I’m reposting this Note To Self from the first day of the ETFs that when “everyone” is pointing to a bull-run, things overwhelmingly have a way of disappointing “everyone”. Market Sentiment is a powerful indicator. (I was referring to the FEELING or sentiment at the end of Bull Markets, fwiw, not a belief that we are actually at the end of a Bull Market. Far from that.)

Got censor-denied posting this on Twitter, so if I stop post here you will know why: “If you don’t now understand that the US Gov’t is an occupied Army on American soil against American citizens… Have you ever read a book?”

It’s mind-boggling to me, but we are now seeing intelligent, coherent journalistic investigations into how NAFTA was the initial stage of the WEF yanking the first under-pinnings of the USA. I lived this, and it seemed insane. NAFTA was undermined by the fact that it’s most vocal proponent was short and had big ears. Yet was 100% prescient. “Machine tools – machines that cut or form metal – are the heart of industrial civilization. Sometimes called “mother machines” (because they’re machines that make other machines), machine tools are required to make almost everything. Nearly every manufactured good is made using machine tools, or by machines which were made using machine tools:”

What Happened to the US Machine Tool Industry?

Machine tools – machines that cut or form metal – are the heart of industrial civilization.

This. Senators, members of Congress, called Gary in to testify & justify - over fucking Twitter. There’s nothing wrong w/ that, because that’s how we evidently want our world to operate. But if so, it must be Decentralized. Personally, I’d PREFER that important Gov’t communications happened over open-source, cryptographically signed media. That’s not a pipe-dream, it could be enacted tomorrow. We have the tech, we have the need…we just don’t have the desire. View quoted note →

Asian markets now either know more than we do about an ETF, or are being coaxed into getting rekt. My sats are in cold storage. So pass the popcorn.

Only polling on Damus: Last year I trialed Whirlpool turning 1mill sats into 9 different 100k sat utxos (cuz fees borked the last one). Now, I don’t want to combine those sats, as that would render useless the forward-privacy I paid for. Yet I don’t want ANY 100k sat-lots going forward, because of fear they’ll be orphaned by fees. So looking for suggestions (& Damus doesn’t allow for polls). 1) Combine them and accept the loss of privacy? 2) Spend them quickly, and accept my Whirlpool experience was just a fad? 3) Leave them and hope for lower fees in the future?

After @BTC Sessions stream today (which was Amazing, so much respect for the man), I’m done with Youtube. I somehow got censored during the stream, no idea why, I’m not edgy, doesn’t matter….youtube definitively rejected me. And I didn’t even know it happened, because I was “shadow banned”, so I saw all my comments, but NOBODY else saw them. I had to figure it out by asking questions that no-one ever answered. It was humiliating. So I’m done with youtube. Fucking done. I want nothing to do with it. Any of my 170+ subs will be unsubscribed. I fucking hate this…but its been a short time coming, and it needs to happen. I won’t follow Bitcoiners on Youtube from now on.

Can I ask a kind pleb to send me like, 10 sats or something? On Damus I had to work a go-around to send zaps, and that seems to be working… …but I never receive anything. So I desperately need to know if its the system that’s broken or if it’s me that’s broken. 1 response is all that’s necessary, and I’ll zap them back, pinky-swear. Thx in advance.

Hey, for fun, what are the 5 Oceans in the World? No websearches, just a trivia question.

Just an idle thought… In less than a year I’ll know whether there will be a US election in 2024. Presently, I give it a 40/60 chance. So at the first sign that it might be postponed/cancelled/etc, I’ve got my Plan B in place to gtfo the USA. I won’t do that ahead of time, because I love my people, my country…and I don’t want to be a foreigner in a foreign place as the 4th Turning hits the world. But while I love my country, I fear my government. So I do have my bug-out bag in my closet.

Great points, and I can’t find more signal as yet on this story. My gut feeling is it’s true. We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t own a Bloomberg terminal, so I can’t vouch for the CUSIP change. Again, we’ll see. But I believe we’re on the precipice of banking collapse, because only an NPC doesn’t foresee this. View quoted note →

UBS may have just imploded: “UBS Group AG is a multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Co-headquartered in the cities of Zürich and Basel, it maintains a presence in all major financial centers as the largest Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world. Yesterday, UBS appears to have FAILED-TO-DELIVER on Bonds that were due. According to rapidly-spreading reports, not only has UBS Failed-to-Deliver on Bonds, but The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) reportedly took action to COVER-UP the UBS Failure-to-Deliver; DTCC allegedly *** D E L E T E D *** the CUSIP Numbers for those bonds, so as a matter of record, those bonds "no longer exist." Apparently, they're simply "gone."”

If there’s anything I know for sure and can bet on it’s that Human Beings firmly, unrelentingly believe ourselves to be independent Individuals… …but triggered by external forces into Herd Mentality, we become a tribe that will destroy each other with our hands and teeth. Realizing this, I would absolutely and unrelentingly use it against all of you if I had the power to do so.

Literally triggered 15 seconds ago: “Oh FUCK ME…I need to learn about ‘Air Replies’ now???
