When will a representative adopt AI to canvas their constituents over every voting issue and then turn around and cast a vote in alignment with the majority response? Picture it: you wake up with a series of simple yes/no, multiple choice type questions to consider and debate with responses due later that day/week. As time passes a wee get deeper into this process, voters could set their positions over recurring topics. This"feature" would go down in history books for generations because it would systemically change governance as we know it. Pandora's box would be he opened. As this plays out it would render the ruling class irrelevant and likely reduce the quantity of decision points required. We have the technology and security to enable this today. If someone in my voting sector would run on a platform like that I would re-engage with politics.

Interesting chat with a friend at a jewelry shop. Refineries are experiencing shortages of chemicals needed for gold/silver thereby creating a bottleneck. This creates a manufactured supply shortage of a desired asset. This also limits the sale of positions from those looking to take profits. Bubble territory confirmed. Liquidity is a critical component to pure money assets.

It's cold enough to grow an icicle between your legs

One or two announcements of large gold/silver discoveries changes the entire market dynamic, just wait and see. Granted some of this demand is for alternative savings outside of fiat, but selling a physical position in these assets isn't as easy and straightforward as it appears and people looking to cash out are starting to realize this.

If I get tagged in a hellthread or whatever stupid shit that is, I WILL BLOCK YOU. Do not bring your spam bullshit to my door.

I can't seem to find anyone selling genuine and authentic pointy tinfoil hats. Plenty of meme hats on the subject though. Time to be sovereign and DIY. Do we need an open source how to on GitHub for the sheeple? *pointytinfoilhatemoji*

If I was a Bitcoiner in #Iowa I'd be focused on orange pilling the Practical Farmers of Iowa organization.

This realization just hit me across the face. I think it is possible that I experienced a Carrington Event-like electrical shock this morning... Let me explain. My vehicle is stored outside completely exposed to the elements. Vehicles are naturally isolated from grounding to the Earth and therefore hold any charge received... Just like doorknobs 🤔 My home is very old field stone to the point it acts as a natural faraday cage plus wrapped in aluminium siding (you're jealous, I know 🤪). Therefore, I'm fairly isolated from solar activity and well grounded. I naturally touch several sources that would ground me to Earth to relieve static buildup in winter. My vehicle handle is of the plastic variety and I use a fob to unlock. For some reason, this morning I used my index finger to guide the key into the ignition. Not something I typically need to do 🤷 In the act of doing this my finger came in contact or close proximity to the ignition's metal components. I received a shock. It could be static shock, but I vividly remember thinking that was more than your typical shock. I genuinely thought in that moment I had an electrical malfunction with my vehicle, but everything after that moment became nominal and led me to forget that moment. That was the first interaction with my vehicle since Friday or Saturday... Definitely since the X class solar flare. I'm suspicious of what that was cause by. I suspect static, but I can't rule out solar activity.

The geomagnetic storm conditions from that X class flare and subsequent coronal mass ejection feels like they are lasting quite a long time... Or is it just me?

Bitcoin increased my connection to faith thanks to some of the most faith-committed peers I've met through my local meetup. It's hard to find younger folks in the pews at our tiny, rural church. Our family is the youngest by 10 years and that next closest family is disconnected from the next closest family older than them by an entire generation. I'm fairly confident that we're looking at the last hoorah of our congregation. This doesn't surprise me. One of the ethos of Bitcoin that I connect with is the destruction of institutions. I believe that must extend to faith based institutions, specifically those more engrossed in their institutional activities and less focused on the teachings of Jesus that ought to be guiding them. I feel like I'm in a unique position, but not just financially due to Bitcoin. Agriculturally, nearly every faith institution has failed by not fervently speaking out against the adoption of chemical, industrial agricultural practices. Practices that have destroyed rural communities and caused widespread health epidemics. The destruction of rural congregations and growth of industrial, chemical agriculture are certainly related. There is no doubt. The younger generations don't want to carry on the faults of the older generations. The evidence is all around us with disease, cancers, and obesity. But fear not, the youth have a yearning to grow and connect and start a revolution. This revolution starts at individual churches everywhere. I've started by expressing these feelings to a prominent member of my community who also is a member of my congregation--an industrial agriculturalist (I've done this with three such individuals to date, two of which are quite well known in the county). I don't expect change from a generation with one foot out the door. While that older generation dies off, focusing on the next generation is the most important aspect to meaningfully move the needle on bitcoin's future. Regenerative agriculture, renewed focus on faith, and the financial revolution will all merge to become a superpower of change for the betterment of humanity. The world may be dark and stormy, but never cease to shine your light.
