sounds like "if u want some IOU's, give us some other IOU's in exchange;" what a magical system!

amazing what one can do with nothing but beers, the internet, and a few sats;

if only DarthCoin had a donkey, there wud also be a brick watchtower, maybe a cathedral;

worth learning Trust Law as well; there are many educators, various levels of complexity: i recently started on the following series:

another cool dude here:

the curriculum load is quite heavy...

build trust by learning to trust fellow men; if u don't trust a man, don't deal with him in any capacity, in bitcoin OR fiat; find men that can be trusted instead; these "trustless" technological solutions only work to a certain degree - if enough people won't trust each other, the ruggery shall continue as it usually does in fiat land;

Big Archeology is big business: one can make a bunch of fake old-looking artifacts, put up an old-looking crumbling cement wall and paint some graffiti on it; then have the Ministry of Archeology make up a story about ancient Egyptians, whose children played with wooden dolls while their parents built energy-harvesting pyramids in the backyard...

seriously, why is the cement wall crumbling so badly? this looks like any modern construction/demolition site with a special flavor of graffiti;

then go for a hike and a climb =)

an even more sinister agenda is giving people an illusion of choice and in the process making them dumber, weaker, sicker, easier to control and further indoctrinate; enshittification of the people thru mind control; some of these campaigns take generations - such as the idea of uploading the brain into the cloud and giving up the body;

note how the narrative is structured in a Hegelian dialectic: here are the pros and cons, u decide! then droves of influencers will pop up, exploring each option... not realizing that half of them are already dead;

and here's Ed Bernay's Propaganda for full measure if anyone is interested: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.275553

idk what they had (or still have); GPU's are silicon-based toys for peasants; little did they foresee that bitcoin wud be conjured using those primitive chips;

this meme also reminds me of an ex-banker turned bitcoiner who would go on and on about how the shady banking system operates;

thanks, commented on that post about fish oil!

a meetup member brought the bolt card in order to demonstrate tapping for zaps, and i admire the ring method as well; however, i need to see a live terminal accepting it in order to get one;

that's a good point regarding the NFC feature on a google phone; it helps to think of a card/ring/NFC chip as a 2FA device

this reminds me to find clean fish oil in a glass bottle, to be poured into a spoon or for taking a swig;

to know and not to do is not to know ;) at least u know!

i must add that melanopsin, such as in the brain and the retina, is an even better conductor of energy; hence, the current technology is really hunting after the eyes and the brain =)

time for sammy's crazy take:

bone is a highly conductive material for light and sound; blood is another very interesting substance, but i don't know as much about it - it does degrade faster; there has to be a steady supply of blood and bone for the sorcerers' grand projects;

there are many catacombs around the globe, especially under major cities, and in particular under Old World structures such as cathedrals - the bones amplify the signal of creation through resonance of light and sound; that resonance can be used to energize something... not sure what exactly, but there's a reason the bones are in the catacombs, neatly arranged into intricate patterns; these are the bones of past civilization; no technological innovation can generate the same quality of signal as living beings;

anyways, the paradox u are observing is modern-day vampirism: the elite psychopaths are farming the dumb humans and disposing of the smart ones as quickly as possible; i think the reason that the culling agenda is accelerating is that too many people are coming out of the stupor - that's why the ultimate mind-control tool, A.I., is being deployed onto the masses so rapidly; however, it's also a game: the more bountiful the harvest, the more pleasurable the elite psychopaths' reward...

A.I. has always been around, since the early days (1776); however, its deployment was not necessary until the modern times, when the population has reached high numbers, too difficult to control by the more primitive methods; it is being deployed directly into people's consciousness in order to optimize the farming of humans - the dumb ones procreate and the smart ones cull themselves;

but enough about the dark occult controllers: they merely abuse the current human condition, which is nescience (not knowing) and ignorance (refusing to know);

grand rising to all! how's the mind control today?

so are u mainly a plastic or tap user?

not in my pocketses, but in a fanny-pack i got enough for a full routine day out and about the town; outside of rent or online purchases, i try to pay for as much as possible in cash; i actually get disappointed when i don't have enough change for an exact amount, or no change at all;
