Arthur Hayes spitting truth: “But at the end of the day, if you're thinking about why now, why did BlackRock get in their ETF approval in six months and the Winkle Clowns couldn't get one in 10 years? Right? Live in New York. They're both billionaires, both very rich. Why weren't they given one and BlackRock was given one in six months? Well, at the end of the day, you want the same financial institutions to control the wealth that can ultimately be appropriated by the government at the flick of a switch. BlackRock is just another arm of the U.S. government, just the same as any other large Chinese asset managers in the arm of the Chinese government.”

I sympathize with your viewpoint. People who believe that libertarian principles are like the simple rules in a snake and ladders game indeed take on a sort of arrogance, which can lead them to justify manipulation of the use of force in the end. I’m with Van Dun that the most foundational “ought” that can be derived from an “is”, is that humans ought to be reasonable; and hence that reasonable argumentation is the bedrock of any peaceful, orderly, convivial society.

(US politics) Does anyone else also feel that the Drudge Report has taken a turn to the left? I’ve been reading it for 15 years or so and used to feel that it was sensational but quite neutral in the left-right spectrum. The last 2 years I notice a change, with a lot more negative news focused on Trump vs Biden for example. What do you guys think? New owners perhaps?

Fiat is an acid; a poison that weakens living creatures, that dissolves age old healthy membranes, and that slowly burns away all that is good in the world.
Bitcoin is a base; a benign soap that cleanses our wounds; a purifying water that restores life in society’s rivers; a miracle potion that helps us remember songs of truth and virtue.

2024-03-17 14:10:03

A Real Rap on Real Estate
In the dance of wealth, where truth and lies entwine,
Houses once stood, symbols of our design.
But beneath the surface, a truth concealed,
Fiat’s erosion, their fate was sealed.
Deluded buyers, blinded by the lie,
Houses crumble as the years fly by.
In this tale of shifting wealth and gain,
We find reflections of our human bane.
So let us heed this cautionary verse,
As Bitcoin’s rise calls for a reverse.
For in its wake, a shift is seen,
To sound construction, long unseen.
Classical architecture, born anew,
Guiding hands, patient, steady, true.
No longer hasty, this time with care,
Building legacies beyond compare.
For in the ever-changing dance of fate,
Bitcoin restores, it does not abate.
It’s not just wealth, but values that await,
In stone we build, our legacy, innate.

Bitcoin is demonetizing real estate. A lot of “invoosters” chomping at the bit to “buy the dip” in real estate are going to get burnt badly. It’s for the most part essentially a shitcoin, just one that’s slightly less shitty than the dollar.

The industry with most desirable goods of its era gets to deliver the power brokers of the world. That’s why we had oil barons, Wall Street titans, and now tech moguls. Most likely, the next generation of global power brokers will emerge from the #bitcoin ecosystem.

A call to crypto flippers
Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.
You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.
I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.
But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.
I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.
So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.
We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.
Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.
Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.
So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!

Perhaps a reunification of NL & Flanders is not a bad idea. It used to be one country after all. Dreaming out loud: A Dutch speaking federated republic, with Swiss style direct democracy, New England style jury trials, Swedish style free speech, and Milei style tax minimalism, at the dawn of the Bitcoin Reformation.
Dutch world class entrepreneurship and Flanders’ rich intellectual tradition… could be a killer combo if brought together in the spirit of tolerance and libertarian small government. https://image.nostr.build/efb7de898b72d0162ee9c3b6ffd493e0284121db699f6f4a3c85f24f9bc97cbb.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b42241ce2eb73779d1b556b52d3e4e2a9d3f48ce0321e9bc560b6557d25f1933.jpg

So last night, on a whim, I seasoned a frozen thick cut steak, then put it in our dehydrator at 160° until morning (8hrs). It came out perfect: juicy within, lightly roasted outside. I’ll do this now often, it’s an instant breakfast requiring only 1 minute prep. Works with frozen burgers and such too, but they come out a bit drier.

Haha yes - that’s a little sculpture my parents bought for me when I was a 10yo kid and we were traveling through Poland.

Added a new little sculpture to my collection today. The seller called it “the nerd” (pictured on the left). The piece is dated 2002 by one C.Smith. I love that it was made in that year because it means the artist was clearly inspired by the news of the internet boom and bust. His little beau tie is adorable, and also the rest of his style fits the era really well: receding hairline and neck carpet, heavy set glasses and tucked in shirt 😊. The pencil to me symbolizes the transition from the paper-and-fax culture to the new all digital world. A little piece of history! https://image.nostr.build/f90f43bdc998e9c483a6da2dbfad7e918be3ce93dde9328a6ffac3d33b36c127.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2b291a493d50bfa7785846296299279c62815eae5207117ee35f99e67195464e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/cb259bdb57530e06ab5adf1c7a065ac9be2c2a47e977b5650e23815005bd52fb.jpg

The world is pretty crazy now. And that’s with inflation at just 20% in the West. What will it be like when inflation hits 50%, 80%, 150%?
That’s why I invest most of my time in building mental resiliency. I want my mind and body to be ready for a world where the crazy gets cranked up to eleven, combining the worst of the 1930s, 1940s, and the 1980s.

JK Rowling is such a great writer… from her first Strike detective novel:
“He took the train out to Canning Town station. It was overlooked by Canary Wharf, whose sleek, futuristic buildings resembled a series of gleaming metal blocks on the horizon; their size, like that of the National debt, impossible to gauge from such a distance.”

In bitcoin, the miners and startups, if sufficiently short term motivated, can be tempted to fork the system at the detriment of pleb hodlers. Sovereign node running is an immune function that prevents that.
In politics, the government, if sufficiently short term motivated, can be tempted to fork the system at the detriment of productive citizens. Sovereign individuals owning firearms is an immune function that helps prevent that.

The Ozric Tentacles just dropped a new album! It’s amazing, really trippy and energetic. The band was founded in 1983 by two brothers, one of them died in 1999. The father was a famous sculptor in the UK, friends with Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, etc. #PsychedelicRock

My dad fired his first bullets this week. Commanding a firearm has such an immediate effect on people, I think because it viscerally conveys to the handler how it really has the power to level the playing field.

The unacknowledged fear of (ego)death causes people to do the stupidest, most destructive things. To create a truly peaceful society, we all must learn to accept our mortality and fallibility one way or another.

Communists and socialists can be really nice people, courageous too. Yet that doesn’t make their ideas any less dangerous.
