Last Notes npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin In meat space or the digital sphere? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Is it too much to ask that we not let mentally ill people run our civilization into the ground? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Excited to try it! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Great read. Definitely recommend! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I'm moving further to the right every frickin day. Next thing you know I'll be getting a symbol tattooed on my forehead. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin https://i.imgflip.com/2/55qwo.jpg npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Straight up workaholic at this point. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin True. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I got taxed to shit when I earned this Bitcoin, basically 50%. I have ZERO intention on paying capital gains taxes when I spend it. Fuck the tax man, fuck the government, fuck the IRS, fuck the fed, and fuck you. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin G22P4A17. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Lyn Alden and Jack Dorsey are to NOSTR what Trump is to truth social. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Read old books. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Bitcoin is gonna soak up that liquidity like a giant black hole sponge. Hold on to your butts folks. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Who are you selling it too? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Farm/garden fresh food is the best. Eggs, berries, and tomatoes especially. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Guten tach. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Free your mind from ideology and dogmatism. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin There is a lesson we can learn from Judo, you can make fighting your opponents easier by turning their energy/momentum to your advantage. Don't directly counter their energy, accept it and claim it as your own. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The left aren't the only one's who are anti-zionist. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Ideas spread faster than you can make babies. The only way to combat ideas is with better one's. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Progressivism is a suicide cult. Let's hope that we are prepared enough so they don't drag the rest of us down with them. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I read a quite a few posts on substack. I really wish that I could zap the authors rather than having to subscribe to support them. Subscription model creates a freeloader problem where most readers are free subscribers and a few generous patrons carry the monetary burden. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin You get what you are willing to tolerate. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Embrace the cringe, the only way forward is through. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Humans will never be obsolete unless we give up, which sadly, seems to be quite common of late. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Most people didn't used to live beyond the age where they were able to work. Now the majority do. A potential solution is having a cultural shift away from debt fueled consumerism towards frugality and saving. Hopefully, this will be encouraged by the widespread adoption of Bitcoin and HODL mentality. The other way is having a cultural expectation for children to take care of their aging parents, definitely not an easy sell in the West nowadays. Either way, can't be fixed quickly nor easily. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Bitcoin doesn't need politicians for it to survive, but bitcoiners do. If the regime in your country cracks down on bitcoin, it will make your life far more difficult. Just because you want to be left alone doesn't mean they will leave you alone. From a pragmatic standpoint, if you're a bitcoiner in the US, it makes sense to vote for Trump. RFK jr. has near zero chance of winning and Kamala is more likely to be anti-bitcoin. Also, Trump has said that he will free Ross, for what it's worth. You should always be suspicious of politicians. However, we need to realize that we're in or near the "then they fight you" stage, and there are enough passionate bitcoiners in the US and elsewhere to influence policy in our favor. Though there is a near zero chance that my vote will have any impact given that I live in one of the most blue states in the US, I still will be showing up in November to cast my vote for the orange man. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Couldn't agree more. Nothing compares to double-double animal style. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin 100% banging the wife or trying to. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Don't get caught up in the culture war nor politics. The only thing that matters is promoting/defending technologies that empower individuals and communities to stand up to tyrants. #NOSTR #Bitcoin npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Ouch! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin True, we all can't work forever. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Satanogrift? What dis? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Jordan hands down. Then Lebron and Kobe. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I don't think we should be concerned about NOSTR growth. I find it much better with a smaller group rather than the giant noise fest on X etc. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin This is completely asinine. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Where are you hiding the jews? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Basically a workoholic right now. Must have more sats! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Mothra flapping her wings. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The square is misleading since left libertarian is an oxymoron. It's more like a triangle with the corners being libertarian, progressive, and reactionary. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin BOJ raising rates and using other interventions to defend the yen causing widespread panic among those leveraged long in the yen carry trade. Basically a gigantic margin call on a bunch of leveraged hedge fund degens. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The silk road is the best thing that ever happened to bitcoin. Wish it was still around, need some coke or adderall. Gotta make them dolla bills ya'll. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin We're nearing the suddenly phase. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Those aren't farts... npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Gender pay gap narrative is misleading. If you look at the data superficially, women are paid 80 cents on the dollar compared to men. When you control for hours worked and hazard pay, then the gaps narrows to near zero. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Fuck your longhouse shit. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Then put them in storage, and make sure it's cold. