Maybe social media is the problem...

Might try out IRL again.

a man has nothing without his principles. i’ll sacrifice everything offered to me if it means i can die either way my principles intact

I have had 5 journalists/networks reach out to me over the past few days all wanting to discuss $TRUMP coin. Some explicitly said they were looking for a positive take on it, hoping to better understand the trend and culture surrounding meme coins. When I explained to them that I’d instead like to discuss how Bitcoin is different and how I’m concerned about the investors who buy into the meme coin hype, they all said they will pass on having me for the show/piece they’re working on. We have a long way to go….

Random factoid:

For most businesses and--especially--governments, #debt isn't paid off, it is rolled forward.

Paying off debt is counterproductive and actually injurious to a credit-based, Keynesian economic system.

It is not the goal, and it never has been... despite the rhetoric.

As an aside, things will function very differently once #Bitcoin inevitably becomes the global reserve asset and global reserve currency over the coming decades.

Just got done playing tag for an hour with my kids while my wife worked out. Highlight reel is as follows.

1) While we were sitting resting one of my daughters slipped up under my arm. When I looked at her she smiled and said, "I love you, Daddy!"

2) My oldest son faked me out by doing a reverse rotation behind a bathroom and hiding behind a tree.

3) My youngest son was determined to be grumpy but couldnt resist the fun and was giggle his head off by the end.

4) They my second oldest daughter was constantly complimenting everyone on their speed and was protecting the littles from getting tagged by sacrificing herself.

5) My wife won't get away from me now.

At this moment, I couldn't care less about #btc. It's just a means to this end.

It's the people who don't think minorities are intelligent who believe minorities need special treatment.

It's bigotry of low expectations.

People are essentially saying, "these minorities are retarded & they will be poor forever if we don't help them."

The US is a good example a place where the smallest govt to ever exist resulted in the greatest production of wealth to ever exist.

There are people who claim that this wealth was built on slavery, but the south was historically poorer than the north. Real wealth creation is the result of innovation & trade, not slavery.

If slavery WAS the source of wealth then why isn't North Korea extremely wealthy today? Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Why did Mao's China collapse? These places have had more direct slavery than any other groups in history.

Government is the slavery promoting institution we need to reduce.

PSA:

The answer is "no."

The Fed should print $30 trillion and buy XRP. It's the best way to kill multiple birds with one stone: the Fed, the US federal government, the USD, and XRP. I want every single retarded market participant in the world to own as much XRP as possible

Middle management is being on the hook for standards that you did not set and being accountable for work that you ultimately won't do. This is a common fiat trap. Be smart, stack #btc.

Has any institution been more detrimental and destructive to human flourishing throughout history than nation state governments and their monopolies on violence?

It’s time to reimagine government in the increasingly decentralized Digital Age.

Changes are afoot...

It's pretty wild, but for the sixth time in 2024, my small friends and family hedge fund (Vailshire Partners LP) received an award from BarclayHedge as the monthly top performing Multi-Strategy hedge fund in the world... most recently in November 2024.

Here's the full list:

#1 in November 2024

#1 in October 2024

#1 in September 2024

#1 in July 2024

#1 in May 2024

#1 in March 2024

#1 in October 2021

Also, according to BarclayHedge, Vailshire Partners LP "is ranked #7 for June in the Multi-Strategy - Past Three Years sector." -- I anticipated that our fund will move higher once the past six month's results are included in the rolling three-year averages.

Shout-out to #bitcoin for being the primary driver of my fund.

This is not a flex... But, rather, it's yet another wake-up call to my fellow fund managers to at least consider Bitcoin as a superior alternative to traditional financial investments.

Also, this is not a solicitation to invest, as only Accredited Investors and Qualified Clients may be included as fund investors.

Anyway, GM.

…With only my fiat hedge fund.

Re-retirement from healthcare… hopefully this time it will stick. 😂

Today was (hopefully) my last day working as a physician.

All in on #Bitcoin, my hedge fund, and #nostr for the foreseeable future. 👀

Hopefully this time the retirement from #radiology will stick. 😂

Onwards. ⚡️

Anti-Homeschooler getting owned

#bitcoin has helped me to understand that I'm not an entrepreneur. I have tried for so long to start businesses but only because I saw business ownership as the only path to escape fiat economic gravity. There is a very good chance that building a business during this economic phase shift is like building on shifting ground and even people that are successful often have to compromise their values, health, family, or spiritual life. Now that my stack is snowballing, I'd much rather make a good wage doing technical skill work and just stack sats. I've got five young kids and a marriage that I need to focus on in this early season of life. Bitcoin has freed me to enjoy my work and family in a balanced way. Thank God for entrepreneurs and thank God for bitcoin.

You beat me to this post almost verbatim! Haha. I am the highest earner in my family and love going to work most days... if only there wasn't traffic.
