#Bitcoin is doing its thing. And if you are worried, you have not completed your first cycle yet. See you on the other side.
#EVs are #Fiat money garbage. Hard money like #Gold and #Bitcoin economics would automatically wipe it out. Most of today's technological and scientific advancements are bonkers, including #LEDs, #mRNA, #IoT, #EVMs and even #AI.
Capital invested in providing a currency is a tax upon the productive resources of the community. ... What is, then, to be said of a monetary system which did not obviate the evil consequences of barter, although enormous capital was withdrawn from productive sources, to act as a single circulator of commodities? Diseased money is worse than want of money.
- B. R. Ambedkar, 1947, p 19, The Problem of the Rupee. 
All money 💵 today has infinite supply. You continue to work hard and yet won't acquire any real wealth 💰. Who steals it? 😡
Its #Inflation and how the fixed supply of #bitcoin fixes this.

Just another ordinary day.
@Bisq user had a #bitcoin trade in #India for 0.0259, the highest till date. 2025 is year #NonKYC peer to peer bitcoin #INR trades. The support on Bisq is always super. Cancel your crypto exchanges. Buy real bitcoin and hold it in your custody.
The worse is yet to come. There is a complete plan on how to change #bitcoin for supporting #BitVM and other garbage projects. This gang chooses to keep it from the community, only disclosed by PRs.
The argument is never about Core vs #Knots at all. It is to force the node runners into compliance. Node runners are free to choose any of the other maintained forks, to show their disapproval.
#blockstream too had used the same method to approve their PRs for Lightning support.
#BitcoinCore v30 is a #shitcoin, merged by a shitcoiner.
Twenty One is not having exciting times. Its 40k BTC, given by Tether, seems to be owned by Celcius.

The #bitcoin developers and node runners are in a serious OP_RETURN argument for last 3 months. While here in #India no one has any clue.
Summary news on bitcoin reserve companies - from the fiat side
This is not a critic of all #libertarian principles but as it stands today with context of #India, its will stay impossible.
If you want to reach #libertarian society, sorry for the bad news... you will have to walk from where you stand. There is no airdrop honey. You will have to walk with the people around you and you will have to convince them.
Saying that pain is required, these powerless malnourished people should suffer so "YOU" can reach that place? That's awfully selfish. Is that libertarian? I think it is.
Your transition plans are funny. First thing to do is shut down #RBI (Reserve Bank of India) - thats not an answer, thats much more misery and havoc. From all political ideals, this is the worst of all. The idea is bad cause banks already break RBI the rules and do all kinds of nonsense. And without the last regulator, who will loose most? Only those powerless people. They will not just loose their fiat wealth but also all their assets and lands. Standing beside a regulator does not mean we love it, we are just taking shelter. Show something better and we will go there. But if there is a flooded river on the way, no thank you. I love RBI for today.
What’s the other suggestions for transition? None given.
Asking transition plans gets them all philosophical. It requires burning all gov and its institutions to the ground on day 1.
What is this fetish of property rights?
A tribal community has no personal property rights. They are healthy, educated and live with harmony of their env. They don't travel much and eventually become immune to all the diseases of their env. Property rights is not even the most imp desire for people in India. Here we need food. Good, safe, healthy food. The children who did not die before their 5th birthday due to malnutrition, most of those have stunted growth. That’s already 70-80% of the voters today.
Compared to today’s #India, #China is doing much better. They get gov housing, food and safety. And work (respectable or not). And ant colony is also socialist. The bees are also socialist. Tribals were all socialist. Nobody had property rights. Even tigers have territories. And they also have to continue to fight for it to keep it. Nobody gives them the rights. And these are part of the same nature, following what is called natural law. If your version of natural law is different, then it’s not even natural. Please name it something else.
Till libertarians can show a good plan to move forward, with the current physical and mental capacity of its voters, they will always choose #socialism.
That’s why libertarian system never got to try out here or anywhere.
Attaching libertarian ideals and claiming bitcoin is also wrong. #Bitcoin is neutral. People are free to interpret it as they like. Whatever can motivate you, it's all good. But to enforce your interpretation, that itself is against freedom.
Gandhi also asked people to take pain but he had to invent a new method. It took him 20 years after coming from SA to just travel quietly all through the country to first learn about his powerless people. Not start teaching them. Staying humble. He was very wealthy and could have just run a signal group. But he walked his words. I'm not comparing libertarian to him but giving an example that people can have the courage to take some pain, but need leaders to have a good plan, and should walk with them.
Nobody cares about that librarian/libertarian yelling from his mansion balcony.
