You are making a lot of assumptions about me, and boxing me in quite a bit. I’m not some ardent defender of capitalism, generally. I’m an ardent defender of property rights and individualism/autonomy.
The predominate concepts that I believe apply most to economic systems are incentive structures, scarcity, and human behavior. If those three things get plugged in as variables into any of or mix of economic systems that humans have applied in complex markets, capitalism by comparison has had objectively better results than collectivism. Which I’m not saying that you’re even advocating for, I understand your position is a bit more nuanced, as is mine.
Pure capitalism has ills and faults, too. 💯 acknowledge that. But the idealism you are projecting hasn’t occurred yet in a complex human society with enough historical record and/or participants to contrast it with say capitalism or socialism.
I don’t believe that profit is synonymous with exploitation as you do, we definitely part company there. Having a higher output than input when providing a good or service aligns the incentives to continue to provide that good or service in a valuable and consistent manner. If that is a hallmark of capitalism then I would say that is one objectively positive aspect.
We can go on and on, ultimately we’d be talking in circles. To me, it’s all a moot issue if the money is broken, money is the foundation of the incentive to provide anything of value to the world outside of your immediate tribe. In complex systems we need a medium of exchange that fairly represents value.
If one of your contentions is that capitalism itself is the cause of the fiat system I would disagree as fiat is dependent on the power of centralization and authority, hallmarks of collectivism and communism. The capitalist ideal is that the people/market decides on what the best monetary good(s) will be, not a central/collective few.

A lot to discuss. A few things…we disagree on the fundamental risk profiles of being an entrepreneur and being an employee. An employee has options if they lose their job. It’s at-will employment, they will find another job if they don’t feel appreciated or compensated enough. Employers will replace employees if they feel they are entitled and not bringing enough value to a business, that’s the beauty of autonomy.
I wasn’t intending to describe a “boss” mentality. I work alongside plenty with my crew. My work is usually much different than theirs, however. Our employees are good tradesmen, not good estimators, salesmen, or accountants, etc. The difference in roles automatically creates a dichotomy. I pursue the projects, submit to try to win them, coordinate everything in between in order to provide work for our people to do their job and earn their living.
If something goes wrong, I get the call, not them. If there’s an emergency, I represent the business, not my employees. They don’t want that stress, they don’t want the responsibility. There are perfectly good reasons that more people work for someone rather than starting a business of their own.
Paying off a house is a contractual transaction. You and a bank agree to terms beforehand. A house is a static economic good, a business is dynamic. They aren’t comparable in the sense you described.
A business of your own is indeed an investment. Profits are simply the way to realize a return on your original investment, usually reinvestment is what occurs if one is trying to build/scale the business. Reinvestment manifests in many different ways, profit-sharing being one of them.
Most of the great luxuries we enjoy today by way of goods, services, and inventions exist within the context of capitalism. I’m sure we disagree there.
I wouldn’t ever claim 100% credit for a successful business, obviously. It takes many different people and skills to build and scale a successful business model, and then a little luck on top of that. What is interesting is that this tiny little niche of a business would nonetheless not exist if it wasn’t for the work and risk I put forth and continue to put forth. Fact is, if I go under tomorrow (for any reason), my crew will have new jobs at a new company within days while I’m left picking up the pieces.
I know I didn’t directly address everything you mentioned. Just a few of my immediate thoughts about it. I’m not trying to defend anything, or even be right about anything in particular. It’s simply my belief that capitalism and free market (no mandates, quotas, price controls, wage controls, etc.) autonomy provides the best economic incentive structures for a prosperous economy IF the money is sound. Without sound money, we get the rot and decay that we see in developed countries these days. My opinion is that you are conflating capitalism with corrupted money and that the issues you’ve identified as being products of capitalism are indeed products of the fiat currency system.

I learned a valuable trade, starting at a young age. Learned it quickly and efficiently. Traveled the world applying my skills. Did it hands on for 18 years. Started my own business built on my knowledge and experience in that trade. I own and operate my small business with a partner and we employ 4 other people.
We pay those employees for their skills, labor, and time. We pay our suppliers and other overhead costs. As a partner in a business I get a chunk of whatever is left after a project or at the end of a quarter or end of the year for myself and my family, if we did a proper job as a team.
I took the risk to organize and set up the business, paid the upfront costs, spent 18 years building my skills and knowledge, exposed myself professionally and financially to attempt to create profitable business. Our employees are well paid and well taken care of. They are completely risk-off in the equation. They go to work, then go home with not a care in the world about what happens after-hours. Meanwhile, on the backend I’m constantly hustling on the business aspect. Just for the chance to earn a little bit of profit for the business and possibly myself.
Do you, with your worldview, see some issue with this scenario? Genuinely wondering what The socialist take would be here…

