Getting Away With Evil

A lot of people see bad people thriving and secretly get jealous. They see altcoin creators make millions, or immoral VCs dump on retail and despise them, not so much because they're immoral, though that's the main rationalization, but because they want to get away with it, too.

You must kill those instincts with everything you have. Because that means you're also willing to sell your soul for money. It's just that you haven't had the opportunity yet.

Many OGs have gone into altcoins for this very reason. They saw Vitalik or Brad or a16z killing it with dogshit and decided to do it themselves, more out of envy than even greed. The scorn heaped on them is not as much moral than it is envious. I've seen these people, they altcoin eventually. This is not a good road to go down.

This envy is a fiat mindset. You want to get money without working hard. You want to scam people, as long as the payoff is sufficient. And you can tell there are a lot of such people, because they turn around rather suddenly and launch something that completely goes against what they said they believed.

This is sadly true of a lot of people. I don't need to name names but you know who they are. And unfortunately, we'll see a lot more of it going forward. The problem was always a moral deficiency.

Today:

• Wake up, Uber to airport at 4:30am for 6:00am flight

• Wont let us check in for no obvious reason. Need to talk to agent

• Get in line for agent behind only 5 people

• Wait in line for an HOUR

• The problem was that my home address wasn’t properly saved during ticket purchase and needed to be manually added

• Refused to print ticket because now it’s too close to the flight

• Spend another 10 minutes trying to find a new flight with 20-30 poor bastards standing in line behind us

• Get new flight for 12:40pm to Fort Lauderdale airport an hour away

• Decide to go home until then

• Get a text that it’s delayed until 4pm

• Get another text a little later that it’s delayed until 5:06pm

• Now I think we’re going back to the airport to deal with an agent to find any other flight

….

Literally unsure if we will get to Miami.

Hope you guys enjoy the conference! 🤣😅😭

Is there a step-by-step tutorial for a Lightning newbie on how to get started according to best practices (self-custody of keys) to begin sending and receiving Nostr zaps?

Altcoins will fail because their advocates have no conviction. You can tell because they're always thinking about the price at which they'll sell.

I will made Obsolete by GPT-5.

Somebody tell me that isn't going to be true.

Democracy is a great idea. We should try it sometime.
