You need enough knowledge about your investment to weather volatility, which is not risk itself but an unequal balance between knowledge and entropy among the minds involved.
Ideally, knowledge compounds alongside wealth over a long time horizon.

I think it’s mostly about morals and values. As Niccolò Machiavelli pointed out, real power isn’t guided by morals. Morality is mostly for ordinary people, a mental framework that helps keep the sheep within their boundaries.

That’s because the virtues and values we believe in are just other stories, and stories are always a means of control.

Bitcoin as a means of exchange from a nation-state perspective never made sense.
What they are signaling is a willingness to make it the foundation of a new monetary system. That much is clear, and they have skin in the game.
If it works, the U.S. gains an advantage by devaluing gold in favor of Bitcoin.

I often wonder, looking around me, how many adults I would actually want my future child to resemble.
We live in an era where it’s harder to influence your own children than TikTok does to their minds on a daily basis.
Believing that your future adult children will turn out better than the environment shaping them is delusional.
And if you end up with the wrong woman, things become even harder.

Saylor’s just charismatic, and you need charisma if you want 99% of the global idiocracy to adopt a new technology. As always, it’s the kind of tech meant to free those of us who actually want to be free.

Peace, love, good, evil, these are command-line commands wired into our kernel.
They’re embedded illusions, exploited to control and manipulate the masses.
There’s only one reality, for both individuals and nations: power.
Power means the ability to inflict kinetic damage on your adversary.
If you can’t do that, you’ll lose, no matter how full your mouth is with righteous, empty words.

Your speeches are always very interesting and emotionally engaging. Unfortunately, this is what most men tend to do when they can exert power over others—I doubt we can change that. The only way to protect oneself from it seems to be by gaining more power, which may be selfish. But unlike you, I believe humans are fundamentally barbaric—only superficially civilized by protocols engineered by a few enlightened individuals among us.

Capire Bitcoin significa capire cosa sta andando storto nella nostra società,
Capire che la storia è ciclica ed il denaro un mezzo di coordinazione attraverso lo spazio ed il tempo.
Significa capire perché le pensioni sono una promessa difficile da mantenere, Capire Bitcoin significa capire perché i prezzi della cassa malati aumentano ogni anno.
Capire Bitcoin significa capire la profezia di Orwell e di Aldous Huxley e cercare attivamente un alternativa,
Capire Bitcoin significa accettare che l'essere umano non è buono né cattivo ma spinto da incentivi, che questi incentivi sono il motore della nostra evoluzione.
Significa capire che bisogna rinunciare all'immediato presente per consolidare un futuro migliore, che la stabilità va guadagnata e non viene regalata.
