These tyrannical theft-based systems we’re living under have to blow themselves up for a proper reset. Violent popular “revolution” isn’t a fix and would very probably lead to worse short and long-term outcomes as has been the case elsewhere. Similarly bitcoin has to be monetized organically to truly work. It can’t come from decree and it can’t happen until the stack is ready. Interestingly bitcoin adoption limits tyrannical behavior in several real ways. At some point we’ll see a death cross between the two and changes will start to accelerate.

Gold went sideways for more than a decade and inflation-adjusted had negative returns for most of that decade+ We corn-folk really don’t know pain.

Note of the month 🥇 View quoted note →

If Ilia Topuria fights Islam Makhachev at welterweight it’ll be a 180 pound man vs a 200 pound man. Very hard deficit to overcome when the skill of opponent is so high. Hard to see Ilia being able to implement his game plan verse such a good grappler and savvy defensive fighter in Islam. Ilia should just stay at 155 and clap everyone there.
