  • At this point the rest of the world has to assume that everything is A-OK with America, and this is the America we need to plan to deal with going forward.

    The American people (as a whole) have given us no sign that they are anything more than mildly concerned about the situation.

    Please spare me the “but protests” and “I have a family” BS. The last No Kings should have been, far and away, the biggest protest in US history. It was not even close. Almost triple the amount of people came out, for (can you believe it) Earth Day in 1970.

    The US is so, so far from where they need to be to stop this, and I’m 100% positive that when people start throwing their lives at this problem, it will be far too late.





  • Ah, but if you can find the book in thousands upon thousands of libraries spread all around the world, has anything been lost?

    Bitcoin is crypto. Crypto is not Bitcoin. I strongly encourage you to look into the history of money. What has been used as money in the past, why it was used as money…rai stones are my favorite example.

    Bitcoin, if you are able to understand the mechanics of it, is the “hardest” form of money that has ever existed. History shows money always flows into the hardest asset available. It also shows what happens when that asset loses its hardness. This is why gold has been king for a long, long time.

    Then along came Bitcoin (NOT crypto, there was crypto before and crypto after), and it used game theory, the internet, math, cryptography and programming to become the most elegant store of value ever invented, which is also the hardest form of money ever created.

    I actually loathe Bitcoin, even if I admire it and buy it. It’s an energy nightmare. No one will ever convince me that it’s “green” in any meaningful way. And I’m a huge environmentalist. But I’m not an idiot. It’s inevitable. It’s already started. Fiat currencies are going to start inflating uncontrollably and the money is going to go somewhere. If Bitcoin is superior as a store of value to gold, and more importantly is harder than gold, it’s got a long, long way to go.
