Like "obstruction of justice," money laundering victimizes the state law enforcement apparatus. It's an invention of a self-preserving bureaucracy. That the state can be "victim" of a crime is itself an absurdity. The mark of an overgrown institution more so than a true matter of morality. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah In modern day politics a conservative politician is as much the opposite of a progressive one as a black bear is the opposite of a polar bear. They differ in one very visible characteristic. But both are still bears. Either one will eff you up if you forget that fact 🐻 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What I'm saying is that appreciating bitcoin requires thinking far into the future. People with few resources can't afford to think far into the future because they have to worry about the present. But these are the people most in need of bitcoin. How does bitcoin overcome this challenge? Is that even possible? Rich people can AFFORD to worry about many years down the line. Poor people cant. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The uncomfortable reality is that time preference is inexorably linked to resource availability. The more resource-poor the individual, the more inclined that individual is to have high time preference. How does #bitcoin adoption overcome this headwind? Does it? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This just in: @npub1vxf…hunh puts on a hell of a conference. Great meeting you sir! Thanks for all your hard work. It's making a difference! npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Being PRO-war and being CAPABLE of war are two different things. At times there is no alternative and war becomes necessary. I am not pro-violence. But leave me no alternative, and I will resort to violence. To be pro-war is to be anti-human (ex: some US politicians) npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Chamberlains Steakhouse (near hotel) 6ish. Can meet in lobby to discuss details shortly. Burgundy hoodie npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What are my odds of assembling a small group of strangers at #bitblockboom interested in getting steaks tonight? @npub15t3…c8rq @npub160t…yjc9 (Tagged you cause I have no followers lol) npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah #bitblockboom? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah https://youtu.be/TI3Xcei8d_I?si=4b9AC3LkUEmfdpSL npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Great stuff npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Rest was great as well. I stand by my first impression npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Sry by cope, i was referring to Draper presenting this as a good return.. not your comment npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah My front garden has undergone a similar transformation over the years. Gone from lifeless clay and rocks to soil. Complete with earthworms, salamanders, and all sorts of life. So gratifying.... hope the next residents take care of it 🌱 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This one is awesome 💪🏾 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Freedom maxi here. All for permissionless creaming. I just ask that we don't make #creamstr a thing.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Not to be that guy that whips out the Bible, but this parallels the Cain/Abel or Jacob/Essau dynamic... failure to make the proper sacrifices in life is the road to bitterness and envy. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Happy stacking, my friends #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/2bd5e4a255dde05c21e8328f765ae950b2975084e1ba4de58473d852c35e2b1c.jpg npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Easy to assume everyone else has been obsessively questioning their own assumptions and scrutinizing conventional wisdom... In reality most have been unknowingly flying blind, certain of their rightness. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Agreed. I think "intrinsic value" is an imprecise attempt at describing those things that prolong life (i.e. gain you more time) either individually or for your genetic line. That depends on circumstances. Sometimes a gun is more life prolonging than water or sunlight. Sometimes water or food can be life THREATENING (i.e. drowning, morbid obesity). Their relationship with time is what determines the value they hold. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The mark of the true fiat brain is that high time preference has become a permanent setting Them understanding the value of bitcoin is like a goldfish understanding the value of your car's drivetrain warranty. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah If I hear one more self-important, arrogant, constipated CNBC pundit dismiss #bitcoin's appreciation as inexplicable "crypto mania".... The fucking HUBRIS. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah #Nostr is the actual metaverse. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah 🔥 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah "No one devalues our currency and distorts market signals but us!" npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The flaw with this counter argument is it assumes these critics have an appreciation for rules-based order or decentralized consensus. When they raise questions about a change to the 21m hard cap, they aren't even informed enough to be suggesting a change to the underlying code. They are used to a fiat system, where "reality" is dictated by verbal decree from a centralized authority. These people think one day Satoshi will resurface and decree (by fiat) that there are now 50 million bitcoin. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah 👀 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah “If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.” - Sun Tzu https://image.nostr.build/a1ba2b3a759f889883be06bcacfa110bf2b4c31adfe4f4cdea62673b328c8bab.jpg npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I fear that, by this metric, we will always be early. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah ETF buyers can wait their turn. Buy some post-pump fiatsats. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah It's moments like this that demonstrate to ETF holders just how nerfed their asset is. While #BTC gaps up between the hours of 1600 and 0930 EST, they're forced to watch like cucks, so they can buy the local top after market open.... this is the way #BTC humbles. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I blame Apple and iTunes. Since iTunes started by leasing access to music you had ALREADY paid for, it's been a slow sly creep toward digital serfdom... i couldn't identify it at first, but this has been my ideological beef with Apple since the iPod. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Where's the link for gifting with other ppl's money?? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal. Devon Eriksen is brilliant. https://fountain.fm/episode/OGQV5geuq6SrJVDosjY4 npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Question @npub1h8n…rpev: what are your thoughts about ETF as a sort of "beard" in the event of a 6102? As in, keep the long term stack buried in cold storage, but the smaller decoy stack in the ETF fiat wrapper? Keeping a portion (5%?) in tradfi seems like an effective way to capture NGU for anyone who - while understanding bitcoin - recognizes that eventually they may want/need to sell some for whatever reason. Would seem that the ETF can be an effective tool, as long as it's not mistaken for true bitcoin ownership.... Put differently, having a smaller NGU stack apart from the larger FGU stack. Any game theoretic holes in this approach? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Morality by definition exists at the intersection of the individual and the group. One of society's fundamental purposes is enforcement of morality. Now whether "society" means the State or something more local/decentralized is a different question. But social compacts should be enforced beyond simply trusting the individual to do the right thing. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah These sleepwalkers fail to realize the US govt is morphing into the very villains they gleefully villify in their history books and religious texts (Great Britain in 18th cent, Roman empire in times of Jesus, etc.)... regulatory overreach, bureacratic bloat, onerous taxation, military tomfoolery.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah "If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by." - Sun Tzu npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Buying ETF - rather than BTC - to capture the price gains would be like seeking out Lebron or Kobe (RIP) as a mentor just so you could score free Lakers tickets. You're missing the point. And wasting an opportunity. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal https://youtu.be/3FA3UjA0igY?si=Afh6Wh8jf5vZB-Gm npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal https://youtu.be/TXs3maguye4?si=UJiMoO10Ma99QQit npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal https://youtu.be/9SLijVthmfE?si=cRxucDbpYMwXFzcT npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal https://youtu.be/l1si5ZWLgy0?si=ZZ11rnv2wDTlI_ew npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah High signal https://youtu.be/JIWvFJrlB2Y?si=wRMBCwrZuSbp0xQJ npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah One observation... if freedom of speech is good because it allows for wars of ideas rather than armies.. the good AND bad of Nostr is there are so few chances here for good BTC ideas to clash with tradfi/fiat normies
