@AntSpeaks Is the argument that melania is a good first lady, because she looks better that the previous 2? Its weird how Americans never seem to be thinking about things that matter
Potential.
A raw chicken has potential to become many things. A ready to eat rotisserie is done for.
It is the same reason govt cares about children, but opresses the adults.
Why does a hot, delicious, and ready-to-eat rotisserie chicken cost less than a cold, raw ass chicken i gotta take home and cook myself?
Can someone PLEASE answer that for me cause I just dont get it.
@hekmachine@zachxbt What is the function of any alt coin? To enrich the founders. Say it with me and let's all remember it this time. To enrich the founders.!
$xmw $mw is it over?
The vibe is kinda tense, not very tense, just a bit.
You could say the community is feeling @mediumtension ...
I wonder what the founders are up to?

The cult of "normal life".
Its members don't meet in secret, they have no leader, and they never call themselves cult, yet convince billions to accept exhaustion as virtue, busyness as purpose, debt as adulthood, and unhappiness as just "how things are". They reward obedience with applause and punish questioning with social exile. And the craziest aspect is that the members believe they are completely free.
@brablawski@RichardCabezza Fiat equals corruption and slavery... gold is a relatively good money that, much like bitcoin equals everything, the good or the bad... bitcoin can be all of that, none of it and everything in between. It depends on the holder. But it is just a tool. Much like gold, just better.
I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank.
My job is buying gold.
297 tons this year.
Quietly.
While we print money.
Loudly.
Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday.
We've been buying since it was $1,800.
That's called "reserve diversification."
Diversification means we don't trust our own currency.
But we can't say that.
So we say "diversification."
The Governor went on television last month.
He said inflation is "anchored."
Anchored means 6%.
Used to mean 2%.
We moved the anchor.
That's monetary policy.
He said the currency is "sound."
Sound means losing 20% of its value.
Per year.
But it sounds sound.
That's what matters.
We bought 45 tons in November.
Poland bought 95 tons.
Brazil bought 43.
China reports 1 ton.
China is lying.
We all know.
Nobody says it.
95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year.
That's a survey.
We surveyed ourselves.
On whether we trust ourselves.
We don't.
We trust gold.
Citizens ask why prices keep rising.
We say "supply chains."
We say "external factors."
We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020."
That's not external.
That's us.
The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies.
I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset."
Strategic means yes.
I just can't say yes.
Gold is $5,000 now.
Our currency buys less every day.
Our gold buys more.
That's the strategy.
For us.
Not for you.
You get the currency.
We get the gold.
That's central banking.
