All the other nation states are different degrees of oligarchies/centralized/elitist powers of some kind. In my view of course.

Yeah, exactly. One can say perhaps that this move from London to New York is also or if not precisely related to that. Who knows right? Maybe it's likely that the US has gold maybe not all they've described :D but at least some...? eheh
But London...? Honestly I'm really not sure about that.
There was a great podcast with Tucker Carlson about the opacity of gold in general. This is getting to mainstream.
If gold (paper) is uncovered as a scam, then that's a 2008 level scam. And that I think will eventually bring a lot of minds (from other generations, camps, etc) to Bitcoin :) Because people will not know where to turn in this scenario... In other words, if gold is not even safe, then what's the alternative?

In Switzerland people can vote for the rejection and initiation of any and all laws and budgets.
Switzerland is the freest country in the world AND the one with one of best quality of life, social indicators, environment indicators, etc, etc.
The left wing is nowadays completely autocratic.
It's just never going to work. Left wing people have to learn about the Swiss model and actually start collaborating with the right.
The left nowadays is an absolute joke. And this comes from a person that loves permaculture, vegetarianism/veganism, ecology, all beings in the world, renewable energy, etc, etc. You've simply became captured by authoritarianism and you don't understand why there's a counter movement that despises you.
Learn about Swiss democracy and voluntaryism. Then you can become left wing again. There's nothing progressive about your causes. It's all regressive.

I think it's really important and most likely intentional that Trump didn't talk about Bitcoin.
He's surrounded by Bitcoiners, they all know that they would be front run and end up paying 2x or 3x the Bitcoin price.
The way to go is to prepare the trigger perfectly so that somehow they don't get front runned by China or Russia.
The other thing is, this is fundamental to give ordinary people the time to investigate, think and then buy some Bitcoin.
This is probably the best thing that could've happened to Bitcoin right now, in my view.

In a world without gold, gold was the most useful thing ever. Because now you could have a way to price things in a very precise way, that doesn't change. This saves a lot of time and allows truly real and efficient capital allocation, allowing for meritocracy and thus real societal evolution and growth.
That's the power of Bitcoin. It's a way to bring meritocracy to the world.
Sure, some people didn't have gold until after some other people and were at loss because of that. But they eventually got there with their work, intelligence and merit.
Because Bitcoin is so valuable, people won't give it away so easily. But they will, people like to do things. Bitcoin will flow to everyone eventually.

2025-01-14 22:54:44

Whenever I think about this I'm just mind blown.
Bitcoin is money. And the reality is I'd never seen money before.
Life becomes infinitely simpler with money. I guess it's the same exact feeling the first people living in a pre-gold world felt when gold was discovered or became money.
In a world without money, money makes life infinitely simpler. We now have a way to precisely and easily define and exchange value.

And then there's NIP-65 which defines the preferred relays in the note itself. That turns the focus even more on the peer to peer relationship.
If I follow someone, my client already knows that person's private relay because of NIP-65. Which then makes it easier for me to have access to that person's data.

It's not just about censorship, it's about both censorship, ownership AND flexibility.
We need to own the internet and Nostr will reprice the internet (or data) basically.
Just like Bitcoin is repricing the world, Nostr will reprice data (or internet) in itself.
We always are/have the data but we never really own the data because we've never really found a way to do that in scale.
And that's what it Nostr really is. A way to reprice data so that it benefits all.

The system is broken beyond belief and only something like Bitcoin could really make it better.
And just consider for a moment and really think about it, Bitcoin is digital cryptographic capital controlled by no one, understood by any and all. Fully permissionless.
How absolutely crazy is that? And we're using it globally to exchange value with each other.
This just shows that the system is broken beyond belief. Because the people had to create something like Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is one of the greatest inventions of humanity and time will show how it will change the world and the people.

