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

Silver down 30%, gold down 10%. Wild times. #bitcoin #economy

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

Open your heart, it's in your head

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

Just the beauty of these soundtracks and the mood blows my mind

Left-wing libertarians have everything in common with right-wing libertarians. #bitcoin #nostr

Very interesting piece written in 1923 by Errico Malatesta called: Why Fascism Won (in Italy)

The Anarchist Library

Why Fascism Won

Errico Malatesta Why Fascism Won 1923 Translation by João Black. Originally published as “Perché il fascismo vinse” in Libero Accordo, August...

"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.

"A society is humane only if it allows people to stop performing without losing dignity." A humane society should allow for status exit. Renunciation must be possible if a society is to remain psychologically survivable over the long term. All material only societies die off.

The solution will always be local first. People around us are fundamental. There's always a bridge we can create with someone, isn't there?
