Did you know you can buy a house and #bitcoin at the same time without spending any of your bitcoin? One of the conditions of the credit system is that you can borrow money in the form of a mortgage. Inflation will make your mortgage more affordable over time. When you buy a house that requires some work, you can borrow more to fix it up. When you do most of the work yourself you can buy a lot of bitcoin with what you borrowed. If you then just hang tight for four years, pay your installments, hodl your bitcoin, you can enjoy the benefits of both. Just stacking bitcoin with your income works fine, but stacking with a mortgage is probably going to give you a lot more bitcoin. This is not advice, but it is an option you have.

I retired at 37 because I became the autonomous owner of all of my time. I think everyone would benefit from going through this process. Retirement doesn't mean end of career, it just means 100% choice. Once you own your time you can sit and think. Creativity requires you to sit and think, be bored, start working on what you believe in.

You work your ass off. The return isn't great but you plow through anyway because you lack an alternative. You're selling your time. You're selling so much time that you don't want to think about anything when you're free, you just want to be free. You don't think about #bitcoin.

Internet adoption went slower than #bitcoin adoption because the Internet didn't have the Internet but #Bitcoin does.

Is the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) some fancy rebranding of austerity? Of course cuts need to happen, because efficient use of government institution is a priority. Less is more. But still, I think DOGE is being framed as something more than it is.

I think the revolution is each country discovering in its own way what the best #bitcoin strategy is, or the lack of one. As a result, some nation states will not last as long as others, and that’s a good thing.

Satoshi Nakamoto changed the rules of the game by introducing the world to #Bitcoin. Those who read the rules have started playing. Those who haven't read the rules yet are still playing by the old rules.

If bitcoin can't win on its own incentives it will never win. Fuck your president and his shitcoin stockpile, fuck your state and fuck your nationality. Bitcoin doesn't give a shit, nor should you. We are in this together, wherever you live.

When you're pro SBR, you're partisan to the US government to outlive you.

Economy is the free exchange of value. This is a natural phenomenon, but for too long it has been considered a man-made phenomenon. It is only the monetization of the exchange that we’ve called economy of the past 170 or so years, but I would rather speak of the exchange of information, monetizable or not, as economy. The term itself has been around since Ancient Greece, but the current definition that I'm contesting isn't that old. All information has value, some of it is practically worthless, but all information weighs in on the scale. Not all information is monetizable. Whether your low tire pressure will kill you next time you drive your car is valuable, but how many leaves are growing on a bush may not be so valuable. Knowing how to estimate the amount of leaves is perhaps valuable for a crop grower. The value of information is relative and subjective, it can change for a person or a group when conditions change. Economy in a broader sense is the exchange of information, we select what is valuable to us. Some of it is free, some of it is monetizable. The monetization itself is an exchange of information, a ledger (that which we call currency) is a record that records the exchange of numbers in the record. Whether that ledger deals in absolute numbers or a flexible amount doesn’t matter, it is the information of who owns how much of it, a ledger can keep track of the amount and frequency of transactions. Bitcoin is just this, but with an absolute pool of liquidity. Bitcoin differs in many ways from other currencies, it may even be called money as well. None of the characters of Bitcoin matter for the existence of the condition that leads to the emergence of economical expression of behavior, which is the exchange of information. Bitcoin just makes it fair, based on access to the network, limited supply, lack of centralized control and uncensorable nature of transactions. Examples of monetizable information that are evident but not straightforward: your heart rate is measurable and the device for it is sold, your data is harvested online and sold, the unknown is being researched and funds flow into the creation of discovery, sensors in your car measure the road for your safety and those devices were included in the price of your car, statistical information is gathered worldwide and being turned into spreadsheets which are used to compete for efficiency and profit, efficiency itself is information and lucrative for anyone who understands it.

Self importance is an illusion, it is hindering you and you are a slave to it unless you rid yourself of it. Who do you serve?
