I have been waiting for this movement to gain enough momentum to see people debunk it. I've met a number of these people IRL and they come off as deranged, but I appreciated the dedication.
At the same time I have a deeply held belief that there are no solutions in the game, only in walking away from it. I'm not going to fill out paperwork to take back sovereignty I never lost.

2026-05-26 17:56:44 CEST

I am currently re-listening to this book about the Weimar inflation between WW1 and WW2, originally published in 1975. A few thoughts are posted below. https://blossom.primal.net/cbca0f41744d82c40bbd1c0d99b9e7be7873bfb497cc57678b4f31722c2eb5c4.jpg
I find this book important to help in comparing and contrasting the current economic reality with that of another industralized nation with inflationary monetary conditons.
Just as with patients in a hospital, economic conditions on a national scale are never exactly the same, but certain mathematical conditions remain the same.
Some key differences:
Germany was suddenly strapped with an unbelievable debt burden by hostile nations, some of which wanted reperations, others wanted revenge, and some wanted absolute destruction. The globized economy today functions very differently in terms of interdependency, which was the objective of Bretton Woods.
The only currencies available in Germany at the time were paper notes and ledger entries of debt. As expected, this turned nearly everything into money, from company shares to fine furniture, but hard money (gold) won in the end.
One of the biggest contibuting factors to the sovereign collapse was the government's inability to manage tax collection. A state with better controls on taxes could feasibly survive much longer.
For all the hyperbolic rhetoric around the dollar failing or the fed being stuck in an impossible situation (which they are, but over a longer timeframe) the scenario described in this book clearly illustrates that the US is not experiencing a hyperinflationary event (yet).
Reading this book provides some insights and indicators into the more extreme examples of people under inflationary incentives, some of which are manifesting now, but at lower intensity.
Those who study bitcoin know the scenario could change in a short period of time, but it is worth noting that the government and the fed still have many cards that haven't been played and more being invented on the fly as technology advances (namely stablecoins). It's best to prepare for a long drawn-out process rather than trying to maximize benefit by taking out large debt burdens, for example.
Conclusions:
At the moment it seems the "dollar milkshake, then bitcoin milkshake" theory is still the most likely. Depending upon geopolitical movements, the US could trivially continue to bolster the dollar by forcing private enterprise to prop up the bond market and/or by outsourcing inflation to lesser fiat currencies.
This may afford the system with a greater ability to decline gradually rather than rapidly, but the working class of the world will be footing the bill in either scenario.
All I can do now is continue to educate those who wish to learn and focus on building parallel systems for the transition. As terrible as the current monetary regime is, a catastophic failure would be worse (Mandibles vibes). The fed's attempts to survive will give bitcoin, and bitcoiners, the necessary time to mature.

I agree with everything here and would add a few points on the slow adoption. I think Elon buying X and ostensibly removing sensorship was a huge headwind for nostr.
You're exactly right. People learned to use computers because they were useful. Right now I'm not sure exaclty what the value proposition is for nostr beyond freedom tech and dev networking.
Those are huge use cases to me personally and I think they'll accelerate the development of the platform as well as adjacent projects, but a majority of the population needs one of two conditions to join.
1. UX is better than legacy options
2. Legacy sites get so shitty that people leave en masse
I have a feeling both conditions will be met around the same time.
I also think NGU will help.

Thanks for asking. I was really enjoying how smooth the UX experience was on @nprofile…kfsj though it has less features, but I have primarily used amethyst for years.
My main issue as a user is simple because I am not that technical.
I have no idea how relays work and don't want to touch the settings, but I would like for profile pictures and posts to show up consistently. I would like to press one or two buttons to get set up on relays (including the payment process if paid relays are necessary)

Ah yes. I'd be glad to. Wisp is designed for normies and the dev running it decided to remove amber support, which means I'd have to use my private key (nsec) to sign in.
When I updated the app it logged me out and so I am using a different client because amber provides some protection for my nsec by allowing me to manage permissions.
