Broker —

These, which in English are called BroJcers,*”’^*’^ are those who-are not in­
volved in the cultivation of the soil or in any of the arts, but who gather up the manufactures and provisions with the help of money, which is their unique capital and then — transporting, storing, assembling, or di­ viding them — sell them to consumers at higher prices, foragain.

Money is for trade

Thrift is a great driver — avoid racking up more expenses!

a trades­ man who counts his credits as certain wealth and re­ gards himself as wealthy and who increases his expen­ ditures on the basis of expected income, will also, as in the case of the noblemen, eventually go down, disenchanted, in poverty.

Very simple — to live like true nobility, ensure that your expenditures are FAR LESS than your income!

the nobility lives in a style and at an expenditure greater than its income,

A society without hate, would also be a society without love?

For example can I hate dogs, video games, alcohol and weed?

EZ!

HUMANS ARE WATERPROOF!

If somebody ask you whether you are on steroids or not, saying “absolutely not” is giveaway. If you were really not on steroids, you would just say “no“, or make a joke about it!

For example, if somebody ever asked me whether I was on steroids or not, I would probably joke and say “only in the butt cheeks!“

John Cena has faced speculation about steroid use throughout his career, largely due to his impressive physique. In an analysis of Cena’s physical changes over the years, some signs such as a more blocky appearance, increased muscularity, and changes in skin tone have been pointed out as indicators that might suggest steroid use. For example, it’s noted that Cena’s physique has changed significantly since he was 18, with a much thicker waist and more muscular build, which could be seen as unusual for someone who has been lifting weights from a young age without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs. The speculation includes potential use of human growth hormone, indicated by changes in skull size, and other steroids like Dianabol and Testosterone oai_citation:1,Is John Cena Natural Or On Steroids?.

However, in his defense, John Cena has openly denied using steroids. In a 2006 interview with Howard Stern, when asked directly about enhancement, Cena responded with a clear “Absolutely not,” insisting that he has been natural since day one and attributing his physique to superior genetics and a commitment to fitness from a young age. Cena also expressed his readiness to prove his natural status through drug testing oai_citation:2,John Cena Steroids: Has the Sixteen-Time WWE World Champion Ever Used Steroids To Achieve His Huge Physique? – The SportsRush. Additionally, a quote from Cena in a CNN documentary on pro wrestling has added to the debate. When questioned about steroid use, Cena’s response was ambiguous, suggesting that while you can’t prove he has used steroids, he also can’t claim he hasn’t, which has led to further speculation oai_citation:3,Did John Cena Admit To Using Steroids? – Wrestlezone.

The topic remains controversial, with Cena maintaining his stance on being natural and attributing his physique to genetics and hard work. The debate over Cena’s natural status underscores the broader discussions about steroid use in sports and entertainment, highlighting the challenges in distinguishing between natural athleticism and potential performance enhancement.

Trust nobody who talks about “hard work“— the Rock (steroids)—

46 years old and still fighting?

The reason why Floyd Mayweather is probably on steroids is because he is bald, and also, he is so old, and still fighting to make money?

As of my last update in April 2023, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was born on February 24, 1977. This would make him 46 years old as of February 2024.

There have been discussions and reports concerning Floyd Mayweather and the use of banned substances or practices. A notable instance involves Mayweather taking an intravenous infusion (IV) of saline and vitamins, which was reported to be banned under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines before his fight with Manny Pacquiao. However, due to restrictions on accessing specific details from ESPN, Daily Mail, and Bleacher Report, I couldn’t provide direct information from those articles.

It’s important to note that Mayweather has never publicly failed a drug test during his professional boxing career. The use of IVs, as described, can be for rehydration purposes, but such practices can also dilute or mask the presence of performance-enhancing drugs, raising concerns under anti-doping rules. Mayweather’s team has claimed that the injections were used to offset dehydration, and there are no official records of Mayweather testing positive for steroids or performance-enhancing drugs.

For comprehensive details or the latest updates on this matter, it would be advisable to consult reliable sports news sources or official statements from anti-doping agencies.

One of the big issues with bitcoin, crypto, cryptocurrencies is that nobody wants to use it for real every day transactions. For example the notion of holding or HODL (hold onto dear life).

According to GALIANI — DELLA MONETA ,,, currency and money is only useful when the velocity and movement of money is good. What that means is I guess the upside of the US dollar, visa and credit cards etc. is that people use it every day all the time for every day transactions. Then our every day real world purchases we never hesitate spending our US dollars thinking that one day our $100 USD might become $100,000 USD.

For example, let us say that I have 10 bitcoin, and each bitcoin is worth $10,000 USD. I might keep holding onto it hoping that a single bitcoin will become $50,000 a bitcoin, $80,000 a bitcoin, $100,000 a bitcoin, $1 million a bitcoin, or even $100 million a bitcoin.

The $100M pizza

do you know that one guy who spent 20,000 bitcoin to buy a single Domino’s Pizza? Apparently that thing will be worth $100 million, or even half $1 billion today!

It clears out the smog, it cleans the streets!

Also it waters all the plants and the forest in the trees and the land! Also after a long spell of rain, the parks are much more verdant green and beautiful, and also you get more clear views of the sky? I also surmise it might be better for the air quality?

Also, it helps grow food, feed livestock?