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin And astrology may have some legitimacy due to seasonal effects on childhood development. I think the main problem with fed watching is that the fed doesn't even know what it's going to do since it's a reactive agency. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Fed watching is astrology for fintwits. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The vast majority of individuals and firms won't interact with L1 of the bitcoin network. Most will use a service provider like and ecash mint etc. BTC opens the door for new financial innovators to build on it without permission, as opposed to the tradfi system which has insanely high barriers to entry. The old system of fiat and central banking is on it's way out, most people just don't realize it yet. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin My work life balance is shit right now, and it's in large part my own fault. The sense of obligation to work more because there's work that needs to be done is the trap I fall into. And it's only going to get worse until all the boomers die off or medicare goes bankrupt. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I was refuting the statement by citing a counterexample. The USSR was started by an armed uprising against the czar and collapsed after Gorbachev started letting people vote. Exactly the opposite of what Walker said in the post. But whatever. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Not always the case, look at the soviet union. Collapsed because the soviet leadership lost faith in what they were doing. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Trump is a narcistic megalomaniac who appeals primarily to chuds. Panders to bitcoin/crypto crowd for votes, but doesn't get it at all. RFK gets bitcoin, might even be considered a bitcoiner given how well versed he sounds. He's delusional about other things like wifi/cellphones and vaccines. He's the least bad from a foreign policy standpoint, but is a light socialist economically. Mamala is a joke that the left is stuck supporting because it would be an incredibly bad look to push a woman of color aside. Has no real opinions of her own, and probably has no idea what bitcoin even is. To my fellow Americans, which flavor of poison would you choose? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I have no idea what you just said. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin On my way to a leaner, more muscular body. Steady as she goes. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Is it possible for objectivity to exist if there is no God or religion? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Why? Doesn't mean you have to worship the guy or agree with him on everything. It's clearly better to support politicians who are pro bitcoin. We are a large enough cohort and many of us are single issue voters, so we can force all of them to become pro bitcoin because they'll never win otherwise. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Since it is impossible to know how much time you have left, remember to go into a ton of debt and leave that shit for your kids to figure out. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Financial freedom. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Imagine watching one of the walking whales try and fit into that. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Ecash is the killer app for a bitcoin standard. Sure, there's custodial risk but the benefits for ease of use and small payments easily trumps the rugpull downside. Will see a cambrian explosion of innovation on the custodian key distribution side of things and Bitcoin will be the bedrock that the fertile soil rests on. Bullish. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin At this point, just being white straight male makes you a Nazi. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin It's less about ideology and more about attention, which in my mind is positive. The only way this backfires is if the public at large turns on Trump and Bitcoin by association, which seems unlikely to me. Maybe the marginalized population of the US will start to see Bitcoin as a fuck you to the establishment, which it is. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin From a strategic perspective, it makes sense to use whatever means necessary to get as many eyeballs on the conference as possible. The best case scenario would be for Biden and Trump to have debate round 2 at the conference. Not that it's going to happen, but it would get the world talking about it. All publicity is good. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I was raised in the Mormon/LDS church. Being raised in a religious tradition gives answers to many of our toughest questions like why am I here? what is my purpose? what am I supposed to do with my life? etc. Ever since I left the church early in my adulthood, I've lost something that religion provided for me, a feeling of certainty. I've never recovered. I feel lost most of the time. I find myself wandering around in the realm of ideas, and sometimes buying into this and that ideology at various times. After going through an initial euphoric phase of thinking I've found my new reason for being, I eventually rationalize myself out of it and start searching for something else. I don't think that religion's are true reflections of reality, but I do think they are beneficial to those who truly buy in. This is true of cults too, the more you buy in, the more it seems to benefit you from a mental/spiritual aspect, even if it means you are less well off from a financial or individualistic freedom perspective. Ultimately, I have no idea what is true anymore. I've even started to question history and science. Nothing seems real except for what's right in front of my face. I kinda wish that I had kept the faith of my upbringing. It would make life seem more simple. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed for me and I don't have any hope that I'll find another belief system that I could use to fill the hole in my life. I've entered the realm of absurdism and I've struggled to find a desire strong enough to make the struggle seem worth it. I have a wife, kids, good career, wealth, good health, etc. yet I find myself struggling to stay motivated to continue living the way I am. I want to just buy a motorcycle and ride away, wandering the highways for the remainder of my days. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I think there is a distinction between a conversation and a post. In the context of online content broadcasting, you may have put a lot of time and effort into creating a chart, graphic, video, or long form post and it's encouraging for folks who appreciate the effort to tip you some value in order to show appreciation for the effort. In a conversation though, it does seem strange to give little bits of value to participants who are engaging with thoughts/ideas. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Sure. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin You're right, nothing dramatic about slowly losing your wealth. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Or is it treason if you win? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Happy celebration of successful treason day!!! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Glad he's free and got to spend this special day with you. Happy Birthday Julian! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin It's probably dead either completely or in spirit. