If we were to redo or add to the US constitution in a re-founding of the US I’d want to add 1. Separation of currency and state 2. Only citizens may donate to political causes and there’s an annual limit (no corporations, no NGOs) 3. Clarify that the right to bear arms includes all that goes into warfare (artillery, fighter jets, cargo planes, fuel, all the way down) 4. The buffet amendment: if deficits go over a certain percent of domestic production sitting congress people cannot be re-elected One of the greatest tricks played by the state over the last hundred or so years is scoping the second amendment to just guns and “personal defense” the real goal should be that there’s more privately held capacity for war than publicly held capacity for war.

Hard money is inevitable in a multi-polar world. Fiat is only sustainable in a unipolar world. When empires collapse the world reverts to hard money. When nations use hard money, there’s less war. Seems like the world would be better without a hegemon. Even though I think the US is exceptional, I think it’d be better if we focussed inward

How overvalued do you think the stock market is? What about houses? I take perverse pleasure in watching asset prices crash because that wealth wasn’t real anyway. I say keep unwinding the cantillonaires’ wealth

Sooooo hyperinflation wen? Five years?

A future of abundance is more likely today than ever before. People that have fought for decentralization have made tremendous progress. Because of their work, the most important developments in technology are now uncontrollable by elites. We are going to see an explosion of human flourishing powered by abundant intelligence, mechanical labor, more energy than we know what to do with, and hard money. Buckle up folks. It’s gonna be bumpy in the short term, but a bright future is more than possible.

Man i can’t wait for a Bitcoin future. I’m in Argentina and I can’t withdraw money from an ATM using my US debit card without a 25% fee but I can’t go to a money changing place and send Bitcoin to get local money. And I can’t find any working Bitcoin ATMs. This is such a stupid problem. There would be serious money in being one of those folks in the park who does money changing but with Bitcoin. Just hold pesos in cash and accept lightning or on chain payments. You could orange pill a ton of folks and save everyone a ton of money. Way more accessible than requiring people to bring US dollars in cash. If you know anyone doing this let me know! I want to use their services.

Anyone got a sense of why the CEO of United Healthcare was assassinated? I’m no fan of pharma, but it’s usually not the good guys doing the assassinating

Is there a zap only client? Just find someone by npub and zap any amount? This is particularly difficult on iOS because of the AppStore I think.

Wow integrating with Telegram is so easy. Just built a system to alert myself to new user signups and errors and it took me 5 minutes. I can’t believe it took me so long 😂

I’m looking to buy a half a cow to put in a chest freezer so I can buy direct from a farmer. Any advice on how to find someone?

Anyone aware of any books or essays on abundance generated by technology? Been doing my research but it seems not much thought has gone into the possibility of a radically abundant future (and how it may not be far off)

@PABLOF7z you manage nsecbunker.com right? just tried to subscribe to get a naecbunker. Paid the invoice and then it hung while deploying a bunker. Can’t get back there even though payment was sent 😬 The url where it got hung up had “undefined” in it so I think there was a bug. That or I’m just not patient enough (waited a couple minutes) Can you help me recover it? Or did I just get rugged 😂
