Gm, still thinking about RFK’s speech on Friday.
When you store your wealth in S&P 500 index funds, among the things you are “investing” in and funding are censorship, surveillance, big pharma, the sickness industrial complex, and war.
And so many people do this. They blindly, price-insensitively store their wealth, the result of their life energy on earth, in companies who participate in the aforementioned societally harmful things.
It’s a reflexive, inculcated behavior. It’s what the financial advisor class tells you is “prudent and smart.” It’s what Warren Buffett will tell you is “investing in America.”
It may be prudent and smart, in a dark, cynical way. But I reject the idea that investing in our own gradual spiritual and physical death as a populace is investing in America.
I tend to agree with RFK that the most important issues of our time are fixing our utterly toxic food system, fixing the perverse incentives of our broken healthcare system, dis-empowering the censorship and propaganda machines of mainstream media and tech conglomerates, and defunding war.
One way you vote for THAT is with your money, by saving in #bitcoin.
Another is with your eyeballs and your attention, by using #nostr.
So yes, we talk about our bitcoin price, and maybe we do it too much. But it’s because #bitcoin is a vote. It’s a tool. It’s a protest. It’s being the change you want to see in the world.
