I don't know anything about song writing, but I sometimes randomly get hit with the urge to write one. Maybe I should learn more about how to do it well.
Anyway, here's something that invaded my thoughts for the past couple days. Hopefully it'll end up being a good emotional mix ๐
--------
Bear Market Blues
Just sittin' here havin' a beer
Thinkin' 'bout the past couple years
Wonderin' if I did somethin' wrong
Writin' this sad fuckin' song
Baby
Oh, baby baby
I've got some very, very bad news
We'll be poor until the world has a clue
Ignore all the I told you's
Just have to make it through these bear market blues

I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not going to prison and leaving my family to clean up the mess just to not pay taxes for maybe two or three years. Maybe if more than half my country was doing it at the same time, but not right now. In my opinion, this would be a retarded waste of my life and would make zero impact. Doing what I'm doing now is a better way for me. Do I resist a little in some ways I won't say here? Yes. But a slave sometimes has to resist in a sly, roundabout way gradually. We all have our paths. I don't necessarily look down on anyone for going the full resistance route. It just isn't for me right now, and I afford the same to everyone else.
This obviously isn't required to understand Bitcoin. You can have a bank account and pay taxes AND understand why Bitcoin and voluntarism are better.

I'm amending this, thanks to @CarteBlanche
0. Can't define inflation.
Honestly, if they can't do that, they have no business even talking to me about anything related to money or economics (as far as my time is concerned).

Maybe I'm being elitist or unfair (let me know), but I don't give a fuck about a person's opinion on #Bitcoin if they meet any of the following conditions:
1. If they have any Bitcoin, it's on an exchange and none is in cold storage.
2. They've never sent and/or received Bitcoin on chain or on another layer (Lightning, etc) to buy/sell something or to send value for some other reason (donation, zaps, etc).
3. They don't know what the difficulty adjustment is.
I'm willing to help someone do these things if they genuinely want to understand Bitcoin, but I'm not going to argue or defend my position with these people. It's a waste of my time and energy.
Making AI brownies. I'm on board if it passes this critical test.
Lol So it'll be anything but open?

I feel sympathy for people who lose employment, but our government is way too large and we shouldn't be economically dependent on it. That's a conflict of interest that causes a cycle of greater dependence and larger government.
Government spending also shouldn't be such a large percentage of economic activity.

This is fun.

It's funny watching companies like Discord jump at the chance to fuck themselves more than necessary.
It'll be even funnier when they're relegated to the shit can of internet history.
Fuck Peter Thiel.
Fuck Sam Altman.
