THE PURPOSE OF BITCOIN

The purpose of Bitcoin is to shatter the welfare/warfare state and return power to the people.

Yes, you can understand it as technological innovation — as a better way to hold and send large amounts of money — but at its core it is political revolution.

It stops both Putin's war machine and Powell's money printer. It defunds the secret police and the NGOs calling for defunding the police. It rewards places that attract skilled immigrants and punishes those that cannot protect property rights.

It does all this by breaking the 20th century centralized state's business model, by breaking both the wealth seizure of Communism and the money printer of Keynesianism. Because Bitcoin is money that can't be seized and monetary policy that can't be manipulated.

So, think of Bitcoin as the ultimate zero-based budgeting. It zeros out everything that centralized states spend money on. It ends the wars and starves the beast. And then, it allows free people to decide from scratch what collectives they want to form, what public goods they want to crowdfund, and what they want to voluntarily do together as a society.

In a word, it restores consensual government. You just don't do what you have not consented to do.

Because Bitcoin reverses several centuries of power centralization in a few decades of decentralization. It fuses the egalitarian global government of the internationalist left with the limited local government of the capitalist right. It does this by transferring sovereignty from each centralized local state to a decentralized global network, where the collective of Bitcoin holders act as the ultimate bond vigilantes, the ultimate international union, the ultimate government of governments.

And DC's declining "rules-based order" cannot match the legitimacy of this ascending Internet opt-in order. We already see tens of millions of Americans and Chinese alike voting against both Democrats and Communists by voting with their wallet for Bitcoin. Their states may be gearing for pointless war, but on the network these two great nations are at peace. Bitcoin Americans may not trust the Chinese state, and Bitcoin Chinese may not trust the American state, but neither of them trust their own states as much as they trust Bitcoin's network.

Trustworthy states, of course, have nothing to fear. If you have popular legitimacy you need not fear capital flight. And already we see early adopter states for Bitcoin, from Bukele to Bhutan. Early adoption serves as a political IQ test — small and smart governments can pull it off, while big and dumb states simply will not.

So big, dumb states will be hardest hit. And they will hit back. Just like they went from calling social media unimportant to assailing it as too important, so too will they go from questioning whether Bitcoin has any utility to calling it too powerful to leave in the hands of the citizenry. And then the attempts at seizure will begin.

The explicit use of state force will unify left- and right-libertarians against neocons and neolibs, shattering and remaking the political compass. That's likely to begin after this cycle. And it'll be a fight that will make 2016-2024 look like the good old days.

But at least we'll all know that Bitcoin has a purpose.

Happiness is the absence of personal problems.

You can remove the idea of personal, the idea of problems, or limit and solve the problems.

Do yourself a favour.

Get off fast foods for 1 month. Replace with whole foods & water.

After that month go eat fast food & see how you feel after.

[Rey @ReynoldsTang]

beautiful share, thanks Tim :)

Fully agree: ‘wonder & awe’ are the antidote to so much suffering & monotony in the world!

We should be consciously planning for more awe in our lives 💞🌎

e.g. camping 🏕️ with best friends/fam in a ‘dark sky zone’ and (shooting) stargazing 🌠🔭

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

NEW blog post is up!

Why You Should Seek More Awe in the New Year

Every time I’ve done a past-year review (PYR), a pattern emerges: peak positive emotional experiences are correlated to awe at least 70% of the time.

For at least the past 3–5 years, this has been so consistent that I often determine what big blocks to schedule in the new year based on potential for awe. The payoffs include time dilation and, more broadly, traversing the miraculous canvas of full human experience.

Friends have asked me why I do silent retreats in nature, why I love ski touring, why I hunt once in a blue moon, or why I am deeply interested in psychedelic science and psychedelic-assisted therapies. If I had to sum it all up in one word, it would be:

Awe.

But what exactly is “awe,” and how can we embrace more of it?

I haven’t found a better article exploring these topics than Ashley Stimpson’s “Awestruck,” featured in Johns Hopkins Magazine, so I asked for permission to publish on my blog, which was graciously granted.

I hope you find it as thought-provoking as I did.
