BARRON’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE:
“I always knew it might be an issue. The numbers were clear from the beginning—NASA’s upper limit for height caps at 6’4”. I’m 6’7”. Three inches. Just three inches. In the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing, right? The universe is vast beyond comprehension, distances measured in light-years, and yet… here I am, stuck on Earth because of three inches.
I could solve their trajectory calculations in my sleep. Orbital mechanics? Easy. I can conceptualize complex fluid dynamics in zero-g faster than most people can tie their shoes. But none of that matters when your femurs are too long to fit in a Starship command module. I’ve run the simulations; I’d cramp up, circulation would suffer, and emergency egress would be a nightmare.
It’s frustrating. I mean, why aren’t these things designed for outliers? They plan for redundancy in systems, triple-check tolerances, yet when it comes to the people who dream of space—of really understanding it—they stick to averages. It’s as if the boundary of space isn’t the Kármán line; it’s an arbitrary height limit on a bureaucratic spreadsheet.
Of course, now things are different. Father is president again. And while I’d rather do this without any special treatment, it’s ridiculous to let bureaucracy stand in the way of progress. I’ll insist that father speak with Elon to make adjustments. He’ll understand. He’s always talking about Mars, and let’s be honest—this is really just prudent planning. Lower gravity means people will stretch out; it’s a physiological inevitability. What happens when we get there and everyone’s 6’5” and they realize their precious little suits are obsolete? Someone needs to think ahead. Someone tall enough to see over the horizon.
I’ve thought about ways around it—designing my own suit, building a private mission, lobbying for changes in policy. But the reality is, the space industry isn’t kind to anomalies. It’s built on precision and predictability, and I… well, I’m an outlier in more ways than one.
Still, I can’t help but feel a pang of injustice. That something as trivial as my height stands between me and the cosmos. But that’s the beauty of being in my position now—if anyone can do something about it, it’s me. Father will listen. Elon will listen. This isn’t just about me; it’s about the future of tall people in space. https://v.nostr.build/YqColV1vbqVnJUQu.mp4

100%. The hardest part is breaking out of the flow you’ve become accustomed to. You are clearly someone who cares about other humans deeply and the plebs are proud of you. Rooting for you in whatever comes next. I hope to make it there someday as well.
An open letter to nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l and any other bitcoiners who have shared a similar experience. #asknostr
I’ve got a problem…
I’m a 40 year old orthopaedic surgeon who has been obsessively stacking sats since I first went down the rabbit hole, within several months of taking my first job. If you subscribe to any of the long term price models, at a minimum we should see bitcoin growing at >25% ARR for over a decade, I should have about 3 times what is needed to comfortably retire. I now have the ability to walk away from a job that is capturing 40 hours of my life per week, allowing me to focus energy on family and other various pursuits that I deem appropriate/worthy of my time.
Sounds great, I know. but what I’ve realized is that regardless of the runway capital I’ve secured, emotionally its a significant leap to walk away from a job you spent 15 years training for. Can you imagine the anxiety/anguish you’d face if you chose to walk away, but were later forced to return to work, only to find that the lapse has reduced your skills or limited your ability to practice at your previous level of expertise?
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about this lately and have realized we may be part of an exceptionally small group of people with this opportunity. And, as such a small group, its difficult to find others to bounce ideas or offer emotional support as we navigate these uncharted waters.
If you or anyone you know has recently given up a wage slave position that required an immense amount of training, I want to hear from you! Please reach out so that we can build the resources needed for our growing niche
what is the point of being a wage slave if you never realize the fruits of your labor and reclaim your time and energy? the fear is usually mostly a result of the propaganda they have pushed. Bitcoin is your safety and you’ve earned this.
GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

how do we get unusual whales on nostr? feels like that would align with their mission.
does Trump think that rugging the public markets on a shitcoin will provide credibility for what he wants to do with Bitcoin? does he even care? is it all just a psyop to degrade bitcoin’s public perception?
I do data fund operations analysis, research, and reconciliation right now at my current job for a large financial institution. Received the top performance review level in the two years I’ve worked there. Would love to work for a Bitcoin company as that’s what I’m passionate about. Can send a resume if interested.
i don’t have enough bitcoin
they had to adjust for my solo miners coming online😎
good morning Jeff! While I don’t run a venture capital firm I can definitely relate to this feeling. I recently deleted all my socials (Reddit, X, Instagram, Snapchat) because any time I tried engaging about Bitcoin or Nostr I ended up feeling like I was talking past someone. A lot of people just aren’t there yet
2023 wasn’t really a year of hard times and low prices in the equity market. Pretty sure S&P was like +29%
one thing that concerns me with equities right now is how highly concentrated the U.S. indexes are and within that cohort the valuations are kinda ridiculous. How do you reconcile that? Does higher M2 growth justify 40+ PEs for a mega cap? Especially Apple who seems to be unable to significantly grow revenue. I just don’t see much upside but I also don’t run a hedge fund for a living. interested to hear what you think
yeah I’m saying it’s newsworthy because it’s insane how far ahead of his competition he is