And they say Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme or a scam?
78% of NVIDIA employees are now millionaires
https://m.primal.net/NSrX.png
That's where the money is flowing.
There's several AI GPUs in the market, AMD, Intel, among others. Are they also valued like this? AMD is actually dropping even though it has great cost effective tech. Also there's several new open source very very cheap and effective models like Deepseek (1/50 of OpenAI price), is Nvidia really worth all that?
Obviously not, it's just the world using Nvidia as a store of value.
And then they say Bitcoin is a gamble.

There are a million different proprietary car versions because manufacturers aim to make money through repairs (and other aspects of closed economics).
Bitcoin solves this by funneling capital into a much better system that disincentivizes these kinds of behaviors by offering a superior, more long-term focused alternative to saving (and thus making money).

I hear Ottorino Respighi and I hear Debussy, Ravel but also Final Fantasy, Square, great and old school Japanese video game composers like Nobuo Uematsu and the like.
The Japanese always had incredible great taste and artistry.
https://open.spotify.com/album/2Nm7vx01wJA7fNH6askGry?si=mNKzmZHeRputdvy-sg7h7g
Beautiful album.
Ottorino is from the late 1800s, from north Italy, Bologna. Italy is an incredible country, root of a lot of beauty, perhaps the root of the whole thing (of the West). Especially this part.
Anyways, it's incredible to listen to this, and imagine how life was for these people. I think the Gold standard clearly was superior in art, than what we have today.

I find it completely unbelievable that nobody in my life (I'm in my thirties) ever told me that all fiat societies collapse in a matter of decades.
I mean, this is the single most important piece of knowledge and nobody ever even mentioned this (especially in school)?
Public education in the post 1971 era and especially in the last 30 years (since the Internet was created) is the most fake form of education ever created in history.
Those people are responsible for the biggest brainwash in history.
All (non-technical) education is fake.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. That's the EU. There are some things that are good. Mostly the technological/market standardizations that allow more efficiency. Stuff like a single plug, voltage for all EU, etc.
But these could all be achieved without the extra very heavy government that is the EU.
The EU is a not good thing for anyone. And this is coming from a Portuguese, Portugal is one of the countries that has received the most amount of money from EU.
This money only served to centralized the inequality and unproductivity. It's a complete mess. There are no free lunches nor shortcuts in an economy. Being poor is the natural state of humanity. There's no problem in being poor. The EU is a disease, like fiat is a disease.

I know a lot that do, yes. But the thing is, most people have no idea of what it is and how it affects them.

Hey there! So I consider myself very fond of Buddhism, vegetarianism, permaculture/agroforestry, Bitcoin of course (I think Bitcoin is incredible), great fan of direct democracy (Swiss democracy), lover of eastern and classical philosophy (Greek) but also classic liberal philosophy, libertarianism and voluntaryism. I'm also very into music and art in general.
So not really the typical Bitcoin carnivore maximalist. Whom I don't judge, obviously. And also I have many leftists friends, who I also love and understand the perspective, although I think it's only a very small part of the picture.

Oh yeah, it seems like there's a major correction happening in the world right now. These are historic times.
A court in Shangai, China, just defined Bitcoin as legal, which in turn can potentially allow a lot of Chinese capital to be invested in Bitcoin directly, instead of flowing to real estate, etc.
And Europe is heading for another red pill event. Bitcoin is booming and I have the feeling a lot of people in Europe will discover it in these next months, especially at the higher net worth.

