Empathy becomes a disease when uncontrolled, and the gift of empathy isn't about automatically reading others' emotions and feelings (sometimes even the collective unconscious of not just your immediate circle, but social layers, countries, and the entire world) - it's about consciously applying this ability to yourself and the world when necessary, and it's better to figure out why you were given this ability and how you're handling it. If you don't do this work, it points to several areas within yourself that you clearly need to address.
In the apocalypse, you can blind someone with a gold bar, seize the moment, and crack their skull when they try to rob you for a bottle of water. Then melt it down into binoculars to track the thirsty or forge it into a sword and shield—for those who suddenly turned anti-Second Amendment. And if boredom kicks in, just shave it into gold flakes and sprinkle them over a roasted human thigh, so you can at least pretend you still belong to the upper class.
Please don't claim (even to yourself) that you have an abundance mindset if you start whining or feeling the slightest discomfort during a market correction or any situation that rubs you the wrong way, you lying bastards.
I think Milady is a word from a hyperlanguage, a symbolic code that triggers a unique associative chain in each person, but it is impossible to interpret, as it is governed by the principle of uncertainty of Heisenberg. It's like trying to define love or God — multi-meaningful and elusive, existing in countless states, but none of which can be fixed without losing the essence. Milady is hyper-symbolism, creating a multi-layered tapestry of meanings in the collective subconscious, each knot of which changes with each new perspective, and in this process of fractality, it’s impossible to catch its final form. In the end, it becomes a polysemantic beacon that leads you, but which you can never reach, like the event horizon.
People eat junk food → then suffer from some ulcer/heart problems/skin issues/rectal cancer—and ask in surprise: "How did this happen?", yet continue to purchase illness in every store, then spend money on medications for what they themselves have been shoving into their mouths. So what's all this anger about trivial things and wasting life, when they're committing slow suicide, like a victim ordering their own murder, except the killer is themselves, and they don't even notice it.
Look at the results of your post (the post was curious) — one service gave a 20% probability that it was written by you (Neuralwriter), another—100% (Copyleaks), but without AI. When I see complex and interesting text, I understand what the human brain is capable of, and I don't immediately rush to check it for AI/LLM markers, except in this case. Next time, just write what you liked about it.
By the way, it's amusing how your skepticism is directed outward, but its tool is an algorithm that you believe unconditionally, without even thinking about how these services work, what markers they use, and in which situations they trigger for everyone. If you wish, you can figure out what I mean yourself, as well as answer the question of why I deleted my comment under your post (the same post about Milady in another comment), rather than writing about something like Hitchens' Razor, and providing a host of other rationalizations.
Analyzing the patterns of your behavior and thinking is boring, so I'll skip that, but you've led me to an interesting thought—so thank you.
The crowd is outraged that Trump didn’t drain the treasury, didn’t sell off all the gold from Fort Knox, didn’t post a photo of a cold wallet in his hand with pallets of bullion being hauled away in the background, didn’t go all-in with a market buy across every exchange and OTC desk, didn’t trigger a BTC supply crunch so that, by the time you woke up or brushed your teeth before bed, Bitcoin would already be at $500,000—but who seriously expected the U.S. president to behave like a retail investor? Establishing a strategic reserve isn’t a local pump; it’s a long-term geopolitical move and a tectonic shift in the global order (de jure), forcing nations and corporations to choose: acknowledge their lag or announce their own crypto initiatives. While the crypto plebs in CT throw tantrums over “insufficient measures,” a new level of public consensus is forming, the Overton window is being deliberately widened, entire central banks are revising decade-old policies, conservative funds are rewriting investment memos, and every Fortune 500 CEO is getting a memo from their CFO: “Why aren’t we holding Bitcoin if the U.S. government is?”
But sure, keep whining that the global financial revolution isn’t happening fast enough—as if it’s supposed to align with the pace of your coffee heating up and your mindless scrolling.
P.S. Even without any “conspiracy theories,” it’s clear how many in CT have a victim mentality, where their entire understanding of strategic impact ends at the fluctuations of their PNL.
