NoteMay 10

Sad mother's day to Ethereum! The mother butthole from which all other shitcoins emerged and caused untold amounts of pain and suffering to all who got caught in its exploitative economics.

NoteMay 9

RIP UOG

NoteMay 8

You have to consent to be distracted.

NoteMay 7

You don't have to understand every technical detail about Bitcoin, but it certainly helps when you're asked to justify your belief in it.

NoteMay 6

Gresham's Law forces good money out of circulation when there's an artificial peg. Thiel"s Law naturally makes good money the preferred medium when the money freely floats.

NoteMay 5

Most people are deeply demoralized by the lies they are propagandized to swallow. The truth would set them free, but they fear it. They'd rather be the doorkeeper at an acceptable institution than ruler of their own castles.

NoteMay 3

Experiences vs. Stuff debate is a wrong framing because it's missing the third option: saving.

NoteMay 2

The work of self-sovereignty is never-ending. Best to understand that before you start out.

NoteMay 1

If you don't trust the government with your money, why are you trusting them with your children?

NoteApr 30

LLMs have not just increased the volume of spam, but have blurred the line—the distinguishing marker—between signal and noise in every content arena.

NoteApr 29

Your boomer relatives are getting wrecked by phones right now.

NoteApr 28

Put your money where your mouth is. You don't get to route around the powers that be for free.

NoteApr 26

I'd hate to say it, but Trump getting assassinated would have saved his presidency and legacy, much in the same way it did with Lincoln.

NoteApr 25

Quantum Computing will never die as long as there are people who are incentivized to make it seem like more than it is.

NoteApr 24

Hard forks are a clever way for investors (VCs, mostly) to exit losing investments. They'll run the same playbook as they did with ZCash, just watch.

NoteApr 23

Pride says that you have ideas. Humility says that the ideas have you.

NoteApr 22

In retrospect the country-by-country bans/restrictions/taxes on smoking (~2005-2015) was the canary in a coal mine for authoritarian government.

NoteApr 22

Hard not to cringe a little when you see a pic like this.

NoteApr 21

NoteApr 19

The reality of the left is that most of their activists/supporters are paid in one way or another by fiat money printing, so the right has no chance from within the system. The only way out is through.

NoteApr 18

If you're getting deceived, it's worth finding out what flaw the liars are exploiting.

NoteApr 17

So much of maturity is just becoming comfortable with uncertainty.

NoteApr 16

Fear is the easiest emotion to stoke, and boy are we getting a lot of that in Bitcoin these days. Another reason that holding is hard.