"When I find a whole bunch of people creating new heroes that are just faster centralization, and talk about those leaders as saving their lives through a different from of centralization, it feels like the same old trick being done over and over again". - @npub1s05…eyhe at the following podcast 44m:02s.
This was an awesome podcast at the great @npub1cj8…rz4u Bitcoin podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueZuQ1X3ZWQ
I absolutely whole-heartedly agree with Jeff Booth and think this aspect is truly absolutely fundamental. It seems like we are hard wired for sociability (belonging to the tribe) and that in the extreme leads to the cult of personality. This is not good at all as we've seen countless times in history. Truth should be above any individual.
I think this is also what @npub1sn0…jdv9 was alluding with the idea of "cast a vote but don't join a cult" at the @npub1t8a…56yu conference a few months ago.
While it's phenomenal to see the change that is happening in the US, simultaneously I think it's just a bit better.
Elon Musk wouldn't be Elon Musk without large hordes of government money . That's just a fact. And etc, etc, etc with many people in that camp. But sure, there's no denying this is a positive advance in the global liberty field.
Bitcoin is the greatest free market that ever came in to this world.
We need better leaders BUT most of all we need better systems. Bitcoin is one of the most important better systems we have.
We still live in an 99% extractive economy. The goal is to live in a truly productive and free economy.

Just to reiterate this massive fact. The Trump administration plans to establish a "Bitcoin Purchase Program" of up to 200,000 BTC a year over a five-year period.
This will/would change everything.
It would be the beginning of the Bitcoin "arm's race" by bigger countries and institutions. The first country that does this will basically force other countries to adopt it. If it's the US first, even more so, because of their dominant position as the global reserve.
There are estimations that Bitcoin could rise to $140k within the next year or so, because of this.
Truly remarkable stuff. Truly Year 1 of institutional adoption.

Yeah, I wonder if municipalities could start more digital efforts to streamline votes and/or polls, at the local level. I'm sure somewhere someone could start a kind of open source voting app to at least allow people to give their opinions and polls on every single legislation (at the municipal level).

Exactly. I fully agree! I think it's clear we need source of truths (for anything/everything). Source of truths are inherently centralized (to a degree of course). To a degree of course because if they're too centralized they eventually collapse.

2024-10-29 11:32:12

I was thinking, maybe the problem of redistribution is truly more of a technical problem rather than a philosophical problem.
In other words, wealth is centralized because technically speaking, there simple haven't been other models that made it more decentralized.
I mean, in pratice, for wealth to be truly decentralized (or more redistributed) there will have to be more non-zero sum games/systems (markets, companies, countries, etc, etc) where everybody wins. And that's not a trivial job. It's inherently complex, because true value is inherently complex. And as we know Bitcoin is clearly one of those systems/games.
Bitcoin is a non zero sum game where EVERYBODY wins. The wealthy and the poor. That's truly absolutely incredible.
And definitely not trivial. There's many other of course, but Bitcoin is currently one of purest forms of those systems. It's a phenomenal investment.

It's truly incredible how most people don't understand that they are slaves to a system that will never work for them, a currency that is completely fake, immoral, doesn't care about them.
A system that is extractive, destructive, pro-war, where YOU have zero choice. When they call it democracy, both the right and left, you have zero to say about it.
The biggest lie in the world by the elites is that we live in democracies. The only democracy in the world is Switzerland. And it's already drastically different from everything else.
Switzerland, because they have direct democracy, never reached the levels of insanity that most of the western world is going through. Although yes, they're still connected to insane cultures (the market is global, no country is an insland, they're affected by the Fiat madness too).
Bitcoin, direct democracy, projects like https://freevillages.org/ will help create bubbles of liberty, entrepreneurship and direct democracy around the world.
We have to rebuild everything from the bottom-up, starting at small depopulating municipalities around the world.
Hard money and direct democracy.

Voluntaryism, or in other words, the idea that all interactions between people should be voluntary, is a very simple, powerful and beautiful idea.
Along with the non-agression principle and pacifism, it makes up a very simple frequency that could bring a lot of beauty to the world if people had it in mind more often.
So if there's something that we want to see in the world, we change ourselves, lead by example and thus we voluntarily introduce this idea to the world, without forcing anyone.

One of the biggest implications of the fiat system and the overall top-down authoritarian systems being common and implemented everywhere (i.e, the lack of direct democracy culture in the world, I believe Switzerland is the only democracy in the world) is the absolute destruction of trust between people.
Bitcoin (and Nostr!) in essence are tools to rebuild trust between individuals.

