Last Notes npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I didn't say I would sell. I said I would admit my thesis is wrong and would not recommend others buy bitcoin. I'm still staying on this ship no matter what npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Think marginally. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean You can find it on saifedean.substack.com npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean This important account documenting Israel's genocide is being censored on Xitter. Give them a follow here! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Same thing you do if a shitty restaurant demanded a year's income to not poison you. You go to another restaurant. You hire another security firm. Obviously the honest security firm will be infinitely more efficient and powerful than the scammers trying to get by on theft npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean They use their gains to hire private security that is 100x cheaper and 100x more effective than buying bonds to fund genocidal pedophiles in the hope they'd protect you npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean No, you did not miss the bitcoin train. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Dr. Hisham Ammous: Life as Clinical Surgery npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean If I don't call for the murder of anyone, how am I possibly extreme? Consider the obvious alternative explanation that you are do pathetically and heavily proagandized that you view the idea of Jews and goys being equal under the law as extreme. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you for your wonderful gift of your product. Can't wait to get stuck in it! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you sir npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Never heard of this. Is it good? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean No it's cheaper in terms of human time but more expensive in terms of fiat npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Yes! Stay tuned!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I've had him on my podcast before! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean They're a fiat scam. See my podcast with Malcolm Kendrick. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I am good thank you. I'm not in Lebanon anymore if that's what you're asking about. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Nothing like it npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I wonder about the same thing and think you're probably right npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Riverside is shit. It ruins conversations by having a huge lag and causes people to keep speaking over each other. Streamyard is a lot better. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean He's not saying it wouldn't decrease the purchasing power, he's saying the decrease would not be exactly inversely proportional to the increase in supply npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Yes the copy feels and looks great. But no there are no edits added npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Yes npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Only if you get it from thesaifhouse.com npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean It really is me. I posted my npub on Twitter npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean By fixing the money to lower our time preference npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Yes I'd love to get Savory and I've reached out but haven't heard back. Let me know if you have a good way of reaching him. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Happy happy birthday!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean It's in the works 👍 coming soon from Konsensus Network npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Yes, I know him and I orange pilled him a long time ago... And, believe it or not, I even helped carnivore -pill him! I'll let him know about nostr npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean That's the plan npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I can, but not in a nostr post. I've written three books which discuss these enormous questions in detail if you're interested. The Fiat Standard is probably the one most relevant to this. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean You can! We ship worldwide npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Delighted to announce the launch of my publishing house and online bookstore TheSaifHouse.com, publishing the best Bitcoin and economics books in high quality cloth hardcover and audiobook and ebook and offering 10% off for payment in bitcoin! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Just check out and choose to pay with Bitcoin.

I saw that the book is sold out on the Russian website and I don't know where you can get a physical copy... BUT you can pirate it in pdf from this link: http://library.lol/main/D9F1A4BE23427FCDDEAEAD847B85175F npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you so much 🙏 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you 🙏🙏 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Unfortunately no npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Life's too short to mince words🤝 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Nope it really is me. I tweeted my public key on Twitter a while back! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Hello! Yes I'm here! I've also got two more books you might enjoy: The Fiat Standard and Principles of Economics! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I spoke at this conference four years ago, not sure why they still have my pic. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I don't know for sure but I don't take them personally because they seem suspect and because why would I want to skip delicious meat to drink slop? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I'm good friends with Amjad. He's a bitcoiner and won't be pushing any shitcoin nonsense. And yes, I really hope he helps orange pill the crown prince! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean It's already available from my website and will be on Audible very soon. We've finished submitting the files and everything required so it shouldn't be to long. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Please beware impersonators!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I'm not sure honestly. Check with Konsensus Network, they'll probably know. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Awesome to see, thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean The Otto Wilde classic is the best in the world, by far and I say this having tried many many grills. I discussed it here and you can get 10% off with the code saifedean npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean You should have received a tracking link. If you haven't please email info at saifedean dot com npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean They should have already shipped! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I'm talking to someone this week about hopefully making it happen!! Stay tuned and sign up to my mailing list on my website to stay updated npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you so much, really appreciate it 🙏 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Remember when the dogecoin con artist promised to end spam on Twitter, then declared victory over the spambots, and then all his fanbois pretended the spam went away and the problem was solved? