The biggest troll you can play on people of the future is burying steel seed plates for a shitcoin wallet.

Setup missus sister and her husband with a Nunchuk multisig today so they could jointly control their wedding gift Sats. @Blockstream Jade hardware is painful for newbies. Basic setup doesn’t allow a passphrase which I wanted them to have just for security of keeping their 12 words, and won’t persist the keys without using their blind oracle + pin. That is major friction so for a noob it makes spending seem complicated with extra verification every reboot of the HW, but on the plus side, at least they’re not going to be moving those Sats around. I regret going that way for them; Passport or Coldcard would have been better, even Tapsigners. @nunchuk_io though is fantastic! Even for noobs, they got the interface straight away, added the keys and setup the wallet themselves and imported the setup to the other phone via microsd card. I know Bitcoiners love Sparrow and for good reason, but Nunchuk is right up there IMO. Swept their wedding Sats straight to their new wallet no problem, and was really intuitive for their Zoomer minds. View quoted note →

Ultrasound money mETHead: “Why is existing (or prior) supply relevant?” Also ultrasound money mETHead: “You really are brain dead.” Imagine not understanding sound money, going to bat for a shitcoin who issuance since inception was controlled by Vitalik, and then calling other people “brain dead” 🤣 It takes a special kind of stupid to be in #Ethereum in 2025.

Checked in late, may never leave

#AUStriches National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been rorted so much that GS economist sees an attempt just to pullback on funding kids with autism diagnoses resulting in GDP drop by 0.1-0.3%. Government spending accounted for 1% of the 1.3% GDP growth in the past year. Australia’s economy is fukt. View quoted note →

Been a while since we checked in on the #Austriches #HousingPonzi Wonder how that’s going?..

When was the last time you saw a Bitcoiner proudly proclaim they’d just spun up a new node, running Core? Been a minute..

Of all the content I’ve consumed in my life, 99.999% of it was produced after the Industrial Revolution. Of all the humans who ever existed on Earth, ~95% of them lived before the Industrial Revolution. I’ve thought about this a lot this year in my reading. The disparity indicates we moderns think humans knew little of value despite their mass existence over time. And its true they can’t inform us much of anything with regards our modern technology, but they had plenty worthwhile to say about the most important technologies that existed before we came to view only machines, as tech. With this in mind I’ve completed my next read for #bookstr - The Spirit of the Law by Charles Montesquieu. We are born into this world as fish in water, swimming in a sea of laws and regulations which we don’t understand the first things about other than, they apply and there are consequences if we don’t follow them. We’re never taught why they exist, or how they came to be. And that’s what this book does a great job of doing. Ok, it’s 270 years old, so it’s not going to explain MANY things, but it covers a 2000+ year history of different societies and the laws they had, and seeks to understand why they had them. It’s very interesting. He traces where power was diffuse through different branches (church, state, local etc.), the actual nature of “servitude” in the Middle Ages, how different peoples adopted different principles, how rulers successfully maintained order, how laws evolved, and importantly, how systems evolved. He’s very much a “Statist”, but not in the sense we understand it today. He’s describing how order was kept across different peoples of different natures in different times and places. The intention of laws. The “spirit”. Not arbitrary governance for the sake of power, but how good and bad laws come to be and how we should understand them in historical context. I won’t say it’s fascinating because at times its very dry and meanders through things which just aren’t interesting. But it’s worthwhile. To understand the waters in which we swim. To understand the Chesterton’s Fence principles of why modern law is so fucked after so much was changed that really should not have been. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone other than nerds though. But if you really want to understand how “the system” came to be, the evolutions which laid the foundations for liberalism and communism and socialism and managerialism and everything in between, there are good foundations in here worth understanding.

Do you value your hands? Like how you can do things, with your hands? Like how you can pick things up, put them down, turn them around? Are you ready to lose your hands because that’s been a punishment for antisocials for centuries. Why should you get to be antisocial and also keep your hands?!

The Australian opposition Liberal party are considering policy of paying migrants to leave. Throughout history, conquered people who could not fight their conquerors, paid them to leave their lands. If Australia is so weak that it can’t get people out of its country, why not march on Canberra and take it over? What are the police going to do? They’re apparently too weak to get rid of the migrants.. If the army had to choose, are they going to shoot Aussies, or Indians? I’ve been gone only 6 months but it looks like the pace of decline is accelerating rapidly. View quoted note →

Had headshots taken by photographer in #Vietnam today. She had to take 7 shots because my eyes were too big, she did this to me after the third photo 😂🤣
