Good think we have #bitcoin now npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt So true, "evil isn't remedied with a decentralized currency.", but In countries with chronic high inflation, capital controls, or unreliable banking, the option value of an alternative monetary rail is higher. In stable, high-trust environments with efficient payment systems, the marginal benefits shrink. I was talking to 2 Indian students who work at Walmart yesterday they don't trust the c$ very much probably because 10 years ago Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in a televised address that all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series would cease to be legal tender from midnight that same day. These two denominations made up roughly 86% of the currency in circulation by value. The biggest bill we get in Canada without surveillance is c$100 which I don't think will last long and makes up 63% of the value circulated. Total value of all Bank of Canada notes in circulation: about $121.28 billion Value of $100 notes: about $75.36 billion npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt Sorry, this doesn't move your seed words over. npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt On the new update there is: Advanced/Tools → Export Wallet → Sparrow npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt "Normies can't help but to focus on money's role as a medium of exchange. We live in a Consumption-based society after all. But what most fail to grok (or acknowledge) is that the core feature of Money--and all of Finance, really--actually revolves around Purchasing Power. IMPORTANT: The Creation and Control of money are the proverbial Keys to the Kingdom. Whoever Creates and Controls money also has the ultimate say regarding the Purchasing Power of its Users (or Participants). When the State Creates and Controls your money, they get to decide how much--if any--of your Purchasing Power they will confiscate over time. And... Since the ability to confiscate (aka, "steal") our Purchasing Power via the Creation and Control of money is nearly irresistible, the State chooses this option... every time. Always. Without fail. Until the State grows so large relative to its underlying People's waning Purchasing Power, that the State fails. This has happened time and again throughout recorded history. And it's happening again. Right now. Across the Modern World. But especially in Europe, the United States, and Japan. These countries have accumulated so much debt--that is, they have borrowed, taxed, inflated, stolen, and spent their countrymen's Purchasing Power--and have grown so large, that their citizens' Purchasing Power is no longer able to sustain their grotesque girth. Bitcoin--for the first time in recorded history--changes this dynamic. It puts the Creation and Control of money directly and irrevocably into the hands of the People. This means that the People get to remain in charge of their Purchasing Power--not the Aristocrats--for the first time in recorded history. This is why it is Critical to keep the Bitcoin Network Decentralized and Secure... well away from those who would like to manipulate it to regain and restore the Creation and Control of your Purchasing Power. Bitcoin is truly Better Money for a Better World, because it is Of the People, By the People, For the People. This is a Once in a Species opportunity for lowly, hard-working, honest, regular people... so let's not blow it."

Look at the absolute, breathtaking hypocrisy of the state. Today, AIMCo—a Crown-owned corporation managing nearly $195 billion in Alberta's pensions—just disclosed a massive $219 million stake in MicroStrategy. They are actively using corporate proxies to get exposure to the 818,000 Bitcoin sitting on Michael Saylor's balance sheet. But what did the Canadian government announce this exact same week? A nationwide push to shut down all Bitcoin ATMs. They are using your pension funds to secure their own exposure to absolute scarcity, while systematically destroying the physical onramps you need to achieve self-custody. They do not hate Bitcoin. They just hate you having permissionless access to it. The state wants the asymmetric upside of the Timechain for their balance sheet, but they want you trapped in their melting fiat casino. They are frantically buying up the lifeboats while welding the exit doors shut for the middle class. Watch what they do, not what they say. The sovereign arms race is happening right in front of you. npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt *Balancing Natural Inequality with Social Harmony* “Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” — Gen 4:15 1. The Human Dilemma The fall of man introduced a tendency to blame others (scapegoating) for our own failings or sins. When God created humans with unequal capacities, He created a tension: How do we achieve “fairness of outcome” without institutional tyranny? To answer this, we must compare how Capitalism and Communism handle the natural inequality of man and the divine deterrent of the Mark of Cain. 2. The Capitalistic Path: The Witness of Higher Order In this system, the government’s mandate is defined by its absence. The State is not a master, but a witness. A. Economic Non-Interference: Recognizing that production comes easier to some than others, the state refuses to penalize the high-performer. There are no “leveling” taxes. This forces a culture of self-reliance rather than envy-based scapegoating. B. The “Cain’s Mark” as Meta-Deterrent: This is not a police-state revenge. It is the Fear of God. The Mark is a universal signal that the individual is off-limits. C. The 7-Fold Restitution: Restitution is fixed at seven times the value of the harm. This applies to both physical violence and economic theft (fraud). It is a “divine math” that makes the cost of transgression so high that even the most powerful producer is restrained by a debt they cannot afford to pay. 3. The Communistic Path: The Pecking Order and Control In a Communistic system, fairness is attempted by elevating humans to positions of control to force productivity and redistribute resources. A. The System of Guaranteed Participation (UBI): To balance unequal production, the system utilizes Natural Capital. Example: If a mining company uses autonomous drills, the dividend captures the value of the minerals—the “God-given” asset—rather than taxing the human labor that no longer exists. B. The Corruption Risk: The flaw in this system is the “pecking order.” Humans in high positions often use the “fairness” mandate as a mask to control others. Without the “Fear of God” (the 7-fold penalty) applied to the controllers, the system reverts to scapegoating the productive class to satisfy the pecking order. 4. Synthesis: How do we “Get Along”? True fairness of outcome is achieved when the government “backs away” from the production process but remains a steadfast administrator of the 7-fold Law. Fairness of Outcome: Achieved through the Social Dividend of natural resources (Common Grace). Social Peace: Achieved through the 7-Fold Deterrent, which ensures that the naturally “stronger” man cannot exploit the “weaker” man, and the “weaker” man cannot use the state to “slay” (scapegoat) the producer. By applying the Mark of Cain to all interactions, we replace the “revenge” of the state with a cosmic accountability that allows the unequal to live as equals. https://image.nostr.build/af7fc7e33d28018212c3a30c34a6c4c955cd8c0494d0f31cea1fe5e8a1f03922.jpg #longform npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt What is Property Rights?
