For a freer society with free individuals working voluntarily. Developer, technology, business, cooperatives, networker, etc. Based in Portugal. https://linktree.com/citizenpedro #europe #portugal #spain I also like Switzerland and think it has by far one of the most voluntaryist systems in the world. The medium is the message. Long live #nostr. Feel free to send messages :)
Could this be the day we see the Mag7 (and other stocks) and Bitcoin decoupling? #bitcoin #economy

What if gold doubles to 10k or even something like 15k with the AI bubble inflows (so something like 20T to 30T USD) and then eventually it also pops because nobod has that gold also? So either the numbers would be there or they would be so devalued that it would be like Weimar Germany. In essence what I'm asking is what if we really are in Weimar Germany and we're really just trying to find what is money as a species and in real time? I'm referring specifically to the wild gold rise. There's so much money and it moves so fast in the digital world. What if we're heading for a moment where the cards have to be shown? Because Weimar Germany happened like that, it was a matter of months. #economy #bitcoin

Very strong ETF inflows yesterday. Could it be that there are a lot of leveraged bets still and they are still unwinding? Regardless what this says to me is that institutional big players know what Bitcoin is and are taking a position. This is not trivial. image #bitcoin

It's pretty wild to think about what's happening currently. I mean the connection between Bitcoin, Lightning Network, Cashu and AI, Nostr, etc, basically open a world of functionality most people have no idea how important it is. It seems pretty niche mostly because people are looking at/for vertical (fiat) scaling and not seeing the sovereign and decentralization vertical aspect. This is basically tech that will make individuals more free, with more opportunities to collaborate, connect, work, etc, with the ability to live and trade anywhere. It's just that people's attention is solely focusing on the fiat pyramid and nothing else. #bitcoin #ai #nostr #politics #society

I always thought Chomsky was just another statist, socialist, etc. I was wrong. I haven't dug deep but he seems to be just your general left libertarian (left voluntaryist). Lately I've been getting into this philosophy. A left libertarian I would say is someone that believes in more ways to define capital, not just from the old powers but something that could be created by the people today. In other words, they seem to be more open to rebuilding power structures, and thus are more open to creating something out of nothing, for poor people, etc. More innovative, creative, etc. Left libertarian = they are okay with old capital (private property, Bitcoin, etc) AND are open to new forms of capital (why don't we use new forms of money like co-created money (G1 currency), create new voluntaryist relations in this cooperative, structure, place, land, etc) They are voluntaryists, so they don't want to take anything by force. Otherwise they wouldn't be voluntaryists. This is fundamental. People often think that left libertarians want to take property. This is not correct. They want to persuade people with new models. If they wanted to use the state to take property they would be socialists, statists, not libertarians/voluntaryists. They want to create better alternatives, not take power from people. This is good. It's pretty interesting stuff. Here's for example Chomsky talking about the problems with statism, socialism, communism and capitalism. Firing at all of them with perfect aim: What do you think? #philosophy #politics

One of the most incredible things about Bitcoin is that you can use it anywhere. You can literally travel the world forever, never worrying if the systems will take you down for whatever reason (of course you can go to jail, but still they can't really take it from you). People don't really think about this enough. This is freedom in an authoritarian world like ours. #bitcoin

Trump's greatest victory in this mandate might just be making real estate more available to people. This by lowering interest rates, providing more supply by reducing institutional demand, providing an easier path for that capital to flow into Bitcoin, etc. If they solve that AND healthcare, the game changes dramatically in 2028 for the Republicans. What do you think? #bitcoin #politics

Everything points to basically an avalanche of free money in the next years. QE 'til infinity. #bitcoin

Bitcoin will generate a much less unequal world than the current one. And that alone is mind-blowing. Very ironic that what many see as a capitalist or neoliberal dream is actually the most realistic tool we have for reducing global inequality. #bitcoin

Very interesting piece written in 1923 by Errico Malatesta called: Why Fascism Won (in Italy) "Fascism, which synthesizes all the reaction and calls back to life all the sleeping atavistic ferocity, won because it had the financial support of the rich bourgeoisie and the material help of the various governments that wanted to use it against the pressing proletarian threat; it won because it found against it a tired mass, disillusioned and made helpless by fifty years of parliamentary propaganda; but above all it won because its violence and its crimes have certainly provoked the hatred and spirit of revenge of the offended but have not aroused that general reproach, that indignation, that moral horror which it seemed to us should arise spontaneously in every gentle soul." Today in the world we have two main strong groups, the left and the right. They are both Cantillon masters, controlling the printer. #bitcoin

It really just occurred to me that people will need another unit of account once the USD inflates too. I know this is a basic argument/point among Bitcoiners but it really just occured to me how fundamental Bitcoin will be. It'll be the new unit of account. Nobody will ever use gold as a unit of account. Because, culturally, people need a unit of account.
