Interesting Stuff

The. bankers run the world. It's Bitcoin that frees us from their control.

Fiat money forces you to worship it if you hope to keep any of it. Our struggle for sound money is at core, a spiritual one.

Every politician promises to clean up the mess in Washington. The problem is they can't because the money created the mess and the money ain't getting fixed.

There are people that feel entitled to your stuff, and sadly they are egged on by politicians who want to gain power. Nostr and Bitcoin are how we can put this mentality where it belongs: in the trash.

The fearful stay well within the Overton window. The rebellious play at the edges. The courageous go where their knowledge and understanding takes them, which these days is well outside.

The end of dictatorships is almost always economic. But sadly, fiat money lets them stay in power by bringing consumption forward.

Hilarious thing I just read. There was a position during the Tudor Period called the "grooms of the stool" whose job was to wipe the king's backside after #2.
