Bitcoin Parallelists have existed since the beginning of Bitcoin and they come in many different forms. The root animating thinking is that Bitcoin cannot be good enough at face value, and that something needs to be added to Bitcoin to make it “correct” or “more useful”. One example of this poisonous thinking is the idea that an identity layer needs to be added to Bitcoin. This is obviously insane to actual Bitcoiners, but there are people who cannot conceive of life without having the ability to track and trace and identify themselves with a government piece of paper on demand. This toxic thinking was behind the BIP to add an identity layer “An identity layer does not add anything to the Bitcoin protocol; its a political, superfluous addition, that is parochial and toxic.” https://x.com/search?q=bitcoin%20%22identity%22%20layer%20from%3A%40beautyon_&src=typed_query&f=top Take a look at this: "What is needed is an optional identity layer — a Bitcoin Assigned Custodial Identities Authority, much like the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, to oversee global Custodial Identity allocation. Such an authority delegates Custodial Identity Spaces to Regional Bitcoin Custodial Identity Registries, much like the RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) managing the allocation of Internet number resources." Shocking. Imagine having to spend the rest of your life refuting and defending against this garbage. It's unthinkable...hellish. The analogy to Money, the ultimate toxic poison in “Bitcoiner” thinking, takes the legacy financial system as the gospel and “how things get done”, and believes, quite erroneously, that Bitcoin must copy feature for feature and institution for institution everything found in the legacy system, and of course that includes “identity”. This “thinking” leaves out the facts of Bitcoin; that it is… • A database and not money • Identify in the legacy system was and is a necessity because that system emerged from pre internet / cryptography world • Western ways of thinking about the utility of anything is not a universally applicable standard to be forced on everyone on Earth Similar to this bad thinking is the idea that the only way Bitcoin can exist is by coexistence. This is absolutely false, and many industries throughout history demonstrate it. No one asserted that the ice delivery industry should coexist with domestic electric refrigerators and neither did anyone think that the horse and cart needs to coexist with the motorcar. Or electric stoves with open fires. The “Bitcoin get along gang” are fundamentally anti-Bitcoin. They don’t accept the truth; that fiat money is a criminal enterprise stealing from the most vulnerable people on earth to the richest. Choosing coexisting with evil is evil, and this is why Dollarizers and Dollar Idolaters are evil and anti-Bitcoin. Thankfully, all of these people and their bad ideas will be wiped out. Bitcoin is powerful enough to do this, because by its action it exerts influence on the user, just as WhatsApp exerts influence on users to refrain from sending messages by SMS. No conscious thought is required for this to happen (in fact, not thinking is a prerequisite) it just happens because people gravitate to what is cheaper and faster. One people get Bitcoin into their hands in the correct way, meaning an Ethical Bitcoin wallet (Wallet of Satoshi, Samourai Wallet, Breez, Muun, Bluewallet, Green Address, BitKey) then the side effects will simply emerge, if they can get Bitcoin easily, and this will happen because Bitcoin Wallets create demand for Bitcoin simply by being installed... https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-adoption-and-conway-s-game-of-life-54ca71db7b88 And don't bother trying to surveill everyone with your "identity on Bitcoin" Statism. It will not change the outcome... https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-surveillance-an-ahistoric-market-error-d3871f671c8c Purveyors of bad ideas will never vanish; this is why Bitcoin had to be written. It puts money beyond the reach of bad people and their bad ideas, whether they are well meaning and innocently suggested or not. Every generation of men is essentially a blank slate onto which bad ideas can be imposed. That's why there are Marxists in 2024, and even 60 year old Marxists, because some people are incapable of learning and are stubborn. Bitcoin stops these people from being able to destroy, and prevents future generations from being able to destroy. Time and events will strengthen Bitcoin's position, and the idea of believing in Bitcoin and understanding Bitcoin's value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend Bitcoin with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Isn't it exciting?

When the light bulb goes on, there is no going back. And we’re still at the beginning. Just wait till you see what’s coming next. And you’ll know we’ve passed the left side of the normal distribution when the normies all think Azteco is normal and, “Just the way things are”. That’s coming too! View quoted note →

Carbon dating of dinosaurs has been100% falsified. The Earth is not “billions of years old”. The account of the creation of the world as found in Genesis is true. Abandon fiat education, Darwinism, Keynesianism and Scientism, “Bitcoiner”.

If a famous person “outs” the bad guys and it’s “huge”, then the problems are solved, and you can rejoice, because you’ve won. The wars will stop You don’t have to take responsibility for your actions The fiat system is ended The bad guys can do no more bad You’ve won All because you sputtered some slang! Wow, that was easy! If it was always this easy to solve all the problems, why didn’t anyone do this before? MORE PRESS CONFERENCES MORE “OUTINGS” MORE CONDEMNATIONS MORE “HUGES” LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!

