Trying to orange-pill my 78 yo uncle who runs the family office. Saylor's message resonates with him. Capital preservation is a big deal to the boomer investor. And guess who has all the wealth right now.

Integration into the financial system doesn't mean it has been "captured." Love the quotes, by the way. They suggest it isn't you saying it while you're saying it.
Meanwhile, your complexity assertion (can't call it an argument bc you make no points) is cope. Price is an indication of demand. All cheap things are cheap for the same reason. People don't ascribe value to it or find its properties compelling.

I'm already anxious about custodying my own stack. Once we get into six figures, it will be a lot to handle. Then when it goes above a million, I will have to become invisible.

Yes because seizing your keys is the only way they can ruin your life. If the govt feels threatened by a movement, it will seek to destroy it in the most aggressive ways. If they seized your family, you're going to think long and hard about how much those keys are really worth. I can't believe 6,000 years into this people still haven't learned.
I seems to me Saylor is trying to reassure institutional investors that there are solutions that minimize the threat to the govt. He isn't telling you to give up your keys.

2024-10-21 18:42:50

Is he wrong? If a movement threatens the government system, how does the government usually react?

Corporations are going to use custodial services. Family offices are going to use custodial services. Pensions and retirement funds are going to use custodial services. This is Saylor's audience in the interview.
Where did he say individuals buying bitcoin should use a custodial service?

The weather patent info has already posted in this thread. Thing is, you're the one who decided to set the bar about what "too far" is, and yet at the end of the day, all you can say about it, is " evidence, pleeese." There are a hundred ways you can get more info on this topic, but you'd rather mock because it's easier than thinking.

At the moment, we're talking about defining terms. You say "don't go full retard," but you don't really know what you mean by that because you haven't considered the extent of what the largest, self-funded govt in human history can possibly do. Flouride was a simple, easy to understand example of it (a chemical inserted into a natural resource to harm us).

The Talmud isn't Scripture. The Old Testament does not take this view. It teaches that it is through the Jewish people that the rest of the world is to come to know and be blessed by God. Failure to do so is for this reason that the Jews are repeatedly judged in their own Scriptures and why they'd rather reference the Talmud.

They will create a phony monetary system.
They will start wars for profit.
They will tell your children to cut their parts off (and help them do it).
They will lower your kids' IQ with fluoride.
They will force you to take a vaccine.
They will give people syphilis.
They won't tell you who the pedophiles are.
They will actively work to destroy your family.
They will flood towns with crack, heroine and fentynal.
They will allow millions of criminals into your country.
They will block aid to Americans.
But you trust them when they say they don't manipulate the weather?

I agree. They act like it will create havoc, but so-called revelations of Satoshi's identity have never moved the needle. I suppose they could try to discredit whoever they ID, but that has no bearing on bitcoin's network stability and functionality.
At worst, it gets a bunch of coverage right before the election and then drops off the radar when there are more interesting things to discuss.

I don't think it's because they are small. The IMF has done worse to smaller places. ES has some interesting friends these days.

They would care because what if every country that is under the thumb of the IMF followed suit and escaped the globalists' control (read Confessions of an Economic Hitman)?
Access to their natural resources would become dangerously limited.
They also cared enough to visit in person right after Bukele announced it.

Why would I buy microstrategy if I can buy bitcoin?
I can't think of a single reason.

2024-09-19 09:00:49

I listened to the interview and thought that people with capital aren't going to be incentivized to invest it in companies or govts if they can make more just holding the bitcoin.
Even if the regulatory structure isn't here now to make it easy, people with capital will be incentivized to demand it.
You'll have to absolutely love a company or country to give it your bitcoin because you will be poorer if you do.

Have you seen Americans living in poverty? There's a lot more going on there than just bad ideas. It's bad health, dependence, illiteracy, addiction, unemployment, broken homes...This was warfare on them, and they lost.

I'm not sure I can respect people who have faith in the system. The system is designed to make the people poor, sick, dependent, and complacent. At best they are naive, in which case I pity them.

No. I'm mad that no one cares enough about the Constitution to stop the bureaucratic state from harassing US citizens. Congressional committees are there now to protect the BS instead of representing us.

2024-09-03 03:48:43

- reply

I didn't say the constitution in some sense doesn't make us difference, I'm saying it has no power to stop people from ignoring it and doing illegal things. And there really isn't a way to hold those people accountable for ignoring it when they do. Congress doesn't do anything. SCOTUS can only rule and not enforce. POTUS is where most of the offenses are happening. There are still people rotting in jail for Jan 6 who haven't been charged with crimes.
The Constitution is meaningless if our beloved and sacred institutions refuse to recognize it and the people who care about it are too weak to confront them.

2024-09-03 02:17:12

- reply

What's the difference? If you can't speak freely without being canceled, you're still a slave to the state.
Besides, there's other ways to get you besides arrest like an FBI raid on your home, an IRS audit, asset seizure, a phone call to your employer that gets you fired, or a lawfare strategy that bankrupts you. Our govt uses all of these methods to shut us down.
And when that doesn't work, they use their agents to set people up for crimes they didn't plan to commit.

Even more specifically, it's a cult.
It has doctrine that makes it look legitimate, but then there are always features that veer away from culture.
It has secret info you can't know unless you are loyal and rank up.
It has rules that separate people from mainstream culture.
It requires missionary zeal that transcends virtue.
It threatens harsh punishments for those who don't contribute to it.
It doesn't allow you to leave without giving up most of what you have.
