Only in a society with some degree of freedom, can a generation grow up so entitled as to think the natural state of the world is having whatever you want whenever you want it. And that somehow “free markets” stole this from them. This is the foundational logic of socialism.

Debt based money and privacy cannot coexist. You can't issue unsustainable debt without vetting borrowers on a deeper and deeper level. Credit based money is inextricably tied to ever more invasive surveillance. "Surveillance capitalism" and debt based money are the same thing.

It's amazing how politically convenient mainstream economics is for government power. I wonder if they would actually fund and educate people on expressly false economic theory because it gave them astronomical amounts of power 🤔... nah, that's just silly talk. image

I'll tell you something, everything I've ever seemed to actually succeed at never felt like I was succeeding. To the contrary, it seems to always feel like i'm fucking up over and over and over again until something starts working. The most important factor seems to just be keeping at it despite feeling like an idiot and like nothing is making progress... but showing up again anyway.

Gun control stops violence in exactly the same way censorship and propaganda stops people from ever being wrong. In other words, it doesn’t. The 1st and 2nd Amendments are the 1st and 2nd for a reason.

There is no greater coward than someone who can't defend their beliefs with anything other than violence. The coward second in line is the one who celebrates it because they value their own vapid opinion more than human life itself.

Socialism is just a violent religion for the economically illiterate.

$102K #Bitcoin price is now considered low. Think about how quickly that happened.

Fiat: Only the political and banking class can print money. #Crypto: Everyone can print their own money. #Bitcoin: Nobody can print money. One of these is not like the others.

Imagine believing that earning money -- the act of working hard to do things for other people, to produce more of what others need, and explicitly not yet consuming anything -- is a burden that deserves to be taxed to prop up the govt, the most parasitic and destructive cancer on earth.

Still my favorite thing about Bitcoiners is how vicious they are about every little Issue 🤣

Just helped a friend the other day boot up a Multibit HD wallet from 2013 that hadn't been opened in more than a decade. It took a day to get current, but it connected, downloaded and verified blocks, and he sent a transaction to his new keys without a hitch. Wild. Multibit was the goat.
