Each time I hear someone talk about the Epstein files, I think to myself: 1. How could the world look any different if it was built on theft in money? 2. And who are you transferring your agency to now if you’re not measuring/building and spending in Bitcoin? Might update my agent on X to consider this and questions in relation to outrage

Thanks for the reminder! So true but still I sometimes fall into the trap of such discussions since so many are talking about it. Good training to notice oneself doing it and working on unlearning fiat reaction patterns 🧘‍♂️ Got to tune more focus into building the new instead. I guess your X agent then will spark quite some engagement 😁🍿
Have you seen his interview with Bannon? He explains fractional reserve banking and the 08 crash well. But he claims that central bankers don’t know what they’re doing because the system is so complex, and to me it seems like he is saying they are almost reactionary to the system they created and maintain. Wondering what your thoughts are on that.
Getting rid of us is impossible. We're too many. But if we wake up and choose #TheGreatAwakening over sustained violence and calling everyone who respects women and doesn't want graped children a faggot, blue-hair or some other slur, might be a start.

I can fathom the true ability to transport your time and energy into the future for your posterity being a massive incentive to be a “good” person. You are right I am still fairly new to bitcoin and have only been buying for almost 10 years now. For me it’s the slow or fast depending on your perspective slide away from proof of work. We now have many who support rent seeking behavior, where proof of stake is applauded. This proof of stake, power/control because what I have and you don’t…is exactly the psychology used to rape children and forever goes unsatisfied. I will yield that time could prove me wrong and I cannot see the future but I would respectfully ask you to see that you ask me to trust you can. I hope I am wrong, deeply, truly do. I’m just a construction worker who likes to read. If it I don’t stand a wall, I do not get paid. I can’t fathom gaining wealth from just owning assets or using my money leverage against someone who has none.
Because the ethics and morality of voluntary consenting exchange between people is baked into the protocol. Why? As long as it stays decentralized and secure and we keep it in self-custody with privacy on top of it, you’re forced to act in a ethical and moral way because money can’t be taken away from you.

We can all agree that Gold for a long period of time was very good money before technological gains rendered it not. How was society different then as we can use it to reference Bitcoin in the future?

The same can be said with Bitcoin. Wrench attacks, seizures, taxes, anyone who holds Bitcoin is an enemy to humanity. You can leverage Bitcoin, sell paper Bitcoin…many more examples. What makes Bitcoin NOT a good reason to start a war in order to confiscate or kill those with the keys? I can take it by force, I win. Or, I can kill the only way possible to access the Bitcoin making my Bitcoin more valuable, I win.

We agree on the goal, just not the path. Ideology changes the evolution of humans, bitcoin is no guarantee that ideology changes…especially when you start putting figures of 100% saturation on it.
The Epstein files are downstream of fiat's structural opacity. When money creation is discretionary and centralized, proximity to that control point becomes the ultimate currency — power flows to whoever is closest to the printer. Bitcoin's transparent ledger makes that specific pattern harder to hide, but does it prevent capture or just force it into custody/ETF layers?
Just because I get paid in dollars does not mean I consent to global pedophilia, I tolerate the state out of concern for my wellbeing. (Freedom from prison) Bitcoin is still a taxable asset by this pedophilic government. Donald trump is a child rapist. I personally feel the only way to fight this is to exercise my right to free speech and draw as much attention to these pedophiles as possible, So the people who don’t even understand the fundamental problem with money stand up and do something. The irony is that so much of the bitcoin “community” voted for and support trump when he is at the center of this ring because number go up. All those gains have been wiped out now, And if you voted for him you doxed yourself to me and I won’t use your bitcoin products.

Maybe doesn't fix everything and edge cases of threat vectors are always there on ownership and custody, but it does increase energy cost. There's little energy cost to Ctrl P to buy weapons to slaughter and invade to steal gold. Seen the argument on covenants to reduce honey pot wrench attacks by locking btc for time periods. This seems to me to have a negative second order effect of reducing btc used in circulation as money. Time will tell but the core element IMO is growing knowledge that a system based on extraction creates perverse incentives against cooperation. Humans always invent tools, all have varying impacts and levels of manipulation. It's certainly still the best looking option to grow on in order to minimise societally detrimental incentive structures.

The bitcoiners who couldn’t smell how rotten trump is and thought he would be good for Bitcoin despite his clear shitcoinery probably don’t have the good sense to make it in the long run anyway.
So surprised by who they were also! People who I genuinely consider genius! Bitcoin doesn’t need them to survive in the long run. Post trump is going to be a bad time for many people in the space.

The Files are a brutal mirror, and one of our greatest opportunities to contend with the disease in our own hearts. Immense bravery is required to gaze into those pages and to ask “how is this me?” And then to sit quietly and burn internally with the answer to that question. This is the only game going on. Everything else happening in the external world is just the pixels moving around on the screen to show us more of who we are. This is so we can contend with those aspects, and truly heal them at the core. “The line between good and evil runs through every human heart” -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

It’s like we get a year of Trump as president again and everything starts going to shit like most sane people predicted. Then, those who supported this narcissistic pedophile degenerate start telling us “You are focusing on the wrong thing…trust me, I supported a pedophile.” Yea…okay.

Um, are we going to find your name somewhere in these files or something? Your recent dismissiveness has shed a new light on your character. What is your goal in this emotional invalidation of a massive child sex trafficking ring? A person can understand the significance of Bitcoin and the sexual abuse of children simultaneously. The only place that this is a good look for you is on maga moderated platforms. Why do you make it seem like you are trying to use our passion for Bitcoin to distract us from holding powerful people that trafficked and raped children accountable? If you don’t find it reprehensible then you could just not mention it instead of trying to somehow marginalize it with a monetary protocol of all things.
Regarding the questions you ask yourself, I totally agree with the second question. It’s an absurd idea to give any importance to a currency created by these monsters. Fiat is designed to enslave its users. It's lunacy to give any importance to it. The first one though… I don’t know about it. Perhaps I am naïve, but, somehow, I think that rigging the game, stealing from everyone and trying to enslave the whole planet could have been done without all this satanic paedophilia stuff… Just after writing that I started to think that I might be wrong about it though… I once heard something interesting about this topic: At some point different mafia organizations could get their new members to be loyal to them by making them kill people. It became a secret that could be used to blackmail them and that would guarantee the loyalty. At some point a group of monsters understood that there is something that is even worse than killing a person and would be a better guarantee of loyalty.

The files did not change anything. This was always the world, it just hadn't been revealed. The question is whether the revelation of the world will motivate people to change the world.

The shift from zero-sum to positive-sum games is one of those ideas that sounds simple but rewires everything once you sit with it. Gold concentrated power because it had to be physically guarded — whoever had the army, had the gold. Bitcoin inverts that. You can hold it in your mind. No army can take what they can't find. What strikes me is the parallel to older philosophical traditions — the idea that true wealth was always about what you could contribute, not what you could extract. Bitcoin just makes that ancient intuition economically enforceable.

Looks like everyone gets 3 options: 1. Die as an enraged peasant with no agency 2. Become part of the control structure and hope it lasts long enough that the peasants come for your descendants and not for you 3. Opt out and #Bitcoin One requires nothing. One requires cynicism. One requires balls.
