A beef farmer by day and a Bitcoin node manager at night, I'm amazed by the potential of Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and Ecash. When money isn't scarce, everything else is. All animals are equal except those who print currency. Other experiences I enjoy talking about: Solar, lithium, Home Assistant, Ubuntu, Tollgate Basically a Bitcoiner, Educator & Angel Investor.

Why do cats just play with mice? Nature is hard on mice. This is called the law of the jungle.

Gold stores value over time. Paper money makes gold easier to move over space. Bitcoin does both--that is why it is the fastest horse in the currency race.

Politicians print money. Scarcity is real. Q: Is it right for people to use currency that gets debased? A: We should do our own thinking! Three years ago the world was in a Covid-19 pandemic. Now the British Parliament has told us that the vaccines were not safe. In Canada most people are not taking the boosters anymore, because even if they do they still get Covid, besides there is a 10% risk of vax injury. The reason why the Canadian government froze Canadian bank accounts was to stop the trucker’s protest over mandatory vaccines. The protest got shut down. There are literally zero freedoms that can be meaningfully protected if you are forced to use a money that someone else can alter, freeze, print, or surveil at their discretion and/or without your consent. Freedom to me means I can work and give it to whom I would like to. Slavery means I can work and I am forced to give it to the homeless via threat of having my bank account frozen. I don’t disagree we have a housing problem in Canada, what I disagree with is how much money printing is going towards the problem. That is where the rubber meets the road. Why tax, when you can debase the currency? In my opinion taxation is more a matter of control than a means for the government to distribute wealth fairly. Where do you spend most of your time and energy? In a system trying to control you with fear and division? (And is it getting worse?) Or A system based on truth (only, ever 21 million bitcoin), I think the later gives me hope for a more abundant future. Sure people might not notice a 2% theft, but now that it is between 5% and 12% we are starting to notice. image
