You cannot see the systematic problem from inside the problematic system
Once you step out of fiat and look back through the lens of bitcoin you realise how fucked everything was
Lyrics from my latest video "BANK"
"The stated goal was economic stability but after countless bank failures and crises, you realise the true intent of the bank cartel is to maintain money creation monopoly and pass losses to taxpayers."
These banks don't have your money
They lend it out for money
So you have an IOU based on a pyramid scheme of credit
Biggest bank of them all creates new debt for more reserves
World bankers are running the show cashing out to shareholders
Now that don't look like money
Just national scale counterfeiting
While you been slaving away for something they can whip up outta nothing
As dollars grow faster than output there's more money chasing the same things
Driving up prices of goods
The empire strikes back now with more inflation
So they wave the wand of interest
Decrease rates so we take more risk
Then ramp it up to grift us
That's the flaw with interventions
Don't need our permission for wealth distribution from the bottom to the top of the ranks
Their only ambitions' to rack up commission cos we know banks bank $$$
The arc of world history moves toward building less corruptible tools
Away from trusting admins that can keep on changing the rules
"oUr BaNkInG sYsTeM iS sOuNd" - JaNeT b YeLLeN
What you take us for a fool?
Y'all out there causing crises, sit down man you're about to get schooled
Now people want a kinda money no one can ever mess with or seize
So we engineered one out of reach from tentacles of this industry
Problem is, they never had a rival so fierce they turn to deceit
Unlearn bankers' propaganda maybe think of it like this
Think of land that is out of bankers' hands
It can't expand
But if you own the land its title transfers based on your command
Done by code as instructions run by nodes around the globe
Changing access to your zone updating pieces that you own
All your pieces of Satoshis are your wealth of territory
As you spend them
Coins ain't moving
Just a change of lock and keys
These are generated by seed words from wallets (that's a misnomer)
They don't hold your coins but they can sign and be key storers
Whats the consequence of storing keys all inside our heads?
Now we taking wealth from bankers reach into our minds instead
Multisig is stronger than a vault cos network's engineered
Banker lose all their control, they can no longer interfere
Now think of all the implications
Giving us a chance to build savings
On a fixed denomination
Not volatility of inflation
Lay a stronger foundation
To build for future generations
End the Fed's creation
Bitcoin is the key to our salvation
Bitcoin gives us the ability to build wealth and economies that aren't dependent on world bankers, on debt and inflation and politics - those are the root causes of the biggest problems in the world today.
"nostr at its root is a data storage solution that gives sovereignty to users through their pubkey. We haven't scratched the surface of where this wil lead, it goes beyond social media" @patrickulrich at @orange meetup
Open protocols will free us all #nostrmusic
Intro: "If we're thinking of protocols as like a language for computers, centralization of these services is like corrupting the language itself." #[0] on Bitcoin Review with #[1] #[2] #[3]
Cyberspace captured, value extracted
To maximize shareholder profits
Inside walled gardens ruled by God-Kings
A breeding ground for moral hazard
If you're not paying then you are the product
If you're not obeying they'll pop lock and drop ya
"Maybe free speech but it'll cost you eight dollars."
"Wanna keep operating? Then follow our agenda."
If a set of rules is common understanding
Then a protocol is simply a language
So no one should be gatekeeping it
Let's redesign the stack to realign incentives
Replace these admins with open markets
Open source code so we can all build on it
Don't be afraid of a little competition
Make open protocols great again
Information and internet money
The foundation of commerce and society
Once they are free from centralizing gravity
We can build a free market economy
Since internet money can be cut to bits
And zapped across the internet
Then #value4value is where it's at
No need for ads we'll just zap sats
Log in and out with private keys
Don't need to dox our identities
And if the app sucks, there's no barriers to leave
I'll be on my way taking everything with me
Options are endless we're too busy building
Without wasting time on seeking permission
Lobbying for change and kissing the ring
In an open world that's no longer a thing
Run your own relay, run your own node
Now that it is all interoperable
It's beyond any jurisdictions control
That's how open protocols free us all
Information and internet money
The foundation of commerce and society
Once they are free from centralizing gravity
We all advance towards escape velocity
Into the light where truth is a virtue
Code does not lie when it's open and neutral
Incentivizes us to build and contribute
Now we're aligned in a virtuous cycle
Our civilization's building blocks
Are redefined by open protocols
Only a radical new form of money
Can make these radical changes possible
From trust to truth we all evolve
From war and conflict towards resolve
As power falls to individuals
Open protocols will free us all
I was paying for groceries online and the third party payment terminal failed. Now I'm 47th in line on a customer service call.
Don't tell me Bitcoin doesn't fix first world problems.
๐ต Run your own relay, run your own node
Now that it's all interoperable
It's beyond any jurisdictions control
That's how open protocols free us all ๐ถ