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean No. Nothing. Nothing. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Completely false. Germany & Japan dominated post WW2 industrialization with strong currencies, as does China now. The industrial revolution happened on a gold standard. Switzerland stayed on the gold standard and had the highest productivity in the world. The idea that destroying your currency creates industrialization is another criminal fiat lie to promote inflation and benefit parasitic scum. It's the equivalent of telling you that selling your work tools will increase your revenue and raise your productivity. You're destroying your capital stock and devaluing everyone's wealth, forcing them to sell more to survive, and then taking these added sales as a mark of success rather than criminal theft. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean 7.5 years so far. I enjoy & benefit from it so much I don't think I'll go back to plants. See saifedean.com/meat npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Wow. I had no idea Nostr was so toxic I'd be accused of running an elaborate shitcoin scam just like that😂 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Have fun getting fat!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Eating meat only npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Awesome, delighted to hear this!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean There are already two Persian translations out there. Pirated! Details in the link. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean 🎉Five years ago today, The Bitcoin Standard was published!🎉 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Tax is theft. If a project is worth pursuing, people will willingly pay to pursue it. If people won't willingly pay for it, then it's not worth pursuing. The examples of government funding long term projects are basically grifts that go nowhere. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean If it was wise you and people who agree with you would be paying for it willingly. That you need fiat scam subsidies says you don't really believe it. I don't believe it's worth it either.👍 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean This is gorgeous, I'll try it out👍 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Why aren't you paying for it willingly and forcing fiat users to subsidize you if it was such an amazing achievement? Also, that explosion didn't look very reusable today, did it? If only you were paying for it instead of everyone else on the world who doesn't give a shit! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Exactly zero accomplishment except the amazing feat of getting otherwise intelligent people to treat the obvious waste like it's an accomplishment. The satellite internet thing is a stupid grift we've been over before. The rockets aren't achieving anything except sell pipedreams npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean The subsidies are the obvious problem, and their presence is why people deal with this insane and obviously pointless stupid waste as if it were some glorious accomplishment. Everything looks good when you don't have to pay for it! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean There is exactly zero achievement. Just endless elaborate excuses to get gullible people to support government giving him money. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I don't value it enough to take food off my kids'dinner table to pay for it. I believe all the TV viewers who care about it should pay for it themselves, and the fact that they can only do it by robbing me tells me all I need to know npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean That just means it's becoming cheaper to blow things up in the air with no return. The idea that there is any benefit from this is just marketing npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean So the dogecoin con artist is getting billions in government subsidies to launch massive rockets that do nothing more than blow up in the sky... And this is somehow a brave and heroic achievement and not just blatant theft because he's convinced TV viewers that these rockets will somehow take humanity to Mars. Do I have this right? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Electricity is so cheap that you can only get it for 1-2 hours a day. For the rest of the day, you need private generators which are way too expensive for mining npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Tfw it hits me that the word count of the three books is practically the same as the number of bitcoin blocks it took to write them🤯 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean He should be able to get it and doesn't need any background in the topic to enjoy it. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean 1,044 pages in 326,000 blocks! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you, and don't be too upset, clearly my words were the motivation Messi needed to win the world cup! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Twitter people freaking out about CO2 and I'm just happy carbonhysterics will miss out on Bitcoin npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Welcome to the party! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Boil it, or fry it in butter, tallow, or ghee. Or do both! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Sorry but I didn't even see that! Thank you sir!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Weston Price nutrition and physical degeneration . npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean The tastiest part of the animal. And probably the most nutritious too. Very different flavor, almost butter like. It's also absolutely delicious to boil the entire head and make soup and eat it. Best soup you'll ever have npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean تكرم عينك! كبد ودرن/جبن وقلب npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Why??🥲🥲 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Chunk of lamb heart npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Before Bitcoin, basically 😂 npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Most delicious and nutritious part of the cow, but you can't eat too much of it as it's too fatty. You need muscle meat npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean If you've never had grilled ribeye with heart and brains, what are you even doing with your life? npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean Thank you, delighted to hear that!! npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean I still think cables are much cheaper. Ultimately with all businesses, theoretical calculations are no match to economic reality. Can the business run profitably without resorting to government subsidies and contracts? All of Musk's scams rely on government subsidies and contracts and nothing about Starlink suggests it's going to be different. npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak saifedean You can get much cheaper redundancy by having ANOTHER CABLE! It's not about what you think is nice to have; it's about what you'll actually pay for. Like Tesla, SiaceX and all this retard's scams, Starlink only works thanks to government contracts --i.e. theft. They don't work because consumers pay for them
