These bailouts were paid for by taxpayer money. 2. They disproportionately protected the interests of the wealthy while leaving others to bear most of the burden. 3. The manipulation of the money supply by governments, essential banks exacerbates the problem of wealth inequality. 4. Inflation poses significant threats to the value of money in a fiat system, often disproportionately affecting the middle and lower class. #DontTrustVerify Check out this cool lesson from #Yzer! https://imageyzer.io/Drawbacks_of_the_Fiat_system_NcDljF7.png Download @Get_Yzer now!

I’ll take a look and see. What are your thoughts on the Umbrella Home? https://umbrel.com/umbrel-home npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon How can I build my own relay and store my own notes? npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon I realize now that one of the greatest gifts I’ve been given by the almighty God of the universe is God fearing parents. I can remember having family worship growing up. We sung hymns and read the Bible together as a family. I can remember my father singing or whistling hymns and gospel tunes while washing dishes or doing other work around the house. I find my self doing these same things today. I just paused before writing this while listening to one of my favorite contemporary gospel bands Maverick City Music the song is “Most Beautiful So Beautiful” I realized how my parents have shaped me and my behavior. If your parents have raised you to love God and Christ, or they raised you with structure, boundaries and strict discipline, you are better for it. You know this! Unfortunately there are those who have not been raised this way and they don’t realize how powerful what they’ve missed out on is. If this doesn’t resonate with you that’s ok. It will resonate with someone, and in that moment God will be praised. This is what I’ve been created to do. Praise God, spread peace, love, and the gospel message. Amen… npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Agreed. There is a mountain. Until it’s exposed exactly how enormous the inefficiencies and deficiencies of the USPS are it will continue. The USPS is just one example. Im sure there is much fat that could be cut in government, as well as private enterprise. However as we all should know there is no incentive to correct inefficiency when the money pockets are endlessly deep. On the contrary when someone’s private capital investments are being squandered in a way that doesn’t produce the intentions of the investors, that calls for analysis, evaluation and restructuring. In other words, folks will get fired or repurposed in a way where they will perform. When the worker realizes they will only get rewarded when they add value behavior changes. I’m not the first individual to bring into question the idea of privatizing the USPS. My wife sent me on an errand early this morning to the Post office to mail one of her EBay sales. I had a few thoughts on how I could do it better, and how amazing and important the shipping/mail service is, so I shared a few thoughts. I also have a co-worker that owns multiple UPS stores so that thought further pushed me to imagine how it would look if I could franchise a US Post office and make the service better for my community. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Perfectly understood. Not sure there would need to be a constitutional amendment to make this type of change to the USPS. With all the historical context taken into consideration relating to what groups were able to “level up” their economic position, there should be sound economic reasoning for making changes to infrastructure within a market place that claims or strives to be free. Part of the reason we have the poor economic/monetary policies here in the USA is because of the pandering to and consideration of special interests. Allow free markets to exist in conjunction with releasing the restrictions on private enterprise to develop and you will see dramatic increases in innovation and health competition across all markets. True capitalism will allow all people groups to advance/prosper. What we have now is phony capitalism where by monopolies and cartels are formed by lobbyist and special interests. Allow people to be free to peruse their aspirations and you will see human behavior changes. Time preferences will lower as people begin to value their future more. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Privatize the United States Postal Service. Watch and see how much more efficient and productive the service becomes. I’d be the first in line to buy a post office and the routes the station services. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:1-8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/2ti.4.5-6.NIV npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Read this book by Tom Burrell and you will understand how advertising (propaganda) works to influence the mind. https://a.co/hwuKrsb npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Thomas Sowell should be necessary reading in all schools. #note195x…7mr7 npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon When someone introduces themself as an “OG” Bitcoiner do you: 1.

