“I’m not political”

“Voting is a scam”

Allow me to be blunt here.

This most recent ECB paper made clear something many of us have known for awhile.

When the price of Bitcoin goes up regular people are going to want to kill you. The state is also going to want to kill you. They will be deeply aligned on the solution to their problem being, murdering you.

Don’t say it won’t happen. It has happened in every society on earth. It will happen.

You’re not political? Grow up Peter Pan, count chocula it’s not Halloween. Be serious. This is big boy shit.

The state is a weapon.

People are going to want to wield it against you.

What’re you gonna do about that?

“I’m not political”

Yeah well I am.

I have to be.

I want the world to reflect my values and respect my right to life liberty and property.

We have to protect ourselves from what’s coming.

And believe me when I say… it is definitely coming.

Lol. Either the state will crush you too (because obviously every user of the state gets crushed or corrupted) or you disassociate with the state and it withers from obscurity. Because being productive and being within the state apparatus are mutually exclusive. I love this fantasy so many of you st...

Maybe you shouldn’t have made yourself such a public figure. No one owes you anything, the state won’t save you no matter who is in charge.

When two people engage in a discussion about a matter affecting their fate, we are already talking about politics. Thus, any issue that extends beyond the individual’s fate falls under the umbrella of the concept of politics. Essentially, any conscious communal activity is politics. Politics, in ...

A Marxist state cannot be destroyed from the inside because the Marxist state has direct access to your blood and energy. No one has private property rights, which is the basis of all other rights, which means we have absolutely zero rights. We only have privileges. All privileges can be removed...

Yes the state will want to rob/kill you. No throwing a paper in the box won’t help you.

The only practical option is to "Go where you aretreated best." Russia and Belarus are just some of recent examples how it's impossible to prevent tyranny by voting. They also showed many times, such as in 1917, that violence is all that really matters in politics. Once the bureaucracy has put eno...

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. — Plato #quotestr https://image.nostr.build/818db7a7960c08df6a4cc2f5beff947055eeac05b920ed8eb90acdfc12c42863.jpg

“The state is a weapon” and you would rather use it yourself than let others use it against you. It’s logical. But by wielding the state as a weapon you will allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon. And if you allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon against your enemies, ...

I can’t thank you enough for deciding to post this and not taking the apathetic position simply because culture thinks it’s cool. Well said. Good times make weak men, and we’ve had it good for a very long time.

Your so mean for being early into Bitcoin, shame on you

Not seeing how my voting in unopposed elections, skewed election districts, and in a state that is going to select one of the two by 66% or more is going to make any change.

Ballot boxes are for suckers, however. Politics should properly be done by voting with your feet. Imagine that world for a moment; states would have to compete with each other to be the best they can to attract you.

Despite all my other reservations, I would probably vote for Trump but the connections to Palantir are scary. Mass military-grade surveillance is likely coming anyway, but Trump's admin seems like a shortcut. Vance is smarter than anyone the US has seen in that office in a long while - and deeply ...

I agree with what you said, BUT you still have the option to move to a jurisdiction that respects property rights and individual freedoms. You can start building your life there and help ensure that the country doesn’t turn against you like we’ve seen in China, Europe, and maybe soon the US. So...

My brother in Freedom Tech, I love your passion and you're right that the state is the enemy. But the state is under occupation by those who benefit from the money printer, and nobody becomes president unless they are not a threat to that power. Both sides are controlled by the people who control t...

Allow me to be blunt too. You may be correct about those plans, but believe me, lining up obediently and putting a little piece of paper into a box will not change one bit of it.

I don't like the goverment. I like them small and they should leave us alone. ButvI don't understand your ststement that the state want to murder us. They probaby also want a very large cut from bitcoin profits, but murder? Can you give an example, scenario?