The world doesn't need to know who Satoshi was. Bitcoin isn't a commodity, it never was, and "The Bitcoin Community" must become irrelevant, like the old Home Brew Computing clubs did. Bitcoin is not an asset class, and it never was. What it is will be made clear to many, very soon. The trajectory of Bitcoin will follow the trajectory of the other world-changing innovations, and so will the reaction to it and management of the public’s access to it. The web, Smart Phones, Internets, LCDs, GSM…all of these and more will coalesce into a single world-changing event, in effect superficially different but similar to events centuries ago when sound money was everywhere. Even the most trained people, historians, economists and people as close to Bitcoin as it is possible to be cannot see what is coming. And that is a good thing. It is a good thing because people don’t want the world to change, especially if they are very comfortable. If the world goes on as it is for another 40 years, why should they care? In a phrase, the attitude is, “NO URGENCY”. And it’s completely understandable. Nevertheless, it’s going to happen. Bitcoin dominance is coming, whether anyone likes it or not. And that’s a good thing! image

One of the biggest problems facing the west today is the blanket accommodation of mental illness. Everyone tip toes around mentally ill people so as not to "offend", whereas in the past, there was no such social prohibition. People were "mean". People were "cruel". This had a twofold effect. Young men faced strict discipline from every corner, and if they had any chance of being and behaving normally, their quirks were beaten out of them, and then they grew up to be polite, responsible, reasonable, capable and normal men. The people who used to be called "retards" were ruthlessly tested until it was absolutely determined that there was no hope for them. They were then either kept secure at home where they couldn't trouble anyone or institutionalized for thier own and society's good. Today, it is not like this. People coddle their children to such an extent, that they never shed the cocoon of childhood and incompletely molt as partially formed, stunted men. In the UK, they call them, "Manlets". Manlets can't take responsibility, can't face criticism or make a value judgement. They're essentially paralysed, and because no one rebuked them for their entire lives, they've ended up crippled by it, whereas if they had faced a sound horsewhipping when young, they could have been molded into true captains of industry, capitalists or even greater. That is what is missing today in many fields; men and women who have the discipline, etiquette, soundness of mind, a firm foundation, guts and ability; fearlessness, all of which are prerequisites to both changing the world for the better and managing the world once changed so it doesn't slip and turn into a mess. Bitcoin, tangentially, is a solution to this terrible problem of a paucity of men of character. By removing the power to control the money supply from the State and putting it into the "hands" of a computer, impotent, frightened and paralyzed men and evil women are forever removed from the equation, and weak men and evil women are excluded from economic decisions that affect billions of innocent people. The answer to, "The Weak Man / Evil Woman Problem" is software, across the board. This extends to robotics. Some very clever man from an American Labor Union has just threatened the entire United States with crippling strikes across all ports. The introduction of commodity robots, both anthropomorphic and not, will put Unions in their place forever. No group of people will be able to claim jobs provided by entrepreneurs are "their jobs", and the cretinous Californian Socialists who think increasing minimum wages are an answer to poverty (they are not) will have no constituency to vote for them. When all fast food work is done by robots, California can either ban fast food or allow fast food. It is a binary choice. there are no more options. If they allow fast food, companies will simply shut down franchises. Prices will be unsustainably high in California, making the slops inaccessible to the poor. In other states, where taxation regimes and employment laws are sane (i.e. where there are none of either) the fast food industry will flourish. If they disallow fast food, then the companies will simply shut down franchises. No slops for California dreamers. The Socialists and Unions cannot win this; there is no scenario where they win. The free market will discipline them; the invisible hand will slap them. This is true of all companies. You can't hide from economics; the market is super powerful and very dynamic, and entrepreneurs, when hungry, are ruthless and lethal. For them, business is not a game or a distraction; it is life or death, and for the best entrepreneurs, who are driven by philosophy, they are doubly motivated. Many entrepreneurs in Bitcoin are like the latter. Winning in Bitcoin is not the fulfillment of a ridiculous unwritten chapter in an obscure book on untested "Game Theory"; it is REAL and the prize is REAL and the stakes are REAL and the users are REAL. When Bitcoin wins, the world will change; the only remaining question is this: Will your name be on the roll of HONOUR of men and women who did good and changed the world? Or will your name be on the roll of SHAME, of men and women who did wrong, did dirty, who dropped the ball, who ran away and hid from the game? It is not possible to know the end of this today, but you can make a good guess on a handful of very famous (in Bitcoin) names. Faketoshi will go down under "did wrong, did dirty". Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Elizabeth Stark: "men and women who did good and changed the world". And so on and so on. I'm sure you can make your own list in your own mind. Right Right Right? image
