I think this is the beginning of multipolarity where the US dollarises a bunch of allies and has a smaller sphere but with greater control over economics and security and hopes they can do what theyāre best at - spying, intel, colour revolutions etc. - to disrupt the formation of the other pole.
Likely it just ends up a mess and we have a dollar curtain where the US completely dominates their sphere and the other sphere goes on as sovereigns cooperating rather than being vassals to China.
Been a while since I wrote about the rise of BRICS but I expect thatās going to come to the fore again now.

But dollarydoos are not the global reserve currency - your US dollars are.
You can either maintain dollar hegemony (as Trump has insisted he wants), or you can reshore manufacturing (which Trump also insists he wants) - but you canāt do both.
Unfortunately for the world I think youāre going to dollarise allies and create a new shitty new empire of nations who will enable a Frankenstein model where the US tries to do both at ever increasing expense to the vassal states.
Itās going to be awful for everyone involved, and those on the other side of the new dollar curtain will be better off than those inside.

WHAT COMES AFTER FIAT?
Last year I watched this Murray Rothbard speech given shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union: https://youtu.be/KWdUIuID8ag
He makes the point that for the decades of talk by academics and think tanks and policy institutes, pretty much no-one had paid any real mind to the question āwhat comes next?ā If you could wave a magic wand and make your ideological enemy collapse tomorrow, or they hand you the keys and surrender, what do you do?
Iāve thought a lot about this in the context of fiat but have noticed that very few Bitcoiners talk about it.
Itās all just assumptions that status quo nation states (the source of all fiat) adopt our economic system and..
And then, what?
Are those parasites going to magically stop being fiat?
Are the bureaucrat class just going to resign and enter productive industry?
The MIC is just going to stop hankering for wars? Israel is just going to start playing nice? Spooks are going to stop overthrowing foes? Pharma is going to stop poisoning people? The mass immigrants are just going to go home?
And what of Bitcoiners and their families, how are they going to handle this new found generational wealth? Are we bringing back primogeniture? Are we going to start arranging marriages of children? Are we going to fund pogroms to exterminate the parasites? Are we going to lobby the power centre, or take it over?
As positive a future as Bitcoin could enable, this needs some influence to take the shape we would want to see or I can tell you the answer to what comes after fiat:
Fiat 2.0, backed by Bitcoin.
Iām not interested in another spin on that merry-go-round and if youāre not either, I hope youāll join me in beginning to discuss these ideas.

He has been talking about tariffs for a year, and has finally implemented them but if they donāt work out as he expects, do you really think heās going to admit that and change course?

Once the government is banning knives, itās all over.
When it is considered good governance to ban sharp objects, and the opposition is so weak (or more likely, in agreement with the incumbents) to stop it - your country is gone.
No-one is going to run on a platform of āwe will unban knivesā knowing that a single incident will be put upon them by the M5M and their opposites which is all they care about.
Itās not going to happen, the problems wonāt disappear but that doesnāt matter - itās not getting undone and now you canāt even carry the most basic of self-defence making you entirely reliant for protection on the system of idiots who screwed it up in the first place.
We are beyond āreformā at this point. The system is cooked and itās gotta go.

25 books in 2025 was my goal for #bookstr. I had a fully planned and oversubscribed list coming into the new year but something in the aether told me to put this one to the top and all I can say is it was the best decision.
Critical Path was Buckminster Fullerās magnum opus, written when he was 85, itās seemingly the writings of a time-travelling Bitcoiner and the most important thing Iāve read in more than a decade.
A compilation of his ideas and concepts spanning 50 years of work, his completely unique philosophy, an optimism our world today sorely lacks, and a full outline of his view for progressing humanity by doing more with less based on material science.
@Gigi recently mentioned we were promised flying cars and I noted millenials and younger werenāt promised shit.
Well Fuller in his day promised much more, designed it, prototyped it, built what he could and told fantastic tales which could align people to progress along his futuristic way - we need Buckminster Fuller in 2025!
A few Bitcoiners have posted clips of him discussing energy and a single global accounting system (see images) going back to 1967 but Iāve not seen any review this book.
Itās simply phenomenal. I canāt attest to the veracity of all of it, I will have to dig some rabbitholes and definitely re-read it again in a year but if even 30% holds up then every Bitcoiner ought read it for that alone.
Fuller articulates a worldview where humanity stops fucking around, stops letting parasites control things, focusses on sharing the most important information to build the best technologies to do more with less and raise QoL standards for all.
@ODELL managed to meme Mandibles to the fore for Bitcoiners - if ever there was a book all Bitcoiners should read; THIS IS IT.
You wonāt agree with all of it, the terminology may be a bit dated, but you will be interested throughout and amazed at his foresight 45 years ago, and hopefully motivated as I am that you too can just do things like Bucky the OG did and the world can change for the better.

