You nailed my concerns and gut feeling about crypto.
Reminds me of .com bubble. People became millionaires overnight, with zero concrete substance. Made zero sense.
What a great childhood, you described me to a degree. I too thought it a waste of time and money to go to university. To study what THEY wanted me to.
I eventually went to culinary academy, perfect.
It’s too bad the powers that be have demonized Trade Schools, but than, US Government has the loans to universities , the unions, the indoctrination… tidy little corrupt package.

»For me, crypto currencies have one glaring flaw - they don’t exist in real life. They are entirely cyber and that depends on the availability of the energy grid, the internet and devices to access your stash.«
Anyone who has often seen people frantically searching for cash in their pockets at the gas station because card payment is not possible or seen the astonished face of a customer at the market stall who wanted to pay for a kilo of potatoes by card and was told: "Sorry, cash only!" – knows that it's always better to have a few bucks in your pocket than a plastic card or a smartphone. An old German proverb says: "Nur Bares ist wahres" ("Only cash is king!") That's obviously true. At least in real life...
I dunno.... that guy pushing bitcoin/blockchain, and virtual fiat currency, and talk of being 'decentralized' seems like an oxymoron and completely at odds with the reality that the internet will be going down - as you and others have so astutely pointed out. I suppose those buy gold with it will do better but who knows?
I liked it much more reading about your decentralized barefoot and free childhood and choices in life, and how your folks supported some of them (like the encyclopedias) , even if they did shake their heads! That was so smart of your kid self to just disappear when they were distracted and do what you liked without fighting them. That's a sign of true intelligence.
I'm piss poor now and half of the WEF prophesy came true - I own nothing except my ancient car. But the second half? I'm mad as hell at the grab and grift, the genocide and ecocide the power players are unleashing on us all.
Well Francis - we all know that the Japanese guy who "invented" Bitcoin is no where to be found. Hmmm and lol ? What if it was all a construct to get ppl used to the idea of a CBDC - a Central Bank Digital Currency. And the "blockchain" ? A ledger - where everything is tokenized. Even the word "blcckchain" is suspect. After all, slaves were put on auctioneered "blocks" to be sold and traded. And of course, slaves were often in chains. I personally feel this is the central bankers marketing campaign/propaganda to sell a as "convenience " to a delusional public a modernized digital slave system. Yeah - slavery as a "convenience". It's interesting if you compare it to biblical teachings of the Creator's "ledger". I grew up Catholic but no longer practice. But I do remember going to confession where if I confessed and repented my sins - the Creator would "absorb" my debts (sins). Kind of fascinating considering what is going on in the world these days. Yeah - we've got to get out of this toxic, centralized system that's going on here. Sorry for the ramble....short on sleep these days :)
The interesting thing is resonating with childhood experiences at the core. Defying parental and familial intent I reproduce their values and ideals. Yet overtly - due to early life trauma response - my rebellion looked much different. Artistically subversive in quiet and not quiet ways. I was the only male in my suburban high school '69 - '72 to have long hair and huge mauroon suede platform shoes bought in Carnaby St. on my first trip to London. They looked great with my full length Afghan
sherpa coat! lol
Choosing a "career" in department store visual presentation was seen as bizarre. On the inside it was a world of both supporting beauty, defying ordinariness, while always tongue in cheek. The irony was as much taking the piss by "making shit shine" as it was to produce imaginative vingettes to boggle the average mind ... more than to cast a spell for the punters to dive into thier pocketbooks.
I still haven't listened to the podcast, but yeah, now that I've read your post, I think I've been de-centralized most of my life, and I keep chasing it, subconsciously, til now.
The thing that Jack Kruse was emphasising was the importance of our location on earth. Basically he was saying that closer to the equator is all the better for our health because we need maximum sunlight and not to be indoors in unnatural light all the time. I miss Spain, more and more.... sigh.
