i like bitcoin, memes, and other freedom tech

we’ll keep sucking the economic life out of these people and their families until they disappear from relevance

RE: Hunter Biden’s potential pardoning and whatever comes of the Trump cases -

IMO there is a difference between weaponizing the justice system against your political opponent and charging someone who committed a crime with that crime. being a politician or a member of a powerful family shouldn’t protect you from the law. They both committed crimes and deserve to be charged. If any of us committed these crimes we wouldn’t be walking free.

PSA - BITCOIN HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF UPGRADING ITS SECURITY THAN YOUR BANK BROKERAGE OR LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE YOU USE DIGITALLY

you are correct. however that doesn’t change the government’s ability to erode Bitcoin’s brand in the mind of the average person when they see shitcoin after shitcoin scam. It’s just the reality we live in. The average person doesn’t have the time or desire to thoroughly research Bitcoin versus other cryptocurrencies. The majority of the population just sees that 99% of cryptos are fraud and then will be more likely to be compliant when the gov’t institutes unfriendly Bitcoin policy. Whether it be wealth taxes, cap gains taxes, or whatever they decide to do.

opinion: the state is allowing shitcoin scam after shitcoin scam (i.e. Hawk Tua coin) in order to erode Bitcoin’s brand / perception

When I was 18, I was severely depressed. With good reason. I’d fucked up high school. Drugs and drinking had a hold on me. My grades were shit. My friends were addicts. My mother, a schizophrenic, was having a serious year-long episode. She was institutionalized. Wrapped her car around a telephone pole. Almost died. The cops were at our house a lot. My father was dead inside. Burnt out, and numb. Numb. There was severe emotional neglect and chaos throughout my childhood. I had no hope for the future. Completely lost, purposeless, and drifting. Purposeless. Drifting. I wasn’t fully suicidal. Like there weren’t any plans in place, but I thought about it a lot. A voice in the back of my mind told me there had to be a way out. I know now that it was god speaking to me.

I listened to that voice. I stopped doing drugs. I drank less. I began to hike every day in the mountains by myself. The sun, the air, the solitude. I loaded up an old iPod. I listened to the Beatles, a lot of classical music, and audiobooks. I didn’t hang out with my friends anymore. I just hiked every day by myself. I got a shitty fast-food job. I used to stay late to clean and just think about my life. I enjoyed the structure. Soon, they made me the assistant manager. I was the only one who was dependable, I guess. I went to community college. I actually applied myself for the first time ever. I got straight A’s. I hooked up with a lot of girls, that was helpful for my mood and self-esteem. I used my grades to get into a good college. I wanted to get across the country. To get away from it all. I went to Chicago.

College was fun. There were lots of girls, lots of parties. I was in film school and actually interested in what I was learning. Everything was amazing. My family is from rural Illinois. I used to visit my grandfather on the weekends sometimes. He was one of my favorite people. In the winter, he got sick. We found out he had leukemia. I got depressed again. I stopped going to college. I spent a lot of time out in the country. It felt more important to be with him as he died. I was there when he passed.

I came home for the summer. The great financial crisis was going on. My friend got one of those Obama new home buyer loans, so we spent the summer having parties and playing beer pong in his garage. One night, the girl I was going to marry walked in. I knew it right away. I didn’t feel like going back to Chicago. So I stayed and went to state school. I started dating the girl that would one day become my wife. I still was partying too much. Binge drinking. I couldn’t escape the feeling I was wasting my potential. Fucked around and did DMT one day. Blast off. Full-on cosmic panic attack. The overarching message: “Your time here on Earth is temporary. So get to work.”

Fuck, okay. So I got serious about my life… again, and I changed everything… again. I had been lazy and unmotivated. I began to focus intently on my craft. I attended every lecture. I made connections. I worked on everyone’s sets. I won the school film festival. I started a production company with a friend while still in school. It took off. We were making good money. We dropped out and did the business full time. I asked the girl to marry me. She said yes.

I found Bitcoin. I took all the profits from the business and put it into Bitcoin. I convinced my fiancé to put her salary into Bitcoin too. We were frugal to the point of being weirdos. We bought a little condo, and we got married. Bitcoin went up like crazy. We had a kid. Bitcoin went down like crazy. My father got sick. We took care of him when he died. I assumed responsibility for my mother. We had another kid. My wife’s parents got divorced, and my mother-in-law was left penniless. I assumed responsibility for her as well. My mother had another multi-year schizophrenic episode. Cops, hospitals, chaos. Then she got cancer. We had another kid. After a short battle with cancer, my mother died.

Then Bitcoin crashed 80% again. We had our fourth kid. For the first time in a long time, nothing happened. It was quiet. Bitcoin steadily rose. I spent time with the kids. There was no chaos. Just peace.

When Bitcoin hit 100k. I took a look around at my loving wife, our warm home decorated for Christmas, my four beautiful children, and I felt that it had all been worth it.

Whatever you’re going through…

Keep going.

legend. we are breaking generational cycles of poverty and serfdom.

most of my net worth is bitcoin because I’m a low risk investor

max pain scenario for bitcoin is to absolutely rip over the weekend after it just wiped out all the leveraged longs

are we sure that Peter Schiff doesn’t have a shitload of Bitcoin already and is just engagement baiting us for X money?

I can’t believe he just sits around tweeting about Bitcoin all day and still doesn’t see it. He’s either playing 7-D chess or is actually one of the most retarded people to ever grace our beautiful planet.

happy 100k everyone😎

what will be the United States’ response to domestic bitcoiners when our enemies inevitably use bitcoin to undermine the dollar?
