@uaustinorg Do you provide public versions of these texts?

@JoshuaLisec I think the most important story to tell right now is how to organize and build institutions that can be worthy of power and have experience welding it.

@AvalonCircle has this knowledge and experience.

Bitcoin moves fast—no time to digest news → full volatility hits instantly. Markets look to BTC like a father figure: if Bitcoin stays calm & doesn't panic, trad markets follow suit on open, often with less wild swings. BTC sets the tone. #Bitcoin

Jane Street replaced with Israel attacking Iran. Bitcoin the only liquidity to express trade. Previously we had the experience where you do something on Friday so that the market has entire weekend to digest the results in now with 24/7 BTC.

"Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it has even less use for boredom. In species after species natural selection has encouraged social mechanisms which seem ultimately to exist for no reason other than to provide conditions for antagonism and conflict and excitement."

"Patterns lie all about us in the arrangements of living beings, and with eye only for the beauty we move through the mathematics of natural dispositions. Perhaps it is enough that we ask solely for beauty; but it will diminish the beauty not at all if we also ask why."

"The female wants her affection, but she wants it at a good address. Whether or not our human sensibilities are offended or intrigued, it is a harsh truth that the doe is attracted and excited by the qualities of the property, not the qualities of the proprietor."

To underrate the long-term genetic consequences of a cultural tradition is as dangerous as to overrate the short-term conclusiveness of cultural determination."

@Airbtconline @gladstein You should at least put the URL especially since you don't own the .com

@gmekhail My daughter approves. "Wait for it" deserves it's own S tier.

Reading Bushido of Bitcoin.

We need a dragon to become a hero. The world is searching for a way to define the dragon. Or it is only after it is identified that we can slay it.

What will the dragon be? I don't think it will be China or Islam. So Statism?

The less this natural development of man is influenced by ecclesiastical or political guardianship, the more efficient and harmonious will human personality become, the more will it become the measure of the intellectual culture of the society in which it has grown."

"Whatever does not spring from a man's free choice, or is only the result of instruction and guidance, does not enter into his very being, but remains alien to his true nature; he does not perform it with truly human energies, but merely with mechanical exactness."

@SvetskiWrites Elon will turn X into mostly verified accounts with a wallet. All compliant with the government. People will love it.

NOSTR is better, but it has a lot of work to do.
