Stack sats every chance.
Bitcoin goes up.
Stack sats every chance and enjoy twitter/nostr memes.
Bitcoin goes down.
Reread the Bitcoin standard and buy dip.

Keep stacking.
Use lightning to buy and sell real shit.
Keep stacking.
Try and orange pill family and friends.
Keep stacking.
Try and orange pill random people at the bar.
Laugh at them because for sure most of them are staying poor. Keep stacking.
Listen to @npub1cj8…rz4u talk about Bitcoin and other libertarian-minded folks’ shenanigans.

Hi Henkypenky, I do enjoy the analogy to fiction. However, I wasn’t sure what the possible future scenario, alluded to in the title, is.
Also, I’m not familiar with psychohistory, so I couldn’t follow the central argument.
It seems like an interesting analysis, I just don’t fully understand the central argument.

Realizing how lame it can be talking to fiatomatons, and especially when they’re family.
Had an awkward exchange with some recently that turned to political quibbling.
It’s gotten to the point where we can mostly agree on that of the major shitfuckery is bipartisan, same clowns different hats analogy, etc.
When make it to this point, I’m normally met with complacency, nihilism, “what could ever be done,” “doesn’t help to dwell on the negative.”
Then I’m like, it does matter and begin the orange pilling.
Then they’re like, “I’m too [insert self-deprecating adjective…dumb, old, poor etc.]”
This is where I give up. This is the fiatomaton, sleepwalker, npc that will realize after it’s too late.

Dracula and the Federal Reserve Banking System
https://media.tenor.com/i-bVjQhnNgQAAAAM/dracula.gif
Listening to a certain conversation take place between Jack Mallers and Rick Ruben, I heard a brilliant insight.
Mallers noted, "money is time and energy in extracted form."
He continued, "When the government debases its money. They are debasing you. The time and energy that you require to have a life that you deem to be worthwhile, goes up, which is the biggest form of crime and theft you can do to a populace."
In his brilliantly phrased illustration, Mallers gets to the heart of the massive extraction campaign that has been taking place by governments working hand-in-glove with central banking cartels. And, in my view, I cannot think of a better fitting archetype than that of the necromancer vampire, Count Dracula.
It is purported that Bram Stoker never actually meant for his iconic novel to be fiction, but a warning of a real evil. Perhaps. But whether or not that be the case, it is clear that many parallels exist between the Victorian legend and today's modern banking system.
I'm merely looking at parallels, for illustrative purposes only, between what is the modern banking-state, and the legend of a bloodthirsty count from Transylvania, Romania, seeking to infiltrate the British aristocracy and deriving his life forces from ritualistic bloodsucking. If we look at the modern banking state, and the elite political class, one can find any countless number of conspiracies. This is not the point. The fact is that the inflationary policies of the federal reserve banking system, is quite literally, draining you of your time and energy (your life source) and funneling it into the coffers of an aristocratic ruling class.
Take it as you will, my macabre analogy. In fact, I write all of this optimistic that in fighting Count Dracula, we have the garlic (Nostr) to repel his charms, and the bowie knife (bitcoin) that will deal his death blow.
These are my weapons of choice. Are they yours? Are we well enough equipped to fight the evil that Bram Stoker saw in 1897 intimated in our modern era?
Let me know in the comments what you think. Even better, give me a Zap follow me on Nostr to support my work.

#note1y28…kecc

2024-09-28 15:50:00

Bitcoin changes everything.
It's been said many times over. I wouldn't write with the presumption that I, out of all of the people who have had similar experiences, have experienced it any more or less profoundly. I can say for certain that it has been profound, but to measure my sense of the word against yours would be ludicrous. The statement deserves that amendment, it would seem.
Bitcoin changes everything for me.
That must be what the laser eyes are all about. Signifying a shrewdness and foresight, the bitcoiner's laser eyes tell the world that they are seeing things rather differently from the no-coiners, the fiatomatons. Maybe. To be honest, I think they look cool and it makes me feel like an insider. St. Paul, in the Acts of the Apostles, sees Christ and goes blind. He went from being persecutor par excellence to devout believer, in the moment when "something like scales fell from his eyes." The analogy made in the Acts can be well understood by people in the bitcoiner community.
Just to be sure - I'm not here to proselytize.
I'm offering these reflections of mine for a few reasons.
1. Laser-vision isn't enough. If now I can see clearly, I believe it incumbent of me to find my own way to contribute to the space. What is it to see, and not to act? Of course there are many marvels of nature to gape at - and of course, there isn't harm in doing that at times - but there is work to be done. My contribution, at this point, will be to begin sharing my insights on Nostr, curating lists with the hope to add some value to the space.
2. Consciousness is better shared. Here the second point is an attempt at justification for the first. Writing blazes a trail to self-discovery. And others can walk the same trail by reading what's been written before them. Nostr and Bitcoin are powerful on their own, but they are not intuitive. As I learn and discover more about these spaces, I will post about it here. Hopefully this helps to clear the way for others venturing into these spaces.
3. Fiat is vampiric. One's life amounts to their limited energy accounted for in time. Money provides a medium of exchange with which one can receive compensation for their time and energy, allowing them to transmit value into the future. Fiat currency debases our ability to transmit our energy and time into the future. Our time and energy and life are thereby drained from our bodies. Vampires, the directors of this system stealthily sink their teeth into our necks and bleed us pallid.
https://media.tenor.com/olvOYDFBaCoAAAAM/soeurdelune-what-we-do-in-the-shadows.gif
But not if we are aware. If fiat currency is a vampire, then Bitcoin is your fresh garlic and nostr your wooden stakes. Fiat revelations is the place where I'll sharpen my stakes and grow more garlic.
Expect more reflections in the future. Follow and zap me to support my work.
F.D.

I appreciate the visualization.
(FYI - At first I got the same "view on desktop" note as @npub1jk9…lqz7 (on a laptop). Zooming out fixed this.)
Thanks for this. I've found Nostrudle works nicely for discovering user inbox/outbox relays. Haven't been able to see other user's relay info on the mobile clients (Damus, Primal), which is where sharing them to your followers would come into play. I guess growing one's reach is better done using traditional/centralized channels for communication for now. However, I can see how the outbox model can give you more control over the content you are seeing, if you only connect to paid relays, for instance, you will the proof of work takes care of spam users.
