Sudden wealth triggers identity disruption. Every interaction becomes weighted with suspicion and obligation. Going dark isn’t cowardice, it’s often psychological survival. But the wealthy who stay engaged and help humanity flourish without selling out have something in common: they decided what kind of person they’d be before the wealth arrived. This is critical. We need to make these decisions now, before our Bitcoin success story unfolds. What will you stand for when you no longer need anyone? How will you deploy resources to genuinely help others flourish? The temptation to disappear or sell out will be immense. Every wealthy person faces pressure to optimize purely for self interest, to monetize influence, to gate keep knowledge. Resisting that requires pre commitment. Bitcoin selects for low time preference in wealth building. We need the same discipline for character building. The people who matter most will be those who chose their values before the test arrived, who decided wealth would be a tool for flourishing, not an escape from community. We know where this is going. Prepare the person you’ll become accordingly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Looks like you’re being hunted uno!

I’m 107 days late, but hello

🤣..please no

I agree with on this. Subscribe just seems more definitionally accurate than Follow because it simply means you’re opting into their content stream. It carries less ideological weight. You can subscribe to someone’s thoughts without necessarily believing in or adopting their worldview. It’s a more honest description of the actual relationship. I want to receive what you’re broadcasting, but that doesn’t mean I’m a follower in any deeper sense.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thanks GJM

There’s a little nuance but this is it in a nutshell. Democrats are blocking government funding until Republicans agree to extend $350 billion in Obamacare subsidies that expire end of 2025, while Republicans say pass a clean funding bill first and negotiate healthcare separately. Meanwhile millions of federal workers miss paychecks and benefits get suspended because DC can’t separate basic operations from policy fights.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Agree Beth.

Exactly. The signal to noise ratio here is inverted from everywhere else. Less scrolling, more substance. Bitcoin has this way of filtering for people who think in first principles. Turns out that creates better conversations

The US govt at this point is pure theatre. Period.

I have serious concerns with this framing. The legal argument doesn’t hold up. Node operators aren’t liable for encrypted data they didn’t create and can’t access. ISPs, CDNs, and Tor nodes have legal precedent here. What makes Bitcoin nodes different? CSAM has likely already been encoded in the blockchain for years through various methods. If this is truly an insta kill for adoption, why hasn’t it already happened? If Bitcoin can be killed by one attacker sending one instance of illegal content, then it was never antifragile. This argument concedes Bitcoin can’t survive adversarial use, which undermines the entire value proposition. And switch pools NOW but obviously I prefer OCEAN? That undercuts this being about Bitcoin’s survival rather than pool market share. If I’m missing something in the legal or technical analysis, I genuinely want to understand it

True. “Subscribe” just seems more definitionally accurate because it simply means you’re opting into their content stream. It carries less ideological weight.
