The unfortunate reality of politics is that ALL politics happen at the barrel of a gun

Search your feelings you know it to be true

If you have to use force it’s always creates temporary conditions. It never seems to last.

Not true. Christianity subsumed Rome.

There are two ways to change the world. 1. By force. 2. By creating your own world and inviting others to be apart of it. I’m only interested in the second. Not because I’m more noble or something (I’m not) but because it’s the only thing that lasts.

I’m 6’3

It took me my whole life to realize this but the reason I don’t enjoy the things many other people do is because I have a very strong internal locus of control. For me it doesn’t really matter where I am or what I’m doing, everything is the same. The external world changes around me, but my internal narrative dominates any and all situational input. This is why I’m content doing basically nothing most of the time.

Deep in their heart every Brit wishes that they were an American

Wrong diagnosis for me. Bullying was never a thing that happened to me.

Hilarious

“My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets.”

How many planets have you visited?

It’s always entertaining to me when someone says Americans are dumb. These people have clearly never spent time in americas elite circles. The top Americans outcompete everyone on earth in every category. It’s not even close.

I always get a little scared when has a gun

Same. When I was younger I would pretend I was having fun, now I no longer pretend.

I know a lot about bitcoin and investing and economics, but at one time I knew nothing about any of these things. 20 years ago I knew nothing about investing. 11 years ago I knew nothing about bitcoin. 7 years ago I knew nothing about economics. So what changed? Well I was curious and then I followed that curiosity where it took me. I became obsessed with the things I was obsessed with. Some people look at how expensive a house is and think they’ll never afford one, other people think “I wonder how I can make it cheaper?” And then they learn to build a house. Time is going to pass. Your time is going to pass. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in bitcoin. That time passed and I know plenty of people who have nothing to show for it. In fact that’s the norm. I’m the exception. You know why? Because they weren’t curious about anything and I am. I care. I care about my life, I want things. I believe if others have it so can I. Somebody out there has the life you want. You can have it too, but you have to give a shit about yourself. You have to talk differently to yourself. You have to focus your energy. You have to break free and very often you will have to go it alone. But the time is going to pass regardless and do you really want to have nothing to show for it? Don’t do it because you need to prove something to other people. Do it because you’re not living up to your potential otherwise. Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard? Or do you want to be who you were meant to be? It’s your call. I made my decision some time ago.

This is my politics

This is my politics

This is probably the most important part of bitcoin, it forces the individualist truth seekers into consensus with one another.

They life you mock is the life you were meant to live

Do not resent people higher than you. It’s a trap, because you cannot become something you are resenting. Admire those you wish to be like and study them. Over time you will become like them.

lol the worst thing Peter schiff can imagine for bitcoin is it going to 75k lololololol

More or less lol

Down horrendous.

18% YTD. It’s October. There’s no bull market.
