The state will always exist.

Bitcoin is playing the pivotal role of bringing it down to size by removing the power of the fiat money printer.

One can rightly criticize the state without deluding oneself into thinking it will disappear entirely.

Most Libertarians are Libertarians because A) They just want to be left alone, and B) They cannot fathom a just government existing.

If this describes you, I urge you to study history. There have indeed been benevolent governments in the past, and it is possible for them to arise again.

If you opt out of the game of governance altogether, don’t be surprised when the quality of governance continues to degrade.

And if you cannot find any historic examples of stateless utopias, consider that it is a fantasy to believe they will magically come into existence now without any collective action being taken.

This is why Curtis Yarvin refers to Libertarians as LOLbritatians.

If you are buying Bitcoin under $80K, you are elite, based, and gifted.

Blessings be upon you.

No man ever sends the same Bitcoin twice, for it is not the same block height, and he is not the same man.

Legendary.

I’ve noticed three distinct responses wrt the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

No-coiners: Totally unaware. Didn’t know it happened. Couldn’t tell you the current Bitcoin price either.

Bitcoin Tourists: Bummed the announcement didn’t instantly pump their bags. Anxious the top may be in this cycle. Considering selling some.

Real Bitcoiners: Euphoric, bullish, regardless of short term price action, knowing the long term paradigm shift to a Bitcoin standard is well underway.

Medium of exchange will come.

Once Bitcoin is the dominant form of savings, people will widely spend it, and merchants will widely accept it.

There are already many of us who use the lightning network every day.

Trump put Garlinghouse in the kiddie corner while announcing a Bitcoin-only Strategic Reserve, and the XRP guys are trying to spin this positively.

“Sell the news” is only relevant if you’re a high-time preference trader.

Real ones know to HODL, save in Bitcoin, and focus on your craft.

The best color pallets come from nature

Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that fiat’s days are numbered.

You can either get on the lifeboat, or sink with the ship.

Skyrim has an excellent soundtrack. Perfect for saving in Bitcoin while focusing on one’s craft.
