I just want to see a “Bitcoin doesn’t GAF” meme with this
Don’t ask me to show my work. I had fish tacos for dinner.
What do you call a derivative of shit?
Shit.
@Alby appears to have responded to this sentiment. I just got an email about monthly hosting price adjustments to account for the recent pump. Good on them for having their finger on the pulse of the community.
Experiences over “things”.
And, with regard to family, all I can say in my experience is that marriage and family is like a roller coaster. Sometimes exhilarating. Sometimes scary. Full of ups and downs. You just have to decide if you want to ride or not.
You will be tested. You will be rewarded. But for certain your character and your resolve will be forced to improve lol.
Happy Birthday! Stay healthy, and keep growing! Ever shrink your circle of concern, and ever expand your circle of influence.
Take responsibility for the defence of your self, your property and those in your household, both with and without force.
Yes nothing beats a little Mini stand-on Bobcat with a grapple. And so versatile with other attachments, including a stump grinding attachment. Out of my price range, but the one at work is going to be useful someday. A real back saver.
Here’s a map for a Bitcoin education curriculum that I wrote. Feel free to utilize parts of it if you’re seeking to educate people about acquiring and storing the corn 🌽.
Just be smart and make sure your own security is figured out. Distribute your keys. Distribute your stack. Distribute your signing devices. Don’t keep them at home. Have duress codewords with key holders and decoy key holders. Square your family away about protecting your home.
Module 1) Introductory Session 1-2 Hours: Get to know your mentee, answer any general questions, discuss their goals and where they are at in their Bitcoin studies.
Module 2) Basic Computer/Phone Hardware Suitability and Skills Assessment (Multi-Session As Needed): Identify any shortcomings in their computer hardware or understanding of basic computing, and come up with a plan to address them. Subsequent sessions in this module can include improving the student’s phone and computer hardware setup, setting up reliable data backup capabilities, and getting software downloaded and installed on their PC and mobile device that will permit them to view and manage their assets, create transactions for sending and receiving Bitcoin, minimize fees, and back up any important data.
Module 3) Interacting With Bitcoin Exchanges (Multi-Session As Needed): Establishing Bank Account Links for Funding Exchange Accounts, Making Bitcoin Purchases, Selling Bitcoin, Moving Funds Back to Your Bank, Moving Bitcoin Off the Exchange Into Self Custody. In these sessions you can point the student toward a couple of Bitcoin exchanges, and show you the basic mechanics for changing fiat dollars into Bitcoin, selling Bitcoin to change it back into fiat, and withdrawing Bitcoin to self custody so they alone control it.
Module 4) Acquiring, Setting Up And Backing Up First Signing Devices (Hardware Wallets). Multi-Session As Needed: Here we cover the pros and cons of various signing devices that are on the market so the student can make their own decision about which of the many models is right for them. Then, once they have a hardware wallet, you can recommend ways for the student to back up their keys in ways that are not susceptible to loss, damage or theft. You can also cover ways to link phones and desktop software to view hardware wallet balances, create transactions, manage various sized chunks of Bitcoin, and sign transactions.
Additional Modules: So as not to overwhelm the individual with everything all at once, suffice it to say that mastery of the concepts in first 4 modules, aimed at making the student a self sufficient Bitcoin holder, will open their eyes to enough new concepts and skills that by the time they are actively building their Bitcoin stack, the student will already be thinking about other topics that you can cover. Things like advanced security models, succession and estate planning for your Bitcoin stack, how to integrate Bitcoin payments into your business, second layer technologies, node running, tax and accounting strategies, and how to self direct their education in the Bitcoin space. You can show the student how to run their own copy of the Bitcoin Core software and confirm their own transactions on the network, and even how they can get their feet wet on Bitcoin mining and Layer 2’s.
Even if you end up simply using this for a roadmap to assist family or genuinely interested and committed, relatively technical people you come across, it’s one path anyway. Plus an opportunity to recommend hundreds of hours of reading material and audio.
I don’t orange pill people anymore. I’m going to let my life be the proof. But at least if I do meet the odd person who already “gets it”, I can help them along the path.
GN all 🤙🏽

Thanks. Have a good evening 🤙🏽
The strategic supply is growing. This is just mainly intended to have on hand as emergency rations until we start cycling the older goods out. So there is some conspicuous, packaged, “fiat food” on the upper shelves. But if the grocery stores ever close or we get debanked, or they try springing bullshit digital ID’s and CBDC’s on us, we won’t be picky.
It has taken two and a half years, but between this and the contents of two freezers, the fridge, stored water, the contents of the water heater, another 5000 gallons of slow filtration capability, a generator, stored fuel, 200lb of propane bottles, boxes of ammo and three months’ worth of split firewood, I’ve basically achieved the goal of accumulating a three month reserve for our family if shit goes sideways.
Now all we have to do is let Bitcoin rip for another 5 years and get it all recreated outside of the village onto a modest homestead. Or better yet, out of this country.
I’m sure Trudeau is trying to figure out a way to take a third of this too. Capital gains on stored assets or some shit like that lol.
Our government’s and the banks’ conduct over the last 4 years has just made us dig in harder.
We will not fucking comply.

It really creeps the fuck out of me that every time I spend 12 hours of run time imaging all the drives on my Windows PC using the same utility that I’ve used forever, Windows delivers an update within a day.
I am extremely mistrustful of Windows already and I’m not even running 11. Nor will I.
I can’t wait to ditch Microsoft for good.

Another pressure canning project complete. This one stands to be a little more of a treat than just squash or potatoes….Beef Stew! Seven ready made meals on the shelf, ready to heat and serve, up to two years from now. And no consumption of fridge/freezer space. Amazing what you can learn online from all those homesteaders that came before us, and from the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving.

The value of the asteroid Psyche may exceed several times the global GDP.
This is a visualization of a future where asteroids are colonized for extracting their precious resources.

And the top 1% will still be hoarding 99.9% of the wealth and suppressing human flourishing.
Great but the fiat denominated monthly sats cloud hosting price has definitely gone up a bit this week. :)
