@Hyolobrika it's clear that you have yet to parse my concept
idiot genius

@harblinger what was your thesis on arkk thought they'd had a mare recently

@Hyolobrika how weird is it that we write linearly, we should have at least 2 axes of text superimposed upon one another, perhaps logical and emotional content respectively

@mrman cheaper too

@dave all very he said she said

@7 @dubh that's seriously cool

@dubh @7 what are goldbacks

makes camomile tea

checks fedi

makes g&t

wait what

@7 @dubh i.e. a run and it turns out that oops we don't actually have all the gold we said we did

@7 @dubh gold that is held in custody but in his name

I get it, 99.9% of the time it's fine but a good chunk of golds value prop imo is that it dodges that 0.1%

@dubh @7 bitcoiner friend owns some paper gold and has never grokked why I think he's an idiot

@dubh @7 haha ok I getya

@dubh @7 can't eat silver darling

@7 if you don't gloat over battlefield causalities you're basically landed nobility at this rate

step one (1)

buy bitcoin

step 2 (two)

try not to get nuked

@7 on a long enough timescale (10-20 years) I don't see how it's gonna go anywhere but up

whether your investment reflects that with all the CBDC bullshit is another matter, I agree

@7 there's a good piece by Rothbard, Wall Street, The banks and American Foreign Policy that's very germane to the discussion - spoiler, investment in China makes wwiii a bit of a nono

@7 like, Ukraine could kick Russia out. OK. What's US gonna do, unfreeze their funds? That ship has sailed and everyone knows it has.
