Next level art unlocked by Bitcoin. Never in history has this been possible. Amazing work!
“It’s About Time” is a mirrored sculpture that has a secret compartment holding a private key that unlocks timelocked bitcoin every 21 years for 210 years. A true Family Heirloom you can pass down over 10 generations. Each generation unlocking their own bitcoin, and preserving the keys for the next generation. Engrave your name in your family history. Create your own legend, told at family gatherings and holidays for centuries. “It’s About Time” invites the viewer to reflect deeply on the meaning of time.  What is Time? How is it measured? Where do we, individually and as humanity, fit into the grand Timescape stretching endlessly into the future? Please consider sharing this tweet to help spread the signal! Now let’s explore the elements “It’s About Time” brings together;

For years, Bitcoin's energy was much maligned. This was based on deeply flawed and now debunked research. Now, the tide has turned in the scientific consensus and the media and I've summarized why both now say Bitcoin has environmental benefits in a plain English talk.

As one of the few economists who was also early in Bitcoin, I can dispute some of the opinions presented as facts in this report and thread.
1/ The debate over Bitcoin’s utility and sustainability began already with Nakamoto’s 2008 work. Many economists see Bitcoin as a speculative bubble that will eventually burst, leaving behind substantial social damage amid its high energy use and facilitating illicit payments.

ECB: You know Bitcoin si likely to go to infinity Nocoiner: Oh so you are saying the laser eyes maxi were right? ECB: No no, I am saying they are dangerous & they'll steal all your money with Bitcoin. Nocoiner: So I should buy some then? ECB: NO NO ! You should ask the governement to ban it. Nocoiner: But then I will still be poor. That's stupid. Better buy some and get rich wit the cool kids. ECB: But that's mean. You should rather Have Fun Staying Poor. Nocoiner: thanks, but no thanks.

The whole global economic system is being hilariously upended and you're alive to see it. Computers will soon operate themselves better than a human could. How much longer will professional button pushers outperform AI at coding, statistical analysis, spreadsheets, slide decks, etc? Not much longer. The majority of white collar intellectual work will be wiped out. We are horses watching the emergence of the automobile. But that's not all... Realtime computer vision is rapidly advancing. Which means robots that complete manual tasks at a fraction of the cost of a human employee aren't far off. For the first time in human history, NO ONE can tell you which jobs will still be here 10 years from now. And now let's consider sovereign debt. It's still the underlying collateral of the global financial system. But it's not made for the world that's coming. At best sovereign debt is backed by tax revenues of citizens that will soon be out of work. But the massive debt and deficit levels mean that even without mass unemployment, sovereign debt is already pretty much worthless if you reason from first principles. It can only be paid back in hideously debased fiat currency. Which means it's already a confidence game that only works as long as people don't think about it too much. So to review, we have a once in a species disruption of human work, hitting at the same time that the debt-based financial system has reached its logical conclusion. Any entity with liabilities that need to be paid out in real terms should be scrambling to prepare for this new reality. Pension funds. Insurance companies. Governments. They all need an asset that can keep up with the debasement of fiat currency if they want to prevent their constituents from rioting French Revolution style. No doubt some of the people in charge see WW3 as a convenient solution... When things get tough at home, the easy thing to do is send the masculine youth to go die in a far-off ditch before they have a chance to rise up. But there's a much better solution. It's painfully clear to many of us that finite #Bitcoin is the asset that can help us out of this apparent trap. Yesterday's announcement that the Wisconsin state pension fund bought $162 million of spot Bitcoin should not be overlooked. This is the very beginning of a peaceful migration of global capital into the new collateral. We're hot-swapping the wings of the financial system mid-air. Which means it might be a bumpy ride. But that's the real "soft landing" we should be paying attention to. Not how old man Powell fiddles with interest rates, or how many fiat digits Yellen pumps into the system. Their goose is already cooked. The best they can do is delay the inevitable. BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS! Washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners... These tools gave us more of our most precious asset: Time. We wouldn't dream of washing our clothes by hand today. Likewise, AI and robotics will give us an incredible amount of our lives back. Future generations will feel bad that we spent so much time staring at screens, clicking buttons, and doing menial labor. Meanwhile, the price of all goods will absolutely plummet in #Bitcoin terms. Just as fossil fuels lead to an enormous increase in standard of living, so too will the AI and robotics boom. The biggest challenge in all of this will be what humans do with their time. Most of us have been conditioned since childhood to think that we must stay busy. When you're a kid, you have no problem playing in the yard all day, looking at bugs, and living in the moment. But then we enter the conveyor belt of school. And we're conditioned to strive and seek external approval for our efforts. Undoing that conditioning will be the hardest part. Learning to find contentment in pure human experience will be difficult for most. #Bitcoin can fix the financial and economic system. After that, a positive philosophy of living will be needed. But let's take it one problem at a time 😉

