The thing I’ve never understood about the argument of quantum computing breaking bitcoin is that in this hypothetical world bitcoin would be the last thing anyone should be worried about. This is way above my pay grade and maybe I’m missing something but my understanding is literally every computer system that uses current encryption standards would also break. So idk maybe cracking keys to nuclear systems or the global banking system is probably what you should be concerned with, not magic internet money. But I’m just a pleb, what do I know.

“Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.” - Teddy K.

If I had to guess, 90% or more of people in America don’t know what the word usury means and have likely never heard it before. It’s literally been scrubbed from society.

Bitcoin will drive you insane because you’re constantly exposed to people who are so smart they’re completely retarded

Yo @jack mallers

A sovereign debt crisis, hot war in Iran, rapidly rising energy costs, the most deflationary technology to ever exist, jobs getting cut everywhere, a commercial real estate market in shambles. This is one gnarly cocktail.

Quote that stuck with me from @Lyn Alden latest newsletter: “Empires don’t voluntarily downsize. Instead, they tend to take the mask off, lash out, and aggressively seek other places to offload those problems.“

Like many others have already articulated, the Charlie Kirk assassination yesterday was a turning point for me personally. It shocked me and instilled a sense of fear in me that quite honestly, I needed. Last night and this morning the only thing I can think about is the safety and security of the people closest to me. That is my number one priority. Unfortunately, that led me to the conclusion that I will likely no longer use this npub since I’ve doxxed myself. This makes me feel extremely sad. Nostr has allowed me to be my true and authentic self and I thought I would be able to balance that with personal privacy, but I currently don’t feel it is wise to be putting myself out here like that. To everyone in this community, myself included, it’s time to go full cypherpunk. Re-read Eric Hughes manifesto if you have to. We need to quit fucking around with the fiat games. That world is collapsing as we speak. What will your MSTR shares be worth when the dollar is worthless? Now is the time to embrace open protocols and freedom tech. Not because we want to, but because we have to. Who knows maybe at some point in the future I might pop back on here but until then: see you space cowboy…

Stay vigilant out there fam. Rough seas lie ahead. People are the most irrational and dangerous when they’re operating out of fear and feel like they have nothing to lose.

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Charlie Kirk will be remembered as a hero.

Spotted at local meetup. The ex-sneakerhead in me can’t deny these are heat

Imagine thinking the US government will just sit back and allow MSTR, Coinbase, Fidelity, or any publicly traded US company to “own” millions of coins as the dollar collapses…

New Earl album is so dope. He’s going down as a legend

$110k BTC makes no sense in this current climate. On a risk adjusted basis sats are an absolute steal right now
