Conscription is slavery, and it's coming to a country near you.
They want you if your aren't too old, and they definitely have their eyes on your children.
When you serve in the military, you are giving your lives to politicians and bankers. I'm not here to say you shouldn't volunteer. That's your business. But when the State believes conscription you is the only way it can survive, run for the hills. It now just looks at you as fodder for whatever it feels it must do to continue to exist.
This is the most obvious example the State can only survive by force. I hope people wake up to this before it's too late for our kids.

I told a friend the other day that I tend to make crazy decisions. She said, "like what?"
I replied: liquidated my 401k in 2018 and put it all into bitcoin.
She waited for like 15 seconds, and then she changed the subject.
Didn't even ask me why I did it.

I agree. We teach our kids through examples, but they are human beings with their own independent nature's. And we cannot always be sure of our motives as we interact with them. There is no cure for the violence in the human soul, at least not one that resides within us. A person here or there may suppress it for a while, but as long as envy, greed, jealousy, etc exist, we will struggle with our children and how they relate to others. No matter how "reasonable" we think we're being.

I'm not advocating for corporal punishment. I haven't seen where it's terribly effective unless it is deeply embedded in a culture. But I guarantee you will use force if your son goes after your daughter in a physical dispute. There simply times when it's necessary.
Hopefully, your strategy will work most of the time, but there will be a power imbalance no matter what you do until he is the same size as you. And then the nature of the imbalance will shift from physical to something else until your child can stand entirely on his own as an adult.

The choices bitcoin has given me are substantial and on a scale I've never had before. Being able to tell your boss you would refuse the jab bc you knew you had enough bitcoin to take care of your family is a lifeline few had during covid. And that's just one example. Feeling good about the future bc bitcoin is taking apart the financial and political world is another.

2024-05-25 18:38:33

I got into #bitcoin in Dec 2017 just after the hash wars. It kept popping up on my radar throughout that year, but I don't think I would have survived the FUD or the hard fork. When you first buy bitcoin and why matters. I did not think I had a problem to solve. Jumping in while the a major battle was going on wouldn't have convinced me.
I admire anyone who bought in and stayed in during the FTX debacle. Many of us could see the writing on the wall, but it would have been very difficult for someone new to understand what was happening. I am no expert, but time in matters.
We have many more ups and downs ahead of us. If you really see the good bitcoin can do, even if so many say it's imperfect, then stay the course. I don't believe bitcoin will let you down.
