Great act for convincing teen boys you are tough, but you look like an insecure twat to any real man.
The main problem with him is that he’s a scammer. His hustlers university is a pyramid scheme
I wish someone made decent content on masculinity for misguided youth.
Problem is, real men are too busy doing manly shit to make 15 hours of content a week talking about how much manly shit they did.
It’s out there but there are a lot of “manly” things you can do and most men don’t do everything. So you have to be specific in what you’re looking for.