What do you understand by polarization? Why suddenly polarization? How did you measure it at interpersonal levels, as well as group, national, and international levels? Do you have percentage statistics on polarization throughout human history? How was this data collected? Who collected the statistics and who funded it? Personally, I'm so dumb that I barely understand how such statistics could even work. And wasn't there polarization before? Wars, constant conflicts, religions - you could even get beaten up for having a beard where it wasn't accepted - will you say that people were naive before, didn't have complete information, and were easier to manipulate, removing their responsibility, just as you're removing it now under the pretext of some black and white door and that something is happening? And what "cooperation" are you even talking about? Which historical time period had more cooperation than now? I personally have no idea. I don't know how to measure the amount of cooperation between each person and all companies on the planet. I believe that now we just have more echo chambers due to media and the speed of information exchange, making it seem like there's more tribalism, polarization and such - but this is a false impression, often created deliberately by maintaining multiple simulacra to divide society. But creating this tribalism is very easy because tribalism is an immanent property of humans. As long as consciousness exists - tribalism will exist, just its forms might be less obvious. And it's strange to separate cooperation and polarization - how do you measure this? By your feelings? Don't you think they're sides of a Möbius strip?
The issue isn’t the ambivalence of technology, which simply follows entropy, but that the evolution of consciousness correlates with this flow of entropy in maybe 10% of people, at best. People are just animals trained to use technology under the influence of their environment. They put stickers in airplanes telling you not to exit while it’s flying, and in bars, reminding you to wash your hands if you touched your dirty dick or vagina or shit on them, instead of eating a steak right away. And you’re talking about some black-and-white door....
It’s strange to see people thinking that Trump won’t create a crypto reserve—you’re simply overlooking his psyche, which leaves no room for half-measures. He doesn’t enter the game to participate; he enters to win. Being first isn’t an option for him—it’s his raison d'être. And whether you like him or think he’s the spawn of hell is irrelevant—what you or I believe doesn’t matter. He sees a business interest in this, and in his mind, everything he touches should turn to diamonds. Even stranger is the idea that if he didn’t announce it at the inauguration, it means it won’t happen—you’re missing the scale of what’s unfolding. This isn’t just about crypto; it’s about a shift in the world order, and decisions of this magnitude aren’t made in the time it took you to get laid. Obviously, there’s massive resistance both within the U.S. and beyond, because such a transformation disrupts far too many interests. On top of that, Trump is already dealing with enough domestic and geopolitical challenges, and beyond public rhetoric, there are always deeper layers of real politics at play.
P.S. We haven’t even touched the conspiracy theories yet.
@lilclearpill On a scale from 1 to 10, how much of a failure do you consider democracy to be? And using the same scale, how problematic would you rate totalitarianism?
By the way, I'm curious to know, which 4 aspects of democracy irritate you the most? And which 4 aspects of totalitarianism? Which 4 features of democracy directly improve your own life right now? Which 4 features of totalitarianism do you think could improve your personal life if you lived under such a system? Which 4 elements of democracy would you preserve if you had the power to change the system? And which 4 elements of totalitarianism would you implement in your ideal society?
@scottmelker In CME Group, they are idiots if they are listing the scam token Solana. After all, the entire Solana ecosystem is a Ponzi scheme. That's what the guys from Twitter who really love Ethereum told me, and they are intellectuals, so they should be believed.
I've always wanted to know why people who deconstruct the simulacra of democracy prefer living within the system they criticize rather than in the purified extract of totalitarianism? Why do people prefer coffee with cream instead of coffee berries so they can chew on the beans inside? Why, while proclaiming democratic mechanisms as "managed dialectic" and "mass psyop," do you continue enjoying all the benefits of these same "psyops"? If democracy is an elaborate system of control, why does nobody renounce its institutional advantages — platforms for spreading ideas and legal protection when publishing exposés? Why criticize the "techno-economic substrate" while posting your thoughts on platforms funded by that very substrate? You're given the illusion of freedom of choice in this elegant neo-slavery, you furiously criticize it, yet you're in no rush to enter the unrefined world. Criticism is necessary, I'm all for it. Just maintain proportion — don't only criticize democracy while sitting under its protection. The "hyperstitious mirage" is something you can opt out of. If this sophisticated form of control weighs so heavily on you, choose more honest systems where markets, AI, and dark capital don't masquerade as the will of the people. Move to totalitarian countries and publish your deconstructions of power from there. And don't forget to maintain your desire, despite everything, to criticize democracy's shortcomings — I'm sure your new neighbors will appreciate the depth of your dialectic.

