Sometimes, due to my fight against human stupidity, I forget one of my core principles: pragmatism. I don't care about dogmas; I only do what benefits my family. The world is run by the interests of 0.01% of the population. The other 99.99% of humans should not care about their actions, even if they affect them, and should focus on the future of their families and little else, given that the struggle is asymmetrical. But this brings me back to human stupidity. For more than 100 years, men have ignored the hard money that brings prosperity to their families and instead use the fake money that benefits that 0.01%. If you love someone, don't make them use that fake money because it will only bring them pain. Just use hard money and ignore the noise.

Today is a very interesting day for reflection. Some people said, “Does the end justify the means?” Well, we have to look at the damage caused by those means, but if the end is to overthrow a dictator who has ruined a population of 30 million people for years, what happened today is more than justified. But was today's goal to overthrow Maduro or to steal Venezuela's oil? It's curious how Putin has been criticized, and mind you, I'm never going to defend a statist, but I love to expose the double standards of the West. Putin simply defended or took advantage of the opportunity that arose when Ukraine bombed and massacred the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine for years in order to annex those lands. Was it because of the massacre of the Russian population or was it to annex the land? We will never know. But today Trump tells you directly that it is because of the oil, and it is not just part of Venezuela, it is all of Venezuela. Worry more about your family and your pocketbook than defending statist interests, and you will get further in life.

Nostr is filling up with statist cyber volunteers. My position will always be the same: fire cannot be extinguished with fire, statism cannot be solved with more statism, and replacing one thief with another thief is useless. What should Venezuelans do now? - Put their differences aside. - Be clear that the US is going to exploit them and that they will surely be worse off within a year. - The sovereignty of the army must lie with the people, not with any government. - Create a legitimate but minimal government. - Use hard currency. - Abolish the central bank.
