LFG

When the value of money is determined by a politically headed body, the world surrenders to bureaucracy. When the value of money is determined by the optimisation of energy, code and the free market, the world becomes enlightened. Stack Bitcoin.

WHY CRYPTO RAILS WILL TAKE OVER: The birth of every phenomenon is met with skepticism, disbelief and even hatred. Virtually any new technology that made the world better attracts this reaction for one reason, they are polarizing. This was the case with the internet, and we are seeing a recurring theme with newer technologies like blockchain and AI. Nevertheless, the internet has grown to point where the entire world relies on it, entrenches itself in our day-to-day lives. Globalized commerce, media and entertainment is now the norm. But like any technology, innovation will continue to thrive, and the internet will evolve. Recent times have seen the integration of computers into essentially everything we do. Your phone is your alarm clock, you use your laptop to work and watch movies, God dammit, even our TVs are even connected to the internet. Whilst these are all crazy developments, there is one development that trumps them all. The ability to make payments digitally. Why is this so important? Because it shifted the internet from a platform for sharing pure information, into a digital marketplace. The economic ceiling lifted as users began to transact in cyberspace, allowing borderless commerce. Access to all products became effortless, and creating businesses digitally became common. This didn’t come without consequences, it is important to remember Newton’s First Law, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The growth of digital marketplaces has led to an influx of scamming in all forms, leaving vulnerable individuals open to harm on the internet. No amount of cybersecurity can train you to prevent the complexity of the scams growing on our evolved world wide web. So, what can we do to add an extra layer of security? The answer is simple, with the power of blockchain and crypto rails. I know what you’re thinking, “But…Speculation Station crypto is full of scammers! Even more than on the regular internet!” Whilst I do agree and have been a victim countless times, blockchains give us a special power. The ability to accurately verify, store value and swap endless fungible assets. Getting scammed is a skill issue, that in most cases can be prevented with a little bit of education. Crypto is also past the point of being a way to hide your money, in fact, it never was a good way to hide your money, it’s literally a public ledger. Transparency is the price the crypto community had to pay for mass adoption. If you want your crypto to stay private go buy $ZEC or $XMR, but I’d prefer to focus on the future, more specifically, the integration of crypto rails into the real world. The real world that I mean is one where people can reliably transact online by having cryptographically protected wallets, utilizing secure firewalls and repping digital identities, in a one-size-fits-all cyber economy. What made crypto so valuable is not because it’s a ‘digital currency’. It became valuable because it creates a decentralized platform built on trust and consensus without the need for a centralized party. The transaction you make is the final settlement, you have custody of tokens, and you can spend them reliably. You can’t decentralize a centralized platform, but you can make centralized protocols on a decentralized platform; this is how we integrate real-world commercial and legal systems on the blockchain. Once the world migrates to the digital, trustless economy, endless capital will flow there. When traditional investments stagnate due to their denomination in dollars, people will search for more volatility, and secure value storage incapable of being inflated away. Even if people don’t move away from traditional investments fully, they will shift their holdings on-chain. Security and easy access will be become the norm. The days of fundamental valuations will remain in the past as valuable product becomes easier to create and dollar value decreases with fiscal policy. Likely to be replaced by speculation, memetic value and most importantly, scarcity. The benefits of a digital economy on a decentralized layer trump our current system, but we still have a way to go. This is why I’m here, to bridge the gap between the financial gurus and software engineers and the people that need it most, the general population. We need to simplify blockchain technology and distribute it to the masses, to bring back self-custody of our money on a secure, trustless platform. I know I’m speculating, but it’s hard to argue with a fundamentally better system. Stack Bitcoin and never sell.