Your thoughts…. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him (Jesus) in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?” But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.” Matthew 22:15-22 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.22.15-22.NIV npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/php.4.8.NIV npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” -William Durant npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Primal is my favorite so far. I’ve used several. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Though it’s important to remember that as followers of Jesus, we are not responsible for “converting” others to our beliefs. We are only responsible for sowing the seed by pointing others gently toward Jesus. The rest is up to the Holy Spirit to work on their hearts. Our actions should attract people into the love of Christ as they experience Christ-like purity, love, and unity from His very own followers. Godly actions that put others interests ahead of our own can be criticized by people who might misinterpret unselfish acts as a weakness. Don’t give up though—this world needs more kind people like you! Some people think Christians should behave better than non-christians. While that seems logical, the only way a Christian can “level up” to a higher standard of behavior is by remaining close to Jesus and surrendering our lives to Him. We must remember that every human being is a sinner and only God’s presence in our lives can make us anything more than what our fallen nature dictates. Adventists believe it’s not enough to just call ourselves Christians. The way we behave in all areas of our lives, both inside the church and out, should reflect the behavior of Jesus. Everything we watch, read, eat, do, think and say should be for God’s glory and not our own (1 Corinthians 10:31). https://www.adventist.org/christian-behavior/ npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon HOW WE TREAT OTHERS “Walking in love” means caring for the interests of others as well as ourselves (Philippians 2:4). If the Holy Spirit is living within us, the natural outpouring of behaviors will be “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). https://www.adventist.org/christian-behavior/ npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Equal opportunity does not equate to equal outcomes. Outcomes differ. That’s ok. Allow nature to take its course. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Amazing story. Keep doing what you’re doing Joe. I support you bro!

Would they stop using Bitcoin wallets? Would they stop using Bitcoin…? The answer I believe is no. The legislation would create a “white market” where exchange would happen “underground”. Innovation towards finding new technologies that can work around the legislation would sky rocket. The legislation would create a never ending game of waak-a-mole. Not to mention this legislation would probably send bitcoin’s exchange rate to the U.S. dollar to the moon! The point of my response is to say that NOTHING can stop/regulate Bitcoin. There is no useful reason to give light to all these government/legislative attempts to regulate Bitcoin other than if your the business of announcing these events. If you’re a policy watcher, or you’re paid by a company to make or respond to policy would be the only reasonable explanation for giving these events any attention whatsoever.

Hoarding money is nothing but the custom of holding a greater stock of it than is usual with other economic agents, at other times, or in other places. The hoarded sums of money do not lie idle, whether they are regarded from the social or from the individual point of view. They serve to satisfy a demand for money just as much as any other money does. Now the adherents of the Banking Principle seem to hold the opinion that the demand for storing purposes is elastic and conforms to variations in the demand for money for other purposes in such a way that the total demand for money, i.e. that for storing purposes and that for other purposes taken together, adjusts itself to the existing stock of money without any variation in the objective exchange-value of the monetary unit. This view is entirely mistaken. In fact, the conditions of demand for money, including the demand for storage purposes, is independent of the circumstances of the supply of money.” — The Theory of Money and Credit (LvMI) by Ludwig von Mises https://a.co/iBQqRNk npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon When you understand the Byzantine Generals Problem and how to solve for it, your life will change. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Another celebrity is pumping crypto meme garbage!

