i’ve been watching some news (both legacy and alternative/youtube outlets) in recent days. it is all complete garbage. even the alternative stuff which people say is “real” and a viable replacement for “legacy media lies” is complete junk. no one has any real domain expertise in what they talk about, it’s all speculation and fear/hope-mongering. waste of life to engage with this stuff, just go touch grass or build or meditate or whatever you want to do. consume real information, real experience, and just think for yourself.

two dudes on twitter that are going to have massive meltdowns over bitcoin in the coming years: FinanceLancelot and Darth Powell going to be extremely entertaining, i promise

buying non-kyc lowers your time preference even further. i can’t buy until the banks clear my deposit into strike. i “missed” $102k and probably won’t get to buy until it’s over $110k again. the horror! really helps you get over the anxiety of “timing” the market.

normies are just weird man. this person has clearly internalized and incorporated the mindset of the rat race so deeply with their identity that they are proactively anticipating the “HFSP” that comes next from bitcoiners. how are so many people so willing to just accept this?

I just flew first class between two major US cities. Got to observe some suits in their natural habitat, working their emails and reading nytimes at 6am EST. Not one looked out the window at the views (I fly fairly frequently and always do, it’s a gift from God to have that opportunity). And it is extremely clear why a MSFT or APPL shareholders vote still goes 99-1 against any bitcoin exposure for treasuries. They are apes, mimicking each other down to a T. Your NPC’s NPC. And the kicker, I spoke to the one next to me about his business opportunities. He had just got back in the States from Ibiza, told me all about how incredible the European area was. He said “the difference between capitalism (referring to USA) and socialism (Ibiza region) is so clear.” These are not serious people. Send it higher.

i oscillate between a nostr info poastr / macro maxi / shitcoin hater and a twitter warrior on a holy crusade against any and all shitcoinery. they’re both lovely

Elon actually cared about DOGE and Trump just wanted him as a fund buddy and tried to convert him to a leech

In a past life I was a registered Democrat. I have kept the registration through many years, for no reason other than not caring enough to do anything about it. I have come to appreciate the hilarity of that side of the aisle though (tbf I am sure Republicanism^TM is also bad). For example, this email I received (from this person I’ve never heard of who somehow has been granted preferential access to communicate with me, for no reason other than being an “official” democrat I guess): Wherein, the Democrats decide they have committed an act of virtuous defiance in stopping Trump from cutting the DoE. Dictatorship? Denied! They say. However, I voted for Trump with explicit hopes of gutting things like the DoE. I wager many, many people did the same. Trump landslid the election and yet here we are, receiving direct confirmation that the Dems not only misunderstood why, but don’t even care enough to wonder.

BREAKING: The Texas legislature has passed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill. It now goes to @GregAbbott_TX who is expected to sign it into law. ...

what is this phenomenon of bot replies that just jumble up the words in your post?

the beatings will continue until kyc is destroyed.

ironically, it is poor people who cause inflation (cpi). private credit growth (middle/upper class phenomenon) is often constrained by actual economic conditions. mom and pop’s loan depends on their credit worthiness. public debt (welfare) is what percolates to the increased cost of basic goods. the private credit that created those goods is now devalued against the purchasing power “created” by these government offerings. the expenditure of the public credit by the poor class causes inflation and credit devaluation to materialize, and the middle class gets poorer through realized cpi. many good people are poor, but public debt and government welfare are not the answer.

In my search for a normie who can explain “intrinsic value” I have stumbled upon this absolute gem from gold.org. Enjoy!
