The money printer is the One Ring. Democrats and Republicans are Boromir. They think they can harness the power of the One Ring for their “noble” causes. Bitcoin is Mount Doom. View quoted note →

The government is Sauron. The banks are Saruman.

Travel is overrated. Go to the gym.

Since nostr posts can’t be undone or deleted, every nostr client should display a warning “do you really want to broadcast this dumb shit to the entire world?” before it actually sends.

Bitcoin makes you hyper aware of scammers across all domains, not just cryptocurrency. You can instantly recognize their mannerisms, sales tactics, style, etc.

Just cracked open @Aaron van Wirdum's new book.

IT’S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR! 🐊 🐊 Very proud of my alma mater (although this should’ve been done long ago).

Government makes so little sense, they took the department that governs outdoors stuff like national parks and natural resources, and called it the Department of Interior.

If Musk hadn’t bought twitter, nostr would be much bigger now.

It’s crazy to me that showing up late to a hotel booking (not extending it, just arriving a day or more later) incurs a penalty or potential cancellation.

The real test of a woman’s loyalty is whether she’s willing to do thirty years to life behind bars for crimes you committed.

We’re entering the season where normies lie that they “used to be into bitcoin,” or that they “used to mine bitcoin,” way back in like 2011. But when you ask them simple questions (what kind of miner did you run? where did you buy your bitcoin?), it’s always “I can’t remember the details, it was so long ago.”

I’ve never pruned a bitcoin node, and probably never will. It feels wrong, like tearing chapters out of the Bible.

I gotta get into the bottled water business, the profit margin on that stuff must be enormous.

Very unpopular opinion: the elderly (say, 65+) should not be allowed to vote. They know they have a limited time left on earth, so their incentive is to suck as much out of the system via entitlement programs (Medicare/Social Security) before that day comes. Which, of course, comes at the expense of younger generations, who must pay for all that spending. The young & middle aged don’t have this perverse incentive, because they know they’ll be old someday. A major reason we have massive budget deficits is because the elderly are so politically active and vote in much higher proportion than the youth.
