Dad's Advice

Was about to suggest seeing if Pubkey would be interested so I popped on their site to have a look.

Looks like you beat me to it lol. Have a great launch party!

Some people will go to extreme lengths to avoid discomfort and protect their own ignorance.

I'm starting a scrapbook of people that blocked me for saying something about bitcoin that's 100% true, but conflicts with their mental models.

Bitcoin is the best tool to fight tyranny that humans have ever had.

Pretty sure this view says more about YOUR bubble than his.

Challenge yourself to seek out broader information sources, see what others, whose views you may not agree with, are saying. Only then can you know whether you’re seeing the whole picture.

Spend the money to support regenerative farming and eat humanely grown, grass fed beef, lots of it. It’s good for the soil, the planet, and your health.

BTFD!

It's probably because the argument in favor is purely partisan politics, not rooted in fairness within the state and its electorate but rather in national politics. That and the fact that there’s no evidence of internal unfairness in California’s current maps. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, Trump’s crypto coin IS fucked up, to me (and most rational observer) it’s blatant corruption.

But don’t confuse that with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a respected asset that’s embraced by traditional investors and asset managers around the world, as well as being a tool used to protect human rights.

You're not alone. It's especially easy to feel correct in your position when the bitcoin prices pulls back, as it's done throughout its history.

And while you're not alone in thinking as you do, you are wrong.

I hope one day you take the time to really understand bitcoin.

What planet do you live on?

You will one day.

Probably do now, you're just not admitting it to yourself. Muscle mass is the most important thing we can carry into our older age, to preserve our quality of life.

I mean this in the nicest way possible.

Protein?

Dad here. I'm sorry you've had to deal with racism. It's not fair, and you don't deserve it.

I hope it's made you stronger, kinder and more self-sufficient.

Quick clarification - that's $80 a week IN ADDITION to whatever the value you bring to society offers you in return, you deadbeat.

If you're happy, I'm happy but for me actual family is everything.

Family is the bedrock of society, the base layer of governance. It's how culture, wisdom and values are passed on from one generation to the next.

Our species depends on the success of families.

Dad here. If you're gay, there isn't a conversation to be had. I have blue eyes. You're gay. That's the way we are. Nothing wrong and nothing to even discuss. ❤️

If you're trans, let's talk. You have a mental illness. We all have some degree of mental illness, let's figure this out together. ❤️

Way low on protein.

... case for bitcoin is the noblest use that money has ever been put to: it provides freedom from authoritarian tyranny.

You can read how the Human Rights Foundation uses bitcoin as a tool for human rights around the world here:

... initially by gold, but when the government decided they wanted to outspend our gold reserves we were taught that they were backed by some mumbo jumbo bs like "the full faith of the US government" lol.

As far as the use cases being stupid, nothing could be further from the truth. The use ...

Yes you were.

Nothing backs bitcoin the same way nothing backs gold. It's scarcity and desirability backs itself.

We were taught that money needed to be "backed" when they introduced fiat paper dollars. Since they had no true scarcity, they could be printed for peanuts, they had to be "backed" ...

They obviously used more force and were bigger assholes than necessary, no question. That’s got to stop.

But more salient point here is, was that gentleman legally authorized to be in the US and work in that shop? If so, wouldn’t this be the right time to mention that fact?

As someone that understands it intimately, you can articulate both sides of the argument.

What do you believe is the strongest steel-man argument *in favor* of candidates running on a bitcoin-friendly platform?

What makes you so sure?

I mean, reality doesn't agree with you. Just look at the banks, asset managers, governments, corporations, investment funds, merchants, miners and hundreds of millions of users that think otherwise.

What info do you, Krazy Lexicon, have that all these people do not?

It makes no sense *to you*.

Perhaps it's time to figure out why it makes so much sense to others.

You’re funny. Bouncing around from talking point to talking point like a kangaroo, never stopping in one place long enough to pin down why you’re so wrong.

My time is worth more than that. The resources are out there, you should go educate yourself.

The government is stealing the buying power of your savings right under your very nose, through currency debasement. Who are you going to shoot?

Bitcoin can't be debased.

When reality doesn't conform to your mental models, what should you do?

I found the root problem common to all of the above. It’s your information diet.

No one should be the “market audience”.

With so much high quality educational materials available for free, ignorance about crypto is a choice nowadays.

Bitcoin only.

Good on you for recognizing that the NYT is political. Many people believe it’s a “news” paper lol.
