End Solipsism

I’ve been wracking my brain about this for about a month now and can’t come to a solid answer (maybe there isn’t one?) but we’re heading towards either communism or an authoritarian regime in the US how do we divert from that? Unfortunately the general public just doesn’t care or doesn’t have the mental capability to realize the money printer is fueling everything they hate (whether they’re on the right or left) and that ending the printer is the only way out. You still can’t mention bitcoin in public without being cast off as a lunatic. The demand for a complete upheaval is laps ahead of Bitcoin adoption among the population. This is black pilling but I don’t see a world where the money printer is eliminated peacefully through the democratic process. The rich (who dictate the narratives) depend on it to get richer and the poor (1/3 of the country is on government assistance) depend on it to survive. This doesn’t even account for the people on social security and other government printer ponzis. We’re not voting our way into sound money. Sure, NGU is nice, but being rich while the country decays around you isn’t close to ideal and isn’t a world I want to pass on to my children. I want to white pill and have optimism that our children won’t grow up in chaos but I don’t see how that’s avoidable. At this point we need solutions and retreating into the woods with our keys just praying this blows over quickly isn’t a real option. We need something actionable right now. Someone give me a white pill @Marty Bent @jack mallers @HODL @jack @Erik Cason @DudeChicken @ODELL @Laser

I don’t see anyone else saying this but the best @SoapMiner product is easily the deodorant. I’ve tried so many different brands including VanMan and Booda Butter, but the only deodorant that ever worked were the mega brands with 70 ingredients. Game changer for me.

Younger voters do not care about foreign wars the way the older generations do. The “peace time president” schtick Trump pushes isn’t winning votes. Younger voters don’t want more wars but when they can’t afford a house they couldn’t care less about what’s going on over seas. The Trump admin has completely lost touch with what his base cares about

If it’s likely that we have an authoritarian government on the way whether it’s communism or fascism we should probably start focusing on 1. How can we make the effects less harsh or ourselves? 2. How can we shorten the length of time we’re under an authoritarian regime?

There’s a 3 horse race between communism, fascism, and bitcoin. Communism and fascism just finished their first lap. Bitcoin hasn’t left the starting line.

Struggling to see a scenario where the US doesn’t have to go through either communism or fascism before Bitcoin eventually pulls us out. Democracy has degraded (maybe this is how democracy always ends) into a system where the people just vote for whoever they think will print the money to fund the things they want done. Millennials and Gen Z are simultaneously desperate for anything but the current system that’s making a happy future impossible to envision and unwilling/unable to understand Bitcoin. They literally think it’s in their best interest to give the government more power. Bitcoin could go to 10M while nations and companies buy in but if the average guy hasn’t taken the orange pill his problems are only exacerbated and he’ll continue to demand more money printing. The only way to stop demand for communism/fascism is for bitcoin to kill the money printer before we get there and I just don’t see the average person understanding that until it’s too late, if they ever do. Would love to hear a white pill take on this from @Marty Bent @Erik Cason or @HODL but I just don’t see it.

Buying votes is always an effective strategy so Trump sending out $2k checks makes a ton of sense politically, but of course will just send inflation up a notch and is horrible economic policy. This is why democracy is just a slow death

@miles 🌞 @jack hey guys congrats to you and the rest of the Square team for the huge moves this week. Just a quick question. What information, if any, about the customer is provided to the business after a bitcoin payment is processed?

We can’t realistically deport them all in any reasonable timeframe. We need to make America as unappealing as possible to illegals. We need self deportations.

Maybe the reason the poor are having more kids than the middle class is because the middle class pays for the children of the poor image

A jury of his peers found Sean Dunn innocent of spiking a sandwich into the chest of a border patrol officer. It was all on camera clear as day. Leftists do not care about anything but protecting their own. They will lie, cheat, and steal to win. Understand where we are.

Some talk recently about how Gen Z doesn’t seem interested in Bitcoin and how we can get the message out to them. I find it difficult to believe we do this through Bitcoin podcasts. Bitcoin has plenty of great personalities @Danny Knowles, @Marty Bent, @jack mallers, etc. and they’re not getting Gen Z listeners. We’ll likely need a widely popular (for reasons not related to Bitcoin) figure who just happens to be a bitcoiner and speaks about it here and there. We need a Charlie Kirk type who has the ear of Gen Z who can slowly bring them into Bitcoin. It’s the same issue Nostr currently has. If you’re not a bitcoiner Nostr probably sucks. There’s nothing else really discussed here at length and if you’re not curious about bitcoin/money it’s all just boring gibberish. Just another reason I implore Bitcoiners to speak about other topics that interest them and sprinkle in Bitcoin here and there where it fits. Gen Z will get into bitcoin when it’s something their favorite personality endorses not because they decide to put down DraftKings and porn and read Rothbard.

Over 10% of the country is on food stamps (and likely a myriad of other free money programs). Turn off the spigot. image

Your average rational person will be deterred from doing crime if they know they’ll get a long prison sentence when caught. Anyone not deterred by a long prison sentence is unfit to live in society with rational people. Bring back long sentences
