The socialist urge to tax billionaires is almost, but not quite, inline with the libertarian stance. They want to tax them and perpetuate the coercive nature of the state, while the libertarian would prefer to end the corporate welfare state altogether.
We both agree the billionaires have centralized capital on the backs of the plebs. Libertarians would just prefer to prevent the mechanism rather than adopt it.

Thinking about how easy it is for us to turn something into an existential crutch. Iβve been reducing my coffee intake, and when I hit my daily limit, I find myself wondering what the hell is the point of all this? π
Iβm spending a few nights in an expensive city next weekend and I asked an old friend who lives there if I could spend a few nights at his place. I could do Airbnb or hotel but theyβre completely overpriced. Iβve known this guy for close to 25 years. Yet I felt this guilt of burdening him by asking.
On the flip side, Iβve let bitcoiners stay at my place and vice versa, without question or hesitation. Sometimes after knowing each other for days or even hours. (Note that itβs always a mutual friend connection that I trust, not just any random person).
I think that says a lot about having a shared passion and vision for the world.
