These people need to seek help and study Bitcoin.

Yeah, always interesting to see these old definitions, with the benefit of looking back at how history unfolded. Both ideologies led to severe curtailment of liberties and concentrated control within the State. So yea, in theory they are different. In practice, however... it's complicated.

Communists and Socialists in a nutshell. They are free, at any time, to pool their resources and own the means of production. And use their "enlightened ideology" to equally share the proceeds among themselves. Now ask yourself why they insist that the state steal and redistribute these resources.

This man's story is wild. His ex allegedly threw out the hard drive. She said he told her to. He tried to buy the landfill. Failed. Constant legal battles to continue his search. The hard drive is probably destroyed by now, from exposure to the elements. Hope he stacked some bitcoin over the past 10 years to fill the void.

How would you like this wrapped, sir?

Most people can't think beyond first-order effects. They can't 'think ahead' to what might happen 2-3 steps later if they start a business, attempt a career change, or set up an investment plan. So they don't make plans or think strategically because they CANNOT. They trade their time for labor, because they don't need a strategy for that. They just do what they're told. There's comfort in that. If you've read this far, the last sentence in the post below will hit that much harder.

I'll bet you 1,000,000 sats that Bitcoin will outlast Algeria

I'll bet that bitcoin outlasts algeria

Your money sucks. Inflated into a joke since the Pandemic. Your government wants to ID you before you use social media & the internet. See the UK's grotesque Online Safety Act. Coming soon to Australia and the EU. The new Chinas. You've become heavily surveilled, highly taxed, and progressively disenfranchised. Break free, anon. Study Bitcoin. The ultimate insurance policy against banker incompetence and govt overreach. Try Nostr and decentralized social media. Speak your mind and retain your privacy. Or you can bitch moan and complain, and eventually fall in line, which is what our Dear Leaders are banking on. Or you can break free.
