I didn't know the Chinese were paid in Right Mouse Buttons, good on them for using commodity money 🤔

Nobody in Russia has ever tried to harm me other than by selling me cheap natural gas and downright gross foodstuffs. "My" government however - the one with the legal monopoly over my life - coercively (and violently, if need be) takes my money without giving anything in return and continues to burden me with an ever-growing pile of senseless and contradictory rules. So don't try to tell me who and where my enemies are.

If the collective is everything, I am worth nothing, and that's how they treat me. I dream of a place like Ayn Rand's Atlantis where nothing is given to you or taken from you, everything can be produced, sold, and bought without regulations, taxes, or money printing, where people are able to live by their own products and achievements.

Life would be neither expensive nor complicated without a metaphorical and sometimes literal government boot on out necks.

Absolute banger, well researched and well written.

If it's all the same to you, be a trader, not a rent seeker.

I love seeing bitcoin and gold soar, each rallying while the other is correcting, consistently hammering home the fact that the coercive money the looters, bureaucrats, and child killers are forcing upon decent people cannot last and will go down in history as another failed attempt at extracting wealth from the world without giving anything in return, like Persian god kings, Lacedaemonian militarism, absolutist monarchy, and Soviet communism.

with what?

Giddy up, jingle-fuck.

Hey, at a pace of 4.84 per 31 days you could probably cross the Sinai in about, say, 40 years?

Fair enough, I don't zap on Primal because of their KYC thing, for that I use Amethyst because it simply opens your default lightning wallet with an invoice pre-loaded, which is probably the best feature Amethyst has, overall UX is rather middling there 😅 Cashu I can't seem to trust, I don't fully know what it is but they always talk about minting and vibe coding, two things I don't want to do, except minting my own silver coins with the Gadsden snake on them 😄
