@GerJonesCymru I see you have a proper butter dish too!

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I just pushed the Chancellor to strip away burdensome and overbearing regulators to unleash our economy - I don’t think he agreed…

[Restore Britain @RestoreBritain]

Next PM odds make for interesting reading...

[Eva Vlaardingerbroek @EvaVlaar]

Was supposed to be joining @RupertLowe10 for a @RestoreBritain event tonight. If I had travelled to the UK, I would have been arrested on the spot and could have faced up to 4 years in prison.

I can’t visit for one day to give a speech, yet thousands of people without papers cross the Channel and are given free housing and citizenship.

This is clearly partisan authoritarian Labour behaviour

Russell Brand receiving 10.5 years is interesting because that’s 10.5 years longer than the Afghan “refugee” who stabbed Wayne Broadhurst 14 times to death.

Yes, you read that right.

This is a fascinating story.

Proving that the assumptions that make Signal secure are true is a good thing for everyone, but in the coming New American Socialist environment, who will be instantly against it, and other beneficial innovations?

The usual suspects of course; Democrats.

They are already opposed to breakthroughs like this by default, because they are against the expansion of AI into "Superintelligence" which I have already told you they can't even begin to define.

https://t.co/vTXiADjCSV

Furthermore, making people's private communications inviolable is at odds with, diametrically opposed to, the opposite of what the Democrats want for you in your email, messaging and other communication services. The Five Eyes wants back doors to all communications; Superintelligent AI and irritating annoyances like Pushmeet make that harder; both of them need to and will be brought to heel.

Then there are the unintended consequences of Superintelligent AI and absolute cryptographic certainty.

The Austrian School of Economics achieving total domination through the medium of Bitcoin.

A Superintelligent AI would be able to guide the economy on the basis of a fixed value synthetic medium of exchange (bitcoin) and the many inputs made available to it through all trade and eCommerce to measure it, so that there could be no "crashes" in future, and it would also be able to forbid the perverted, anti-human, infantile, bastardish, disgusting, selfish, ignorant, lumpenproletariat imbeciles from infecting bitcoin with their literal garbage.

These LLM tools are becoming very useful, and like flying machines and the internal combustion engine, are very disruptive. Combined with cryptography, they are both completely disruptive to the people who live by lying (politicians and economists).

Let's hope the Pandora's box is already opened!

🚀 $MORE THE OPPORTUNITY HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT?

At £83.50, MORE offers a 14.37% annualised dividend yield, paid weekly, plus 19.8% potential share price upside if it returns to its £100 reference value.

Compare that with $SATA and $STRC, both trading much closer to par.

Higher current yield. Greater potential capital upside. Weekly income.

And now available in the USA as $MORPF 🇺🇸

The market may be overlooking what MORE has to offer. 🟠

@RupertLowe10 on the @PeterMcCormack pod talking up Lee Kuan Yew…

The state is heading towards bankruptcy.

@RupertLowe10 is back on the podcast to discuss the financial position of the government.

If X has you convinced that jobs that actually pay your bills, being married for any length of time, and raising a family are impossible in this day and age, then it's time to unplug your brain from the mind rot. Aggressively block and mute it from your feed.

[Restore Britain @RestoreBritain]

Restore Britain will collaborate with efforts internationally and seek appropriate disclosures to determine whether public officials or private interests - up to and including official scientific advisors - colluded in any deliberate obfuscation of the origins of COVID.

If, following a transparent assessment of that episode, evidence of improper behaviour or criminal conduct were to be established in relation to certain individuals or organisations, Restore Britain will demand proportionate accountability.

Some bitcoiners want bitcoin as money and think price appreciation is counterproductive because it makes people hold bitcoin instead of spending it. Other bitcoiners want bitcoin to keep appreciating as an asset without becoming money, so it doesn't upset the government. In my view, bitcoin can't become money without its value rising, and its value can't keep rising without it becoming money. If bitcoin keeps working as designed, it keeps appreciating until it becomes money.

Money is the general medium of exchange, the thing people are most likely to trade. What you are most likely to trade is the thing in which you have the largest cash balances. Bitcoin will only become money when its cash balances are large and held by a very large number of people, and for that to happen, Number must Go Up. If bitcoin cash balances are tiny, it cannot be money, no matter how much we larp circular economies and annoy merchants to accept it only to convert it to fiat to pay their rent and staff. If bitcoin keeps appreciating until its cash balances are the largest of any cash in the world, people will use it for trade, and it will be money. You won't have to pester a merchant to accept it, because his own cash balance, and the cash balances of his landlord and staff, are mostly in bitcoin, and they all want it.

Bitcoin will have to appreciate enormously to work as money, whether you like it or not. And if bitcoin keeps appreciating, people will use it as money, whether you like it or not.

Embrace the NGU.

Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death.

The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange.

Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek.

Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.
