If people just listen to what Serj Tankian was screaming at them 25 years ago on Prison Song maybe this could have all been avoided. Toxicity is still a goated album to this day and there is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise. “THEY’RE TRYING TO BUILD A PRISON FOR YOU AND ME TO LIVE IN.” “MINOR DRUG OFFENDERS FILL YOUR PRISONS YOU DONT EVEN FLINCH ALL OUR TAXES PAYING FOR YOUR WARS AGAINST THE NEW NON-RICH “UTILIZING DRUGS TO PAY FOR SECRET WARS AROUND THE WORLD. DRUGS ARE NOW YOUR GLOBAL POLICY NOW YOU POLICE THE GLOBE” “DRUG MONEY IS USED TO RIG ELECTIONS AND TRAIN BRUTAL CORPORATE SPONSORED DICTATORS AROUND THE WORLD “

Modern world is a DDoS attack on our brains and we wonder why everyone and everything is completely insane and unhinged. We haven’t even seen real AI psychosis yet

Saylor really earned his street cred in the bitcoin community and he is just pissing it away day by day

Never sell your bitcoin until you create cascading systemic risk with synthetic derivatives on top of paper bitcoin to push DiGiTaL cReDiT and tell people to borrow money from their grandma to pay for the crypto nuclear reactor fulled by hornets in cyberspace. Only then should you consider selling some bitcoin to reduce your tax burden.

GM NOSTR Just watched a guy at the coffee shop buy a $10 gift card with his coffee. He then said put it towards the next couple people in line. We need more of this energy in 2026

The older I get the more I realize most of life is just about standing on principles. We just so happen to live in a morally bankrupt society. Most people don’t have the framework religion historically provided. That forces them to build their own set of values from the ground up, which is extremely hard and takes a lot of work. God is dead, Nietzsche, blah blah blah… This explains why bitcoin is cult adjacent. Because it provides a principled set of values (hard money, PoW, transparency, etc.) to people who are desperately craving it and have not yet found that in the traditional spiritual realm. Or in some cases (like mine), bitcoin brings you deeper on your spiritual journey. Ironically, this is exactly the type of stuff that makes us sound completely crazy to the average person 😂 But here we are

#asknostr does anyone here know anything about Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan? It almost seems too good to be true. Looks like it could be the next Dubai or Singapore. Also they’re using a gold backed currency + BTC? Is this the future??

Gelephu Mindfulness City

A Special Administrative Region (SAR) in the Kingdom of Bhutan. The world's first global model of regenerative, values-based urban development — ...

Most people cannot honestly ask themselves the simple question “Could I be wrong?” That question alone has gotten me this far in life.

There seems to be a lot of media about Satoshi’s identity popping up all at once. It’s a fascinating mystery even to someone who doesn’t care about bitcoin but it makes me wonder why now all of a sudden 🤔🤔 Could be pure coincidence, could be something else.

The journey of working towards clarity and serenity is the most intense non-physical pain one can feel. It’s an unforgiving, non-linear, and brutally painful process. People who haven’t gone down that path think you can just start meditating for a week and become a Buddhist monk. No bitch you have to watch your old self die, go through all 5 stages of grief, address all the hurt and pain compounded across your entire life up to that point, then then go through the entire grief cycle again. Once you finally come to terms with all that, you then start from 0 and have to rebuild your entire identity and life from there. Shit ain’t for the faint of heart. But thats real Proof of Work.

NYT claiming Adam Back is Satoshi is at best poor journalism and at worst FUD designed to make normies think the guy who created bitcoin is in the Epstein files. Unfortunately, most will probably believe it.

I attempted to write an article (without using AI) to a normie audience explaining why AI is ironically inflationary. I found it extremely difficult to distill a complex topic. It just turned into a word salad. Then I gave in and asked Claude. In 5 seconds spit out what took me hours to try and articulate way better than I ever could. Below is what I believe is the most concise way of explaining. Besides the fact that I have to accept I’m a horrible writer, it only sunk in more about how cooked we really are. “The core insight is that the modern financial system runs on debt, and debt requires income to service. When AI systematically eliminates jobs or suppresses hiring at scale, it doesn't just create a social problem — it creates a balance sheet crisis. Unemployed and underemployed workers can't pay mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, or student debt. Default rates rise. The securities built on top of those loans — the CDOs, CLOs, ABS products, and money market instruments that underpin the financial system — start to crack. Banks tighten. Credit freezes. The whole leveraged edifice wobbles. At that point, the Federal Reserve faces its usual impossible choice: let the system clear and risk a depression, or intervene with liquidity. It will print. It always prints. And the injection of trillions of dollars to backstop failing credit markets is, by definition, monetary inflation — every dollar created dilutes the purchasing power of the ones already in circulation. The deepest irony is that AI makes production cheaper while making money worth less. You might be able to get a widget for half the price, but if the dollar buys 30% less than it used to, you're not ahead. Productivity gains get swamped by monetary debasement. The technology that was supposed to make everyone richer instead accelerates the wealth transfer from savers and wage earners to asset holders — the people who own the AI, the real estate, the equities — while the Fed's money printer quietly taxes everyone else. It's deflationary in goods, inflationary in money — and that combination is historically one of the most destabilizing a society can face.”

GM NOSTR I’ve concluded that GLP-1s are hands down the most fiat thing to ever exist. Maybe I’m biased because I work in the industry and see it in my day to day but it’s shocking (and frankly terrifying) the level of demand for these drugs. It’s hard for me to see it any other way besides most people are completely unwilling to take any form of responsibility or accountability for their own health. Sad.

The thing I’ve never understood about the argument of quantum computing breaking bitcoin is that in this hypothetical world bitcoin would be the last thing anyone should be worried about. This is way above my pay grade and maybe I’m missing something but my understanding is literally every computer system that uses current encryption standards would also break. So idk maybe cracking keys to nuclear systems or the global banking system is probably what you should be concerned with, not magic internet money. But I’m just a pleb, what do I know.
