One morning this week Mircea Popescu was overcome by a force of nature. Fuck the ocean. The world is a darker place without him.
Having made his first fortune in pornography, Mircea Popescu was one of the few earlier Bitcoiners to not be handicapped by autism. He leaves this world two devoted slave girls Hannah and Nicole who both love him.
His legacy includes:
- Making the straight blowjob mainstream during the most recent libertine sexual revolution
- Wrathfully exposing assorted scammers in the early days of Bitcoin including Butterfly Labs MtGox, and the US Securities and Exchange Commision among others. In each of these fights his reason was opposed by the purulent oozings of fetid communities convinced the scammers in question were anything but until their end.
- He founded a Republic and sponsored numerous ventures therein. Later he burned down that same Republic after reason lead him to conclude post-Modernity/Malone left the extant male population insufficient to continue actual civilization.
- The man embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe with the girls he loved in 2019, last year before the world as we knew it ended in hysteria over an upper respiratory virus.
- Maybe holding the largest fortune in the history of the world, known and unknown.
Through the entirety of his public facing involvement in Bitcoin, I remember the kindness of his honesty being slandered as toxicity. His opposition to arbitrary authorities was routinely declared impossible in spite of the man's actively disregarding them at every turn.
At the time the man died his was above the reach of any earthly authority, immune to petitions from any government. Having taken Mircea Popescu the ocean leaves this world with a void in the shape of man, actualized.

During a video conference substituting for a summit commemorating 30 years of MERCOSUR, President Luis Lacalle Pou clashed with Argentine despot Alberto Fernandez over the Argentine desire to close the bloc to any new trade agreements ever.
President Lacalle Pou's desire to open MERCOSUR to new trade agreements is supported by the leaders of Paraguay and Brasil while Fernandez sits alone in preventing the bloc and its members from entering any new agreements.
The video call ended without MERCOSUR members agreeing issue a traditional joint statement as Brazil's Bolsonaro and Uruguay's President Luis Lacalle Pou refused endorsing any statement without a commitment to opening the bloc's rules, but Argentina's Fernandez ended the video conference by offering that anyone who found present MERCOSUR rules too restrictive could "find another ship" and insisted that Argentina, with its collapsed economy, is more than just ballast burdening MERCOSUR's other members.

The fall of the US hegemon which began last year with the inability of the US to continue escalating after Iran fired ballistic missiles at US positions in Iraq following the assassination of an Iranian general in Iraq on a diplomatic mission. In this past week:
- Georgia's Senate run off election delivered the US Senate to the "Democratic" Party. This will place the House of Representatives, Senate, and Presidency all under the overt control of the same party.
- Protestors stormed the US Capitol, vandalized some shit, and ended their occupation after a Trump staffer took to Twitter. President Trump himself was suspended from Twitter during the event.
- The US Congress confirmed North America's own geriatric Juan Guaidó as the President elect.
- The EU stopped recognizing Venezuela's Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's "interim President"
- Incumbent US President Donald Trump Surrendered the inauguration despite promising to "continue to fight" despite not actually having fought actual threats since taking office.
- Iraq issued a warrant for the arrest of sitting US President Donald Trump.
- Bitcoin set several new all time highs crossing the 40,000 USD for 1 BTC mark.

With Brexit completing as the New Year started, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has subjected the entire Queendom to "tier 4" lockdown restrictions he made up last month and which lead to an evacuation of London. Further "tier 5" restrictions on movement are allegedly in the works.
With efforts to create panic over a "new strain" Johnson's projected mid-February end date for the "tier 4" restrictions on movement is unlikely to be realized. Informal surveys of Britons suggest most of the Queendom's inmates are unaware that not "everyone" is suffering to the degree they are, and that not everyone is "dealing" with what the Queendom suffers.
