Seeing shit like this just makes me very confident that this “cycle” is going to be a repeat of 2017. The narrative back then was geared towards investors not gamblers and the Wall Street types are going to use that web3 shit on boomers to commission cycle them like crazy. Seeing as Altcoins only just started pumping, this cycle is still very early and I don’t think Bitcoin falls with the alts at the end of it.

Can we have an honest dialogue about government? Anarchists and Communists need not apply to talk because you refuse to acknowledge that the simple fact that I and many disagree with you makes your ideology impossible to implement without extreme violence. But let’s be real here, government isn’t a charity. It is in fact the original corporation. If it isn’t profitable, it fails and is replaced by a different one. As a society, the west has lost the plot by pretending like it is a charity and making them unprofitable and implementing tyrannical taxes for funding under bullshit morality arguments. We should want our government acting more like a corporation. The ideal government would be one that is highly focused on its purpose. These have traditionally been services falling under the classification of security, utilities, sanitation, etc. So in an ideal world, a government would do those things and only charge a service fee type tax that are constitutionally rate locked in as a percentage. This would best be described as a local government that focuses on its purpose of police, fire, sanitation, transportation, etc. and creating a very positive business environment. The trick to making this serve the people, eliminate all taxes besides sales tax. Either the government is growing the cities economy with their policies and tax base to raise yearly income or they are losing money. The city government gets to keep and spend that money they generate however they like, but they are a business and the citizens are shareholders who get a vote on corporate leadership. Also, eliminate elections every so many years, make it a minimum term with a requirement of so many citizen signatures to call a new election. We need longer term planning and h tho e elimination of the election cycle money parasite.

This man wants war no matter what the circumstances are. He is a vampire with how much he desires blood.

I agree to within limits. There is no such thing as collective salvation. They are out of your control and one must be able to accept the fact that they are. You must be able to separate your part of giving advice and the responsibility if they don’t follow it. Further, at a certain point it may simply be dangerous with some of them…are you able to recognize when you can’t save the drowning man because he will bring both of you under?

Frankly, it isn’t our responsibility if other people choose to be stupid with their money.

It only seems like a war because the window being looked at isn’t big picture. Crypto will be the same as fiat, just be in the world and not of the world. Live a life as an example and when people ask how you live successfully and happily tell them Bitcoin is your money. One won’t win people over by being loud. Name one street corner preacher who has ever brought people to Jesus. You can bring a horse to water, you cannot force it to drink.

The simple fact that people across the US are talking about rent control is all the evidence you need that inflation and government spending is out of control. If the free market is demanding prices outside of what you think is reasonable, there is a government money problem. The market doesn’t lie and neither does it seek to price out customers. It wants to serve as many people as possible.

Stable coins are a necessary evil. Why, because of the dollar milkshake theory. Fiat hides its nature by pointing to the worst actors and claiming relative value against other currencies. Stable coins will allow this paradigm to be shattered by creating a singularity and once fiat is in the singularity, it can only be compared to Bitcoin. We don’t have to scream loud because the truth is inevitable and those who are smart will adopt Bitcoin sooner than those who aren’t. Everyone gets the price they deserve.

I don’t see an investment portfolio that beats the combination of Energy (nuclear heavy) and Bitcoin (the asset and companies). I’m sure people will want to include AI in this as well, but those two main exposures will be the majority of growth. If you want AI, then I’d say my dystopian view is adding a combination of Palantir, Netflix, Spotify, Tesla, Amazon. (Military, Tv, Music, Robots, Logistics/cloud)

I think people underestimate the super cycle potential. We could be in the suddenly phase already and we just don’t recognize it. What if suddenly is simply a yearly rise of 2x or something…what if institutional adoption/monetization of Bitcoin absorbs most of the inflation. A yearly inflation rise of 100-200% would be substantial, it’s just not noticeable outside of Bitcoin because of the dollar milkshake theory.

How the fuck does anyone fall for XRP these days? Such a stupid fucking scam.

I still think a Super Cycle is possible because no one on twitter is really talking about it. By Super Cycle, I simply mean a lack of a bear market with a crash larger than 20%.
