@npub1k7v…c04l, in your pod with @npub1cj8…rz4u you spoke about the debt refinancing cycle, approximately every 4 years since GFC, necessary for business but does this liquidity crunch that eventually gets supported by central banks also affect the real estate markets as well & the refinancing of mortgages? Thanks!

Hi @npub1s05…eyhe , in your most recent podcast with @npub15vz…k4um , you say we are getting less and less productivity out of ever increasing debt, which is true, but do you see any signs that perhaps some of this increasing debt will be used more productively, say in supporting AI development, and that this rate of ever increasing less productive debt could relatively decrease as more productive debt is created? And if so, how does this start to affect things in the longer term assuming this trend exists/continues?
Thank you.

Amazingly put! I have thought the same for many years now. Everything you say is True. My personal Spiritual journey started before my personal #bitcoin journey, and I think this has supported my understanding of Bitcoin’s greatest gift/potential for mankind, that being an accelerant for conscious awakening. What may have taken millions of more years might happen in thousands, if not sooner. I do think it will take several generations, so it’s been important for me (and challenging) to hold this larger picture while literally having many in my own family dismiss it. And thankfully, my own spiritual journey has revealed to me that we are all just sitting around an eternal fire, waiting for each other to remember this truth. And miraculously enough, a fractal version of this eternal fire 🔥 was discovered in cyberspace. And again, we all sit here, waiting, for one soul at a time to see it, feel it and join us. It’s a beautiful life. May we all resonate at the frequency necessary to welcome more and more to the 🔥.

The one thing I always ask myself, “has anything fundamentally changed on the base layer?” So far the answer has always been “no”. So, I continue down the road of the unknown.

If I use @albyhub with LND on my @start9 is that running my own lightning node? I had to open up a channel and have adequate liquidity. It all works. It feels like it’s the real deal. But are there any areas where I’m relying on some entity?

2025-02-23 22:20:10 UTC

“The right to write on the ledger…”
The fact that we can simply buy bitcoin, privately and securely, holding in self-custody, is a massive honour and privilege. We are the lucky generation at the genesis of it all. Absolutely incredible. And to do so on the base layer… amazing.

2025-02-19 17:41:51 UTC

The clip below got me thinking. 🤔
As #bitcoin continues is adoption phase and monetizes various forms of capital currently held in a variety of more physical and/or more fiat forms of capital preservation, the physical world could begin to look a little rough over a significant period of time. As the capital is sucked out of buildings, bonds, etc., the entropy of the universe will continue is never-ending onslaught.
Capital being preserved in the vacuum of cyberspace, relatively frictionless in regard to the forces of entropy will not be deployed into physical space until the right conditions present them selves.
Living in 🇨🇦 right now, after a 10-year Trudeau socialist/communist ideologically driven high student council running the show, intentionally missing dozens of mega-infrastructure projects around the abundance of resources we have, feels very heavy. The dark is dark. The taxes are suffocating. It’s driving all forms of capital out of the country. This won’t turn around quickly. Thank God for #bitcoin !
The healthcare system (fReE!) is rough. No signs of significant development on the horizon. Cost of living ⬆️, standard of living ⬇️. Heroes will be forded in this time.
I’m 42 years old with a young family. It still makes sense for me to stay here for now. But this life will be an adventure no doubt! I’m here for it, I’m ready. LFG!

Thanks for answering. So once the BTC goes into L-BTC that L-BTC will always be associated and traceable to the original BTC that it was created from? I like the idea of swapping it into lightning from liquid, and then into base layer BTC again. I am so curious if that is traceable!

In light of the whole Samourai wallet coinjoin issue, when someone pegs-in and out of L-BTC, does it add any level of privacy for someone assuming they are using a new wallet to peg-out from that which was used to peg-in? I hope I worded this such that it makes sense. Let’s assume both were self-custody wallets through your own node.

Thanks for articulating this. I recently sold all my ETH for BTC, an internal debate I’ve had for literally 3 years. My head and heart say Bitcoin is the innovation. My greed knows that there is a significant chance ETH will outperform BTC in the coming years, however, for me its relatively centralization compared to BTC as well as PoS not being comparable to PoW (which I think is critical), I got out of ETH. Purely based on my fundamentals. I’m not a trader (been there, done that, had luck, got rekt) and so sticking simply to Bitcoin for now is the only thing I have time to understand. I hope in my lifetime I’ll see the fruits of my hodling, but even if that’s not meant to be, and BTC continues its existence, I’ll pass it along to my heirs. Until proven otherwise, this is the plan for now. Thank you, Willy. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years. Subscribed to your sub stack last cycle, always appreciated your charts and analysis.

“Saying that you want the Bitcoin network to use less energy exposes you as either naively uninformed, dangerously authoritarian, or both. A decrease in Bitcoin’s energy use is a decrease in security, fair distribution, and resistance to hostile alteration. If you are cheering for a reduction in hashrate you are cheering for centralization and ease of corruption.”
