A life update
Iâve enjoyed being away from the digital world for a while. Iâve lurked and made the occasional poast here and there, but for much of this year Iâve been focused on life in meatspace.
Writing, reading, lifting, grappling, living, travelling, eating, reading, sun, sand, seawater, sexâââand building..
Itâs really been goodâââbut alas, it is now time to come back and be active because itâs an evil necessary for work that involves a digital elementâââwhich all three of my key projects do!
Itâs a little strange coming back to the bird app (not a bird anymore), but less-so here on Substack. Writing long form has always felt more natural. Twitter definitely pulled me into the vortex of stupidity in 2022, so I plan to manage it better this time.
In any case, this initial Chronicle is more of a diary entry and PSA, than it is the general kind of article you might be used to. Alsoâââyou should head over and subscribe to my Substack insteadâââIâll be phasing out my Medium.
The Remnant Chronicles | Aleksandar Svetski | Substack
Anywayâââsoon enough Iâll be waxing lyrical on things I find meaningfulâââthat will probably cover a broad range of topics, from Bushido, to why Alexander the Great was the true GOAT, why Feudalism being peak civilisation, to why Equality is fundamentally evil, and even Bitcoin as Nietzschean Vitalist Money vs Crypto as Fiat bugman money.
Lotsâ of things I want to explore.
But before I do those, a note on the THREE things I have been, and am working on.
Projects
Iâm working on 3 primary projects this year, and Iâll be posting about them + doing a podcast and spaces roadshow to discuss each.
1. The Spirit of Satoshi
This is an attempt to build a more âbasedâ, Bitcoin-Austro-RightCap centred language model that doesnât waste half the response moralising and apologising, and the other half on soy-laden platitudes. The hope is that it will become more than just a tool for Orange-Pilling people, but also one they can use for some biased feedback / ideas / opinions that are not of the woke variety..
You can read more about the work myself and the team have been doing there on the Authentic Intelligence substack.
2. The Bitcoin Times
In its 6th time around the sun, this yearâs Bitcoin Times will be âThe Energy Edition.â Bitcoin has fundamentally transformed our understanding of âWhat is Money,â and it is now compelling us to dig even deeper. Vaclav Smil said that âEnergy is the currency of the Universe.â
Turns out Bitcoin is a symbiosis of both money and energy. Not just because those concepts are related, but because Bitcoin is actually energy-money. Not sure what I mean? Check out this piece from a prior edition of The Bitcoin Times (perhaps some of my finest writing, if I do say so myself), and keep an eye out for Bitcoin Times Ed 6 coming out later this year.
By the wayâââif youâve got an interesting on take on Bitcoin through the lens of energy, or energy through the lens of Bitcoin, reach out because Gideon Powell & I are co-writing a piece, and we have room for 2 more collaborators. Youâll be joining Marty Bent, Drew Armstrong, Harry Sudock & Brian Gitt.
Last but not least,
3. The Bushido of Bitcoin
My second book, being published by Bitcoin Magazine, will be a different kind of Bitcoin bookâââfocused more on WHO one must become, if Bitcoin does transform the world in the way we think it will.
What Virtues will be most important to embody and inculcate in our kin?
What will the new playbook-for-life look like, when the materialist-oriented, money printing machine dies, and the measuring stick for human competition and cooperation becomes fixed & incorruptible?
I ask some very hard questions in this book, and will challenge your thinking about warfare, morality, the body and the mind, money, affluence and much more.
Iâm adding the finishing touches to the book now, and hope it will be available for The Bitcoin Conference in Amsterdam.
Last but not leastâŠ
Some of you have asked me if Iâm going to kick the Podcast off again. For now, no. I want to focus on my own things right now, and as you can probably tell, my plate is pretty full.
But like I said at the outset, I will be doing some writing here on this Substack, and if time permits, who knowsâââI may record the odd podcast and post it here.
A particular topic I want to delve into is Bitcoin Nietzscheanism, and how âEnergy Moneyâ as a concept makes way for a world in which Quality, Excellence, Merit, Ingenuity, and Vitality once more become North Stars.
Thatâs it from meââânot that you necessarily asked for an update, but I felt that since youâre subscribed and I needed a diary entry, this would be useful.
See yâall around.
