“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are [clown world], and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are [Bitcoin 🤝 NOSTR 🤝 honoring the social contract]” - St Augustine [with my 2 sats].

This quote is from Svetski (npub1dtg…up6m)'s new book ‘The Bushido Of Bitcoin’, to kick off the section about courage.

I’m really enjoying this book, and I’m really excited to do something courageous this year with the brother erikcason (npub1hk0…20pf). I have a lot of hope for my family, friends and future generations generally.

For the first 5 years of being in Bitcoin, I thought it was going to be incredibly dangerous, that the state would have noticed that ‘We the people’ have not only figured out that fiat is their ‘ring of power’, and we are going to destroy it, but they seemingly haven’t yet and now the Trojan horse is now inside the city walls, while they’re busy buying wBTC (lol).

It took 3 years further to come out of my shell further, and now I know, the state is retarded and doomed (for now), they will figure out the game sooner or later. Regardless of when, fiat, their ring, is about to meet its destruction, as we hurdle towards the end of the long term debt cycle. It [the state, an amalgamation of evil, injustice, centralization and corruption] will be back, in some way, but without the monopoly on money, it will struggle to retain a monopoly on violence. So I suspect it will largely be defanged, but like any wild animal backed into a corner, it could get ugly, but given its retardation, I suspect it will be smoother and far less confrontational than I initially imagined. Fear was the mind killer, and it was all in my head.
