"When I found bitcoin, I was in despair. I had worked for a decade. I had spent 20,000 man years attempting to do everything under the sun. I could not get ahead. And I was the same me. I wasn't stupid, right? You look at me and say well this is Michael Saylor worked as hard as he could for a decade and could not get ahead, right? And the most pernicious thing you can do to someone is you make them think that they're just not smart enough and the reason they're failing is because they're not smart and they don't work hard enough. And then you realize, no the system is rigged against you."
This is how I felt. I’ve been working in fiat mines for 20+ years and felt like I could never keep pace. I worked hard and was loyal, but I got screwed by my boss and almost got laid off. The system is rigged.
Heroes usually live long enough to become the villain, but for right now Saylor is doing what we would all do in his spot.

https://www.today.com/video/build-to-rent-inside-the-cost-effective-home-trend-187111493889
Being a homeowner will no longer be attainable for the average person, the interest rates are too high (+7%) and the median home price is too high (+$400k). The only way it makes sense is for a big company to buy big tracks of land and then split it up to make it affordable for people.
As people become renters, they will never learn how to fix a toilet, take care of a lawn, or maintain anything… their only responsibility will be to go to their 9-5, come home and eat Cheetos while watching MSM state propaganda news narratives and go to Taylor swift concerts on the weekend.
This is the perfect investment for Wall Street. Bankers will be funding these build to rent projects and turning them in REITs to sell to investors.

JFC, why have I not heard of this till now? Citadel? really?? The regulators are just working for the current establishment and slowing down Binance and Coinbase with red tape until they get their competing options in place. NOT AN ENDORSEMENT FOR A SHITCOIN CASINO.

Go with the one that will challenge you more. The more you learn the more well rounded you become.
You go with brewpub job, it’ll teach you about the restaurant business and high throughput. After this job you could go work at a bigger restaurant or open your own brewpub.
Go with the French cuisine and you will be honing an art. You would learning about finer cuisine and be maybe a personal chef.
Think about what you can do 1-2 jobs down the line after this one and that might help.

🤔 could be on to something. For this to work for advertisers it would need to be an auction instead of just sending zaps.
Are there any solutions to an auction on #nostr?
Advertisers would need to place a bid on the space for a certain amount of time at a specific time. Top bidder wins, losers save their budget for the next auction.

Let’s pull on this idea of the reach of 121 people vs a 21 sat zap…
The only reason that your “reach” is valuable is because it is a way for advertisers to monetize you. They have everyone conditioned to want to get the biggest audience they can so that advertisers can put their ads in front your huge audience.
This model incentivizes gaining the biggest audience, which is not the same as providing actual value to people. It appeals to people’s most base desires for attention and it is very easy to spin up bots to dole out likes to fake an audience to capture the ad revenue.
The 21 Sats, while tiny in terms of USD value today, represents a portion of the entire global #Bitcoin network that is protected by POW miners. Actual energy went into mining that 21 sats, and that is now being exchanged for value. There are only 21 million Bitcoin, so it is much harder to fake the exchange of a sat than a like.
This is V4V 💜🤙

This excerpt makes me want to 🤢🤮
“During the twentieth century, governments allowed the creation of money to become the by-product of the process of credit creation. Most money today is created by private sector institutions – banks. This is the most serious fault line in the management of money in our societies today. In his ‘cross of gold’ speech, William Jennings Bryan spoke passionately about the evils of the gold standard … ‘We believe that the right to coin money and issue money is a function of government. We believe it is a part of sovereignty and can no more with safety be delegated to private individuals than can the power to make penal statutes or levy laws for taxation … the issue of money is a function of the government and the banks should go out of the governing business.’ He was consciously reiterating Thomas Jefferson, who said in 1809, ‘the issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs’. Why have governments allowed money – a public good – to fall under private control? To answer that, we need to understand the role of banks."

Has #nostrbookclub read this yet? Needed a book for my flight and stumbled across it.
The author Mervyn King was head of the Bank of England from 2003-2013 and witnessed the 2008 financial collapse first hand. Even in the first chapter he describes what we have been witnessing today.
Central banks were stuck on a zero/negative interest rate policy to try and make up for the fact that growth was dead after the 2008 collapse. There’s no way to continue with high interest rates without collapsing the system.
