Any executive order-that you don't want immediately reversed by a future administration-requires legislation to have a lasting impact. The SBR was never going to be a one and done order that put the United States on the right track. The SBR legislation from Senator Lummis has the long term vision of what a reserve could achieve for the country, and is not reliant in any way on an executive order. The right kind of executive order could help for sure, but is not necessary. The bitcoin centric nature of the legislation comes down to credibility in achieving objectives for the United States that isn't bettered by adding centralized altcoins into the reserve. The reckless spending of my lifetime-and subsequent debt crisis we find ourselves in-can be eased by the United States adopting bitcoin in a reserve fashion. It's a low time preference plan that only works with a monetary asset with a fixed supply and unchanging monetary policy. There's only one of those in existence. The SBR is far from dead, and doesn't need an executive order to succeed. Any EO with a basket of crypto is extremely unlikely to find any companion legislation and wouldn't achieve the time horizon necessary to have an impact.

“Scum” This is an absolute incredible promise kept from President Trump. He’s saved Ross Ulbricht’s life. Ross was deserving of mercy.

Gm. It’s Ross Ulbricht day.

The culture in the UK is so foreign to this Texan. Child rape in Ancient Greece has an (gross) ethos behind it, and it wasn’t shunned or secretive. But in the UK the people who revere child rape are secretive about their motivations. I’d love to learn more…

Merry Christmas from a load of Cole’s.

BIG if true.

Because I know everyone here are huge college football fans, I want to confirm that both SMU and Texas are in the college football playoff.

Elizabeth Warren (aka Pocohantas) has been running a protection racket for big banks in return for politically motivated hit jobs on individuals and businesses which she and the Biden administration disapprove. She kills their competition, they kill her political opponents.

Since at least 4chan, every uncensored public forum sheds leftist arguments within a year, or when the forum grows past low 100’s of thousands of users. Without severe moderation, socialist ideas collapse under the slightest scrutiny and retreat to heavily censored spaces.

Prior to Starlink, in 2016/17 I built this in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. Took me about 5 months to figure out. A cheap solar panel, a couple car batteries in a tool box, and microwave about 200 yds to receivers in n the house. Tried fiber lines etc…and always had power issues. Linked up to a cell tower about 19 miles away, and got ~15 mbps down. Never any downtime in 5 years. Then Starlink showed up and I plugged it in, kinda sorta pointed a dish up, and had 140 mbps down in like 3 minutes. Still amazed several years later.

Not engaging, or caring, about politics locally or otherwise is not stoic. It’s NPCism. It doesn’t take billions to be a live action player.

Casually marketing ketamine IV’s (not to mention ayahuasca) to the general public is insane.

Vibe today.

Highly recommend.

Please treat @HODL like you always have as he recovers from the assault I put on him. Doctors believe he may have permanent loss of running the football effectively. Don’t stare at the wounds, that would be rude.
