View quoted note → And partly they’re right: Stillman’s argument for international hegemony and interventions has been to protect American businesses operating abroad. But one might ask, why not hire private armies to do that? It's not about defending a country's borders; it's about having the right to protect a business abroad. Private armies would likely have been more peace-driven, as they had no incentive to conquer for political reasons, and they would have been much more efficient.
#Mises despised the Nazis more than any other state, Ayn #Rand loathed the Russian commies the most, so I suppose it makes sense that #Rothbard and Rothbardians would blame the U.S. for nearly every major and minor international conflict throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Neither, from the market's point of view, Bitcoin is just an option on digital gold in a digital gold standard. thank God markets aren't efficient. View quoted note → #grownostr #bitcoin
I completely understand if an American says, "Fuck you, it's my money." I respect that, and honestly, I'd probably say the same under similar circumstances. What truly disgusts me, though, is seeing people bending over for that Russian son of a bitch. Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of animal you become when you support him? And please, stop with your stupid "I'm not supporting him, I'm supporting the U.S.A."—as if you couldn’t support your country without kissing the murderer’s ass. Screw whatever the Mises Institute says. Believe me, this war has nothing to do with NATO moving eastward. Was NATO moving eastward in Syria when Putin was bombing the shit out of children? Was he protecting them from NATO then? Putin has killed and destroyed more than Hitler ever could have if he had lived past 1945.
In a world that even its von #Hayek tries to justify legitimacy of taxation, how the fuck you think you can change everything with just discussion and #democracy? Nah, you need a weapon to scare the shit out of them when showing how stupid they were in their past. And I think here, y'all know what that weapon is my comrades. #Bitcoin #grownostr

Has anyone explored using Bisq's escrow mechanism beyond currency exchanges? Locking Bitcoin in multisig escrow creates a new form of trust—why not apply it to everything, like online stores? This could eliminate third parties, reduce costs, and build trust directly between sellers, buyers, and even deliverers. Thoughts? #asknostr #bitcoin #bisq #exchange #p2p
just curious has anyone built a seedsigner that requires your finger print in order to sign something? #asknostr #bitcoin
