Who tf is we

They thought it’d be a good idea to support a silver spoon draft dodging bankrupting career fraud charity scamming sexual abusing friend of Epstein media influencer felon as commander in chief. Objectively the most unfit unqualified regime of performative theatrical media characters. To think that a cabinet and inner circle filled with Epstein class members was going to look out for the working class should disqualify you from having a vote. They told ppl that they had a mental illness when they tried to help them by pointing out the idiocy of thinking this is good for bitcoin. The @MartyBent and @HODL of the world look like imbeciles now and they ruined their brands and/or reputations. I’m not beyond forgiving them if they were to fall on their swords and apologize for their ignorance, arrogance, and pedaling such trash to the vulnerable. Imagine promoting such a clown ass epitome of boomerism because you’re mad that the US isn’t a white nation or Christian nation and you thought you were going to be edgy and oWn tHe LiBz. Embarrassing af

More specifically, most of his focus for a while now has been on the Epstein files. He co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The potus has publicly lied about him as well as publicly insulted him. Thomas Massie doesn’t seem to want to protect any sexual abusers.

Um, are we going to find your name somewhere in these files or something? Your recent dismissiveness has shed a new light on your character. What is your goal in this emotional invalidation of a massive child sex trafficking ring? A person can understand the significance of Bitcoin and the sexual abuse of children simultaneously. The only place that this is a good look for you is on maga moderated platforms. Why do you make it seem like you are trying to use our passion for Bitcoin to distract us from holding powerful people that trafficked and raped children accountable? If you don’t find it reprehensible then you could just not mention it instead of trying to somehow marginalize it with a monetary protocol of all things.

Civil rights anyone?

Everybody is talking about how badly you lost this highly contentious debate. They all know it. They keep saying how big of a baby back beta bitch boy you are. Biggest beta ever! Thank you for your attention to this matter! Have a great day!

Other than willfully contradicting your previous claim I’m really not sure wtf you’re actually trying to convey. The splash of ignorant tribalism at the end was the best part. Have a great day!

Oh yes it has nothing to do with the oil except that the POTUS specifically stated it as a reason.

He said the U.S. would “run” Venezuela and rebuild its oil infrastructure with U.S. oil companies “spend[ing] billions of dollars” to fix the “badly damaged” system and “get the oil flowing the way it should be.”

He described Venezuela’s oil industry as “a failure, a complete failure for an extended period,” and promised that large U.S. oil companies would repair it and “start producing profits for the country.”

He said the U.S. is “in the oil business” in Venezuela, will sell Venezuelan oil to other countries in “much larger doses,” and emphasized exporting “large amounts of oil to other countries.”

He also talked about “taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground,” saying that wealth would go to Venezuelans, Venezuelan exiles, and the United States as “reimbursement” for supposed damages and stolen assets.

In late 2025 he said the U.S. would “keep” or possibly sell crude oil seized from Venezuelan tankers, and might even use it for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, adding “we’re also retaining the ships.”

Across these comments, he ties U.S. military corporations and political actions in Venezuela directly to controlling and monetizing its oil reserves, repeatedly stressing that U.S. oil companies will move in, fix infrastructure, and that the resulting oil revenue will cover U.S. costs and generate profit.

Oh you talkin bout that proof of work

Trying to sell some profundity that’s never even been in stock

I always thought you were just a naive bag of douche that showed up on various podcasts and panels for weak comic relief over the years. Stay in your lane. You’re the court jester not the cleric.

I’m fully aware of bitcoin and what it is. I’ve also read saifdeans bitcoin standard I believe right when it came out. I enjoyed it. Especially the bits about the history of money and its nature as a technology.

Unfortunately though, I feel the same way about your perspective. I defended capitalism for decades until I couldn’t anymore. I’ve also considered the argument that our current environment isn’t true capitalism. While I understand where it comes from I still see it as an appeal to purity.

If I remember correctly Ammous characterizes rent seeking behaviors as a negative feature of fiat which I agree with. However rent seeking is not exclusive to fiat currencies. Bitcoin is superior to gold in almost every way but gold is still a good money and most bitcoiners know it’s long history. That history includes gold as payment for rent. It’s clear to me that this rent seeking is not only enabled by capitalistic behavior but encouraged. Rent seeking and profit motives at the cost of workers is a feature of capitalism. You may find it ironic that understanding bitcoins proof of work mechanism is one of the main reasons that I now see capitalism for what it is. It inspires the non worker (capitalist) to extort the labor (proof of work) of the worker. It depends on extracting wealth from others.

The period between WW2 and the 70’s saw a shrinking wealth gap brought about by a hybrid economy of capitalism under a high amount of government regulation as well as strong labor unions. Reagan’s administration destroyed both of those driving forces that mitigated the rampant inequality of capitalism and now we see a wealth divide that seems like the gilded age 2.0.

The proliferation of fiat may very well have been the last nail in the coffin but at best capitalism exacerbated it but I suspect it is actually responsible for pushing us in the coffin in the first place. I do not refute that there a few benefits to capitalism, but the same is true for other economic systems like socialism and communism as well. The benefits definitely do not outweigh the costs. I don’t claim to have an answer for a replacement of our current structure but I’m quite certain I will never defend capitalism again.
