Blast from the past! Nothing tugs on my nostalgia strings like music does.
Once in a while a random song will come on my stream that I haven't listened to in ages and it hits me like a freight train.
"Stay crunchy" by @ronaldjenkees just did that.

This isn't an opinion; it's an indispensable technical fact. If bitcoin doesn't go up in value it can't work because nobody wants to willingly hold a money that drops in value, and even more importantly, we can only increase its liquidity, market cap, scalability and moneyness by increasing its price, since the supply is fixed. At a price of $1 bitcoin is a $20m joke among nerds online, practically useless for everyone as there's no liquidity. At a price of $10m bitcoin is the biggest money on earth, and necessary for everyone. If you want bitcoin to work you need NGU. Virtue-signaling "tech, not price" is as silly as saying you like car technology but don't care if the car moves.

unpopular opinion from someone all-in on bitcoin:
if i didn't expect the price to go up significantly over the next 5 to 10 years, i'd own very little of it
censorship-resistant money matters. paraguay just showed why
but nobody wants to hold something they get poorer in. that's the whole problem with fiat
number go up is the adoption story. bitcoin has to be the fastest horse

Wow, I hadn't watched this in probably 10+ yrs.
Holy hell. In 2005 I would've said it was entertaining but kind of absurd comic book paranoia. Punches SO MUCH harder today.
I'm not the most extreme anti-gov Bitcoiner, but even I had to marvel at the echoes and warnings here.

Trump’s “I saved Israel, the Middle East, Europe and Los Angeles from getting nuked by Iran!” is the same as his “I saved 100 million lives with my Covid vaccine & I saved the world!”
His entire legacy is a lie and he has to keep lying to defend his horrific Presidency.

“I want to do things naturally”
I want you to do things naturally also!
But my bro you’ve been 60lbs overweight for 10 years, you sleep when the suns up, you eat godforsaken slop, you’re on a stress hamster wheel and you eat more calories than daily step count
You abandoned nature decades ago
Go back to our great grandfathers pastoral life if you can
Otherwise….
Here’s your vial

Me: I can type a very strong, all characters, truly random passphrase on the Q in 15 seconds.
SeedSigner users: Why do you need to type that fast?
Me: I can confidently dice roll seeds with the Q way faster than any other hardware.
SS users: So what?
Me: I can configure all sorts of trick pins, wipe features, scramble keys, etc.
SS users: Why do you need to do that?
Me: I can use the USB port to send stored passwords directly to PC.
SS users: just copy from vaultwarden
Me: I can conveniently store a ridiculous amount of seeds with beautiful seed names :) in the seed vault (without backups) and even if someone managed to compromise device and retrieve these seeds, the real funds could be hidden behind a passphrase on top of the seeds.
SS users: just have like 15 different encrypted QR codes and memorize the decryptions.
Me: I can create a specially prepared microsd card that must be inserted before correct pin is entered or the seed is wiped.
SS users: Who uses that?
Me: I can securely store and use several multisig descriptor backups directly on my devices in case some of my other ones get lost.
SS users: stateless is the way bro
Me: I can clone my Q with everything on it and have an exact backup on another Q within 45 seconds
SS users: Who cares?
Me: I can securely store passwords, personal info, card info, gun serial numbers, seeds of all types (bip85, passphrase) node QR info, everything, etc on the CC Q. All of this info can be conveniently stored in beautiful, organized groups :) I can then securely and selectively transfer some of this info or all of this info to someone in a different country with a wiped Q, using the Key Teleport feature without anything being intercepted.
SS users: .........
Me: I can literally just keep requesting new features without any additional work on my end and the CC team will keep adding them.
SS users: just fork your own firmware bro
Me: I can continue wasting my time explaining what the SeedSigner is not capable of (there is plenty more) but you dont actually care.
SS users: you are correct
Me: the Q has a built in flashlight
SS users: thats sick

One big problem with the Soviet Union was that if you told the truth you would get punished.
To advance in a career in the government, people had to lie. Lie about how well things were going, how many resources people had.
So this created a top layer of management who were fed false information. And since there wasnt any real elections, there was no way to get accurate information. Leaders thought things were fine.
Then it all collapsed.

If Russell Brand can be correctly convicted, why can literally nobody from the Epstein files be convicted.

⚡️The American upper-middle class has built its financial life around an assumption that is beginning to fail: that professional earning power is a durable asset.
The deeper problem is that a $320,000 salary was never an asset on the household balance sheet. It was a recurring payment from an institution that could terminate the arrangement.
Yet the mortgage, lifestyle, and long-term obligations were structured as though that payment would continue.
Temporary access to institutional income was converted into permanent financial commitments.
For decades, this worked because professional experience generally accumulated value. A manager who lost a job could often sell the same expertise to another company at comparable compensation.
AI is attacking that replacement mechanism.
A company eliminating a management position can now reconsider whether the function requires another manager at all. When enough employers make that calculation simultaneously, displaced professionals discover that their previous compensation was supported by an organizational structure that is being dismantled.
And the most consequential part is the asymmetry.
A company can reduce its labor costs immediately. A household cannot reduce its financial obligations at the same speed.
That creates forced adaptation. Savings disappear. Assets get liquidated. Housing decisions change. Families that appeared wealthy discover how much of their security depended on uninterrupted employment.
The next phase of white-collar displacement will expose a distinction that high salaries concealed for decades.
Many Americans who appeared financially successful were actually highly compensated participants in a system they did not control.
Their standard of living was substantial. Their independence was fragile.
And the emerging economy is beginning to price those two things very differently.
The deepest signal is that the economic value of professional labor is becoming less durable precisely as the financial commitments built upon that labor have become larger.
That is the transmission mechanism from AI productivity to household financial distress.
And it has only begun.
A friend from college reached out…
Got laid off as a manager at Microsoft
Made $320k and can’t land a new job
His mortgage is over $8k/month
Said he runs out of money in 10 months
Has a wife and 3 young kids
Usually confident but sounded dejected and unsure if he can get a new job
You never think it’ll be you

Four things can be true at once:
- Russell Brand went against the leftist establishment during and after Covid
- Russell Brand was a sex addict who lied to and exploited women
- it is almost impossible to prove assault allegations beyond a reasonable doubt decades after the fact with no physical proof
- the British legal system went after him far harder than immigrant rape gangs, Jimmy Savile, Cyril Smith and many others