I run a knots node, and that’s great. I can configure my defaults as I wish. The issue is core v30 exists and nodes running it comprise about 12% of the total nodes talking on the network at the moment, about 2,900 nodes.
These nodes, because of v30 updates, will ultimately be relaying transactions that could include large amounts of arbitrary (possibly illegal or malicious) data via OP_Return to one another’s mempools.
If these transactions get mined into a block, it will remain on-chain forever. Then every other node on the network will have to store that block (and its contents) as well. Doesn’t matter which node software or defaults you have for your node.
That is the most condensed way I could put it..It affects the entire network if large amounts of arbitrary data regularly finds its way onto the blockchain, which core v30 not only makes likely, but basically encourages. Who knows what data/spam will be used to exploit this, time will tell.
Unfortunately, the entire #bitcoin network is now vulnerable to an attack vector that never needed to exist.

It’s likely that SOMEONE has SOMETHING or can produce SOMETHING that you as an individual need or desire. The beauty of sound money operating in a free market is that you can rightly pursue that with your own efforts and talents, you don’t need to take it from anyone.
When I say “free market” I’m referring to a free market economy; rational human behavior under the influence of scarcity and trade-offs (not influenced by policy or threats) by way of exchanging goods and services with one another. Not anarchism, just to clarify.
Human beings are very good at properly orienting themselves when they live in societies/communities with a sound moral incentive structure, a sense of justice, and the expectation that the fruits of their labor won’t be unjustly seized or confiscated.
They’re very bad at orienting themselves when they have no way to save or plan for the future, have no expectation of justice or property rights, and when the moral incentives are skewed to favor the greedy and corrupt.
Some of the greatest human prosperity, achievements, and innovations have occurred during eras of human history when sound/hard money was being widely utilized. I believe it would solve the issues we are discussing. There is precedent for it.

2025-11-09 20:41:37 UTC

- reply

The umbrella issue is human nature. It’s in our nature to hoard, to plan, to prepare for bad times or bad weather. This becomes greed when one has enough resources to continue accumulation, it’s difficult to stop.
It’s also in our nature to be covetous of what others have accumulated, because we want it for the same reasons they accumulated it. In complex systems like modern economies these behaviors manifest themselves in the obvious ways that we see.
There are those that have accumulated far more than they will ever need for one lifetime, and those that are covetous of that because they don’t have anything to sustain their own life. Greed will never be eliminated from the human condition, neither will envy.
I believe sound, neutral money brings those two conditions in to balance naturally and without any central or collective planning because there are natural limitations to the money supply and an equilibrium of incentives can be achieved.
Simply put, free markets with sound money would result in the best of all systems, it would incentivize work and innovation, saving and planning for the future, preservation of property rights, and greedy/corrupt participants or endeavors would naturally get exposed and punished to the extent it would disincentivize that behavior.
Keep in mind that this is simply my opinion and I’m just some dumb fucking guy trying to make sense of what I observe. I’m not looking for a fight or anything.

2025-11-09 16:20:38 UTC

Nice, I’ll check these out. I’m of the opinion that capitalism and socialism/communism both fail in practice and concentrate power at the top because the incentive structures are ultimately corrupted by the control of the money. If the money itself isn’t free and neutral, societal incentives in any system cannot align for the benefit of the majority.
The Lords of Easy Money is a solid read…I don’t think any system can be properly or fairly implemented without a sound, neutral, decentralized money first.

I did recommend some. I’ve read some economic and historical books but nothing specifically advocating for the benefits or positives of communism/socialism tbh.
Everything I’m aware of references events such as the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine in the early 1930s, for example, as a caution against collectivism policies/economics.
I was just wondering if there was some other version or definition of communism/socialism I could look into as it’s difficult to find books that historically defend those ideas.

#Bitcoin is suppose to be a superior monetary network to the fiat shit show people have had to endure for centuries. It gets opened up to be a polluted dumping ground for any digital sludge to be stored on the network forever and people just carry on with “21 million forever.”
Aren’t bitcoiners low time preference minded? #Bitcoin is supposed to be the people’s MONEY for centuries.
The implications for massive OP_return data to be passed around and mined into permanence are far reaching and now a threat forever, not just today, tomorrow, or next week.
This update was contentious, rushed, ill advised, suspicious, and completely unnecessary. It’s only a matter of time before someone somewhere exploits it and then what? “21 million forever” doesn’t mean shit when it coexists on the same blockchain as illicit material.

#Bitcoin has a stock-to-flow schedule that gold can’t compete with. Bitcoin is absolutely scarce, gold is relatively scarce. Gold has physical limitations as money, bitcoin does not. Gold will always centralize if it’s recognized as money, bitcoin (in theory) doesn’t.

