We wouldn’t need ICE if there was no welfare state. Perfect example of a retarded binary system pitting one side against the other when the solution for both sides actually is the same solution. Impossible to have this discussion. Even on Nostr.

There are actually a lot of parallels from pleb slop Stranger Things and #bitcoin . Bitcoin is the “good, light, normal world” and Fiat is the “evil, dark, upside down world. They are connected by a bridge between the two worlds and the options are to destroy the bridge and sever the two worlds or be subsumed by the fiat world. It’s a constant struggle and battle as Bitcoiners until we sever the two worlds.

Headed to a funeral this afternoon for my long term mentor and boss. Despite handling defaulted borrowers in the fiat system, he was a true man of class that taught me to respect people even when you held all the power. People were more important than anything and you were dealing with them at their lowest of lows. I based my entire professional approach off of this lesson and it has undoubtedly made me more empathetic. He canceled for our quarterly dinner in December at the last minute and 3 of us never got to say goodbye. He passed away on Christmas Eve. Cherish your time here and your time with others that have materially affected your life. You never know when your time chain is up. God Bless and RIP Joe.
