The question that will define this era: can we sacrafice our egos to seize victory? #bitcoin #nostr

I wouldn’t say smart, but I would say genuine.

Interact with people, say stuff to them, and that’s how you build follows. If you just post into the void, it feels really dumb tbh. So post whatever insight you have, but just make sure you engage with people or you won’t have a good time. my 2 sats

It’s also harder for the older to perceive because they owned the appreciating assets that shield them from the abuse, which seems like comfort. For my father in law to accept bitcoin for the moral corrective it is, is to tacitly accept that his nominal gains were the fruit of debasement. He likes to think he was just smarter than everyone, and that’s a blow to the ego. Ego will keep many on the sinking ship.

I won’t compromise my values, but I am an optimizer. I’ll work as smart and hard as a I can: keeping my soul intact.

It’s in the vernacular, I don’t know if it can be put back in the bottle, but I have to try.

Love you and your work, but we have to stop letting fiat off the moral hook with “fiat is broken” There is no repairing it. It’s fucking evil: a universally scalable instrument of enslavement. The moral case, grounded back to Aristotle, is laid out in an accessible form in my book “Modern Chains” Let me know and I’ll hook you up with a copy.

If you’re looking for a contender to add to the shelf, I don’t think you can go wrong giving “Modern Chains” a look.

no, just short hand for a meme

Perhaps a reason why we have a hard time orange pilling those closest to us is because when we spit macro at them, we are looking down at them for not already getting #bitcoin “peer-to-peer” means equal dignity. Talk across to them. this also helps #nostr

Thanks 🙏 And I’m in the same boat. Audiobooks let you listen while driving or mowing the lawn. So much easier. I’ll get it done, I promise. work so hard to get the book out, but there is still much to do!

Yep, that’s why I wrote my book. The ethics is what drives the economics. DM me and I’ll send you a copy. https://www.modernchains.com

When two individuals trade, they each have to bring value they created in reality to the table. They persuade the other with the value they offer and consent to trade When the government takes freshly printed money and trades, all they bring to the table is coercion and threat of force. There is no value inside freshly printed money. #bitcoin #nostr

#bitcoin ‘s use-value is all the created value in the entire world. It’s exchange-value “price” is diminimus to that. So to the extent exchange-value exceeds use-value, it’s not a bubble at all. In fact, it’s more like a black hole or something subsuming created value.

The book is out. Let me know where to send it and I’ll get it moving your way.
