I think a lot of Leo Tolstoy is grandstanding meaningless bs. Just an honest opinion.

Still zapped it tho.

31 sats \ 3 replies \ @SaloonCat 27 Apr

Were you thinking of anything in particular?

42 sats \ 2 replies \ @Reign 27 Apr

“ There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth." "To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it." "True life is lived when tiny changes occur.”

Read that and tell me it doesn’t just sound like a bunch of words that sound good put together. The whole thought really is quite pointless and ill-thought. That is considered one of his more famous quotes.

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @SaloonCat 27 Apr

That seems like three distinct quotes from different works, though I don't know which.

I'm very sceptical of internet quote culture, I find it to be a huge net negative in terms of understanding. It seems that everyone points to the same few lines of the same few works and very often they make no sense outside of their context. To point to the original quote:

When you understand everything you can forgive everything.

That's taken from War and Peace and I recognised it, but it's a female character written by Tolstoy quoting a French-Swiss author who wrote:

Comprendre, c'est pardonner.

In the novel, she says (in French):

Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner.

It's usually translated as:

To understand all is to forgive all.

It helps paint the character and illustrates the influence of French thought and language in Russia at the time of Napolean's attempt to conquer it. Throughout the novel, Tolstoy is scathing as regards the Russian aristocracy and its mindless acceptance of Western European culture. Like Dostoevsky, he sees it as a mark of low self-esteem in the Russian character.

So in the end, I find reading quotes and making assessments based on them can often lead to judgements that don't reflect the author's work or intentions.

I'm fond of Tolstoy but he has a huge of body of work I haven't read. I was just very surprised at the level of vitriol, I've never seen that before regarding his work.

31 sats \ 0 replies \ @Reign 27 Apr

Like I said, a lot of grandstanding. Also, not quite vitriol. I enjoy direct communication. It’s why I enjoy Darths comments.

1372 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 27 Apr

Ok, I will tell you something today... I don't want to create a new main post for this, is more like a "cowboy" warning in the SN Saloon. If somebody else would like to investigate more, following the money, an investigative journalist or something, please go ahead, take my suspicion and follow the facts, write the story. I am giving you just another point of view.

Silk Road leads to Samourai

I said many times that Silk Road case was sting operation, prepared by the feds FROM THE BEGINNING. I studied a lot that case, because I lived those days. Silk Road was the first hit the feds wanted to do against Bitcoin because it was getting too much attention.

TLDR:

Silk Road was created by the feds, then they coopted/convinced Ross to run it. They needed a patsy. Even that he didn't know, they have those abilities to do such thing.
they let Ross to run it, watching it closely and even encourage it
they wait until it became big so will have a huge impact on Bitcoin community.
they also accumulate all the info about its users for "future use"
they put Ross in jail for life so he cannot speak anymore about this

Do you want to study more about Silk Road case? Here I put a series of links to information that matter in this case

Now, after many years, Samourai operation got "busted". It looks like busted, but is not, is just a facade.

I will call it here before anybody will say anything: Samourai was another sting operation organized by the feds, for years. Same as Silk Road.

Why? Obviously: to hit hard again in Bitcoin community and also keeping away all the normies and those newbies that just entered into this world.

The whole story of Samourai stinks. This is linked to way more other operations then we can imagine. I personally do not believe that the Samourai devs were not feds, pretending to be bitcoiners. Yeah maybe deep inside they were bitcoiners, but working for the feds from the beginning.

TLDR:

feds couldn't link so many bitcoin addresses, users, wallets without collaboration from such a service
this whole story of "money laundering" stinks badly and is the fabricated story to get them jailed and later lose end of them, converted into some kind of protecting witness or something like that. Their faces will not be anymore in the news.
feds needed such tool to be able to hit hard Bitcoin community

Just think about this...

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @BTCSRB 27 Apr

Dear Darth, do you think if Liquid Network is fed's sting operation? Or even Boltz? Peg-out in Liquid and swapping LN to on-chain on Boltz can also be useful in collecting addresses and users just like in Silk Road and Samourai.

and why Ross is agree with that?

again, why the devs do that?

Just think about this...

32 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 27 Apr

Ross doesn't have to agree. he just played a role without even knowing. That is a patsy. A clueless executor.

In Samourai devs case, I think is different: they knew about whole operation and they helped.

Joke of the day:

A cowboy dies and, he was a bad fellow, he goes straight down to hell. When he gets down there the devil is waiting. The devil says, 'you have three choices for ways to spend your eternity. Do you pick door number one, two or three?' The cowboy says, 'Let me check what's behind door number one.' The door opens and he sees hundreds of people standing on their heads on a wood floor. 'I don't want this,' he says, 'let's try door number two'. The door opens and he sees hundreds of people standing on their heads on a hard cement floor. 'Woah! I don't want to spend the rest of my life like that! What's behind door number three?' The door opens and he sees hundreds of people drinking coffee, and having a good time, but they are all up to their knees in horse poo. 'I'm a cowboy, I'm used to horse dung. I'll go with door number three,' he says. The devil hands him a cup of coffee and introduces him to the crowd and leaves him to it. After ten minutes, the devil comes back in and says, 'Coffee break's over. Everybody back on their heads.'

Taxpayer

Although this term may seem simple, i.e. “a person who pays taxes” we need to understand that only a person can pay taxes, but not a living breathing man or woman.

Therefore if you accept this title, you have agreed to become a person, and therefore you have become taxable.

Citizen

To understand the meaning of Citizen, we must first address the word State.

Note: the word State is referring to your state of mind. Your state of mind has to be controlled to accept the legal fiction of government.

A State is a legal corporation, set within a nation or territory, from which a political community controlled by a government reside. In basic terminology it is a business.

A citizen is a person who owes allegiance to the State, and is entitled to “rights”, privileges and “protection”.

Meaning that a citizen is an employee of the business called “The State”, and as an employee you have traded your freedom and rights, for privileges.

Your status is now at the lowest level.

Note: the word State is referring to your state of mind. Your state of mind has to be controlled to accept the legal fiction of government.

also from what I noticed, many people attach too much with their "own country", like they might feel being attacked or something if you say something bad about that place - when you don't feel anything whenever others mention about the place where you were born to even live in, then it would be a good state of mind.

you are a unique and living and breathing man/woman, not under any imaginary borders.
