In hindsight, wasn’t Taproot a hostile fork?
1. Over 5 years later, hardly anyone uses it, except spammers. No major product market fit yet.
2. It was a “nice to have”, wasn’t a response to a threat (debatably like segwit was).
3. It ratcheted up the spam problem, which creates another problem now with another possible fork.
If you supported Taproot, then what did you get wrong, such that you supported a hostile fork? Do you apologize?
Before you get to anything else, it thinks it’s important that you ask yourself those two questions, then reflect on the answers.

Fake and gay indeed. Part of the Conclusion:
“This architecture delivers powerful short-term stability. Mortgage rates remain lower than they otherwise would be. Investors treat agency MBS as near-sovereign assets. During downturns, scheduled principal and interest payments continue flowing to investors even when borrowers default, reducing forced selling and systemic panic.
But stability is achieved through structural leverage.
Mortgage lending creates bank deposits — expanding the money supply at origination. Federal guarantees reduce funding costs and suppress risk premiums, encouraging greater credit expansion than a fully private market would likely sustain. Over time, this contributes to higher home prices, higher household leverage, and greater sensitivity to rate cycles.
The system reduces the frequency of collapse while increasing the scale of public exposure. It converts episodic private losses into managed public absorption. That tradeoff may be rational, but it is not neutral. The system does not eliminate risk, it reallocates it through layered public backstops.”

Eric’s ties to Thiel looking ever worse. A loser for crashing out on Bitcoin. I still like Bret because he was so right on the vaxx and was severely punished for it. He refuses to let the vaxx crime die and highlights new evil medical interventions. So he still has integrity. He’s susceptible to the propaganda machine just like everyone else and it’s possible Epstein wasn’t that bright, just charisma maxxed. Still very frustrating that Bret doesn’t care about Bitcoin/freedom tech and anarcho capitalism because he’s so close but won’t take the leap.

“Epstein wasn’t that smart” smells like a psyop. I keep seeing it.
Could be a way for poors to cope with his wealth.
Could also be awfully convenient for some: “Epstein wasn’t that smart; therefore, he couldn’t have run a (child) sex trafficking and blackmail ring.”

I have to apologize (personally to @npub1ghc…ygat ) for oversimplifying how mortgage backed security (MBS) “ownership” works. In light of the realization that I oversimplified, I decided to do a deep dive and write a research paper on the US mortgage market and how the US government intervenes in it.
TLDR: My main point still stands: government intervention in the ~$13.1T US single family mortgage market is extreme and worth taking note of. ~70.61% ($9.3T) of the mortgage market carries a government-linked, credit-risk guarantee, AKA taxpayers. The Federal Reserve also owns roughly ~15% (~$2T) of the market, whose credit risk is backed by taxpayers (and included in the ~70.61% ($9.3T)).
I probably won’t post the whole research paper anywhere, but this high level summary below should give some understanding of how the market works. Questions and corrections welcome.
After mortgages are originated, there are two types of entities: owners and guarantors. In the approximately ~$13.1 trillion U.S. single family mortgage market, the typical owner of a mortgage-backed security earns the interest payments and bears interest-rate risk, prepayment/extension risk, and liquidity risk — meaning the asset’s value fluctuates as rates move or borrowers refinance. (Private label MBS and unsecuritized whole loans, ~29% of mortgages (~$3.87T), bear those three risks PLUS credit risk. AKA a free market)
The guarantor, by contrast, bears the credit risk — the risk that borrowers default and liquidation does not fully repay principal. ~70.61% ($9.3T) of the mortgage market carries a government-linked, credit-risk guarantee: roughly 50% via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (implicit) and about 21% via Ginnie Mae (explicit).
The Federal Reserve also owns roughly ~15% ($2T) of the total market. While the Fed holds the interest-rate, prepayment/extension, and liquidity risks on those securities, it does not bear the borrower credit risk. That credit risk is insured by the issuing agencies — either Ginnie Mae (explicit full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury) or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (implicit Treasury backstop through conservatorship).
In simple terms, owners absorb market volatility, while the guarantors absorb borrower default losses. 29% remains outside federal credit protection through private-label securities and bank-held whole loans.

I tried listening to Dalio’s latest piece and only lasted 15 minutes. It was too cringe. Every few sentences there was something so banal that he tried to make profound. Thinkboi word salad. Giving himself layups.
I found myself constantly saying “that’s a reach.” “Says who?” “Press X to doubt.”
I’ve long said that Ray’s cognition isn’t what it used to be and he needs to retire. The fact that he *still* doesn’t get Bitcoin, even though Ray’s earlier work helped a lot us see Bitcoin 🙋‍♂️, is further proof that he needs to quit the game.

NGU as part of our thesis is in the absolute gutter right now.
Nobody gives a shit about freedom money. If they do, they’re clearly buying gold and silver instead.
Payments? “My card works flawlessly every time, why would I ever switch?” Stablecoins are being shoved down everyone’s throats.
Nobody gives a shit or has time to care about the properties of money and credit. “Ludwig von who? Menger? Sounds fake and gay. I’m yoloing into more Palantir and Elon stonks because they get unlimited military funding now.”
They won’t care until they have to, until rule of law starts breaking down in the west, US states secede, assets start getting seized in size, and inflation becomes too farcical to even pretend to ignore.
I’m not selling for any fake fiat assets. Maybe in a few decades when the demonetization is over and equities holders are suicidal with PE’s in the low single digits. For now, hodling Bitcoin isn’t and doesn’t have to be a “trade” - no, hodling is a moral imperative to starve the State, which will ultimately usher in a more humane and fair world than governments have made before.

Yes, that is another point. Many of the (sometimes subtle) things we rely on government for now, will have to be accounted for by insurance. You’re already paying for them indirectly (taxes) right now, but without government, the costs will be lower because of competition and decentralized (rather than top down) economic calculation.

2026-02-17 17:43:30 CET

- reply

I used to think this, until I realized that insurance has to be a critical part of an AnCap society and it only seems fiat because of the currently extreme government involvement in the insurance market.
Without government, premiums would be much lower once government intervention is removed from say, healthcare and housing. Insurance costs are artificially high because of: burdensome regulations (limited competition, paperwork, middlemen), distorted asset prices (houses, mortgage market, money printing), direct government subsidy and corruption (Medicare, Medicaid), artificial restriction of healthcare providers (medical schools), etc.
Direct payment and V4V would definitely grow as a % share of the activity, relative to insurance, because again, all costs would be lower without government, making those models more attractive to some people.