What’s interesting is in the US and EU for example, there has been a settling into the worst of all doctrines. They have privatized the fruits of capitalism to a very few, and socialized the risks and losses to the rest.
All while implementing central/government planning and state control over some of the most important free market industries (agriculture, healthcare, housing, transportation, infrastructure, energy, etc.). The overarching problem is that there must be a free market for money as well, which has also been co-opted by central/federal governments and banks. Without a truly free market for money, nothing works. There will always just be those nearest the money printer, and then everyone else.

#Bitcoin is both a network and a currency. Within the #bitcoin network and its parameters, sovereign individuals may move #bitcoin the currency to and from as they wish.
That’s it. The network keeps a ledger of all of the currency units within. The currency has all of the imperative characteristics of sound money. The network has all of the imperatives for a secure and decentralized means of transacting with the currency. It’s beautiful and poetic.
To advocate for any other unnecessary data (besides a minuscule amount for timestamps of a transaction) to be stored in the network is to misunderstand what #bitcoin is, and represents. It is fundamental that we maintain the integrity of the network, so the currency maintains its value. If the network becomes flawed/compromised, the currency becomes useless.

Mempool node policy is extremely important for private node runners as good mempool hygiene (filters) reduces the transactional burden on the node, and by extension the #bitcoin network.
Nodes are to remain simple with very low overhead in order to assure that there are more numerous voluntary node operators world wide. Keeping the network decentralized.
Filters do work at the node level, your little bullshit transaction ended up in the time chain, sure. But nodes with good policy didn’t have to relay it to each other, thus increasing the burden to operate them.
Additionally, the more spam like this that ends up needing storage on the time chain, the more memory will be required over time, increasing the burden on nodes even more. When individuals stop running nodes because of this and it’s left to the big cloud and server farms, #bitcoin losses. Why tf can’t people see this shit, it’s baffling.

#Bitcoin gives autonomy, dignity, and sovereignty back to the individual.

People aren’t taking this shit seriously enough. This is a very urgent issue facing #bitcoin . I’ve been posting about this like a Karen for the past couple weeks and there is virtually no response…very concerning.

2025-09-07 03:16:11 UTC

A nice simple 5 minute video for those of you who give af about #bitcoin and the #bitcoin network.
If people allow #core to blow out the OP_Return data limit to 100kb then expect the deepest red candles from hell and a network that ends up with CP on its blockchain. It happened to BSV in the exact same way, so don’t say it can’t or won’t happen, there is already precedence.
State level actors would love nothing more than to desecrate the #bitcoin time chain with something like CP. 100kb of data allows for this kind of nasty shit to be propagated throughout the network.
Run #knots on your own full node. I’ll be saying this until #core 30 comes out. We’ll see how it all shakes out but this is a serious and fucked up issue.
Get your shit together and run a #knots node!

If you have any amount of your time and value parked into #bitcoin , you need to watch this video and act. This OP_Return shit that core devs are trying to pull has the potential to nuke #bitcoin as we know it.
I’ve been HODLing #bitcoin for many years but this shit presents very serious issues for my conviction in the #bitcoin network if #knots doesn’t overtake #core very soon.
100kb is enough space for the most heinous and unspeakable images, video, or audio to be immutably recorded onto the most pristine blockchain on earth. If we, as the #bitcoin community allow this to happen because people are too lazy and complacent to spin up a node and run #knots , then we never deserved #bitcoin at all.
This attack vector is sneaky and it could be detrimental, don’t just think everything will be fine…run #knots
and rise to the occasion. It will require all of us.

So you stack sats, eh? Do you run a full node or nah?

2025-09-04 17:16:47 UTC

The “ #bitcoin will be fine,” and “ #bitcoin will win,” and “ #bitcoin doesn’t care” attitudes towards the #knots vs #core debate is getting aggravating to say the least…
If you think that the most robust, most secure, most decentralized, and trustless monetary network that directly threatens the power and relevancy of the global fiat cabal doesn’t require diligence and guardianship from us, the people, you’re simply wrong.
Run your own node, be sovereign, run #knots .
This is not a drill, this is not alarmist, we are in the “then they fight you” stage right now and this is the battle line. Get real about who and what we bitcoiners are fighting against.
They identified centralization in the node software we were all using ( #core )and it’s being manipulated to subvert the ideals and principles of the #bitcoin network that we all HODL for. If you haven’t already, familiarize yourself with the issue and get proactive and run your own node, and ffs, run #knots NOT rotten #core.

How to run a full node using bitcoin knots.

I firmly disagree. Bitcoin core and its devs have been recognized as an attack vector by bad actors. They are making node implementation software updates that neuter VERY important configurability features for node runners. This is not a ho-hum subject, it’s truly urgent to employ knots over core for your bitcoin full node.
To say otherwise is to either not understand the issue, or to support the sabotage of node sovereignty and by extension the bitcoin network.