Going back memory lane, does anybody remember or noticed how Covid ended with the Ukraine war?
All of a sudden in February/March 2022, Covid silently ends. What changed? TVs stopped focusing on Covid and instead focused on the Ukraine-Russia war.
This shows that most people do live by what the TV tells us. In other words, TV was and still is the main window to reality. People believe and do what mainstream TV tells them to do (especially the newspapers). If the TV is telling us there's a problem then there's a problem.
This decoupling will take decades and there will be many ramifications.

In way or another :)

Nostr is the real Facebook.
In two decades he'll understand that.
His project lead to a dopamine drug-like addiction of lost souls (or retired people, let's be honest here :D)
Nostr will lead to new countries being formed.
Facebook will inevitably die, like Blockbuster (and others) did.
Nostr will renew itself forever. It is like a new internet in a way.

The only thing with Coracle.social is that I can't seem to mark notifications as read?
It's always showing the same notifications for a long time.
Could I be missing something?
Cheers and thank you :)

"The obstacle is the way" - Marcus Aurelius
Did you know that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy is basically (at it's core and in a simplistic way) repeating mantras that make us embrace the challenges that the world has brought us?
Repeating mantras really works for me when negative thoughts come into my mind.
So yes, try it out. Whenever you feel a negative (hatred, depression, delusion, etc) thought, i.e "this was so unfair", "why did this happen to me?", "I'm not good", etc, etc, etc
Just put it in a:
"The obstacle is the way" by Marcus Aurelius
"I cannot control the waves, but I can learn to surf."
"This too shall pass."
"Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional."
"I am in control of my response."
"Everything will be alright."
Have a great day and remember the obstacle is the way. We're all going through it. That's the way.

Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.
Just wondering, what are the current solutions to mute this ReplyGuy?
Because it seems like he has multiple npubs or at least he's in multiple relays and the Mute doesn't work?
Thank you very much!

Exactly. And then slowly, more purchasing power will mean more free time to make better choices, leading to a higher quality of life, more opportunities, happier people, and thus a better world as a consequence, step by step and gradually.
It's a long term game, it will take time and patience but I think we can definitely get there, step by step, individual by individual.
At least now we have a clear path, we just have to keep working on it, day by day, etc. It's great to have hope, before it was harder, now there's a much clearer path for a better world and that's great :)

We should buy more Bitcoin/Monero and become closer to people in our networks, on a local level.
Local Bitcoin-powered economies, more local entrepreneurship, stronger trust networks, individual to individual, much more entrepreneurship in general, etc. That's what we're building with https://freevillages.org/.
Every individual is valuable and a micro economy on its own. :)

I have the feeling that in this next week we're going to have something like between 100k to 500k Brazilians joining Nostr.
Just throwing this out there.
If you're Brazilian I would say now is the best to bring people over. Talk to your friends, show them Nostr, explain it to them, etc...
It's a great opportunity for Nostr, Bitcoin, free speech, etc.
Because people will be in the frequency of learning new platforms, tools AND they're going to be mad because losing their audience. Explaining them that with Nostr you'll never lose your audience I would say could be very very interesting right now for them.
Perhaps also doing so in Bluesky, etc. i.e "Bluesky is great but with Nostr the architecture is truly uncensorable forever, you'll never your audience ever again, etc, etc"

Yeah, by the way, if I have a home server running Matrix I can easily connect to everyone else's server also right?
So I could run MatrixServer.org for my friends/family/group and then they could use this account to access other groups too right?
Thanks!

Oh yeah, very likely. Some Brazillian friends usually call Brazil a great "libertarian factory" often times, jokingly.
And it really is. I think it's the whole weak, strong, cycle in history happening in our time. And then it's also a big country, etc.
I'm pretty sure more great things will come from our Brazilian brothers and sisters in the future.

Thanks a lot! Checking it out.
I just remembered that it would be especially useful to find something useful for groups.
There's some Telegram groups that will perhaps need to be exported eventually and I was wondering where will everybody go?

