True Prices Measured in Gold

The prices of basically everything (except bitcoin) have either been flat or have fallen against gold over the last few decades. The “rising prices” that your Facebook friends complain about are an illusion. It just depends on what unit you’re denominating in. We get to choose our reality. Want your life to be harder and harder to afford? Hold fiat. Want your life to be easier and easier to afford? Hold BTC.

Biggest lesson of the last half decade for me is that the “experts” don’t know shit, so you might as well think for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Will I be wrong sometimes? Of course. But I’d rather be wrong because I trusted my own intuition that someone else’s.

The goal is not more bitcoin, it’s more freedom. If something provides you more freedom than the bitcoin you spend on it, it was worth it.

BTC is hitting all time highs and nostr doesn’t give a damn. I love it.

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. - Francis Bacon

There is a close connection between truth and nonviolence. Truth-claims compete exclusively in the realm of argumentation. It would be a performative contradiction for someone to claim otherwise - their actions (engaging in argumentation) would be at odds with their claim (that truth-claims can exist outside the realm of argumentation). Therefore, it can be accepted as an axiom that truth-claims cannot exist outside the realm of argumentation. Therefore, when someone opts to employ violence or coercion, they are opting to not participate in the process of truth-finding. This person can then be promptly dismissed. When the aggressor speaks, you can rest assured that it’s nonsense.

Are you still using fiat air conditioning?
