Hugh Hendry nails it with this piece. If you want all of this article, it's going to require a subscription. It's the best thing I've spent money on in a while. This piece is not what you'd expect from Hugh. He is insightful, cogent, and illuminating. This is one of the best pieces written on Bitcoin ever, by anyone since its launch in '09. This is a big claim. Don't trust me. Verify for yourself.

I don’t know if I should ROFLMAO or be offended. nostr:note1zuxulac3vz25m3yj50lhxnn6z67nz9ctpz7f0rec2xa5zmakss2srx48rf

In my home when the kids would use the "R" word, we would make them stand with their nose in a corner of the room for a time out punishment.
We took care of those people with the disability for decades in care homes. We made our living from that population. So we must be guilty by association. Then I bought Bitcoin. I must be super retarded and gay.

Christmas is almost here. It's not about Santa Claus, stocking stuffers and candy canes. It's time to celebrate the coming of Christ the Savior. Keep the reason for the season in your home and heart. Blessings to you and yours...

When you read a note from someone you've met in real life, do you read it to yourself in their voice? Sometimes even when I'm not reading nostr I will suddenly think "swim bladder" in nostr:npub1myge...

That's a darn fine question. I never thought about it.... but more often than not I "hear" it in your voice. Besides this, I have to say this is a really funny exchange between you two. I also laughed hard and I've never met GS IRL. Can tell this is fun banter between friends.

I Agree with the principle that "safe people make safe places”. A number of pepper authors emphasize the importance of community. I didn't mention that but took steps in my life to do a tactical relocation to move into low population density rural America where community still matters and where neighbors still take care of neighbors. Thanks for the reply. I'm but a pleb with a lone voice in the wilderness. I have no followers to speak of - hence little influence. Glad to learn one other person saw something worth pausing and making comment about my thoughts. I'll check out those links you dropped. They sound interesting to me.

My freinds are you preppers? I've been an active pepper since I first saw the writing on the wall over twenty years ago. I engaged with a militia group for a season to learn what the sovereign citizen can do to be ready for the ultimate decline of social and economic conditions. I consumed volumes of literature within the genre of a post apocalyptic dystopian world and ways to survive the chaos. All fiction and imagination. Somehow I distilled some basic lessons about preparation for the unthinkable. The categories all started with "B"s The six B's to be precise. BEANS representing all sorts of shelf stable foods and water purification and storage. BULLETS. Firearms, ammo, and replacement parts, batteries for optics. BANDAIDS all first aid supplies, medications of as many types as possible as well as trauma kits and IV supplies. BULLION gold, silver, booze, cigarettes, dry goods, candy, diapers, female hygiene products all for barter. BIBLE Ever necessary spiritual food to keep sane and enrich ones local clan and community while under stress. THEN THERE CAME BITCOIN. Stack to the best of your ability. Stay humble.
What do you think? What's missing for the end of the world as we know it? Maybe a lifetime supply of Jolly Ranchers?

Carla how in the world did you end up on this topic? It's a pretty cool fish and one of my favorite finds when diving. They have the best camouflage. One of my other favorite finds are scorpion fish. Another fabulous fish hiding right under your nose. Now you want to wonder about weird critters, try finding Pygmy seahorses or nudibranchs.

It's like taking Broken Money and gearing it to an audience that isn't as sophisticated. Eg plebs without masters level econ backgrounds. I've read all these books and then some.( 50 plus books in the last two years) and this one speaks to the masses who are trying to wrap their heads around the basics of philosophy of money, markets, and the critical role fiat plays in our society and the outsized role of the corruption of our abstracted time and energy in the ponzi of fiat and debt. Leopard does a great job reaching a much wider audience.
