Yeah, this was a spot on analysis.

From what I've watched, he's head and shoulders above the other Bitcoin influencers. It's not a high bar, but still.

Not really an influencer imo, but I get what you mean.

When normies plus institutions control more bitcoin than real bitcoiners, we have a problem. But, will normies self custody? I don't think so. My hope is that normies can transform into die hard bitcoiners and the truth will set us free.

You're more optimistic than I am for sure. Most normies will just do whatever is default, and being a sovereign Bitcoiner is most definitely not the lowest-friction, default path. At this point, we'd need institutions to fail (e.g. some large ETF or exchange to get hacked, or get caught selling Bitcoins they don't have) or a Great Taking type scenario to get a self-custody revolt. It's best to just focus on oneself, e.g. start your own, small community, be self-sufficient, enjoy life.

Bitcoin is a one-way street leading deeper and deeper into the bowels of all the other conspiracy theories. One after another, they turn out to be true. There is no turning back once you have crossed a certain threshold. The overton window shifts so far that there is no hiding. The truth wants to be free. This is propably the point where they kill everyone and start the orphan trains and insane asylums. But, maybe not 😀

Bitcoin and the Covid scam have definitely helped shift the Overton window, but when enforcement tech gets better and cheaper, the system can afford less consent. Improved enforcement tech = consent substitution which is exactly what you see in the real world. The UBI slaves (aka NPCs) will always greatly outnumber us, but we'll have to adapt and overcome.

Very strange that I'm unable to zap you but able to zap others, and you zapped me so I assume your wallet is connected. I use Primal, what app/wallet do you use?

Never mind. I had to change some configurations because lnd doesn't work properly atm.
