Today was a hard day, however, i understand your points. (barely got this post written)
I just do not know how to discuss helpful strategies because it becomes a mesh of possibilities really quickly.
I do not know when flying cars hit the scene.
And shouldn't bitcoin have squashed the central banks by now?
What the bleep happens if doge coin is the future?
And i totally had Tuesday pencilled in for rebuilding projects.
They're here now. If I could send video I would send you a video of a quad surfcopter cruising through traffic. It's not a car as much as a surfboard that flies, but clearly only needs a carriage and doors to be a flying car.
BTC only exists by permission of the central banks' owners. They own the series of pipes through which all information flows. @edicted described his cold wallet as a key that enables the BTC to be accessed. The pipes are the keyhole. They control access to BTC just as much as the wallet and the exchange. All cryptos are exactly the same in this regard. Monero and Doge aren't permissionless at all. They are utterly dependent on the keyhole through which they can be unlocked, and that keyhole is the internet.
Better early than late IMHO. It's a lot easier to dogpaddle over a tsunami once you're wet than it is to jump in while the wave's breaking ashore.
I am struggling of late. It's very difficult for me to pierce through the obstructions between my understanding and the post button because pain is the mindkiller, not fear. Fear is my buddy. I am really grateful to fear because it keeps me on my toes, keeps me alert, creates crystal clear views of danger threatening. But pain hides everything, smothers it with screeching brilliantly lambent torment that greedily sucks all thought into a vortex of monotonous agony that lets no darkness through. Without shadows, bright insight becomes void of detail no less than stygian abyss.
All my resolve has become without purpose, because the signals of import are subsumed by the writhing fists of eels in my gut. If this keeps up I'll be head-banging a shopping cart while I argue with myself over my preferred pronouns in a week.
Just use the plod method. Put one foot down and clearly describe that footstep. Then plop the next step down, rinse, and repeat. That creates a path that can be followed simply, and that's what we need in vortices of hazards coming from all directions. Simple paths we can simply follow. Since we need to produce the blessings of civilization that are being used to bait all the traps we are set, the basal means of production underlying manufacturing in a decentralized economy is a good place to start: 3D printing. With filament, paste, and inkjet printheads, there's almost no piece of hardware that cannot be manufactured today. The launch of Terran 1 was the best point at which to demarcate the Exocene from the history of the world. The first 3D printed spaceship left Earth. That is the real beginning of human history. Now we begin to ourselves seize the illimitable resources we will create inconceivable wealth in absolute freedom with in perpetuity.
The care and feeding of a 3D printer that can do all three is fundamentally the threshold between dependence on overlords and absolute freedom to sustain civil society at will.