The $1.5 billion Bybit hack is just a testing ground for analyzing mass reactions. In the next 4 years, we'll witness a "hack" of a key financial institution in a first-tier country with losses exceeding $100 billion, preceded by a series of smaller incidents. Problem → reaction → solution. After the attack, part of government debts will "disappear," critical data will be compromised, and experts will declare traditional systems completely vulnerable to quantum computing. The "saving" solution will quickly materialize: controlled blockchain networks, CBDCs or regulated stablecoins, integration of social credit systems, and the final elimination of financial anonymity — all under the pretext of protection.
Please don't claim (even to yourself) that you have an abundance mindset if you start whining or feeling the slightest discomfort during a market correction or any situation that rubs you the wrong way, you lying bastards.
People don't believe in God, nor in universal energies, and they aren't even cynics. They simply use faith and convictions as a condom for their fragile ego, ready to discard any principles for the sake of the only true cult—their own comfort.
If you're deeply religious and earnestly thank the Lord every morning by reciting all prayers in order, and sincerely believe that God has chosen the best and most blessed path for you, and God is so wise and almighty that He sees the complete picture of your life from the beginning of time to its end, and you constantly proclaim that He matters more than all earthly wealth and fully entrust Him with your destiny, and regularly quote sacred texts about the futility of material riches....then why do you whine and panic during every correction, doubting His greatness? Is your faith really so fragile that it can't withstand even a 30% drawdown?
If you don't believe in the traditional God, but believe in quantum consciousness and cleanse your energy channels with moonlight crystals every morning while chanting Sanskrit mantras, spend your afternoons in transcendental meditation raising your vibrations to 10*88 Hz to sync with the universal frequency of prosperity, perform palo santo rituals before sunset to cleanse your financial karma, and at night charge your entire house with the aura of your enlightened chakras, visualizing and changing the universe through thought power and Reiki streams while simultaneously entering hypnosis and taking ayahuasca....then why do you panic during every correction instead of seeing it as a divine manifestation of universal energy for your spiritual growth and karmic debt cleansing?
If all of the above only brings a cynical smirk of "critical reason" to your face and you proudly consider yourself a pragmatist free from all religious and esoteric delusions (they haven't proven it - they're wrong, you haven't proven it - you're right), and call any faith the opium of the masses while contemptuously declaring that absolutely nothing matters in this meaningless world, and everyone will inevitably die, and after death there will be only emptiness and nothingness, and life itself is just a random combination of atoms in the infinite void of space....then why does your ironclad cynicism crumble into hysterical tweets during every correction? If truly nothing matters in this empty universe, why do you think your pathetic tweets with thinly veiled crying about temporary portfolio drawdowns have any significance?
P.S. Any noticed thought or unnoticed one affecting your emotions, feelings, behavior, or any doubt in the current situation, any urge to write "but actually...", any attempt to justify your behavior or explain why your case is "different" - only confirms the fakeness of your beliefs.
In previous cycles, Bitcoin always went into correction 3-4 months after elections, after forming its first peak. I think the most amusing thing about this cycle isn't that they scared the crowd, but how they made those who've survived 2-3-4 cycles tremble. They just showed them the whip, and these "masters of multiple cycles" are already shaking—it's laughable. It resembles the conditioned response of animals in Skinner's box. This fear inversion, transforming market experience into a source of panic, cognitive distortions, wrong actions, and misunderstanding of market dynamics among self-proclaimed intellectuals and experts—this is simultaneously the most amusing thing and allows us to appreciate such a level of manipulation by "invisible hands" or, indeed, by themselves upon themselves.