I grew up in Texas, mostly. And every summer, hours and hours and hours at the pool. I was often mistaken for being Mexican, I was soooo tan (lots and lots of my lovely Mexican buddies living in Texas!).
I've listened to a lot of the podcast, but I don't really understand it as well as I'd like... I want some VISUALS, like a book, or whatever... I've never learned about all that electricity kind of stuff, but it's really interesting. I like this guy, even if he seems kind of an ego head, he's damn smart and very sure of what he knows, and I like that.
Drenched in the stench of self importance...and sweat.
Man should have put a shirt on.
He said, with great pride, that he stood alongside two of the biggest Health Freedom Frauds in the business, Malone and McCullough, and told the world not to take the Quackzine.
When he started to tout Bitcoin, I killed the feed.
I listen to Kruses’ info about health and the ‘light’ sun diet and find it makes much sense. We cannot agree with everything everyone says but pick out the bits that benefit us. He is opinionated etc but most of his work stands to reason. Agree with you about bitcoin, my eyes glaze over !
Oh Linda! I was HOPING that someone would notice that prideful moment - it went down like a lead balloon with me too! So glad you remembered to mention it.
'Nuther good word, 'INALIENABLE' . . . which is not 'in'alien'able.' The 'alien' version is incorrect. . . nothing to do with aliens, but everything to do with 'liens' . Our 'in-a-leen-able' rights come from God, we cannot allow corporations disguised as govments keep removing them--or 'liening' against them . . they are UN(IN)-ALIENABLE if we know who we are. https://inalienable-university.mn.co/
Yes, our inalienable rights come from the ancient Usages ("accepted practices") of Britain, which originate in the laws of Troy and Ancient Greece. The Usages of Britain could not be altered by any act or edict of the Crown or National Convention. They were considered the inalienable rights to which every Briton was born and of which no human legislation could deprive him. Many of these usages are remarkable for their humane and lofty spirit: for instance, "There are three things belonging to a man, from which no law can separate him: his wife, his children, and the instruments of his calling; for no law can unman a man, or uncall a calling."
What a truly inspiring post Frances. I can relate to a lot of it. Be yourself, be true to yourself.
I am reminded of this beautiful concept:
“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on it’s own wings. Always believe in yourself”.
That is a lovely quote. Slightly spoiled by the superfluous & incorrect apostrophe. But let’s overlook that.
The word 'it's' is entirely out of place and wrong because, having referred to the bird as female, the sentence ought to read “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on her own wings. Always believe in yourself.”
It's like Rock 'n' Roll the lyrics are always ambiguous - if I were allowed to have my real and personal property I'd be making plans to leave this God forsaken place ... not because of the government because of those who people it. One of my favorite quotations “The Judges of England were said by Bentham to have made the Common Law as a man makes law for his dog – by waiting until he has done something wrong and then beating him for it” - “Two Ways of Thinking” by Lord Macmillan, (1934 Cambridge) . Where I'm presently "corralled" if someone kills you, there's a good chance that it might appear in the local newspaper - otherwise there is virtually no security of life, liberty or property unless you can afford to lease a lawyer. They don't approve of LIPs here they want a full mouthpiece.
and then secured without people trying to steal it
If everything is centralised what happens?

Sign me up, Frances! I am thoroughly jazzed about decentralization. Huzzah! Now, where are my glasses? ;)
Again, with you on this decentralized-self.

Thankye, ma'am. Yup, a yup yup yup.
The thing that Jack Kruse was emphasising was the importance of our location on earth. Basically he was saying that closer to the equator is all the better for our health because we need maximum sunlight and not to be indoors in unnatural light all the time. I miss Spain, more and more.... sigh.
LOL And I was thinking "decentralized" like a BANK. ^_^
LOCAL, I'm LOCAL, lolololol

Good one Frances! Out grammering the grammarians. 😹
Thank you so much, my Sista! You are making a difference in many lives with your knowledge and expertise! Congrats are in order!
