Great speech. It’s liberation day for every race, color and creed.

Switched 20 years ago. It was a great decision. I don’t miss Windows even a little bit. The only downside at the time was everything was in Office. But now with the online availability of Office even that minor inconvenience is gone. Games might still be an issue for some but, a lot of it can run on Linux (Steam). All around better for privacy, security and usability.

Germany is in a bad spot but all of the EU and UK are no better. They’ve had years of bad energy policy and a disastrous war. Their markets are no longer competitive with the rest of the world. Simply put, their products are too expensive. VW is moving production out of Germany and shutting factories. They will need to dramatically devalue the euro to compensate. However, the US also must devalue the dollar to make the debt nominally payable. A fight that the US will win. Next up is capital controls in the EU to stop the capital flight.

What else would you expect from a Sith? I've told him before, Bitcoin takes all types.

Existence itself is a cosmic joke. Turtles all the way down is a perfectly valid structure for the universe. There is no requirement for a foundation beyond the game itself.

Everyone knows it’s turtles all the way down.

18 year olds are prone to making poor choices. Place a 10 year time lock on the gift.

Bitcoiners understand the primary purpose of the CB is:

Printer go Brrrrr.....

This behavior is not surprising when viewed through the lens of Austrian theory. The disutility of labor has been a known phenomena in Austrian economists for decades.

When individuals receive financial support without the need for work, they choose to minimize their labor participation. Recipients of UBI worked less and experienced longer unemployment durations. When basic needs are met through cash transfers, the disutility of labor outweighs its benefits. This is a key tenet of Austrian economics: if the costs of working—whether in time, effort, or stress—exceed the perceived rewards, individuals will opt for leisure.

Thanks for that! I hadn't seen that little gem.

Thanks for sharing. This is quite nice. Would you share some details about how you accomplished this? e.g. software, configs etc?

It’s the modern version of feudalism. There is an aristocracy who own most of the assets. The rest are serfs who pay rent. But without the noblesse oblige. You are a deplorable so who cares if you suffer.

and make no mistake the crises is coming. This is just one more data point.

There have been great thinkers in economics including giants like Mises and Rothbard. Unfortunately, modern economics is bought and paid for by fiat money. Bitcoin fixes this too.

Bitcoin will be light to guide Africa into a new dawn. Wakanda will be more than a dream.

The banks have become the police.

Socialism is a disease that ultimately kills the patient. The Germans should have learned their lesson with Hitler’s socialism catastrophe and the disaster of the Weimar hyper inflation. Here we go again. Money creation needs to be separated from the state and end fractional reserve banking.

Why would anyone believe that age is the deciding factor over the real issues that divide the country? Trump may not make policy sense to you, but he speaks without drifting off into mumbling incoherent words. That was the problem with Biden.

This election will be decided on border and economic (inflation) issues, both of which are monopolized by Trump.

It's time to get a real job. DEI programs and their supporters are inherently racist. These programs embed discrimination within organizations under the misguided belief that this combats racism. This is precisely why the bill prohibits programs that discriminate based on an individual's race. We don't need a committee of misguided individuals making decisions based on race.

The measure of all this “expansion” is debt based fiat currencies. Therefore, all measurement of expansion are suspect. No one can measure anything.
