Hey @ogafroman1!
Just realized that those cops broke into your house on Bitcoin Infinity Day!
Did you know?
"August 21 was the day
The Adams County Sheriff destroyed my gatе"
The helicopter-money story is a charming piece of fiction.
New money supposedly descends upon society like rain, raising prices more or less uniformly.
In reality, it enters through very specific doors, and remarkably few people hold the keys...

This week @TipToeBTC joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Valuearchy, his proposed alternative to democracy that puts the price of government on the ballot before the vote and replaces taxation with enforceable contracts citizens can stop funding when leaders break them. Knut goes full Rothbard, pressing him on whether any government holding a monopoly on violence can truly stay accountable, as they dig into Hoppe’s Democracy: The God That Failed, time preference under monarchy, and why democracies drift toward ever bigger spending. They also cover El Salvador under Bukele, Brendan’s concerns about crime in Canada, and why Knut sees saving in Bitcoin as the most practical personal defense against inflation and government overreach.
Just throwing this out there:
The whole "the AI agents escaped and hacked the AI companies' servers" story might be the new "the Virus escaped the Chinese lab" story..
Expect overreach. A lot of it.
Governments trying to regulate AI are scarier than AI.
This week, @boomer_btc unpacks life after BIP-110: mining its first signaling block, why he later stepped back, and why he sees no path for the Blake2b fork. He also gets into Ocean, FPPS vs TIDES, DATUM and independent miners, SegWit spam, miners vs hashers, and corporations on a Bitcoin standard.
👑 BITCOIN HISTÓRICO | A Story We Build Together
Satoshi began the story. People everywhere have carried it forward by learning, building, teaching and using Bitcoin.
This November, we gather in Centro Histórico to hear from one another and take part in what comes next. ₿🇸🇻

If democracy is supposed to be representative of the will of the people, why is it impossible to vote AGAINST a candidate without simultaneously giving another power indirectly?
