If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

Vladimir Kornilov, a journalist from Donetsk, Natalia Poklonskaya, Vladimir Rogov, Denis Pushilin, Anatoly Vasserman (is he still alive?)…

The New Cuckold Government of the UK Pledges to Support Ukraine Until the Bitter End

Source

At these point, this is paying for Ukraine’s funeral. 3 bin GBP could be distributed among the British poor so they can get over the cost of living crisis but the Ukraine war is more important. You know how much money has been invested into this endeavor. You know how much was betted on Russian defeat?

Keir is an establishment candidate, he must not disappoint the stakeholders.

First Past the Post

I am personally a fan of direct democracy, the current system is an eighteenth century anachronism. Today we have technologies like blockchain. Obviously, there are things to hammer out like filing of motions, and the rules around it. Government digital infrastructure that would allow every citizen to vote. Security of the system would also have to be maintained.

The British system has this beautiful thing that you at least know your MP. Whether that means anything is open to debate. Here in Czechia you just need 5% of the vote to get a seat. This is how I got elected.

How to Analyze Cryptocurrencies?

Here is an interesting method…

I found it at the Bitcoin University channel, and somehow this video has altered my desire to acquire certain cryptocurrencies.

So this new Kaspa has this thing called the ghost protocol (Kaspa the friendly ghost 👻) that basically solves the trilema of cryptocurrencies. Guys, I am not very keen on the technicalities of the software but I am very interested in monetary theory, what is money, what is sound money? And the trilema is basically this:

I somehow do not get why these should cause a dilemma. Scalability is basically about the ability to divide the “coin” into smaller units, for instance Bitcoin is divided into 100 million satoshis. Bitcoin would have to get really expensive for its scaleability to be threatened. They say that Kaspa means silver in Aramaic. The authors of Kaspa are trying to sell it by saying that this is silver to Bitcoin that is gold. Bitcoin is not gold, BTC is a fucking software, and silver is shit. 💩

1 oz price, feel the difference?

Historically, silver coinage appeared to make gold scaleable. Every gold coin was worth some amount of silver coins, and silver coins could be divided into copper coins. Every land had a different standard of minting coins, and international exchange rates must have been a nightmare. Gold is a proper precious metal, along with platinum, palladium. Although, I am not sure the other two do not oxidize…

Pure silver also does not tarnish in normal temperatures. But silver is more abundant in nature than any of the other metals mentioned above. I am taking Litecoin from the list of cryptocurrencies I want to acquire. Billing your coin as silver to Bitcoin doesn’t work here.

Another issue is decentralization. Currency should be neutral as possible, it should not be tied to a single entity. Cryptocurrency should not be issued by a bank, crypto exists to circumvent banks. I am wary of coins linked to exchanges like Binance. Kaspa is apparently developed by a team of Israelis and the founder posts pro-Israel tweets.

I personally have nothing against people harboring biases based on ethnicity, this is quite a strong thing. But in this respect, Kaspa has nothing on Bitcoin. We don’t even know, who Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin is. Nobody has ever seen Satoshi, he doesn’t tweet. It is presumed he owns like million BTC but has never moved his coins. What’s he gonna do with all that Bitcoin remains to be seen. I don’t care if he sells it all, and the price drops, I will pump my financial reserve into it. Trust me, much bigger fish will scoop up that Bitcoin even faster.

Also, there seems to be space for one or very few cryptocurrencies at the top. I think BTC will remain the undisputed ruler but there are other interesting projects that have qualities people find appealing like anonymity of payments like in Monero. If you want a coin that will likely preserve its value, go for Bitcoin, it has a limited supply of 21 million. For instance Pepe coin has the supply of 420 billion (420 😆) coins, and people are wondering whether its price will ever reach $1.

There are some indicators one should follow. The market capitalization and number of transactions in a given cryptocurrency. Either of these indicate a future success of the cryptocurrency but they are an indicator of current adoption. Adoption is very important, basically, there isn’t a space for the myriad of cryptocurrencies there currently are. However, I do leave room for a particularly good cryptocurrency bursting on the scene and becoming really popular but BTC kinda kicks ass and is used everywhere.

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I try to sleep as much as I can, I spend a lot on food, I like to feel good in the cloths I wear. I actually walk 5 km at work every day. My legs hurt afterwards, so I chill.

LOL, Carl Bildt

Russian victory over Ukraine will be a massive blow to the credibility of people like Bildt that have instigated the current war with the vision of bringing Russia to it knees and prolonging the US hegemony. Talks about Chinese yokes, or future Ukrainian resistance are massive copes. Russia had the same relationship with the EU as it does with China. Basically Russia supplies resources and these countries supply value added goods that Russia does not make. The Ukrainians don’t give a fuck about being ruled by Russia, only a handful of nationalist fanatics. Russia will kill them…

Summer is Here

I have been updating this post for several months, ever since I heard, Zelensky promised another counteroffensive…

The Summer is going to be hot, say Czech media…

Ukraine is ready for Russia’s summer offensive. Ukraine will start its offensive next year says Jake Sullivan…

13 May, Danish F16s to arrive within months

Esther Vilar: Manipulated Man

Libri prohibiti de Amazon…

I was going to get Esther Vilar’s antifeminist classic, The Manipulated Man, but low and behold, the book is nowhere to be found on Amazon. I mean, there is the German translation but the English version has been throughly purged. I guess feminists complained, and Amazon obliged. Also pleas with Amazon could have been done through organizations like the ADL, or the SPLC.

Luckily, one of the editions of the book is posted here in pdf, as the book appears to be sold out elsewhere.

I must say the book does not conform to my standards of brevity and organization of ideas, and the text appears repetitive. It might be a bit dated today because men might have moved a bit in their development from the time her book was published.

Nevertheless, the book has some revolutionary ideas about masculinity and the relationship between the sexes. It completely demolishes the discourses of mainstream feminism and I guess the latter is why it is banned on Amazon.

Amazon might have the right not to allow certain works on its site but as a monopoly on book trade, Amazon is effectively engaging in censorship of a work that does not conform to its preferred political ideology. I would say like 70% of all the print books I own were bought through Amazon, and 100% of all digital books on my Kindle. Now imagine, if Amazon, Google, Apple, all ganged up against an author and banned him from selling his work through their platform? He would effectively have his rights to free speech curtailed.

Esther Vilar’s book is not the only one Amazon has banned. Goodreads have short 3 title list on their site. The first is When Harry became Sally, which is critical of trans people, something about the Covid pandemic, which is another topic you peasants are not allowed to have free discussion about. The last one is an anthology of fascists from 1930s. Because you cannot read what the fascists thought lest you may actually like some of it.

These books carried disinformation, you say? Shut down most mainstream media then, they lie all the time. If these books are full of inaccuracies and biases, there is the review section. If the review section is enough, any removal of these books amounts to political censorship.

I found an audio book on YouTube. UPD: There was, it was taken down by YouTube.

Guys, Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto is on Amazon, and the above book is not.

Above is another link, let’s see if that gets taken down. I will updated this post again.