Hi #privacy enthusiasts,
It seems like the EU is more and more undemocratically (no referendums EU, you are not representing the people's will...) clamping down on privacy with the ChatControl measure: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/
My question is what do you recommend as an alternative?
1. XMPP
2. Element/Matrix
3. Signal
4. Threema
5. Jami
6. Anything else?
I'm a bit out of the loop and was wondering what do you recommend?
Thanks!

Yes! I think it's related to the Economic Complexity perspective, in other words, the idea (or phenomena really) that it is complexity as in different industries, ideas, skills, philosophies working in synergy create a more resilient and better economy. https://oec.world/en/rankings/eci/hs6/hs96?tab=ranking
This is also found in nature as seen for example in the work of Ernst Gotsch Syntropic Agriculture. Basically the more biodiversity and density of plants, trees, etc, the more productive that area is.
It's fascinating. So yes, idea complexity is what perhaps will work. So in other words Bitcoin, Monero, entrepreneurship, AI, Web3, transparency, tokenization, electronics, technology, etc, etc, the people with a more well-rounded approach will probably create more complex/resilient economies.

The most important thing I see failing time and time again, in myself and in the people around me, is having a clear vision and milestones to achieve it.
I've found that having a 5 year vision (inserted in an overall life vision, dream, etc) of where we would like to be is absolutely fundamental. A vision with what kind of work (career, business, personal, etc), what kind of life, what kind of people around me, etc, etc, with as many specifics as possible, etc, is fundamental to answer the why are we doing anything and to avoid falling into cycles of nihilism, negativity and fear. At least in my personal experience.
Writing a 5 year vision/dream and then daily looking into it and confirm that we're tasks are aligned with it I think has a lot to it. It's the answer to the "what AND why do I really have to do right now?". The question/answer to that question then becomes, "where do I want to be in 5 years (remembering that, bringing that to mind, visualizing, inspiring ourselves on that dream/vision) and then using the left part of the brain "how can I do more today to get to that specific vision more real today"?" becomes the habit and flow. Every task we do today becomes incredibly meaningful that way.
It's a form of CBT also I think. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Visualization and then focus. It's a form of getting into the mindset of abundance AND focusing on the tasks, goals, path. I think we absolutely need to see where we're going to get there. Can we really get anywhere without a map?
The 5 year vision/dream and the intermediate milestones are one of my treatments for fear, nihilism and setbacks. Just remembering/"vibing" in the frequency (imagining, visualizing, consciously seeing it) that there is a possible dream and that I maybe can get there completely changes my daily attitude and mood.
Without a vision, plan, roadmap, we can't go anywhere because we don't know where we want to go.
For example, I really don't think it's a coincidence that Buddhism for example, described 2500 years ago Right View (vision) as the first step to a better life (the 8th fold path). All modern psychological methods are also based around this (although often therapists fail to use it). The Greeks called it "know thyself" and they wrote it at the top of their most prized Temple of Apollo in Athens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_thyself
Do you really know yourself and where you'd like to go? Do you have that written down and remind yourself of that daily?
Writing it down maybe will help see things more clearly, bringing much more focus and clarity to everything. Writing is thinking as they say.
Anyways, just wanted to share these thoughts. Have a great day on your side. Visualize and keep grinding. We're all together on that path :)

The issue with fiat is that it centralized capital drastically.
By controlling the money flow, states have managed to create silos, that either work well or very bad, depending on the competence of their leaders (and everything else).
Bitcoin will create more opportunities for individuals to create their own economies/communities/ecosystems around the world.
This was already possible with digital payment systems but Bitcoin/Monero will take it to another level.

Yeah, I have a website at https://thedemocracyupgrade.org that explains the most important from a libertarian perspective.
I think it’s the most voluntaryist system in the world. And like you said it’s the freest country in the world.
My argument is that it’s the referendum system.