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I used to mine feathercoin back in the day. WTF was I thinking? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The way I see future world of Bitcoin: Small minority of wealthy self sovereign Bitcoiner's. Cambrian explosion of fintech innovation with a variety of banking/trust models. Majority of world populace will use the most convenient services, most likely custodial, but they will utilize some version of ecash. Forward looking and ambitious world leaders will drive adoption in their countries, while the incumbent powers will be slower to adopt. Some may even try to completely stamp out adoption, but Bitcoin will eventually win due to the desire of the populace to use it. Weaker fiats will die as they are consumed by stronger currencies, mainly USD. USD will eventually be abandoned as the global currency and USTs as the global reserve asset and both will be replaced by Bitcoin. These will likely take a generation or more to play out, but this is the rough sketch of my vision of the future. Will be a chaotic ride, but I think we will pull through (barring nuclear war or some other apocalyptic catastrophe). npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The US is a uniparty state. The GOP is the heel larping as the face. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The reality is that it makes little difference who gets elected as president. USG does it's thing regardless. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Truth is, who sits in the oval office doesn't matter all that much. It's more like celebrity drama, a circus to trick the voting populace into thinking they have some say in how the government is run. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I introduce my younger brother to Bitcoin almost a decade ago. After a time, he went to work for Coinbase and has since become a major crypto bro. He still owns and appreciates bitcoin, but he sees the crypto space as the future. He even co-founded a recently released token project and is a giant whale of the shitcoin. My brother and I convinced my dad (a rich boomer) to buy some Bitcoin a few years ago, and my brother also got him to buy some ETH. Now my dad is starting to buy some of these new tokens even as the value has steadily dropped since the launch. I don't feel like I need to tell him to dump that shit since it's not a meaningful amount of money for him. I also feel like time will be the ultimate teacher as Bitcoin continues to rise in value and the shitcoin goes to nothing. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Nah, it's gonna be Trump v. Biden. Biden is going strong to the end. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I used to follow a vegan diet, I have a soft spot for animals. But man, was it hard and in the end I realized that there's a reason meat tastes so good. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Intriguing, do you eat the hump? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Heresy!!! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin NOSTR only! npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The best part about open source is that anyone can improve on ideas created by another without permission which speeds up innovation. Free and open information drives innovation faster than patent trolling. Needless to say, I am not a fan of IP. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin The chinese economy is built on peddling plastic junk to mindless american consumers. What a world we live in. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Part of me wishes that I grew up in such a place, but then it might be harder to appreciate the ancient beauty. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin It's mind boggling how many financial/economic decisions are made based on misleading data. CPI drastically understates the effect of inflation. GDP is an almost meaningless aggregate Unemployment rate Fed forward guidance What am I missing? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin If regulation wasn't an issue (big ask I know), do you think that there could ever be economically viable small scale electricity production from an efficiency standpoint? Like having a mini reactor in your home or neighborhood. Or will large plants with line transmission always be more viable due to the efficiency gains of scale? npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Burn the ships, no turning back. Make this thing work or never be on social media again. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin I work a desk job, and I know that sitting for extended periods of time is not bueno. So, I bought a standing desk and walking pad. Now I'm getting blisters on the bottom of my feet, but I feel much better. Tired, but better. Feeling exhausted from exercise is a wonderful thing. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Climate change. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Voting IS pointless. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Voting in pointless. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Been learning/pondering about various ideas behind governance lately. I think the most promising idea I've encountered is having competing start up city/states that are structured like joint stock corporations. They compete for the best and brightest citizens who would willingly move there and pay the local tax because the place was safe, clean, and had a high standard of living because it promoted free enterprise. Like a joint stock corporation, the state executive or CEO is chosen by the board and the board members are chosen by the stock holders. Since the stock owners have skin in the game, they have the incentive to choose wise board members who will chose an effective CEO. Imagine us all debating over the corporate policies of McDonalds or Apple. It's asinine. You either chose to buy their product or not. Instead, we have a cold civil war and government that's growing like a cancer, which will eventually kill the host. Dark times ahead, but there is hope because we now have ways to freely communicate ideas and save our wealth despite the cancer's best efforts. Wishing you all a lovely day. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin One of my life goals is to wear shoes as little as possible. Maybe someday I'll just stop wearing them at all. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Smart. A better "offramp" and way to get others interest. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin More doomscrolling and addictive content on larger platforms. Here it's more chill and takes more work to find content that you might enjoy. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Twitter has so many bots too. Real signal is zaps, not likes. npub1nny7hs59xvcq7nuwm50uy8zel9j4evwrkspqlc9408490e3mn5rs7s6ml9 MCBitcoin Not sure it will be possible to ever get rid of all commies. Here are a few ways you can take away their power: Closing all federal agencies including but not limited to CIA, FBI, DHS, FDA, IRS, federal reserve, DOE, etc. Give all the employees a severance package contingent on them not seeking employment elsewhere. Eliminating all subsidies and tax breaks to universities. Eliminate all federal grants for scientific research. Eliminating public education, deregulating homeschooling and private schools. This would be a good place to start.
