Years ago, I read a book that I still think about regularly. Unfortunately, I had forgotten its title and couldn't find it again despite an intensive search. Enter grok. Grok found it for me with two searches. The book is called "Holy Fire" and was written by Bruce Sterling.
When I read it back then, I wasn't a Bitcoiner yet. But since that changed, I've been reminded of one aspect of this book more often. It's set in a medium-term future on Earth, where there are very wealthy elderly people. However, the majority of the population lives on money given to them so they can satisfy basic needs. The important distinction is that there are two different types of money: the valuable money that the elderly, wealthy people possess. And then the money that is given to the population to buy things like rent, food and clothing. But with this inferior money you can't, for example acquire land, buildings or other capital.
Through my journey down the Bitcoin path, I can easily imagine all of this as a possible, realistic future.

The best time to buy Bitcoin was 15 years ago. The second-best time is now.
So there is a second-best... 🤔

There are some vaccine threads today, and the pro-vax posts are a study in logical fallacies.
Using straw men, ad hominem attacks or - the top choice on this subject - appeals to authority is not the same as making a point.

The tatterd ribbons of a girls bicycle gently flapping in a warm breeze, rendered meaningless by a swift blow of a lead pipe to the head.

Climate change:
Kick people off their land Move them into smart cities Force feed them bugs and synthetic goop. Tokenise all life on earth, and control all human activity from a control panel.
Oh, and plastic straws and cute little tote bags. <3