The road from AI to Bitcoin Let’s assume that OpenAI, Google or Anthropic creates a model that costs virtually 0 dollars to run, and is smarter than every human on Earth. Would you need to design a new model? AI companies are throwing trillions of dollars into compute to try the train latest model, all seeking to crack the code. But when it cracks, the cost of AI goes to zero. The cost of intellectual labour goes to zero. Your accounting, free. Lawyer fees free. Research assistant? Free. This is a very real possibility people just don’t want to believe it. What happens to the leftover compute? Is it necessary to keep training new models when it is so efficient to replace the thinking of even the most significant minds in the human race? Potentially not. Bitcoin is mined through lots of computational calculations, and the world’s biggest companies will be able to mine them the most efficiently. They will secure the network to a point where it’s undeniable Bitcoin is the future; it will scale to a global force of value preservation. Money the people wanted from day one. When your dollars slowly devalue to nothing because an AI can automate the jobs of half the population, we’re going to need another avenue. The baseline will shift, and the signal will become clear. NVIDIA, Google and every other company piling trillions into super heavy computers will look to Bitcoin as reward for that energy, and they will become rich. What does this mean for the individual. Stack Bitcoin, stack hard and never look back. Sovereign states and AI companies are coming for your Bitcoin, they just don’t know it yet. You are early. All roads lead to Bitcoin.

@speculation_st Nice thoughts... definitely noticed my big mac was getting crazy expensive

K-Shaped economy The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. There are a number of forces contributing to our K-Shaped economy. Today’s Government will try to convince you it is through tax benefits to the rich, unequal access to resources or some other subjective, divisive, political reason. The truth is the K-Shaped economy was implemented by design. Those with money and power, wish to retain that money and power, so they created a system by which the value of barter is controlled politically. Fractionalized reserve lending created an unstoppable credit system, helping capitalism flourish. At the same time, it entrenched greed into institutions and a materialistic mindset into individuals that are forced stored their value within the system. By having your money inflate at 2% a year (supposedly), it creates a drive to beat that benchmark. Economically speaking, this isn’t entirely bad. Creating value, jobs and products that make our lives better is a good thing. The problem arises when: 1. Making money is preferred over human-centric development, and 2. Inflation goes beyond economic stimulation to economic deprivation. Both of these ideas are present and are key drivers of the K-Shaped economy. Making money and creating value are two distinct concepts; an economy incentivized to create value is one that flourishes, but an economy fixated with making money is destined to fail. In recent times, the latter has become normal. By maximizing the reduction of costs and being willfully blind to the effects that their products have on society, corporations have been able to create immense profits. Nowadays, the trade-off isn’t between costs and profit; the trade-off is between costs and health, where large entities can produce such large amounts of product, profit is inevitable. What do I mean by health? I mean the influx of plastics, bad quality products and more recently, dopamine farming digital products that ruin attention span and harvest your personal data. Profit is now the priority and genuine value creation falls behind. Who becomes richer and richer? The rich. And who ultimately bears the burden? The consumer. Capitalism has fallen on its own sword, by harming the very people who keep it afloat, extending the arm of the K. Inflation also has a big part to play in all of this. The idea is that the purchasing power of money decreases by 2% a year, yet in 2 years, my Big Mac Combo went from costing $10 to costing $16. This isn’t an exception; the Big Mac index is a credible valuation tool due to its international accessibility. This is a physical manifestation of what happens when banks print money that they don’t have. Initially, inflation was used as a way to keep the economy stimulated, by introducing new money in small increments. What the bank ‘forgets’ to tell you is that inflation compounds, the amount of new money that comes into the world economy each year trumps the year before by a large amount. This ultimately puts good assets like homes and businesses out of reach for most individuals, particularly young people. So, what do they turn to as alternative? Consumption. Cheap, addictive products. Majority of the population is convinced that such assets are unattainable, and resort to feeding the very system that put them there is the first place. These ideas can be daunting to think about, but they have extended further than purely a function of the economy. K-Shaped Sociology The danger of a K-Shaped economy is just the fear of having a low bank balance, it has leaked into the fabric of society. When rampant inflation causes good assets to become unattainable, the corporations that used to sell a dream, turn to selling an escape. The very institutions that are profiting from debasement, are now profiting from the cheap and harmful products available to us today. Now, I’m not trying to point any fingers, the institutions are not the ones to blame, this system itself is the bad actor. The upper arm is aware that you have to adapt to stay ahead of the curve, and if that means that you have to put some people down to get there, you’d probably do it yourself. The idea extends further than merely profits, it has leaked into our governments and politics. It is the job of the Government to explain to their citizens why the economy isn’t flourishing and why everything is so expensive (because when have you ever heard them tell you things are going well), and no matter what the Government says, the citizens will believe them. They can’t tell them the truth, that our economic system is fundamentally flawed, because it would create fear, and control would be lost. Instead, they turn to fabricating narratives, convincing the public there are alternate reasons. By creating division and allowing groups to pin the blame on each other under the guise of democracy, the government can keep the trust of the public and the theatre can commence. Unfortunately, the system is rotten at the core, and often the bureaucrats that are preaching to the masses are probably unaware themselves. Powerful people have built a reverse Robin Hood system that feeds on the poor and enriches the already abundant. Now, at this point you’re probably thinking well, why don’t I just stop trying if the system is rigged against me? I would say that’s a good question, here’s what I think. What can we do? Not only bad things have come from capitalism and profiteering, it has driven innovation and helped birth an informational age where all information is one prompt, search or click away. AI has bridged the gap that used to exist only through a higher education, information that used to be exclusive is now widely available, it is your job to extract it from your screen. Knowledge is the hedge against the K-Shaped system that we live within; combine this with awareness, and you have the ingredients to build a long-lasting framework that can help you take advantage of the system. Information is the commodity that costs nothing to acquire but allows you to advance towards the acquisition of valuable, future-securing assets. When you habitually consume, or your emotions are stirred from an online article, really think deeply. Is this something I asked for or need? Or is this something being fed to me by an algorithm? Does this idea beneficial for society? Or was it put here to distract me from the problems in my own life? Once you become aware, you become enlightened. Once you stop consuming, shifting your focus to building knowledge, you earn that dopamine naturally and move past consumerism into incentive alignment. It is time to filter out the information put there to control you and lure you in the herd of sheep. Now that you understand that the system is designed this way, what are you going to do about it?