Ironically, the vast majority of apparel in the outdoor industry is made of toxic chemicals. Gore Tex likely being the worst offender, double coated with PFAs (forever chemicals) for water "proofing" Polyester (made from petrochemicals also) comprising the majority of fabrics.

I caught CDC lying in their official publication (MMWR) about efficacy of COVID shots in December 2020. I recorded phone calls of them admitting to me I was right. When they refused to tell the public the truth, I released the recordings to @SharylAttkisson who exposed them.
👀 Sharyl Attkisson on How Rep. Thomas Massie Caught the CDC Lying About the COVID Vaccines "The CDC, in a paper that had to be written by the vaccine makers in my mind, lied about what the studies found which encouraged people who probably already had immunity because they already had COVID to go out and get a vaccine that could give them side effects...So they created or worsened what could be considered a crisis by their misinformation...And my big question is, the misinformation was signed off by something like twelve members of this CDC expert committee. Did none of them read the original studies as I had and as Congressman Massie had? Do they just sign papers somebody else writes and not understand the data and the claims in it are wrong? I think this is a huge scandal and nobody's been held to account for that." @SharylAttkisson @DrJBhattacharya @RepThomasMassie @Ravarora1 @TheIllusionC

I've said it before, I'll say it again. We do not have a federal government in the traditional sense. We have a kleptocracy. This is not a flower: It is an orchid mantis. It looks like a flower so it can eat bees. A kleptocracy is not a government. It looks like a government, it mimics a government, but it does not govern. It exists to steal. And while every theft is disguised as an act of governance, there is no actual governance, only theft, acts taken in defense of theft, and acts taken to prevent the public from becoming aware of the theft. Are you wondering why those craaaazzzy anarcho-capitalists want to abolish the federal government? Are you wondering why they don't understand what disasters would ensue without governance on every level? Well, we already have no federal government. Only Zuul. Nearly all of those functions of the federal government that you think are so important are already being left undone, or done fake and gay, for the purpose of stealing. A man with senile dementia pretended to be president for four years, and it didn't make a difference. And now he's sitting on a beach refusing to go along with the charade any longer, and that doesn't make a difference, either. The federal government isn't doing one thing you actually need done, unless you draw your paycheck from them, in which case you are part of the problem. If we shut it all down for six months, the states would keep on handling things exactly as they do, and you wouldn't notice if you didn't read social media or watch the news. Perhaps it's time to rethink the size, or the very existence, of the federal government.
WESTERN ANTI-DEMOCRACIES The underlying issue is that "democratic" governments are actually wildly democratically unpopular, as you can see from the recent image below: Basically, Washington DC and its Western European satellite states would not retain control — or the ability to steal as much money from their people — if they allowed truly free speech and free markets. And that's why they've become so anti-democratic: - Building one-party states (eg California) - Faking the news (eg Russiagate) - Censoring the internet (eg Hunter Biden story) - Show trials of political opposition (eg Trump) - Weaponizing commercial law (eg Elon Delaware) - Arresting tech founders (eg France) - Imprisoning people for tweets (eg UK) - Blowing up Nordstream, then covering it up - Funding COVID-19, then hiding that too - Fomenting war and cold war everywhere The list goes on and on. This is also why they blather so much about democracy. Censoring the Hunter Biden story during the 2020 election shows they're about as genuinely "democratic" as the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. Indeed, Communist states also called themselves democratic over and over, for very similar reasons. Because just like "communism" meant one-party rule by the Communist Party, this type of "democracy" just means one-party rule by the Democrat Party — or their wholly owned blue subsidiaries in places like the UK and France. (To prove it, ask a partisan Democrat if they'd push for actual democracy, in the sense of competitive multiparty elections. Of course not — if