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... 🤔
Get #Bitcoin.

poor directors sitting in their corner offices while the workers do the heavy lift and pull the overtime. Yes, burnout syndrome is a real thing but I'd guess that there is more workers affected by it than CEOs.

wasn't this obvious since the day Musk made an WEF puppet the CEO of twitter?

Held's opinion about nostr reminds me of people's opinion about Bitcoin around 2012. Most of them call themselves Bitcoiners today and those who didn't make it, nobody remembers them. /thread

Imagine living in a country where the north is ruled by the British and the south by migrants.

When that digital EUR crap CBDC drops, remember that Retarde said that it will be an "alternative" to cash money and that cash will remain in circulation. I'm saying this because she obviously lied and cash will be phased out over X years after the October airdrop.

"I'm on nostr cause twitter sucks and is full of retards!" Dan Held posts something on twitter. Half the people on nostr go back to being twitter retards.
Why would anyone care what Dan Held has to say?

I think 1 BTC gets you more than 1 Swift ticket. Probably two- or three-thousand
