I do like a lot of this. Was largely introduced to BTC through the “get-on-zero” crowd. But the volatility is a real thing when you’re paying quarterlies and supporting children or have a lot of other cash flow needs. Would be irresponsible to sweep all available cash into BTC wouldn’t it?

Also, when you have to sell the tax implications/accounting would be monstrous if that’s frequent. Right?

Lower cost basis? Minimizes volatility risk?

Gotta live some time in fiat land unfortunately too.

But given current dynamics if I came into $100k cash and didn’t need it I’d smash buy.

Also trying to bulk buy dips but really don’t watch price that much and like the peaceful stacking of DCA

So. The Orange Pill app is awesome. Was reached out to by a fellow in WY to join their meetups and I immediately see discussions about camping hangouts and selling local bison on the telegram channel. Grassroots community and economy at its finest.

Just listened today. So good I’m sharing with my bros and parents…

Knives Out on Netflix, funny, wholesome from what I remember, great suspense/twist

Well in Christian eschatology/cosmology our souls separate from the body (death) and go either to Hell, Purgatory, or Heaven based on our either our acceptance/rejection of the universal Goodness and Ground of all Being (God). If the souls desire is not perfectly united to God yet not against God then Purgatory until perfectly united to the Divine Will.

All this is a result of Man’s original sin or rejection of the Divine Will… rejecting infinite Goodness = infinite consequences.

And these are realities for the soul AND body since God created us as body/soul composites. Though only possible after the final judgment at the end of humanity. Until then body and soul must be unnaturally separate (death). Our nature is to have our body and soul united for eternity.

Woah 😳 that’s some serious gaslighting right there

“What do you ask of the Church of God?”

“Baptism.”

“Do you reject Satan, and all of his works, and all of his pomps?”

“I do.”

All ye creation, Bless the Lord.

Come on. Daily, fellas.

Such a good morning mantra.

Yeahhhh…. But it’s honestly one of the signs we look for to ensure we’ve reached therapeutic effect with testosterone supplementation for hypogonadal men. Low T men won’t have sleep related erections.

Agreed. Every word of Sacred Scripture is true.

Dogma is a 4-letter word these days but essentially means what we’ve realized to be true about the Faith from the beginning - divinely given. Gives us sure rock (petros/kepha Matt 16:18) to stand on. Though, even clergy are frequently wolves in sheep’s clothing so we must be wary. The tares with with wheat as Jesus said. Hence I am very sympathetic to what others see as dictates spouted from men of the cloth that smell to high heaven - it happens a lot and saddens me because eternal souls are lost by it. Cling to the Faith of our Fathers/Apostles/Scripture.

A good primer for you may be “The Case for Catholicism” by Trent Horn.

Godspeed, brother!

Nostr = >X.

The people here are legit.

Ok. Just a couple for example. 2 Chron 19:11.

Malachi 2:7.

But further, I’d recommend challenging the premise that “Everything we need to know about Christianity must come from the Bible.”

It is self referential. Circular. A premise that is not attested to by Sacred Scripture itself.

Whose Bible? The Jews? Even in Christ’s time they fought over the cannon. Various Christian sects? We don’t have the Letters of Clement, Gospel of Peter, Shepherd of Hermas in the Bible. But says who?

The Church, the successors of the Apostles gave us the Sacred Scriptures and the Faith wholly. It took hundreds of years to clarify but that’s how it happened. Yet I t was always there in the beginning. In seed form. A mustard seed as Our Lord tells it. The Gospel delivered to the Saints, once for all.

Matt, again, see above. Prayer and Sacrifice are different in traditional Christian understanding. Anyone can pray but only those men set apart as priests can offer sacrifice. See literally the entire Old Testament.

We don’t worship pictures/statues/saints my friend. Worship to us is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I.e. Christ’s sacrifice of Himself to God the Father on Calvary prefigured by the sacrifice of lambs at Passover and all of the Old Covenant Temple sacrifices. That’s why we have priests bc only priests offer sacrifice, again see Old Covenant.

This is ONLY for God…worship.

Prayer is different. Think old English term…”I pray thee.” To implore, to ask, simply speak to. Can be to the Holy Trinity or in asking aid of the royal court of Heaven I.e. the saints, Our Lady (see Queen Mother of the Old Testament Kings). They are our friends who preceded us in the Faith and are alive and see Almighty God face to face.

Good question. An excellent representation of certain things in the modern Church that scandalize people of good-will in my opinion. But I think it’s ‘suppose’ to be a depiction of the resurrection of Christ though also representing the anguish of modern man under the threat of nuclear war. Sure looks weird though. Sculpted in the 70s.

Re: scandal… I always recall how scandalous the apostles were and yet post receiving the Holy-Ghost they were saints! Look to the saints. They reflect the Word of God lived day-to-day.