It was huge news in Aus. In the 90s we had a real Republican movement with serious ppl involved and they got a referendum to become independent which failed - the monarchy had a lot of strength amongst Aussies back then.
We only had 2 TV channels back then and her funeral procession was on both. It was on every news bulletin and in all the papers and magazines. I remember finding it all weird even as a kid.
Her death and Kurt Cobainās in the 90s had big impact in Aus. Hers on the oldies and Kurtās on the younguns.

Earn more income rather than cutting more costs is peddled by the influencoor class.
On net theyāre right that earning more is preferable and easier than cutting, however youāre more right that actual analysis of the fiat treadmill means itās pretty pointless unless you can get yourself OFF the treadmill entirely, but theyāre not advocating for that. Yet..

Had mine for 8 years now and theyāre still great quality sound.
But what the fuck have they done with the software? I had to re-setup in my new place recently and instead of just connecting to a new wifi network I had 2 apps and had to factory reset the whole thing to get it working again.
Donāt know how they screwed up the user experience that bad.

When to leave is a very personal decision, but being ready and having your plans in place is important for everyone to do.
You do not want to be scrambling when everyone is rushing for the exits, you want to be walking through the airport unbothered *before* shit hits the fan.

View from an irregular Nostr user (myself):
Disclaimer:
As things change on here by the week, as a "non-power user" one is certainly quickly falling behind, so the following statement might be already outdated.
With that said:
While Primal seems to have - currently - the best UX ( you can read most notes and loading times are fast - which is not necessarily true for some other interfaces such as Snort or Iris)... when it comes to "ZAP"ping, it seems that it simply is not possible if you follow standard Bitcoin security practices.
https://m.primal.net/PmiJ.png w
As in:
You never (as in: NEVER!) have the ability to sign transactions on the same device that you use to browse the Internet.
Currently - it seems - "zap"ping on Primal requires either the Primal Wallet/App ( I use a Browser and keep any apps on my phones to an absolute minimum - hence not an option ) and or NWC... which also requires signing capability on the same device that you use to browse the Internet.
On some of the other Nostr clients it is possible to zap from a different device - you can press the "zap" button, obtain a QR code/Lightning invoice... and then simply scan the QR code from a separate dedicated device connected to a dedicated node.
Browsing and transaction signing capabilities clearly separated.
Currently Primal makes it easy if you are fine to ignore these iron security rules - but also leads to more Sats being held in a closed ecosystem/custodial where... it is absolutely not necessary (imho).
The current way the Zap mode on Primal is provided is not interoperable with any other Lightning wallet (and/or node!) - it requires you to have Sats on your Primal Wallet and/or NWC... on the same device that you use to browse the Internet.
Some (most?) people might just not care, but it's currently the "main blocker" in my personal Primal UX.
I do not want to install an app.
I do not want to install a Browser extension.
Kim Jong Un wants me to press the button - and I do not want to press it.
Yes, it is paranoid.
But as the old saying goes:
"Only the paranoid survive".
Or the recent beautiful iteration of it by nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgpdnpemykljmknpg95y63x4adm27k03vaug5k8rvw43vu07lm587gxwls58 :
"Systems that heavily rely on trust have the best UX until they have the worst UX."
Currently on Primal, if I want to zap someone - I need to load the note via a different interface... and hope, that I can even load the note.
At which point - unless I really, really want to zap the person - the drop-off rate increases drastically and the Zap will not take place.
With that said:
All of this might have already been solved at the time of writing - and I just haven't discovered yet how to do so.
If so, feel free to call me out as a noob'ish Nostr laggard - and lmk how to zap on Primal from a different device than the one used to browse the internet.

To some degree yes, but in choosing the easiest to manipulate and indoctrinate they opted for soft power which can never win in the long run against hard.

I think his point was that just smashing through books to brag youāve read X books is pointless, you donāt retain or absorb the information or follow the loose threads to fully comprehend what youāve read.
Iām aiming for 25 this year and so far am on track but can already tell that will be a stretch to fully absorb that many.
And yeah thereās a lot of useless books, including in #Bitcoin now, but then occasionally you come across a gem as I have right now - one of those right books with the right content at the right time that happens a few times in life and gets you really juiced for it.
