nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2 is the absolute best Bitcoin exchange, whether it's for funding a Lightning wallet or sending sats straight to cold storage.

* Low fees: 1.2%

* Free swaps between ⚡️/on-chain

Good stuff!

A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.

In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.

I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.

I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.

I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.

So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they didn’t understand bitcoin or the market or even basic budgeting.

When people would make fun of me I would tell them why I was doing what I was doing. Then I would start peppering them with questions about their financial life.

“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”

“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”

People would generally go from laughing at me riding the moped to feeling shell shocked by me popping their bubble of comfortable delusion.

Still I drove the moped and everyone thought I was being weird and ridiculous and silly etc…

At 100k that decision was worth a million dollars.

At a million it will have been worth 10 million.

And at 10 million it will have been a nine figure decision.

100 million dollars.

I only rode the stupid moped for 8 months.

Ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for 10 million in the future?

Because there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.

My advice is to have your own moped moment.

Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.

I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

the real question is... was your wife's tuition worth that much?

I really don't know how it could play out, but I think a friendly tender offer would be the easiest and quickest path.

Saylor would need 50% + 1 of the voting shares; right now he has 45%. Interestingly, BlackRock holds 5.2%...

Then strike a deal with the USG.

Shareholders would be winners in USD terms. But the race to get back into BTC would make the price skyrocket.

Tonight is NYE.

What are your plans?

Any predictions for year 16?

oh shit. I meant that we are about to deploy more fuckery. always. forever. until... bitcoin.

Saylor is building the SBR.

1. MSTR's location is somewhat unusual: a 20-minute drive to the Pentagon.

2. MicroStrategy spawned the MSTR mafia; a few ex-MSTR employees now head billion-dollar businesses, most in the D.C. area. Odd.

3. Eric Trump's speech in Abu Dhabi, saying he has known Trump for 20 years. Hmm.

4. His reaction when probed about the possibility of an EO 6102.

5. His overall knowledge of American history, giving a major patriot vibe. One who would do anything for his country.

why not do both at the same time? efficient.

I want to use NOSTR in 2025, I got sucked into the X distraction, creator revenue sharing made it an engagement farming hell hole with no value creation.

Onward 🫡

Unfortunately, tyranny is the biggest ally of #Bitcoin and #Nostr.

There is no reason for anyone to look for an exit door if they do not feel the heat.

I was red-pilled by COVID, election interference by the FBI, mandates, Canadian truckers... Everyone's threshold is different and will be triggered by a level of tyranny. There is no other way.

If your encrypted messaging service isn't open-source, I can't trust you, and I can't root for you.

Open-source everything.

I can't see my posts on Primal, where are they going?
