Last Notes npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean They're a fiat scam. See my podcast with Malcolm Kendrick. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I am good thank you. I'm not in Lebanon anymore if that's what you're asking about. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Nothing like it npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I wonder about the same thing and think you're probably right npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Riverside is shit. It ruins conversations by having a huge lag and causes people to keep speaking over each other.

I'll let him know about nostr npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean That's the plan npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I can, but not in a nostr post. I've written three books which discuss these enormous questions in detail if you're interested.

I tweeted my public key on Twitter a while back! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Hello! Yes I'm here! I've also got two more books you might enjoy: The Fiat Standard and Principles of Economics! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I spoke at this conference four years ago, not sure why they still have my pic. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I don't know for sure but I don't take them personally because they seem suspect and because why would I want to skip delicious meat to drink slop? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I'm good friends with Amjad. He's a bitcoiner and won't be pushing any shitcoin nonsense. And yes, I really hope he helps orange pill the crown prince! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean It's already available from my website and will be on Audible very soon.

Check with Konsensus Network, they'll probably know. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Awesome to see, thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean The Otto Wilde classic is the best in the world, by far and I say this having tried many many grills.

Stay tuned and sign up to my mailing list on my website to stay updated npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you so much, really appreciate it ๐ npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Remember when the dogecoin con artist promised to end spam on Twitter, then declared victory over the spambots, and then all his fanbois pretended the spam went away and the problem was solved? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean No. Nothing. Nothing. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Completely false. Germany & Japan dominated post WW2 industrialization with strong currencies, as does China now. The industrial revolution happened on a gold standard. Switzerland stayed on the gold standard and had the highest productivity in the world. The idea that destroying your currency creates industrialization is another criminal fiat lie to promote inflation and benefit parasitic scum. It's the equivalent of telling you that selling your work tools will increase your revenue and raise your productivity. You're destroying your capital stock and devaluing everyone's wealth, forcing them to sell more to survive, and then taking these added sales as a mark of success rather than criminal theft. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean 7.5 years so far. I enjoy & benefit from it so much I don't think I'll go back to plants. See saifedean.com/meat npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Wow. I had no idea Nostr was so toxic I'd be accused of running an elaborate shitcoin scam just like that๐ npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Have fun getting fat!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Eating meat only npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Awesome, delighted to hear this!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean There are already two Persian translations out there. Pirated! Details in the link. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean ๐Five years ago today, The Bitcoin Standard was published!๐ npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Tax is theft. If a project is worth pursuing, people will willingly pay to pursue it. If people won't willingly pay for it, then it's not worth pursuing. The examples of government funding long term projects are basically grifts that go nowhere. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean If it was wise you and people who agree with you would be paying for it willingly. That you need fiat scam subsidies says you don't really believe it. I don't believe it's worth it either.๐ npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean This is gorgeous, I'll try it out๐ npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Why aren't you paying for it willingly and forcing fiat users to subsidize you if it was such an amazing achievement? Also, that explosion didn't look very reusable today, did it? If only you were paying for it instead of everyone else on the world who doesn't give a shit! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Exactly zero accomplishment except the amazing feat of getting otherwise intelligent people to treat the obvious waste like it's an accomplishment. The satellite internet thing is a stupid grift we've been over before. The rockets aren't achieving anything except sell pipedreams npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean The subsidies are the obvious problem, and their presence is why people deal with this insane and obviously pointless stupid waste as if it were some glorious accomplishment. Everything looks good when you don't have to pay for it! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean There is exactly zero achievement. Just endless elaborate excuses to get gullible people to support government giving him money. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I don't value it enough to take food off my kids'dinner table to pay for it. I believe all the TV viewers who care about it should pay for it themselves, and the fact that they can only do it by robbing me tells me all I need to know npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean That just means it's becoming cheaper to blow things up in the air with no return. The idea that there is any benefit from this is just marketing npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean So the dogecoin con artist is getting billions in government subsidies to launch massive rockets that do nothing more than blow up in the sky... And this is somehow a brave and heroic achievement and not just blatant theft because he's convinced TV viewers that these rockets will somehow take humanity to Mars. Do I have this right? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Electricity is so cheap that you can only get it for 1-2 hours a day.
