Having grown up in a Christian household with conservative values, I was raised to never curse or use other kinds of crude language. And now, even though I know there's nothing wrong with saying words like "shit" (it's the most accurate word that could be used when translating one word in Philippians 3:8), I still find myself preferring to write "💩coins," rather than "shitcoins." Old habits die hard, I guess...

Anyway, then I discovered Bitcoin, and you vulgar, crass, lovable bunch of misfits that use it. Those of my ultraconservative Christian upbringing might react to some of you the way the Pharisees and Roman soldier react to the dinner guests in the video clip below, but they're not my tribe. They're not my people. My tribe loves truth more than propriety. My tribe says what they mean and doesn't dance around it for fear of offending someone. My tribe used to be "the weak things of the world," but they are coming forth and breaking down "the mighty and strong ones."

I've learned that when it comes to goodness, there are weightier matters than watching one's language and wearing a suit and tie. So if you're into Bitcoin for the revolution, to fix the world's problems for your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchilren, then I don't care who you were before you found it. Just like Christ, and everything else that's inspired by Him, Bitcoin will make you triumph over all the self-important cucks out there.

I'm honored and overjoyed to be standing with you in this fight for freedom, truth, and everything good in this world. 🥂

"This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."

Amen brother!! Shoulder to shoulder my friend! And that must be a scene from Season 4. We have not had a chance to dig into that, been way too much going on, and still have to figure out how we are going to be able watch it, but best believe I will get it figured out!!

I am so glad Bitcoin found me, and as you were also saying. I have found my tribe too, I have been searching for Bitcoiners for years now and never knew it. I guess I have you to thank for that for starting a BTC group. God gets all the Glory though since I don't believe in coincidences. Glad I am amongst friends, even the ones I haven't met yet or may never will. I only have 7.5 days left in the Matrix. Cannot stand it here anymore. I work and walk among the enemy daily, but this too shall pass.

That scene is from the last episode of season 1. I haven't seen season 4 yet, since that would have required paying a lot sats, and a low time preference view tells me I can wait and watch it when it's available on streaming. 😌

I'll be praying for you! We're working on getting Satlantis ready for you and others, but I'll also be praying that you'll be able to get a non-Matrix job in the meantime. 🙏

Ok, the scene did look familiar, but it has been a long time since season 1....we are thinking about watching the 1st 3 seasons again, it seems that would serve me well. I did find it odd they were in Matthews house, and that sure isn't where they are at the end of season 3, but I figured you were definitely finished with season 4 already. 🤣

Obviously I am in the same boat as you, waiting! It's too bad they are having the troubles they are having, but I will just re-watch the 1st 3 seasons....as I said, been thinking about it anyway.

And thanks for the prayers, this month is nuts, just got Jaden fitted for braces today and need to order glasses for both of us before my insurance is going to run out. Still dealing with my knee injury and Jaden graduates 2 weeks from today and has a Sr trip to Disney Land, Universal Studios, California Adventure Park, and Six Flags Magic Mountain next week, and next Friday should be my last day. Have company coming for his graduation, and on and on. But hoping after May, I can start focusing on the future, so the prayers are definitely appreciated brother. (So much more I could say, but will save it for another day, gotta make dinner) 👊
