On ‘In God We Trust’ 👀 “This inscription is either a brazen deception or a chilling confession. If it exists merely to pacify the public, then it is an outright lie: a calculated illusion constructed to obscure the system’s true nature. But if taken at face value, it reveals something far more concerning: the system’s governors do not merely manage money; they fancy themselves gods, wielding control over wealth, prosperity, and the very lives of millions with divine impunity. And here lies the cruel irony of modern progress: even the ancient pagans knew they were not gods.” -Modern Chains

A weak man can consume. A strong man can create. A weak woman dissolves. A strong woman generates.

Some say monetary debasement is like slavery. They make the same error my hypothetical friend Bob does saying, “This is like sitting on a pinecone.” No, Bob… you sat on a pinecone. There is no “like” here. Debasement is slavery.

Each of us is a rational moral agent. Even if we would rather pretend not. That’s empowering. And even more terrifying.

the transition is a messy and tough process, but I think when we denominate our lives in bitcoin, it kind of defuses the anxiety bomb. If you are always converting your work and the value you create in the world into bitcoin, and spending bitcoin, you always benefit. Cheap sats or more purchase power. The circular economy is ideal, but even if we are working a fiat job, “spend and replace” still de-energizes the fiat world. we want all the energy from fiat world to flow into bitcoin. it will slosh back and forth in the transition, the daily volitility, but the long term straight 45 up and to the right growth line is being driven by one singular principle: moral money is more valuable than immoral money. Every little cut we put in the beast helps. We will take fiat and central banking down

Moving through life not being afraid of being wrong, because u can simply learn 🤣 when presented with stronger arguments, is a super power.

“made” 👀 what is made at the poker table? trading, shorts longs options etc, its all a redistributive game. Same end that the socialists and communists, just different means. played a redistributive game and came out ahead. it’s a win-lose game. his gains were another’s losses. I have no hate, but I’m tired of the euphemisms that hide the nature of our economic reality. In 1971 we completely severed the creation of value from the accumulation of money. As a result, people think the only way to get ahead is to win a trade, win the lotto, or win a law suit when u get hit by a semi. With bitcoin, we dont have to play that shitty game. We can now get ahead by creating value in the world by servicing others. win win, value for value games that create abundance and prosperity. We need people playing that game! That’s the entire point of bitcoin. not “speculatively invest” in bitcoin to take fiat profit in a win lose, but to play the win win. i’m actually grateful for this entire shit show we call modernity. If not for it, moral philosophers would be out of work! I would have nothing to write about and dedicate my life to 🤣

Syllogisms: 1) If something is broken, then it has stopped. 2) Nothing stops this train. 3) Therefore, Modus Tollens, the train is not broken. 1) The train is the monetary system. 2) The train is not broken. 3) Therefore, Modus Ponus, the monetary system is not broken.

The accumulation of value divorced from its creation is unnatural and contrary to natural law. 👀Traders, gamblers, money changers, but I repeat myself.👀

“Nothing stops this train.” P “The train is broken.” ~P I know logic is a bitch, but we can’t have P and ~P. Let’s keep P because it’s true. Throw away ~P cause it’s false. And replace it with Q: The train is headed in the wrong direction. ie. the train is morally evil. What do you think nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ? Can we sacrifice the macro for the moral?
