Strike has a built in bank acct with crossriver bank, you could deposit bitcoin into strike and their bill pay auto sells the bitcoin into fiat and pays CCs, mortgage, whatever you need

more proof that AI is going to be as profitable as the local electric utility company, not a world-beating AGI singularity and trillions in profits

Unmodified humans aren't getting to mars...even with our best theoretical technology and bitcoin.

It would probably take dozens of launches, NERVA and or VASIMIR, and some GMO humans

I never sell, I'm always afraid that it could be the last bull run...the forever omega candle.

If I did, however...STRC. 11% interest so you aren't just melting fiat.

But like I said...I'm not one to trade in and out of gold and paper marks, just hold the gold.

I wanted to put $1 in cash app by transferring some bitcoin in so I could buy some fiat food at work....cash app then asked for for a face scan....pass

I guess I will carry real cash and talk to the snack vendor about accepting bitcoin instead

exactly... decade time scale

supposed bitcoiners (high time preference) who trash on Strategy for their purchase price are thinking in fiat terms, not bitcoin

If you know bitcoin is going to $40M...78k vs 50k vs 126k is all just a rounding error

LOL

I was tempted to use polymarket but didn't want a large wad of fiat melting away for 6 months, glad there is a bitcoin native solution

those people are a waste of time...if they aren't curious about money, they just aren't going to get bitcoin...in my experience.

not everyone can be saved, probably 90% of people are going down with the ship, but since they probably don't have significant wealth to lose, its not going to be the end of the world -- they will just continue working for money and spending it as fast as they make it

you need a reachable audience -- the majority of people especially average people will be impossible because they do not have the humility, curiosity, or intelligence

i would say understanding gold and why it became money is more important than understanding fiat in the pocket...thats a whole separate book! and a more complex subject

1. women will be extremely hard to orange pill unless they are autistic or way out on the bell curve -- most women are statistically average, conformist, and try to follow the status quo (the ones who weren't did not pass their genes)

I can probably orange pill 1/100 of my male peers, but have never succesfully done so with a woman.

2. to have the drive to learn bitcoin, you have to see and understand the problem first -- what is the problem? what is money? then the solution.

The order that The Bitcoin Standard introduces these concepts is brilliant, and the best way to orange pill. Bitcoin is at the last part of the book.

Most people don't even understand money, and will never be able to make the leap to bitcoin without the foundation of a philosphical understanding of money and the problem it solves.

If you can explain banking, fractional reserves, and the history of protomoney leading up to and including the history of gold banking and the federal reserve, you can then orange pill successfully

practice: the more you talk, listen, and refine your ideas, the better your success rate

audience: most of my peers have a keen interest in money and making more of it -- they are usually keenly interested in the topic, and I let them talk about their investments, they invariably ask about mine and thats when we are off to the races

I have not watched the video yet but:

Don't go to stupid places with stupid people at stupid times. Bad things will happen, whether you have the right to be there or not.

Do you want to bet your life on the judgement of a 20 year old boy with a badge and a gun? Even if you are in the "right" you can lose everything.

Logic and critical thinking:
trumps reading comprehension

First, this reads like AI slop.

Second, I had never heard of Yakes until I saw a screenshot of his tweet about the Saylor and Danny interview, which he had the most midcurve opinion...

Even though I agree with the (AI's) conclusion on quantum, my credibility meter on Yakes was already low.

Wow, I read as much as I could:

1. Shockingly boring with no substance
2. FULL of meaningless buzz-words
3. AI could write a better "whitepaper" than this drivel

Infantilization and feminization of society —-> men that dress like children

"The economy...er...money supply has grown substantially since 1950"

A very enjoyable watch/listen for your daily white pill.

CBDCs vs bitcoin is equivalent to prison cigarettes vs USD.

They are so different fundamentally that one doesn't really threaten the other. Once you get out of prison, you quickly figure out that USD works better.

Once you wake up from the matrix, you quickly figure out that bitcoin is better.

CBDC is going to have nearly zero effect on anything at all, since government money is essentially a CBDC already.

Soybeans and dog poo also skyrocketing, in Naira terms.
