Diplomatic recognition is the end game of any network state
Recognition requires a state which requires land - but land is hard to acquire
special economic zones, federalist systems, and e-citizenship provide some guidance as we build towards alternate governance systems

How to create good goals for achieving a life of funded contempt where money and meaning are in balance 👇
--------------------------------
Connection
Humans are social creatures who have a deep sense and desire of belonging. We are all born into a tribe and through our own life experiences discover and build our individual identities
This is our community – Who is in your village?
________________________________
Control
Humans have been given the gift of free will, individual agency, and autonomy. It is in our nature to want freedom and to seek the opportunity to tell the story we want to tell.
These are our objectives – What do you want to achieve?
-----------------------------------
Competence
We humans are technological beings. There’s no idea out there that your mind cannot comprehend given the time and the effort. We seek mastery over something that is important to us. Fulfillment is finding your unique strengths in what you love to do and using those to help others
These are our values – What are you great at?
-------------------------------------
Context
In addition to being technological beings, humans are also spiritual beings and throughout our history we have sought a greater connection with our creator. People who live for and believe in something beyond themselves have more meaningful lives.
This is our purpose – What moral framework do you live by?

What #bitcoin is to opting out of funny money, network states are to opting out of clown world governance

A financial plan is only as good as the goals it is trying to achieve.
Superficial and misguided targets can be detrimental to a plans success
Take the time. Think deeply. Ask the hard questions.

If anybody affected by the @Swan layoffs has their securities license(s), please get in touch.
DMs open and I will be in Nashville this week

Stablecoins are tokenized US debt
$USDT is the 16th-22nd (depending on source) largest buyer of treasuries
As traditional buyers (nation states, banks, etc.) dry up, stablecoins represent a totally new class of buyer at auction
New demand for treasuries = more money printing

We need multiple American ASIC manufacturers desperately 🇺🇸
Chinese ASIC manufacturers currently have well over 50% market share
Great step in the right direction. I hope they can be competitive and make an impact in the #bitcoin mining industry

Grassroots movements are driven by the collective efforts of ordinary, often brilliant people. These movements start at some sort of community or local level and grow organically.
This is the spirit of bitcoin.

Persistent inflation underscores the limitations and often the failure of central planning.
Policies aimed at controlling economic variables through monetary manipulation have repeatedly led to economic distortions, boom-bust business cycles, and unintended consequences

2024-07-18 13:38:45

#bitcoin is by far and away the most advanced and decentralized technology that humans have ever invented
Because Bitcoin is actually decentralized, participants cannot be deprived of the rights it provides them and are incentivized to keep it decentralized.

Well I guarantee it wasn't because of socialism and unreliable energy

Great quote by @npub1dtg…up6m on @npub1guh…6hjy's pod
"We are now the barbarians... setting the foundations for going to the stars."
Particularly important given recent events that we remember we are the generation of the 4th turning.
Blessing and a curse. Better start building.

Bitcoin is THE standard for decentralization. Any claim to decentralization needs be measured against Bitcoin’s standards
Encouraging the participation in any network or technology that is not the decentralized standard severely compromises the user of such network/technology

This centralization sucks. I host my own email and it almost always goes to people spam. Its like a tax for trying to be sovereign.

The Uniparty...
-Prints $1T every 100 days
-Has amassed $217T (holy shit) in unfunded liabilities
-Unfunded liabilities is 6.2x larger than the national debt
-$27T of unfunded liabilities is social security
Translation = You were lied to and robbed
Realistically, Americans are left with two options
A) You won't get the SS money back you paid into the pool (theft) and were promised
B) They will print money to cover the deficit and you will get enough of a stipend to do approximately nothing with
@MartyBent & @profstonge break down the numbers simply and beautifully this week. Give their work a follow, its great.

There are 13,609 reachable #Bitcoin nodes running around the world
Sovereign individuals in the the US run the most nodes in the world at ~9% of market share followed by GER (~8.5%), & FRA (~2%)
Lets accelerate and make America the dominant node running nation in the world

Thankful for @MikeBenzCyber and @FFO_Freedom for exposing tyrants
Europe used to stand for Western ideals like freedom and democracy
Now they have authored the "arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world."

Very excited to share my thoughts on why #bitcoin is the standard of decentralization
From grass roots movement to global node network and billion(s) dollar mining operations
Our unalienable network has never been nor will it ever be owned or controlled by a central authority
