How often do you think about your sovereignty as an individual? Much like our health, sovereignty is not appreciated until it's compromised. The question becomes “how much agency do I REALLY have?” Two priorities become abundantly clear. 1) Physical safety and 2) Asset protection. For physical safety, it’s complicated, and 99% can’t do much about it. if I have to evacuate. Can I? I can ask permission: permission to leave and permission to be let in. Do I have the right color passport? For many, the answer to the above questions is no… just the genetic luck of the draw. None of us chose the color of our passports. For asset protection, it’s complicated, but 100% of us CAN do something about it. if I want to move my assets, can I? I can ask permission. Permission to move my money, permission to “liquidate” my portfolio. I can't move my property. Will “they” accept? What if it’s a bank holiday? What if it’s above the “daily limit”? Again, what if I have the wrong color passport? For many, the answer to the above questions is “maybe”. Sorry, but fuck that, “maybe” is not good enough. I want an asset I can carry in my head, access from anywhere in the world, and be able to send any amount, any time, to wherever I want. Instantly. Permissionlessly. Permissionlessly. Fuck asking for permission to move MY MONEY. Whether you’re an individual, a business, or a country, your goal should be to maximize sovereignty and agency over your own affairs. Money determines how much agency you have, and will greatly help you manage your physical safety issues. There is only one asset in the world that: - has no counterparty risk. - cannot be censored. - cannot be debased. - can be transferred anywhere, instantly. - can be fully self-custodied. - can be used PERMISSIONLESSLY. Study bitcoin. It’s more important than you think.

“This superiors intellect will merge with ur biological frame and then you’d just download a skill, like kung Fu” This came up during my friends and i’s weekly pow wow sesh about the state of AI and Bitcoin… without flinching, we unanimously agreed this shit is inevitable, and together we said “The matrix dude” and bust out laughing histarically. Living life on the precipice. What a time to be alive.

Literally no one. 😂 wild times ahead.

Good reminder to stay vigilant and guard ur intellectual sovereignty 💪 https://fountain.fm/episode/sZbrOYFd3DU5F7oVx897 View quoted note →

Is it disturbing or optimistic to realize that so few people understand bitcoin?

It’s so predictable because it’s so short-sighted. A classic symptom of the fiat mind virus. No principled man, with decent common sense, would ever think creating a surveillance state, outlawing privacy, and restricting personal freedoms, is a sustainable path to prosperity. These are unprincipled men who can only thrive in corrupt environments. Fungus on a corpse. Principled leaders think long term, empower people, and most importantly don’t counterfeit their money. “It’s the economy stupid.” Get ur grubby hands off our money, back off, and let us trade in piece. You are free to trade too. And then maybe, just maybe instead of censoring hate speech, you’ll be showered with love songs. Instead of eavesdropping into people’s DM, you’ll get tagged in public adulation. Ballads about your magnanamoty to echo through eternity. But not unprincipled men, who cannot see beyond their nose. But we do. It’s all so stupidly predictable. Fuck you, we chose: Open source p2p money: Bitcoin Open source p2p communication: Nostr Open source self hosted AI: #asknostr Open source privacy on ur devices: #asknostr This is the way. Walk tall and kick ass. #gm nostr

Today I discovered that I can explain money and bitcoin much better than the CEO of Coinbase… nice.

Bitcoin is probably the best form of money ever created.

How fitting is it that the author of the Bitcoin Standard, the book orange pilling millions and accelerating the transition to sound money, and defunding the war machine, is Palestinian. Cc @saifedean

Taxes to pedophiles... what a world.

It’s not a Jewish issue. It’s haves vs have nots. It’s the ruling class further extracting value from the masses to enrich themselves. Central banks, military industrial complex, big pharma, big food, big tech etc. are all extractive industries who use money printing, or access to money printing to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. They are in bed with intelligence agencies, who operate child sex trafficking operations to blackmail key decision makers across various industries and countries. Can I imagine how fucked in the head u must be to normalize this as standard operating procedure? You do not hate these people enough. Which religion is over represented within these circles is irrelevant. It’s a distraction. They are all human parasites, and you owe it to your children to do everything you can do avoid enriching them. Opt out. Adopt bitcoin. Add value to the world, and save in BTC.

Grok 4 is impressive, but I can’t get over the fact that Elon is a Zionist supporter. This should be a red line issue for anyone with a soul. I’ll just wait a few weeks for a new alternative to emerge. Preferably open source and private. It happened with Electic cars, the Chinese are shipping products way better and cheaper than Teslas. It’ll happen with AI even faster. Opt out and defund all those who support genocide. Their ideologies are not compatible with human civilization, and we should never normalize their stance by doing “business” with them.

Every. Day.

Is there a way to have a WHOOP where only I could access my data? No third parties #asknostr
