Live there atm. Functions a lot better than other places but seeds of similar far left tendencies as elsewhere. Overall package hard to beat IMO, easy especially for families. Happy to share more if there are specific questions 👍
I’m hoping and guessing there are a handful more, but it looks like Elon and RFK Jr are senior members of the new admin with a moral compass that goes beyond short term personal gain. Their goals cannot be achieved without significant work, and it shows so far.
Vivek talking a big game about DOGE and now exiting before any of the work gets done is on the same scale as launching a shitcoin. Free marketing on Elon‘s back in support of the next job.
I doubt we’ve seen the end of this. But I’m still rooting for the 🇺🇸 to turn this ship around.

The flip side of it is that it helps with setting up muted phrases and accounts to have a higher signal experience going forward. Takes a lot of effort and discipline for me, but there are still a lot of good accounts on X only that I find useful and worth the effort
This resonates. Things I gravitated to in the past few years:
- Morning run 5/7 days; always outside, rain, sun, snow, doesn't matter
- Vary the run; sometimes slow, sometimes faster, sometimes intervals; 30-50 minutes; nose breathing when the pace is slow
- Intervals: used to Tabata style only but have now started experimenting; currently doing 2mins fast, 4mins slow, 4-6 reps; this has had a big impact on VO2 max; Tabatas are great but I don't always have the raw will to do them
- Doing mostly functional strength training, sometimes with a personal trainer for guidance and to learn new exercises; huge impact on my posture and overall strength despite weights that would make most people chuckle; expensive but worth every cent in my opinion
- no calories after dinner (which we eat around 630pm); breakfast after the run - makes for a natural daily fasting period of 13-15 hrs
- bfast is a shake with macadamia, cashews, spinach, 4-5 types of fresh fruit, some protein powder (only the best kind, no flavors), some creatine, camu camu berry powder (highest vitamin C content with all the other co-nutrients)
- zero sweet drinks (obviously), including pressed juices
Hard to make this work if you work in the big corporate hamster wheel but I don't 😀

#Bitcoin is the great curiosity filter. It will disproportionately reward those who don’t simply go through the motions.
I’m writing this because I keep getting asked to comment on Saylor/Saif video even though my position hasn’t changed.
The natural state of the free market is deflation which means all prices fall forever in Bitcoin (assuming it stays decentralized and secure)
Free market economies are more productive meaning faster deflation (or real wealth gains by falling prices)
That system is incompatible with an inflationary monetary system meaning one of those systems must fail.
Either:
1) A system based on truth, hope, and abundance for all 8 billion people on the planet driven by a free market economy and all prices fall relative to bitcoin forever. This means Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange and freedom tech spreads to the world through lightning, Liquid, Fedimint, Cashu, etc.
OR
2) A control system. An extractive rent seeking system that is NOT the free market (similar to the one we have had for 5000 years that resets every 100 or so years through war) continues to centralize by having you believe price of bitcoin is going up in fiat which makes the surveillance state stronger. This eventually centralizes Bitcoin - custodians, media, regulation (funded from the same manipulation of money) where it is attacked from layer 2. (Similar to gold)
While these ideas may “seem” compatible in the short term because you want Bitcoin to go up in fiat. What it really means is that you are giving your energy and strength to the system centralizing the world by converting Bitcoin to Fiat….to then measure prices.
Quite simply - If Bitcoin is only a store of value, it fails as a store of value.
Ps - It won’t fail. #1 is inevitable in time because too many (and more each day) have seen behind the curtain and are determined to build path #1.
Many of you here - the people that inspire me every day. You make a difference with every word, thought and action.
Almost did that in all caps per nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx because it’s so important.
Referring to # 1 above…..There is no second best.
I've noticed that telling people things should be getting cheaper all the time is an excellent orange pilling entry point. It's really hard to refute that - just ask them to imagine the cost of a book 2000 years ago and now. The follow-up is then to ask why it doesn't feel at all that things are getting cheaper in fiat terms. And the can of worms is open.

Well, I like this #GoingGalt thingy, obviously.

RFK's speech was touching because you can tell the guy means it. You don't need to agree with everything he says, but he's genuine, and you can tell. A bedrock of principles, a moral compass, and a vision for the future. The polar opposite of nearly all other politicians who spew engagement nonsense for personal gain.
To me, this is the closest to statesman-like behavior I have seen in a long time. Whether you're left, right, center this is worth watching.

Have met so many people who blame lack of success for unlucky timing. Have met very few who attribute their own success to lucky timing.
So grateful that our bureaucrats are reassuring us the real world is run by them. Hit that keyboard and “fix” things 😂
#Bitcoin devs are my decentral bankers 🙏
