If you are an extremely macro person and love to understand how fast the train is going - follow and read @Lyn Alden book - Broken Money. Take a weekend - turn your phone off get a note pad and get ready to have your mind fucked. Thanks Lyn for the signal always. #bitcoin #hardmoney #nothingstopsthistrain #soundmoney

For the normie - where the hell do you start buying BTC - (i know what to do) but I’m putting myself in their shoes.. Coinbase,Binance,River,Swan,Strike and the rest are genuinely so clunky.. KYC is such a grift.. As much as i absolute hate banks - if they added a tab on their online banking where you can buy BTC and withdrawl to self custody (education is needed hugely on this topic) I’m thinking of someone who is like 40-55 year old who the penny has dropped and that the dollar is absolutely fucked but they aren’t very technically advanced - they worked a normal “blue collar” job - they have a 401K a mortgage that’s almost paid off but they realize they might wanna explore BTC. Where would one start? BTC White paper is FAR too technical - humans are inherently lazy. Books in my opinion to get far more information than any CT thread.. @Keysa - Simplest Bitcoin Edu - from a 5 year old to a grandpa @Jeff Booth - this guy is an absolute legend (he’s been on somewhere 1500 podcasts) - everytime i listen to him i feel like there is some hope in the world. @npub1w69y...zltw - gradually then suddenly (just read the book) @npub1d3f4...r4xv - The Big Print (i mean it’s happening but the BIG event is coming and it’s gonna be hardcore and make 2008 look like a rookie event. @Saifedean Ammous - The ultimate book - but my opinion - this book needs to be read but really concentrate and maybe 3-4 times to get it -(he also has other books which all tie in together) Please for the love of BTC - don’t shitcoin. If the coin has a CEO,marketing team and HR department - it’s a scam 100%. Some will last longer (ETH,XRP,SOL and the 20 000 other that are made daily) What route would you say is the best for someone to go on? #bitcoin #hardmoney #soundmoney #asknostr

Whenever laws become dysfunctional, the cure appears to be the same for each affliction: keep projecting increasing amounts of physical power in increasingly clever ways until symptoenergyefficientms improve. As and peaceful as it would be to remedy the exploitation, abuse, and neglect of laws using courts of law, it clearly doesn’t work in all cases – else there would be no war in the first place. #bitcoin

Nothing but the truth… ETF purchases are like buying a salad at MCDonalds. Get the real thing or don’t both. #selfcustody #hardmoney #bitcoin

BTC is so different from when it was a bunch of long haired geeks explaining magic internet money.. Now it’s the lowest of the low people raising capital to sell paper bullshit so they can get more BTC for them selves.. I miss the Andries Antonopoleous and 100 people max conferences - fuck WBTC (Justin Sun) and his Boeing Business jet..and scammers selling gold stocks (Peter Schiff or whatever his name is.. few genuine oaks around in my opinion - Bakalava dude @Mandrik - Erik Cason @Erik Cason - @ODELL @npub1w69y...zltw @Marty Bent @jack @jack mallers (dude was mining in nappies) @Danny Knowles destroying the podcast game.. Anyone know where that dude/dudess GUMMO is - oak reckoned at like $30 000 he has $7 billion worth of BTC… ohh and Mr tantrum himself @HODL - legend!! Faucets were literally like lotto tickets - now we have presidents (irrelevant which side u on) buying BTC (well some of them) - OGs cashing 80 000BTC for FIAT - like WTAF… how dumb can you be? Maybe 500-750 and then live the rest of time like a G.. Anyways hopefully the path gets more OG than bullshit.. humans are funny creatures.. #bitcoin #asknostr #hardmoney

Rulers who exploit rules of law can be compelled to stop using physical power, in what’s often called revolution. Participants who can’t be trusted to follow the rules can be compelled to follow them using physical power, in what’s often called enforcement. #bitcoin

Understanding the systemic differences and tradeoffs between war and law helps explain why the application of physical power is so effective at restoring law and order when rules-based societies inevitably become dysfunctional. #bitcoin

The intent of law is noble, but for reasons that are exhaustively explored in this thesis, the inegalitarian and trust-based nature of law-based social structures make them systemically insecure, hence every corrupt or oppressive government to have ever existed. Law-based societies are prone to reaching a hazardous state over time, leading to substantial lossesfor their populations. #bitcoin