2025-09-02 01:16:14 UTC

CALL TO ACTION:
I hope everyone here on #nostr recognizes the importance of operating your own #bitcoin full node.
It’s getting more and more dire to run a node using #knots and not #core.
#bitcoin is the best money mankind has ever devised and it is (and always will be) up to us plebs to protect it.
Bitcoin core devs are state captured, they do not have our interest in mind. They are proposing to increase the OP_Return data limit from ~83 bytes to 100KB. This is a massive concern for anyone using the #bitcoin network to store value and/or utilize as a sovereign monetary peer-to-peer network.
The state will not relinquish control over the fiat hamster wheel easily, and it seems they have found an attack vector via the centralized software implementation of bitcoin core for individual node runners.
There was nothing wrong with bitcoin core until somewhat recently, but the devs have been compromised and are now making filter changes (not consensus rule changes, the filter configuration changes they are making don’t require a hard or soft fork) that have the potential to destroy private bitcoin nodes. Without nodes, there is no decentralization.
There are plenty of resources to get a node set up using knots. Run a node, use bitcoin knots, stack sats, stay free.

When I discover in conversation that someone hodl’s #bitcoin I immediately gain respect for that individual.
It indicates to me that you have self-respect, critical-thinking, patience, intelligence, humility, perspective, confidence, knowledge, and that we have an endless array of topics that we can discuss.
If the contents of further discussions changed my interpretation, so be it…
Stack and hodl #bitcoin either way, even (especially) if you’re a douche. The corn will change you for the better in due time.

2025-07-30 23:54:56 UTC

When fiat currencies inevitably collapse (and they will), no amount will be exchanged for #bitcoin. It would be like trading your labor for raw sewage…
That would effectively bring the price of #bitcoin to zero in every central bank denominated currency.
So the higher the #bitcoin price goes in fiat, the closer it gets to zero in fiat... Right? 🤨🤔
So, I suppose #bitcoin really is going to zero 😏
Better stack sats before the crash, folks.

The only investment better than #bitcoin is physical health.
Maintaining and improving the health of the body you occupy will yield the greatest returns in the long term.
Stack sats and exercise.

Well I finally sold all of my #bitcoin and took the profits and bought #eth , #xrp , #sol , and #ada . I’m keeping it all on the exchange of course.
I also had enough left to buy a #gold etf, an s&p 500 index fund, and of course a shit ton of different treasury bonds.
Then I took the rest and put it in a CD savings account where they will pay me .05% on it! 🫠🫠🫠

What would incentivize anyone (individual or company) to do any work and/or provide any goods and services if they don’t receive more input than output (i.e. profit)?
People don’t grow crops and perform surgeries to “break even.” People want to be compensated for their time, skills, and services beyond their “cost basis.”

I explicitly said I wanted to know your economic ideals before we went further into the capitalism discussion. Your previous response made absolutely no sense…something about life essentials and cost basis. What are you saying?
Capitalism aligns the incentives, why should fresh drinking water be free in a country of 350 million people?
Routing the water has a cost, treating the water has a cost, installing drainage and sewage systems has a cost etc. Those who provide these services don’t deserve a profit? Is that what you’re saying?

I’d be happy to explore this more with you, but first I’d like to know what ground you’re standing on…What is your ideal economic system for a country of say, 350 million people? I just want to get an idea of your stance, if you remove capitalism completely, it will need a replacement…what say you?

There is a distinction between capitalism and crony capitalism…capitalism works well in a sound money economy, it’s far and away the most efficient and fair economic system.
Crony capitalism occurs in an unsound monetary environment as there are groups and individuals (central banks, politicians, insiders, etc.) who ultimately benefit more than the vast majority of other economic participants because they have centralized control and/or knowledge of the currency system. They often manipulate it to their advantage, at everyone else’s expense.
We are currently living in a crony capitalist system in most of the developed world, which is why most people in the developed want to decry capitalism as they have not made the distinction between the two different systems.

#Bitcoin coming to dominate tradfi is such a beautiful thing to witness.
Exposing the pompous “wealth management” and “financial planning” snakes more and more clearly for the leeches they are.
The need for someone to provide a service like “wealth preservation” vanishes in a sound monetary system.
HODL is the model.

Women aren’t protectors/providers by their nature. Men by nature gravitate towards effective and logical methods of providing and protecting for themselves and their families. #Bitcoin is one of the most logical ways for men to fortify the financial position of himself and his family.
Women are much more appealed to nurturing and empathy towards their family and don’t typically pursue the logical and calculating aspects of caring for themselves and their family, as men typically do.
There are other reasons, but I believe this is the main driver of this trend.

When the #bitcoin price in fiat is dumping heavily or ripping hard, it really does just feel like noise. I get disoriented and forget what the numbers even mean.
I start to detach from the meaning of the “price” and just fuckin empty the fiat bucket into my #bitcoin fortress as much as possible either way.
#bitcoin will long outlive the fickle fiat currencies of today.