Mises explains here: “For, in fact, the way in which an individual values a variation in the quantity of money at his disposal is by no means directly dependent on the amount of this variation; but we should have to assume that it was, if we wished to conclude that there would be a proportionate variation in the objective exchange-value of money. If the possessor of a units of money receives b additional units, then it is not at all true to say that he will value the total stock a + b exactly as highly as he had previously valued the stock a alone. Because he now has disposal over a larger stock, he will now value each unit less than he did before; but how much less will depend upon a whole series of individual circumstances, upon subjective valuations that will be different for each individual. Two individuals who are equally wealthy and who each possess a stock of money a, will not by any means arrive at the same variation in their estimation of money after an increase of b units in each of their stocks of money. It is nothing short of absurdity to assume that, say, doubling the amount of money at the disposal of an individual must lead to a halving of the exchange-value that he ascribes to each monetary unit.” — The Theory of Money and Credit (LvMI) by Ludwig von Mises https://a.co/jlQ4BWr npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon Thank you for explaining this Dr. Ammous. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon RFK jr. takes the presidency. I said it first. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon A bunch of word salad. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed. The situation was the same, but she was different. One day my dad said to her: - I've been looking for a job for three months and I haven't found anything, I'm going to have a few beers with friends. My mom replied: - It's okay. My brother said to her: - Mom, I'm doing poorly in all subjects at the University ... My mom replied: - Okay, you will recover, and if you don't, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition. My sister said to her: - Mom, I hit the car. My mom replied: - Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway. Her daughter-in-law said to her: - Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you. My mom replied: - Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet. All of us at my mom's house gathered worried to see these reactions. We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of "I don't give a damn about 1000 mg." She would probably also be ingesting an overdose. We then proposed to do an "intervention" to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication. But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained: "It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine. I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them. I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point. And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives. I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not. So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities. From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults. Everyone at my mom's house was speechless. From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “There is no justification whatever for the widespread belief that variations in the quantity of money must lead to inversely proportionate variations in the objective exchange-value of money, so that, for example, a doubling of the quantity of money must lead to a halving of the purchasing power of money.” — The Theory of Money and Credit (LvMI) by Ludwig von Mises https://a.co/bfU0xeM Up to this point I was understanding what Mises was explaining. But this quote seems to say that an increase in the quantity of money does NOT decrease purchasing power. If I’m understanding this correctly this would be completely contradictory to what I’ve come to understand through my dillegent research. @npub1gdu…6nak could you shed some scholarly light on this concept please. I really would appreciate your thoughts on this. npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “The increase in the quantity of money does not mean an increase of income for all individuals. On the contrary, those sections of the community that are the last to be reached by the additional quantity of money have their incomes reduced, as a consequence of the decrease in the value of money called forth by the increase in its quantity; this will be referred to later. The reduction in the income of these classes now starts a counter-tendency, which opposes the tendency to a diminution of the value of money due to the increase of income of the other classes, without being able to rob it completely of its effect.” — The Theory of Money and Credit (LvMI) by Ludwig von Mises https://a.co/1CFkLKq npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “An increase in a community’s stock of money always means an increase in the amount of money held by a number of economic agents, whether these are the issuers of fiat or credit money or the producers of the substance of which commodity money is made. For these persons, the ratio between the demand for money and the stock of it is altered; they have a relative superfluity of money and a relative shortage of other economic goods. The immediate consequence of both circumstances is that the marginal utility to them of the monetary unit diminishes. This necessarily influences their behaviour in the market. They are in a stronger position as buyers. They will now express in the market their demand for the objects they desire more intensively than before; they are able to offer more money for the commodities that they wish to acquire. It will be the obvious result of this that the prices of the goods concerned will rise, and that the objective exchange-value of money will fall in comparison. But this rise of prices will by no means be restricted to the market for those goods that are desired by those who originally have the new money at their disposal. In addition, those who have brought these goods to market will have their incomes and their proportionate stocks of money increased and, in their turn, will be in a position to demand more intensively the goods they want, so that these goods will also rise in price. Thus the increase of prices continues, having a diminishing effect, until all commodities, some to a greater and some to a lesser extent, are reached by it. ” — The Theory of Money and Credit (LvMI) by Ludwig von Mises https://a.co/4tUcDaJ npub1wtfnlhvhvm90lgsgyd6cu82tj3v429y7qkuu54srwzxpefppc2zq3cjjv2 jon “If we wish to arrive at a description of the demand for money of an individual we must start with the considerations that influence such an individual in receiving and paying out money. Every economic agent is obliged to hold a stock of the common medium of exchange sufficient to cover his probable business and personal requirements.
