The left went from criticizing the government and corporate powers
To looking to the government to fix their problems, in huge part caused or contributed by the government, and looking for the government to fight their enemies (which power’s will be used against them should their “leaders” not be in power)
That is the tale of the left the past 20 years.

2024-10-22 18:42:42

Off of vibe check, seems like Trump may win in November
Dems were over betting that Americans cared about their appeals to democracy and international affairs like Ukraine more than many do.

None of them have any clue what a fucking paradigm shift Bitcoin is.

Have no clue. Can’t make sense of it.
It’s not a past to be examined. It’s a future to embrace, where everyone can participate. No tricks, no secrets, no “market” to be “protected” against
Bitcoin is the sorcerers stone. It’s a black hole.

#Bitcoin is so simple in how it works and benefits those who engage with it that many “smart” people think it’s too simple, or too good to be true
It’s not. It really is that simple. You’re just used to jumping through hoops for everything else to benefit this broken, fractured, fiat banking system
I think the world will really start to wake up this next cycle. And thank god, because people will see that it doesn’t have to be this way—the way the world has been going…we’re ushering in a new era, for the people. You CAN thrive, you CAN prosper, with Bitcoin.

If you’re investing, please be careful with Bitcoin miners! It may seem simple on the surface, but far from it. The cost/game is brutal, acquisitions always looming, AI play (but with what partnerships), potential shitcoining, in over their heads, and more!
Get to know the company, board and leadership really really well or don’t invest.
Much better to just stack sats, or look into a business with a bitcoin treasury strategy (imo it’s less risky, but still super risky).
For the vast majority, stacking sats is the way. If you want to support or get skin in the game with bitcoin companies you believe in and can spend a lot of time getting to know, then invest.

Confession of a bitcoiner: I’ve never read the sovereign individual, until now.
Well, I started reading it. And beyond whether I agree or disagree with some of their beliefs/thesis, it brings up a bigger concern for me:
They’re getting a lot wrong, and failing to see the power and might of the U.S. and global coordinated effort that I think they believed would be well on its way to crumbling at this point?
This is my fear with many Bitcoiners as well — you live in a libertarian utopia, assuming others will join, when the fact of the matter is the U.S., the dollar, military global industrial complex, coordinated big tech, etc, is stronger than ever.
The hopium can’t block out the reality of the forces that plague humankind for the next century—it’s going to be a tough battle. The “sovereign individual” doesn’t automatically win…far from it. It has a higher chance of losing, unless we all do something about it. (I prefer sovereign communities, but maybe that’s the leftie in me 😉)
But I’m hopeful justice, peace, and freedom will win! We must be realistic about what we’re up against though.

I am confident Bitcoin will be just fine under either current presidential nominee
I am also fairly confident shitcoins and scams will be given more free reign under a Trump administration.
I don’t need a “savior,” which Trump is far from anyway. And Bitcoin surely doesn’t need a king or savior.

This is a really good TL;DR for those of us in the United States, now inextricably linked to this conflict because of the U.S. gov’t’s blank check (both economically and financially) stance towards Netanyahu’s Israeli government.
The massive civilian casualties are a new dark period in the Middle East, as this conflict rages on. I fear Trump would only make this worse, but the Biden/Harris admin has also failed dramatically on this front.