No rain, no grass. No grass, no delicious and nutritious and great grass fed beef!

OK, I’m a sociologist and I understand this well; apparently the new scheme is that in order to gain legitimacy, you gotta put all these fake social numbers, “social proof” whatever.

in today’s critical world, social proof is a trap. The more fake logos and fake numbers you got on it, it actually looks less credible.

For example with social media, numbers followers etc.… the more numbers it got, the worse it is.

For example, one of my best friends, a pretty high up guy in Facebook, he maybe has only 50 followers on Instagram or whatever, but yet one of them is Mark Zuckerberg himself! And this is also the friend who ate fried chicken with Mark on his private jet.

A new heuristic —

Things not to trust… when they put all these other partner logos on it?

Why? Typically the big issue here is that when it has a bunch of logos on it, they are trying to overcompensate for their own lack of self legitimacy. A true innovator wouldn’t need any foreign “social proof”.

The only “token” worth anything is either Bitcoin or Ethereum?

I find the women much more beautiful in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan and maybe Korea.

The problem about America living in America is that most people are very very unhealthy, too fat and unhealthy. In Asia, Southeast Asia and beyond… Certainly degenerative metabolic disease is starting to seep in, but still, most people are far healthier.

Bangkok, Thailand, Phnom Penh (no no no .. don’t go to siem reap in Cambodia I hate that place— too many ugly degenerates and expats who live there)— I also love Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Busan, Seoul, Gangnam and beyond, Hanoi and Saigon

Chainlink Romania

v7 startup spot looks cool. Google maps —

Common … all these people in Europeans hating on the Germans. The Germans are probably the last productive people in Europe.

They hate the Germans for World War II the holocaust etc. Yet in today’s world, Germany is the only last productive country in Europe? I wouldn’t be too surprised if within 50 years, Germany secedes from the European Union, and reclaims her own currency.

All of these crypto losers using Twitter, linking hyperlinking to Twitter… No! Start your own self hosted blog instead!

You cannot “fake” a Bitcoin

Karl Popper vibes —

One theory or philosophy of epistemology, or knowledge and truth in general… you can never really 100% “prove” whether something is true or false.

For example, back in the day, it was considered “true” that all swans were white. Because in all of recorded history, let us say 10,000 years or whatever… we have only ever witnessed white swans.

However, the day that an Explorer went to Australia or whatever, and finally discovered a single black swan,… This finding was able to falsify 10,000 years of recorded history; to falsify the notion that “swans are white”, with a single black outlier.

For another funny thought; maybe the idea that it is impossible for a single man, a normal human being all natural to lift 1000 pounds without steroids. I have proven this to be false. 1,000 pound ERIC KIM ATLAS LIFT — easy!

Therefore to take this idea further… Is it possible to create a technology in which you could prove something to be false? On the Internet, videos, images, AI generated art, porn, deepfakes, etc?

Things to falsify

I wish there was a technology or some sort of thing or platform or plug chain crypto something which could falsify all these nonsensical ideas:

1. They never really captured or killed Hitler, and he ended up going to Antarctica in a bunker, “Operation Paperclip”.
2. The illuminati, Hillary Clinton, all these people in the world abduct babies, pedophilia, heat fetuses, drink fetus blood whatever. In mainland China and beyond
3. Is it possible we can falsify the “evidence” behind the “fake” moon landings?

The basic idea and notion is that on the Internet, it is very difficult to ascertain whether something is true or not. One of the promises of chain-link is that with their technology, you can in fact verify whether something on the Internet or the web is true or false.

Trust no man or entrepreneur with chicken legs! Same thing with women!

The power is in your legs!

Skip arm and chest and shoulder day — every day is leg day!

There is a reason why chicken legs taste 1000 trillion times better than chicken breasts!

I hate chicken breast!

In fact, even if you offered me $20 to eat chicken breast, I would refuse.

Theory:

Assuming that emotional readiness is in fact physical readiness, then the question is this; or the thought—

Perhaps the best position to be in is in which you are always physically ready for anything! Another +10000 for daily physical training?

For example, with crypto, big financial decisions creating etc.… ultimately it comes down to my physiology. When my health is poor, I don’t want to do anything. But when my health is great, this is a good chance to make big moves.

Humans are all the same race. As long as we can procreate with one another, racial differences are minor.

I wonder, instead of these inane “racial wars”— we should launch a campaign against animals pets, emotional slavery of animals?

Consider, you are called a pet owner, or owning an animal, owning a dog.

Also, if and when your dog gets cancer or whatever… It is very standard to “put them down”— thank gos we do not do this with humans.

A funny new modern day notion — one is mo longer permitted to say “I hate dogs“

Or—

Dogs, pets, and animals are our slaves.

Don’t trust nobody who buys and consumes pizza, orders takeout, Domino’s, or any fast food — a sick body means a sick mind, and a sick soul.

Certainly sooner later we all got to die. Let us try to make it to 138 years old.

Meanwhile, something to think about is that there is a clear difference between biological aging and chronological aging.

If you plan on making it, living another 100 years… certainly your health is your number one priority!

One of the great upsides of illness and being sick is that when you are no longer sick, you are a billion times more grateful?

This actually seems like a good idea considering that Michael has already done such a good job with Apple Pay and integrating the whole payment shipping purchasing a products and services ecosystem into the iPhone.

The new GAP?
