The difficulty in being out in front of the herd is mostly loneliness. But the views are unobstructed and huuuuge. For those following, the trail is easier but the stench of shit mixed with dust fills their nostrils. I'll take lonely anyday, thanks

I was a maxi before there were Maxis. I absolutely abhor the "M" mentality. It's like the difference between Libertarian and libertarian to me. Maxi Hodlers have complied well with the government and slave master goons and it is a bit maddening.

Well, I blame moon seekers. The pivot point was the arrest of Ross Ulbricht. All the shit can be traced back to then. If I had any doubts about how weak the herd (of bitcoiners) had become at that point, they were dispelled spring of 2016. So, imo, it was over before the majority of people who today own bitcoin has even a satoshi.

I still recall the first time someone responded *sigh* to me, the exasperated response of one defeated by their inability to make one understand. That man was Nick Szabo. I still feel the sting a decade later.

It's not the what but the who that is the problem. How was the entire world compelled to wear masks? How have 7 generations of Americans been compelled to get marriage licenses? How have millions of mothers registered at birth their children with SSNs obligating them to a portion of the National Debt? How was the 16th Amendment passed? The United States of America may have been founded by men who refused to pay for another man's war but it has been lost by those who do.

Heh. Clearly you do not know who I am. If you did, you'd know I was banned from Twitter in 2016 with one of the top 5 largest followings; I had a dozen pages removed of me from Google; and The Way Back Machine was altered to hide me in the meta. What is it you want me to be careful of exactly?

So you're "banking" on inflation? When you reach the point of valuing Bitcoin as a private, p2p, permissionless system of speech packets, you'll be closer to freedom. I'm rooting for you.

Local Bitcoin, mining, and getting paid for product and services was how onboarding occured for my generation. But it's cute to see things we said in 2011 repeated this many years later though nothing has really changed. (You and I have talked about this years ago.)

15 years later and how are you closer? I've budgeted in bitcoin since 2013 so not asking for myself. But having been absent from the online discourse for many years to now arrive here, I can assure you, the convos have devolved not the other way around.

The "Rules for thee but not for me" are changing but there still may be time to put that property in an LLC owned by your Pleb World Church that you are a member of. I don't think identifying your property as tax-free will do it.

I did and then some. When a person has a tax levy, every banking institution tied to their SSN is affected, wages are garnished etc. So all funds are removed and if another account is opened elsewhere tied to that SSN, those funds too are seized. No charges, no trial.

I had a $657K tax levy in 2009 after getting tagged by Lois Lerner from a $6k+ donation to Ron Paul. I diid not negotiate as one of the conditions was I provide previous 7 years of returns which was impossible. So I had my passport privileges revoked and all bank accounts and my trading account seized. I was able to continue trading but could not redeem. So, I traded my 6 figure trading account to 0 and started over. For the 3rd time. Fortunately, bitcoin was there for me.

I say this as someone who has never voted, but who campaigned for Ron Paul and witnessed Govt interference then was tagged by Lois Lerner- the pivot to my path: perfection is the enemy of progress. Trump is not the answer, but we share common enemies. He will be much more empathetic after all these attacks by DOJ. I hope.

It's taken me three years to join and it's only been a few days, but I am clueless how to navigate. An introductory "Welcome to decentralized social media platform blah blah. Here are a few tips: blah blah. Oh, and mind your P's and Q's as no mulligans are offered." at the point of installation would be helpful.
Incidentally, I've been strictly an on chain bitcoin user, never struck by LN. That is a whole other thing. Change tip was super easy that way.

The promise is only "as good as cash" if 1) the bank has the reserves to cover it, and 2) you've provided adequate proof that said money is not tied to any real or imagined crime.

Dude. Just humbly retract your claim that it is "monetary policy" and you can probably craft a better argument to make your point. And to your question, no, I don't. Because I know and understand what bitcoin is. Do you ever wonder why the first block contained a hidden message that was in no way whatsoever connected to any cost beyond time and energy?

2024-05-05 16:35:31

Yes, it's quite a wake up call to those who believe monetary policy is a protection. For those of us who used bitcoin to feed ourselves before any nation (the authority of monetary policies) had decided it was money, a token, a commodity, we were pretty sure on what it was: speech packets and the last bastion of secrets. The fear boys who came in post 2014 all say the same things. They just cannot stand the idea that they are not relevant.

2024-05-05 16:30:21

- reply

What a particular nation thinks about bitcoin was irrelevant until Ross's bitcoin was seized and federal marshalls declared its value in USD. I'd been using bitcoin p2p, permissionless, and privately for years before then beyond international borders. I get that you don't grok but try some humility and gratitude to those who gave up more than you will ever have so you could have any.

2024-05-05 16:00:51

When I was debanked in 2010, had my passport revoked and my 6 figure trading account levied, the value of bitcoin had zero to do with monetary policy. When I was removed from the intellectual and creative pool, stripped of access to financial services, and all privileges associated with The Plantation were revoked, monetary policy was last on my mind. But you're welcome.

Oh, really? Not that it offers plausible deniability, a divorce from rulers, and private exchange? Huh! Whatever were we thinking a decade+ ago. I don't know a single OG who pioneered and sacrificed for monetary policy.

The most difficult lesson I've learned in life is that you cannot take everyone with you to where you're going. The flippant version is: a peep of chickens walk on the ground while eagles soar alone.

What are you considering Bitcoin's first war with The State, and when did it end? By my count, The State has been at war with bitcoin since the arrest of Ross Ulbricht and the subsequent claim to a particular dollar value attached to his bitcoin, thus bitcoin in general.

I'm not sure if you are directing this at me. I don't think you are as BCH was Roger's thing, not mine. The "bitcoin is a tool" claim ought to be a standard belief unless one believes it is the End Game.

Whilst I applaud the sentiment, 50% is too high imo. Take it from someone who is sitting on a $180K couch.. 😂
Also, unless you're dumping custodied BTC, watch the chain of custody. Bitcoin is only pseudo anonymous and you don't want to expose yourself in the Meta Meadow. Lastly, if people are using anything but self custody, is it even bitcoin? I would say, No, but I'm nobody.

I commented on the post where someone asked you about your moniker. As I said, I think there should be lotsa Bitcoin Belles. I am the first and am fine with you imitating. It reminds me of 2013 when we all claimed to be Satoshi. It was fun. I hope you have as much fun as I did as Bitcoin Belle. It's so very DPR like which brings us full circle.

Oof! You need to reread the response as I did not say anyone called me BB in 2009. If you're going to talk shit, at least report facts rather than falsities. The "Belle" nickname was due to my name being Michelle. The Bitcoin was added in 2011. Do better! I know you can girl!

It's never wise to make judgements regarding matters about which you know nothing. As for a seat at the table, I left the table when I'd had enough, and returned to plowing and sowing.

Easy tigress. The "There can be only one" reference was to The Highlander, not a suggestion that you cannot use the moniker. I was flattered. I heard you were "great". I'm sure you will do the moniker proud.

To be fair, OGs, early adopters and enthusiasts all saw value in what we called altcoins whether to fail hard, fail fast then apply patch to Bitcoin, or even to onboard into bitcoin. The shitcoin label came along when the industrial bankers did and the term was originally applied to fiat, specifically USD.