they reduced gerrymandering, they might elect a Republican! And that of course would be an attack on "democracy." Thus does the epistemic loop close.) Anyway, the whole point of Western anti-democracy is to frustrate the democratic voice of the people in favor of one-party control by an illegitimate, parasitic regime. But why? BUT WHY? Why do blues care about control so much? Are they simply sadists, who want to see the streets of their own capitals covered in filth while innocents are assaulted by criminals? I mean, that's surely part of it. But another huge part is that blues are more interested in stealing money from the people via $100B trains to nowhere than in any kind of genuine public service. And that is why they will fight so bitterly to retain control: blues are looting world historical amounts of money and want to continue doing that. THE BLUE BUSINESS MODEL This is a huge concept, but you can get the idea in just one graph from the city of San Francisco. Note how the budget of this homeless "prevention" agency went from $200M to $1B+ per year, while the homeless population skyrocketed? That's because these Democrat drug dealers get paid for increasing the homeless population. They do the marketing, by putting up billboards for hard drugs like the one below. They manage the supply chain, by handing out syringes. They secure the real estate in the form of "safe injection sites." And they handle compliance, by suing in the courts and abolishing the police. And that is why blue cities have become shitholes: because blues get paid for making them into shitholes! This is the Dem Scam. They are McKinsey for MS-13, essentially management consultants for murderous drug dealers. Blues have their smarts, though. The primary blue business model innovation is to avoid taking a small cut of a $10 fentanyl transaction in lieu of taking all of the $1B+ for fentanyl "prevention." Blues are, in short, criminals posing as cops. Like the Communist Party, the Democrat Party is a pack of government criminals. You can see it from their sympathies — among other things, this is why blues wanted to abolish the real police, so they could loot in peace. That's also why they destroy democracy in blue-controlled areas like California: by turning them into one-party states they avoid all accountability for their crimes. PROVE AND SCALE Once the homeless industrial complex model was proven in San Francisco, it was scaled to the rest of the US and the world. I mean, going from $200M to $1B/year as per that graph above is huge! It's more than Uber makes in SF. If that was a venture-backed business, you'd scale it everywhere. And so the blues did. Thus you get San Francisco on the Seine. Paris imported not just the tech of California, but the woke of California as well: Now you might say: well, this is unethical! And of course, the blues who do this completely lack ethics. Blues are getting innocent people, largely minorities, addicted to drugs in order to make money for their NGOs. They're also letting innocent people get attacked on the streets. Blues are befouling their own neighborhood for a quick buck. This is genuinely evil behavior. But we know that kind of person exists. After all, that's why drug dealers exist. And that's why Democrat drug dealers exist. THAT'S WHY THEY DO IT So, that's why Western anti-democracies will fight so hard to remain in power: because they want to steal your money. Because of the blue business model. And the blue business model isn't limited to Democrat drug dealing, of course. There are endless variations, both American and foreign. Some examples: a) Blues made money from the $100B California train to nowhere, which produced billions for unions and zero miles of rail. b) Blues made money by forgiving student loans for blues while imposing punishing taxes on reds. c) Blues make money from every bill they pass, which always includes appropriations for blue-controlled universities or subsidies for blue-controlled nonprofits. d) And above all, blues make money by literally making money — by printing money via the Fed. This is the largest theft in human history, and the printed bucks go largely to blues. Anyway, there's more I can say, but you start to get the point. The reason Western anti-democracies are cracking down on democracy is because they want to protect the blue business model. Many blues just wouldn't have as much money, or as much status, without their parasitic states. So: trillions of dollars is at stake, and they will play for keeps. PS: There's only one force that's stronger than blue, and that's orange. But that's a topic for another day.
