Bitcoin works perfectly as a medium of exchange though, especially with Lightning network. Which makes it very useful in my view. Gold was dead throughout the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Why? Because gold is rapidly replaced by a scarce store of value like the high interest rate money of the 80s. I think a bit of physical gold is a good investment, but a lot of gold is really more wishful thinking than anything else. We will never be able to know how much gold governments have. For me Bitcoin is the currency of freedom, not gold. But to each it's own of course. :)

Nostr is becoming very cool indeed!! Markets are the key to everything! #nostr

I don't think gold is fake, I think that the gold system can be faked. In other words, most people buy gold through a system that is likely very fake (paper gold). And apart from that, physical gold, which I do think can be a good investment now, is also not that useful in terms of medium exchange. It's just a very captured system. When you buy gold you're buying into a system that is just very fake and artificial. And doing that in a world of Bitcoin is like buying a new gas car when the EVs are going to be much better in the long term. It'll still work but it's simply the past.

The only reason I dislike gold is that I can't emotionally disassociate it from fake money, fake system, fake people, etc. It's a flaw because rationally speaking gold will be great in the next decades. But it's just annoying to invest in this fake system (gold), when you can just invest in a better system (Bitcoin), that can work better even though it'll likely be much more volatile.

Yeah, things might become very unstable for Bitcoin in the next years but eventually the principles are always right. And Bitcoin is much more transparent and useful than gold. I think the liquidity crisis is going to be brutal. Stock market people are not ready to hodl. Gold is going to be a bloodbath of scams. Next months/years are going to be wild.

I believe gold will be the last asset bubble to pop. But it'll do so. Here's what I think can happen in next months and years: ## Current - Gold explodes (as it already is doing now) - Liquidity crisis (this is currently happening) - Money printing begins ## Next years - Money printing continues - Gold continues rising, first paper gold scandals - Bitcoin keeps growing - Real estate stagnates (in real terms, power of purchase, gold or Bitcoin) ## 5 years from now - Gold scandals multiple - Gold remonetization is a mixed bag, it's hard to prove gold - More money printing to bailout paper gold and banks - Bitcoin skyrockets #economy

What an incredible talk!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS1my8S0Q8Q I've never heard about this woman! "these post-structuralists are the worst mercenary careeists in this country" Have you guys ever heard about her, Camille Paglia? Incredible stuff. Bomb after bomb, incredible. #philosophy

A lot of video games too I think.

All very cool projects!! Thanks very much for sharing, great stuff!!

Tolstoy is incredible. He was incredibly honest, based and humble. Very well read, knowledgeable of the East and West, he knew of all the problems of organized religion (especially Christianity), the state, socialism, etc, etc. Just incredibly based. Gandhi was very inspired by him. These for me are some of the best of the best people of the 19th/20th century. I really like this kind of peaceful, voluntaryist, non-materialistic culture/people. It's very refreshing in a super materialistic world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjCUyCxtDMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XROVzkdzFY #philosophy

Nostr definitely needs more left libertarians. I've been getting into this ideology lately, been reading a lot about the socialist/cooperative movement from the 19th century. It's very interesting stuff. I think the socialist movement had very strong ideals/people such as Robert Owen, among others. Centralizers/authoritarians like Marx, Lenin & completely captured the movement. But the thing had pretty good ideals. The whole utopian experiments by Owen were very legit and strong stuff. We were just talking about this kind of stuff on https://cornychat.com/eurocorn, with and . Eurocorn is a weekly (?) get together for European thinkers. This is the creme de la creme of intelectual development in Europe (and the world). The world will see!!!

Very interesting stuff. I just love how based she is. Incredibly refreshing! And this video is from 2017. She knew everything perfectly. What we see is the result of the hypocrisy she's talking about in the video. It got much much worse as we know.

Long live Nostr. Being able to say whatever the fuck we want is a god bless. Thank you Nostr and everyone that is here. #nostr
