Doesn’t matter if you’re up or down over the course of a week. You’re buying into a new paradigm where you get to keep what you earn and your purchasing power increases over time instead of decreasing.

Many of the best things in life are free. But people still need a baseline minimum of material wealth to be able to enjoy the “free” things that make them happy.

Quibbling over the price of eggs as an economic baseline is the some of the most head in the sand behavior I’ve ever seen.
Instead of recognizing the vulnerabilities of commercial farming to new pandemics and other environmental issues, it’s become an oversimplified talking point for politicians to dunk on each other.

Capital gains tax is one of the biggest barriers to living on a bitcoin standard in the US. Appreciate the spirit of your post, but it’s a lot easier for now to hold back enough dollars for day to day expenses than to sell bitcoin and incur the cap gains.

My nostalgia for the 90s is rooted in it being a time before smart phones and social media. So many more more social shared experiences, unlike now with everyone watching curated content on their separate screens.
In the 90s you could goof off with friends without needing to record and document every single moment. You could make a mistake without worrying that it would end up online and haunt you for the rest of your life. People were on time because you couldn’t make excuses over text messages. You could be gone all day without parents tracking you and that was fine - because you were learning independence and how to be an adult.

Hillary Clinton’s private server was hardly waved off.
The Republican-led Congress at the time launched a years long investigation into Hillary Clinton, she was dragged into multiple hearings, and was also investigated by the FBI, which arguably cost her the 2016 election.
But the Republicans will only block inquiries into Pete Hegseth. Because they aren’t loyal the USA, they are only loyal to one man.

Rewind to my original comment on your post about Trump’s team agreeing to cut off talks with Ukraine.
Trump has insulated himself with “yes men” because he can’t handle anyone that disagrees with him.
You seem to exhibit the same characteristics. There’s no nuance from you. Just insults and petty commentary.

Elon and Bitcoiners, an entertaining relationship:
2021 - Tesla buys Bitcoin, Bitcoiners love Elon for it.
2021-22 - Elon pumps $DOGE, and says Bitcoin isn’t scalable. Bitcoiners hate him for it.
2022 - Elon buys Twitter on the premise of “bringing back free speech”. Bitcoiners love him for it.
2022-23 - Elon starts a subscription for blue checks. Bitcoiners hate him for it and start Nostr.
2024 - Elon goes all in for Trump. Bitcoiners love him for it.
2025 - Elon launches “DOGE” and starts to gut the federal government but also violates every American’s privacy by accessing their tax records, social security #s, etc.
Bitcoiners are confused.

Yes, but I think there are even bigger obstacles.
- Overall lack of education about Bitcoin and the conflation with crypto shitcoins by the media and most of Congress.
- Inherent conflict of interest for the US government and their incentive to keep the world on a $USD standard
- Distracting culture wars and other political issues that take up all of the oxygen in the room

These are just a few of the executive orders that Trump signed yesterday that were a higher priority for him than SBR or freeing Ross…
“Recognize two sexes”
“Stall TikTok ban for 75 days”
“Rename Mt. Denali and the Gulf of Mexico”
“Ensure states carrying out the death penalty have a sufficient supply of lethal injection drugs”
“Fly American flag at full staff on Monday and future inauguration days” (It was at half staff for Cater’s death)
“Move to end birthright citizenship” (impossible to without amending the constitution, BTW)

@npub1guh…6hjy @npub1qny…95gx On the latest RHR, you played an out of context judiciary hearing clip and claimed there were two Supreme Court nominees being discussed. You actually said it was the nominee to replace RGB. A quick google search would tell you that vacancy was filled by Amy Coney Barrett in 2021. It was highly controversial because she was appointed after Trump lost the election, before Biden was sworn in.
There are currently no openings on the Supreme Court. So, probably not your best material for making “clown world” points.

2023-04-17 20:30:23

Have been reading a lot and listening to podcasts about AI. Mostly, it’s quite scary. An arms race between tech companies and none of them understand how their own AI models even work.
So it’s led me to wonder, if AI takes over, what does that mean for Bitcoin? Is Bitcoin’s cryptography strong enough to withstand an AI hive mind? I have no doubt that a self-aware AGI model could take over all electronic fiat banking if it wanted to.
(Maybe it doesn’t matter because if an AGI decided it would be better off without humans around, we’re all screwed anyways.)

No, he’s correct. If your desire is mass bitcoin adoption, we need existing financial institutions to help facilitate that, especially for institutional buyers.
