The best move the US can make against the EU bureaucrats is to simply monetize Bitcoin. That destroys the EU in 10 years, tops. Bardella (Le Pen in France, etc) is going to ask the ECB to buy French bonds. If they say yes, Euro will further devalue, accelerating Bitcoinization, if they say no, it will push France for Bitcoinization while perhaps pursuing reform, a MAGA Doge like government basically. The US accelerating Bitcoinization like their doing now is the greatest pressure the EU could ever have. These people are finished. And then it's back to the real game of national economics. Portugal for example immediately goes into Argentina mode. :D #europe #bitcoin #politics

One of the things I've been realizing recently is that Bitcoin's divisibility (in L2 networks like Lightning, etc) will make it incredibly useful for global financial systems. I have to admit for a moment there I was a bit skeptical that there would be incentives for redistribution, i.e not hoarding. In other words, if Bitcoin is consistently growing in value in relation to fiat, what's the incentive for me to invest? And then I realized it's all about scale. Investments with Bitcoin (L2) can become very very small, global, widespread and decentralized. And there's a lot of value in that, not counting of course of all the more cooperative tokenized models for services, memberships, that could be created. Now, this will also require some legal change as we know, especially when it comes to securities law, etc. Which is already happening in the US. Basically the US will syphon capital so quick that other countries will be forced to adapt, and that will force a global SEC like deregulation everywhere in the world. Which will further accelerate the tokenization of everything, and create more investment opportunities for everyone. With tokenization we're basically gonna see S&P500 for millions and millions of companies basically. It's very exciting actually. #bitcoin #economics

Hey everyone, what would you say are the best apps/services/technology for marketplaces on Nostr currently? Stuff like finding specific people or services, people offering services, etc. Like regular classifieds like Craigslist but on Nostr, do we have anything like this today? #bitcoin #asknostr

Does anybody know why there's such a drop in Bitcoin exchange reserves? #bitcoin

In my view, real estate will be the real loser in the next 5 years (or more, maybe even 10 years). S&P500, equities in general and Bitcoin will recover quickly because of their nature and liquidity channels, real estate will take much much longer. Lots of smaller banks will collapse. They'll bailout only the bigger entities. Equities and Bitcoin might recover in something like 6 months, much faster than 2008 because liquidity injections are much faster now (there was no QE invented in 08), the market already knows the drill and there's nowhere to go. Equities, Bitcoin and gold are going to be the only global investment in the next 5 years (or more). Smart real estate people are now in panic and trying to figure out a way to get into cash. Taxes are also not going to help them. The world is going to change very fast. #economics #bitcoin #economy #investment #macro

I believe that, over time, most publicly traded companies in the S&P 500 (excluding the Mag7) will end up holding a significant share of their assets in Bitcoin. As a result, even small investments into the S&P 500 will indirectly channel capital into Bitcoin. And that's how Mag7 gets demonetized. Not by having the masses change their investment strategies that but by having the S&P500 underdogs unite under a better currency. This is how revolutions always work by the way. The underdog unite to overcome the status quo. #bitcoin #economics

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

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. #philosophy