@Crypto_Tengen the trenches are cooked because of people like @Cupseyy

Cupsey explains how the trenches could come back at any time "During BNB szn It's ATH vol day was literally higher than Pump's. This just shows the people are there, the capital is there, we just need these big platforms to make the right moves. They're all just fumbling"

@coinbureau @_The_Prophet__ go into detail about this!

🚨TRADING VOLUME COLLAPSE Crypto markets saw double-digit volume drops in the past 24 hours. $BTC down 61%, $ETH down 54%. Most are in red, with $BNB the lone outlier, posting a 24% volume increase.

@cryptolyxe So who’s going to release no builds and make it fair again??

memecoins right now is just like fortnite when everyone learned how to build i will not elaborate

The creator of Bitcoin was a person who spent years thinking about the nature of money, the fragility of institutions, the logic of law, the power of cryptography, and the necessity of decentralization. He was a person who understood that trust is the greatest vulnerability in any system. He was a person who built the intellectual groundwork for digital property long before the world cared about such things. He was a person who refused to anchor his identity to his creation because he believed the system should stand free from the influence of its own author. He was a person whose work already contained the shape of Bitcoin long before the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto wrote a single line. The creator did not leave a signature. He left a system. But that system points back to him in every way.

@hooeem Because they’ve made fuck loads of money probably

Why are there so many old whale wallets that haven’t been touched for 10+ years suddenly selling their $BTC? What do they know? Why are they selling now? Especially when we’ve been at these prices for over a year now, they could have sold at any point.

@donalt Tokenised goodwill in action we just can’t find a mature way to value it

Memecoins are to this cycle what NFT were for last cycle Somehow we find something new every time, I wonder what we'll come up with in the next one

@CryptoTaxSucks An LLC means you can pay wages as a company expense thereby eliminating tax liability

LLCs do not provide tax advantages. They protect your personal assets from legal liability. And they cost you $ (setup, admin, etc.) An S-corp might provide some tax advantages But if you don't have significant profit in the S-corp the admin/professional fees could also kill any tax advantage. If you want to be able to write more things off Gotta start swinging bigger size.

@Keir_Starmer The most blatant thing ever

I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner. She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was. With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs. Digital ID will save you time and money.
