I am at a macro/commodity conference that is very popular among gold investors, and I kid you not the gentleman who runs the details of the conference is named Goldfinger.

PS - I just checked out your site and the house slippers look fantastic!

Anytime you find yourself arguing about something gender-related, for or against, stop and think about how few times this has actually happened in real life. This has become a big national political issue, but what percentage of your monthly interactions in the past year have included pronoun or similar disagreements between yourself and someone else *in person*?

Somehow, I have reached age 36 and this has not once been an issue in real life. Has it ever been an issue in your life? Unless you live in like one of four cities in the world or have the unfortunate role of being a liberal arts college professor, probably not. Let them deal with it.

Social polarization is a method of control by those with the money, so that you focus on something other than the money. They create theoretical problems to distract you from something more important.

For this decade in particular, it is important to focus on the money. Show empathy and tolerance and love and acceptance toward all, and really just be based, but focus on the money. Because that is what they are trying to distract you from, like a magician.

Anyway, good night.

I remember all those summers. We would play until our heels bled. I miss those days of wreckless wonder. We'd hang the moon and then go to bed.

if you eat a goat, do you automatically become THE GOAT?

Fear versus hope

An eternal battle inside each of us - with our thoughts and actions reinforcing the world we each see.

Fear slows/stops some people from moving towards hope, which is why it is such an effective tool for control.

But in the end, hope is more powerful because it unites us - speaks to a higher purpose.

Keep the high ground my friends!

Our choices and actions shape our future.

The govt is afraid of the general population having access to AI, so they argue to wall it off, install gatekeepers, & build in surveillance and controls for only "approved" AI tools.

But the govt SHOULD be afraid of the people. The last thing I want is the govt having access to the most advanced AI tools, which they will - and already are - using to learn how to kill and control people more effectively, while they squeal about even allowing neutered & "safe" options for everyone else. That's a recipe for tyranny.

What we need is a massive step toward *removing* the power imbalance between the people and govt, and AI is going to be a major part of that.

Starting to see some nice lifestyle photos on nostr. Gentlest touch of an Instagram vibe, but less commercial. Positive.

i should go to sleep 😅

Bedtime with my girl. She made a toy computer with some books.

I asked: “What are you working on, honey?”

“Bitcoin.”

YES. nostr:note1z4ngf7cpkc4f6q72q4fgj8sgqar4yun8k6mkwze0ddpjzsv50neqsg3ze2

What are your favorite hardware wallets, among the latest generation of them?
