Nietzsche: It's power. Life is the will to power—a striving for self-overcoming and mastery of circumstances, rejecting complacency and embracing growth.
Freud: It's death. Freud saw life as a tension between the life instinct (Eros) and the death instinct (Thanatos)—a constant drive toward creation and destruction.

How do you perceive the evolution of #money in the context of #Bitcoin?
Is #Bitcoin merely a #cryptocurrency, or does it represent a fundamental shift in how we understand #value and exchange?

This image was created by a Japanese neurologist.
It stays still when you are #calm. It begins to move when you experience a slight amount of pressure. It moves like a carousel when under a great deal of #stress.
How are you doing?

JFK admired Hitler for the correct reasons. I don't give af about declassifying the documents regarding his tragic death. The state had him killed because he wanted to fuck the federal reserve. There's no room for dialogue until the money is separated from the state. Opt out with bitcoin or feed the beast.

Der Sozialismus zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Staatsquote und ein gesichertes Geldmonopol aus, das es dem Staat ermöglicht, die Geldmenge jederzeit für politische Zwecke und zur Sicherung seiner Macht zu steuern. 👇🏻 “Die Zentralisation des Kredits in den Händen des Staates erfolgt durch eine Nationalbank mit Staatskapital und einem ausschließlichen Monopol.“ – Karl Marx, Das kommunistische Manifest 1848
Im Gegensatz dazu steht #Bitcoin als ein staatenunabhängiges, rohstoffgedecktes Geld, das die Prinzipien des Sozialismus und Kommunismus fundamental in Frage stellt. 🧡

I've decided to switch my zap wallet to @CoinOS after having 2+ great years of getting zapped using nprofile1qqstu8vf099ljt09m4jvres0dgk8ps2q4wkfjvjp3lhrp3wxxllfg7gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmw9ehkkvpwdaexwtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcn9w35w.
For some reason zapping WoS addresses now takes longer & fails more often. I'm not sure if this is to discourage using WoS for micropayments but I'm not wanting to leave zaps on the table.
I'm hoping 1 day that Bolt 12 addresses will enable micropayments without needing a domain name.
