On another note: dropped down from 196 lbs to 188lbs

So that's pretty neat.

Nostr seems to be where all the kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s, and all the kids who wish they could have grown up in the 80s and 90s, hang out. I love it. 😂💜

Do your best not to tell anyone how well you're doing off Bitcoin, even family

Your cousin might go to some party and be like 'yeah my cousin is huge into Bitcoin!' not realizing how it endangers you

Probably safer to talk about as a nym on nostr than with friends and family in real life tbh

#bitcoin

Im just a regular pleb with no influence on anything in this world and im totally fine with that. Im not gonna change any law or policy or who runs the country i live in.. all i know i need to stack btc every week everyday every month because wealthy people are not going save me. I dont cate who gets a job in the guberment i stack and stack hard. The next 4 years will ne like the last and ones before and the ones before tgat.

When the haters say $300,000 is impossible this cycle, remind them bitcoin has a history of rising 20x from its previous cycle bottom

When will the bitcoin haters accept they were wrong about bitcoin?

Folks like Nouriel Roubini and Keynesian economists as a whole cannot sustain the risk of accepting defeat by Bitcoin, as their entire reputation depends on an economic framework that is incompatible with Bitcoin.

If they accept bitcoin as a supior monetary medium , all of their other economic claims will be questioned and all of their models will collapse.

The simplest path forward for bitcoiners is to ignore the Bitcoin haters, who are incentivized to keep their heads in the sand.

Everyone gets bitcoin at the price they deserve.

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

Sooooo many bitcoiners are fucking up by either ignoring nostr or copy and paste posting here

There will be regrets.

Last day in #kona. Watched the sunset from #maunakea last night. Very special indeed.

The slope on the left is #maunaloa the tallest mountain in the world.

👋 can't wait to return to Italy 😍😍
