Decentralizing your life is getting easier with #Bitcoin and #Nostr.

Nothing scientific and ignoring bot behavior, my experience has been that there’s currently far more thoughtfulness and intelligence on Nostr than on Twitter. At least for me, thus far. Of course, your own mileage may vary. Anyway, keep on Nostrs ✌️

Let me be clear. If Kamala Harris somehow forces a 25% unrealized capital gains tax, the flight of capital out and subsequent collapse of the US markets would be absolutely breathtaking. And the ultimate result would be far lower tax revenues than we have right now.

Good morning. Deficit spending will not end, federal debt will forever grow, and currency debasement will always follow. This is the life of a fiat currency. Have a great day.

I don’t do a lot of TA, as my investments tend to be long term, but I find the past couple of days interesting, as it appears there is a concerted seller who has been moving their limit lower by the hour for 2 days now (bent arrow) , starting Sunday. Note the volume (dotted circle) pickup and the support level (dotted line) of the reversal here. FWIW, let’s see if the main seller is done. image

Late night question, which app/interface are you all using for Nostr? I’m on Primal and Damus.

Why is 2% the right amount of inflation? It’s the amount they can get away with in order to debase the underlying currency, much like a hidden tax, without upsetting people to the point of rebellion. (from today’s Informationist Newsletter)

Good evening Nostrs. Let’s be honest. A 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is nothing more than a cheap political talking point that is so monumentally stupid that it will *never* happen. Have a great night.

Bottom line. It’s not really about instituting ‘price controls’, it’s about shifting blame for relentless inflation to ‘big, bad, evil corporations’ and away from the incumbents.

Is it me or is Elizabeth Warren somehow becoming even *more* detached from economic reality?

The across the board mainstream media meltdown over the Trump/Elon open conversation is equal parts humorous and terrifying.

Why is the market seemingly suddenly so obsessed with unemployment? Look at this chart to see how, once unemployment begins to tick higher, the momentum that carries the economy into recession is virtually impossible to stop. image

99% of what you are being shown is pure theater and not for your benefit. Recognize this and you can begin to critically think for yourself—a rapidly disappearing skill in the Western world.

Imagine having defected from North Korea only to now be living in the UK.

Good morning Nostrs, it appears this may be the only place to speak openly in the future for many of us. For some already. Stay vigilant. Stay focused.

Good morning. If you slept the prescribed 8 hours last night, the US government borrowed $1.94B in that time. And its Council of Economic Advisors has no idea what that means. Have a great day.
