With nostr being a thing, if you get censored on a big tech platform it’s kinda on you at this point. Ignore them into oblivion.

Agree, but until then chip away at the *other* stuff government shouldn’t be paying for. Abolish it all, if a judge blocks you, abolish everything you can while the libs still have an effective piece of influence. After this obstruction is removed, abolish everything currently violating 10A.

I want to use the comm app that the government fears. But rn all it takes is Jack *and* Calle to be compromised. I don’t trust Jack at all. Jury is out on Calle.

I’m currently exploring replacing my income with bitcoin and my spreadsheet generates a bitcoin $ amount that allows me to retire. Grok was very helpful in generating all the spreadsheet stuff quickly. History says never sell all your corn. So in your plan fund it with selling half of what’s left every 5 years and you should be good for the duration if you can live on the first 5 years. That’s like a 14% cagr to not give yourself a COLA. If bitcoin beats that then you have a cost of living adjustment. There’s only been two periods of 5 years that are less than that CAGR out of 123 in bitcoins existence.

Bitchat and white noise eventually should merge and become just “the nostr messaging service” where the two different approaches are abstracted away. I message you on nostr and if I have mesh access only it sends bitchat, otherwise it sends white noise. When I’m nostr CEO that’s what ima decree.

It seems binary at the moment. It’s not going to zero, it may chop upwards for 10+ years but eventually it’s just “everything divided by 21M” So if you’re 10+ years out from retirement, probably not much.

10th amendment fixes this. If everything not constitutionally given to the federal government was at the state level, voting with your feet would have an enormous impact on state spending. The city specific inflation is just supply / demand from the covid 5x of money supply making it to desirable locations bidding up prices. It’s not greedy New Yorkers charging too much. I too fail to see how the average income cannot snap up soon, or the economy goes in the tank. Which means probably rates come back in the 2’s much sooner than expected atm.

Nope. My groceries didn’t and won’t go up 40% this year *and* every year after that because of the tariffs. If stuff does cost more I’ll have the money first, with the opportunity to buy bitcoin and hedge against inflation, then later pay the higher cost. They take the income tax 40% before I see it, removing this benefit. Tariff boogeyman is only bad if Trump. Tariffs are all over the world all the time. But it’s only bad if Trump does a thing.

On your last sentence, they are trying to inhibit the “build”ing.

Trump is minimizing the power of the Fed Chair, which is accelerating the good end result of one dude not having outsized influence on the entire financial system. Bitcoin literally fixes this disaster.

TDS is widespread and the subtle “well of course” statements are easy to miss. CNBC if (anyone but Trump): “GDP 3% in one quarter, WOW!!1!1” If Trump: “I talk to people on the streets and the economy is not really that great. Also, Powell can’t cut rates because of all the inflation we are sure to get by July, I mean, August, I mean September.”
