Agreed and well said.
While outcome is certainly important when considering an action, often it’s simply others disagreement of what the desired outcome should be that causes others to dismiss something.
Outcome is important, because an endeavor without an outcome defeats the goal of acting with intention and purpose. But those outcomes aren’t limited to tangible or productive categories. We spend too much time pursuing reward and compensation, rather than joy and fulfillment.
Maybe things like NOSTR will narrow the gap between those tangibles and the intangible. We can reward people for bringing joy and sharing their fulfillment actions.
Keep chasing those stupid ideas. Do those insane things. Chase joy over happiness and pursue fulfillment by fulfilling others.

Now that’s an interesting thought. Can we see the pattern of generational theory in money like Bitcoin? It’s probably too early to make that observation with certainty but we’ve seen pattern within Bitcoin because it’s algorithmically perfect money. Certainly there is merit in seeing at least parallels and correlations in its behavior in relation to social behavioral theories.
The challenging with this Fourth turning is that we haven’t seen the culmination of the fourth turning yet, with just a few years left in that cycle. Either full escalation is averted, or it’s coiled like a spring and the resulting chaos will be substantial.
I personally have grown comfortable with this prolonged consolidation in Bitcoin. We can stack Sats and let the potential energy build as Bitcoin permeates into every financial nook and cranny.

Actually, now that van costs about $65k-$75k……
But there may be some good park benches down by the river that are priced decently.

Amen to that!

I think you are on point with all counts. It’s gamesmanship and I suppose advantageous for the US. I just get tired of the false pretense that is played.

amen to this. Not always an easy task, but certainly the most rewarding. I may fail in many things over the years, but I will never fail them, not until my final breath.

Gig’em! Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2000 here!

I loved Winamp. Back in the days when we were ripping our entire cd collections and swapping them on completely open networks with thousands of other students on campus. Oh the joy of a blissfully open and connected network.
