I wish there was a small town somewhere that bitcoiners would just take over and make our own. I have lots of fantasies about this, but I’m pretty sure it ends up being a disaster…

To emerge from the rabbithole is to exit Plato’s cave of modernity and to understand that fiat is the shadows on the wall that we have been told are real. View quoted note →

I remember reading a story that in WWII some GIs wiped their ass with this and ended up offing themselves because the pain was too much 😬 View quoted note →

Yesterday’s find: Candy caps! One of the few sweet mushrooms, dried they smell a bit like maple syrup (I think a bit more like browned butter) and I’ll use these to make cookies.

Please let it be true. View quoted note →

The Supercycle bust The bust from the supercycle is going to absolute rekt traditional financial markets. It will cause for fiat currency runs, trigger a broader global economic depression, and kick off the global program of Executive Order 6102 2.0 for Bitcoin. This will happen because bitcoin is fundamentally a global 24/7 free market for the pricing of money, and all traditional financial systems today are part of a broad interdependent global socialist political pricing systems. These systems have been fundamentally designed for ‘safety’ and to insulated the broader economy from panic and volatility. The panic that will happen from various kinds of synthetic bitcoin pricing mechanisms collapsing, similar to FTX but for the broader global financial markets. This panic will only end when Bretton woods 3.0 is forced through fiat systems pegging themselves to Bitcoin.

I thank God for Nostr. Seriously. To see the world through the manipulated lens of IG, X, or some other exploitative medium, it becomes impossible to see what the real nature of the world is, and it affects one deeply. The horrific darkness that is pushed on to people through these ‘walled gardens’ which are really digital concentration camps is terrifying. From seeing the world through these controlled methods, you would think that everyone is out to get you, they want to harm you, and that you have to battle against the world. Then you open nostr and escape this walled garden, and you realize you are no longer in these concentration camps where you are subjugated to these horrors and exploitation. You see how manipulated you are, how much evil, violent, and sexualize content is boosted specifically to manipulate you. Outside of their walls, their digital barbed wire fences, you can see the free world is different. That most people are good, want to connect, and share in a meaningful way. It helps unveil the nature of the war of control that is going on for the web itself, and gives one a glimpse of the very real good that is possible from liberating ourselves from the digital concentration camps, and what it means to be free to control our algorithms and who and how we connect.

This is my standard meal in the winter:

The fear of cancelation—which is really the fear of not being able to have economic means (classic Athenian ostracism)—is the greatest censorship tool that there has ever been. The truth cannot even get on the radar because dialog cannot even get close to it, and anyone who does is so isolated that the message cannot get out. This is why Nostr is so important, as the message can get out now, and it cannot be cancelled.

I’m having fomo over missing Saylor’s party. Not for the event, but just because I miss my friends and would have enjoyed seeing many of them.

The Purpose of Bitcoin The purpose of bitcoin is not a new form of money, nor a new economic system—but a new form of life. It is a life that is removed from the paranoia and schizophrenia of a system of power and control in which one can never know their real standing, where all may be labeled an enemy of the state and eliminated without notice or access to the law. It is a system of politics that we call fiat, and today in ensnares all people everywhere around the entire globe and enslaves all towards its destructive and evil cause. Today we all exist within this system where the right to economic, political, and spiritual activity may be eliminated at anytime under emergency decrees of any state. The purpose of Bitcoin is to liberate all beings everywhere from this system abuse and slavery forever. The purpose of Bitcoin is to allow for all peoples everywhere, from now unto eternity, to return to a private life that is separated from the fiat state and reserve for themselves alone. It is a life which is imbued with purpose and meaning in the deepest sense of the words, for it allows all beings to now choose what forms of life they will have, and how they will choose to live them without that becoming an objective of the politics of the fiat states. This is very idea of what freedom means, and how we choose to live will no longer be an object of any fiat politics any longer. No longer will we be used for the rape and exploitation of their system of endless wars, infinite surveillance, and endemic nihilistic abuse to serve its own sadistic ends. This refusal to be part of the fiat system, this choice for the freedom and purpose of Bitcoin will now raise itself to the task of The Political that is above any fiat state politics, and will become the method by which all peoples everywhere and forever will liberate themselves from the shackles and yoke of fiat slavery. It is the banishment of the last vestiges of slavery through the promise of a form of wealth and property that will no longer be predicated upon the systematic organization of violence under the fiat state, and the barbarism that it always must be. Bitcoin is our declaration of freedom against the fiat system, and our decision to no longer participate in it any longer. For what does it mean when all beings everywhere may now be free from the economic slavery from fiat, not just now, but forever? What happens when beings unify themselves under the banner of economic and political peace, and choose to wage an everlasting war against the violence and barbarism of fiat slavery, not just for ourselves, but for the future as well? What becomes of the story of humanity and the story of history when this decision is made by individual free beings to no longer participate in the collectivist slavery that is fiat and the horrors it demands? Bitcoin is the premonition of the overturning of the rot and nihilism of fiat slavery that has hollowed out the world, and rescues all of us for a rejuvenation towards a life of purpose and meaning that we create together through the rejection of fiat, and what that means for the world, and the purpose that offers to each of us. The purpose of Bitcoin is to offer each of us a return to honor, dignity, and a meaningful life in knowing there are things more valuable than material goods, and that the energy of the future will demand from all of us forever its own meaningful securing of itself for its own future. This is now possible and promised with the digital property law called Bitcoin and the digital oath that it is to itself. It is a record, a ledger of the truth of this history and what the real hidden value of wealth is when it can no longer be controlled by any single being, institution, or state any longer. Bitcoin is the proof of this value, and the purpose of people from all around the world when they choose to create a new form of property and law together that is beyond the power of any fiat state to destroy. It is the overturning of the authority of the state, for the truth of nature, and what that means for all beings in our world today, and into the future. We hodl theses truths to be self-evident that all beings are created equally and that they are endowed by the very nature of the universe to use the power of cryptography to protect themselves when no others can. That each being’s property, their happiness, and their lives may be protected through the use of these techniques, and that all peoples should be allowed the understanding of what it means to have access to this kind of power, protection, and dignity that no fiat state can provide. Through these means and ends, Bitcoiners everywhere have choose to put their wealth in Bitcoin and declared their own economic and political independence from the fiat systems of slavery that seek to keep them in bondage and oppression. Together, Bitcoin offers each of us a new purpose from which we may save the world from the slavery of fiat, and liberate ourselves, our families, and all of posterity for a more fitting and judicious form of life for all beings, forever.

I’m sorry but i absolutely hate all of the kitsch Christmas garbage of modernity. Trees, lights, ornaments, santa figurines—all of it I despise. I hate putting it up, taking it down, having kids be manipulated into that crap and thinking it has anything to do with the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

I’m watching my son teach himself programing with an AI tutor with a computer I got him for Christmas. He’s started doing this all on his own without my encouragement. I’m so proud right now. GN frens.
