The majority of it stems from childhood trauma

Great to know, next time I refill the EVOO jars I will send you a message!

Do you ship to California?

I’d agree. Though the US financial system is flawed, it’s better than the alternatives so Americans don’t feel compelled to store their purchasing power in bitcoin yet

I tried zapping Poseidon but it tells me invalid lightning address. I zapped your OG profile instead

I don’t think anything forces wealth into bitcoin per se, it’s a permissionless protocol, non coercive by nature. The better question would be why would someone need bitcoin?Predatory governments, collapses in trust, a police state, complete anarchy with widespread violence and coercion like pre-Bukele El Salvador, Weimer-esque hyperinflations. Being able to take your life’s earnings anywhere in the world in your head is highly valuable. I would expect the central banking cartel, who benefit the most from seniorage, would be the last group to voluntarily adopt proof of work permissionless money. Their cronies can play the same casino games in the short term, but the games come to an end over time. And granted, a lot of us are from America or the first world, we don’t need bitcoin to save our families from starvation. We use it to to defend our wages and savings from debasement. But its properties are valuable, and without scarcity I don’t think it has the same value.

Repricing the world as the only verifiable finitely scarce money created through proof of work

When the third woman says “he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children” what 🤡 world are we living in. It sounds like a parody sketch of how the lizard people think

Thanks for the input. That’s enough to convince me that these are just mass surveillance tools meant to squeeze the law abiding public dry for every penny we have

If the flock cameras are truly a net benefit, we should see our insurance rates marginally decline due to more efficient criminal control. But if it’s all for surveillance, the status quo will continue, higher insurance, more fines, and less freedom.
