chat one of my most ultimate pipe dreams is to make a fuckton of money and convince the Spanos family to sell me the Los Angeles Chargers so I can bring them back to San Diego where they belong.

chat we are in the era of memetic inversion. you think you understand irony but you don't, because it's twisted beyond comprehension—i am you and you are me and we are meme.
in other news, travis kelce got BITCH SLAPPED by a man with the last name Tart from my home team, the (still San Diego in my heart) Los Angeles Chargers.
karma is patrick mahomes scowling face on a lost W.
karma is knowing that we are so back baby.
I've had an iPhone as my second phone for two weeks now and I hate it, total trash and can't stand the discrepancy between iOS apps and Android apps. like wtf.

chat sometimes I think about how I probably would have been a lot more famous and popular had I gotten into video content creation, for better or for worse, but I'm glad that I didn't for this reason:
I'm just a writer. twitter is a writing platform. I don't use any other kind of platform because writing is the best and you don't need to see my face all up in a camera to get the message. it's far more friendly this way and really has nothing to do with my self-confidence or lack thereof.
imo, we've put such a weird weight on "well if you wouldn't say this to my face then why say it online?" first of all, I'm an introvert and you'll probably never be near my face; secondly, I would say this to your face but I'm not trying to get assaulted because you (not YOU, but you) can't handle it.
writing is MEANT to evoke emotions that might result in some sort of altercation if said in person, and it's good that we have this format to express ourselves even in seemingly uncivilized ways. there's nothing less powerful about writing regardless of the device or the mode of communication.
plenty of people in my generation have fallen in love with other people through chats and text messages. writing often requires thoughtfulness and is heartfelt because there are things some of us are simply too scared to say out loud. I don't see a reason to become a vlogger for that reason. I love the written word and I love writing. I could write all day and chat with people all over the world on the internet and never get bored.
seeing peoples' faces doesn't change how I feel about them from their writing; in fact, it enhances the experience of meeting people because us writing folks are a unique breed of deep thinkers.
I want to be remembered for my writing more than I want to be remembered for my outer appearance tbh, not that I'm that bad to look at!
we all have something we want to be remembered for and I hope that you make the best of whatever that thing is for you 🫶🏼
another thing to consider is that much of the confusion that happens in terms of Bitcoin macroeconomics seems to have something to do with an overcrowded "stage" of inflationary, or debt based, financial instruments.
Bitcoin is probably one of the long DEFLATIONARY financial instruments and that's, in part, because its value remains the same as it passes hands, or wallets, between people and institutions, etc.
the fiat based central banking system has a lot more middlemen and thus a lot of more inflationary instruments, which might also be considered usurious in nature—take interest rates on loans, for example: by the time a dollar is lent out to a consumer, it might pass through numerous instruments which all add a tax, fee, or charge on each dollar, so the debt to the consumer is actually far higher because the inflation of the price of a dollar will reflect in some other area.
this is how and why the whole world became enslaved to this one usury based financial system and why Bitcoin is so antithetical to it: the only real fees you pay are to buy and send, or if you utilize some sort of intermediary or sell privately with a markup. with how stable Bitcoin has become as a currency, lots of people can actually buy and sell for liquid utility without fear of losing out on a market pump.
and once Bitcoin is accepted everywhere for everything, there will be no need for fiat based on ramps and off ramps, stablecoins and such. price stability means more free circulation and more payments adoption. the lack of volatility while every other asset class is seeing wild swings is why I believe that Bitcoin will someday overtake gold in market cap.
gold is nice and all but Bitcoin is better than gold by far.
chat I just want you to know that the price of Bitcoin holding steady as inflation rises is actually an excellent thing as you don't want the price correlating with an inflated dollar, but instead becoming a fixed point at which dollar inflation is relevant only unto itself.
this is why I have always said not to listen to those retardios who talk about million dollar Bitcoins by next year or whatever.
in reality, one Bitcoin will eventually come to represent roughly what the dollar would be worth if it remained on the gold standard, which is basically what Bitcoin aims to become.
all of this massive institutional pumping and dumping while the price stays stable is literally the best thing that could happen—it shows that the old market and its con artists are losing power, and quickly.
this is something to celebrate.
