you know it will. its not a pea pie game anymore

Middle class af. Not trying to spend what I've managed to acquire.

This is some of your best work Mads. 👍

I think I agree with you then. Women just seem to like therapy for some reason and since I am not a woman I don’t presume to tell women therapy is probably not the answer they are looking for. With men though I’m sure I’m right 9/10 times.

Everyone alive is a bitcoin OG if you think about it.

The normie texts have begun. Buckle up.

How tf am I supposed to work today?

Is that not enough 😆

only slept 4 hrs but I just had an espresso

should I join the zapstream tn y/n

As I'm sure many of you are aware already, Israel executed an attack on thousands of Hezbollah members in Lebanon earlier today. At the moment, it looks like Israel successfully waged a supply chain attack on the pagers used by Hezbollah members. Intercepting the devices and placing highly explosive material on the batteries that could be triggered remotely by raising the temperature of the batteries.

To my knowledge, this is the first time an attack of this nature and of this scale has ever been waged. This is a very serious and dangerous precedent that should make anyone reading this think long and hard about the ramifications of the normalization of this type of warfare.

It's not clear to me yet whether this is exactly what happened, but this seems to be where all of the reports are pointing. And when you consider the scale of this operation, it is hard to think of alternative ways that this could have been achieved outside of corrupting the supply chain of this particular pager. Regardless, the die has been cast and remote detonation attacks in crowded civilian areas has been battle tested as an appropriate war tactic.

Not only does this set a terrible precedent for war, but it also begs the question; if they can do something like this with a relatively dumb pager, how much damage could they do with something like an iPhone? How vulnerable are the billions of people who hold smartphones in their pockets, or drive internet connected electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries? How trivial was it for Mossad to gain access to these devices and at what part of the supply chain? Now that this attack has been deemed to be "on the table" how long will it take before others begin to wage similar attacks?

War tactics and their costs are rapidly changing right before our eyes. The war between Russia and Ukraine is showing that low cost drones strapped with bombs can be very effective weapons that can do damage to military equipment worth anywhere between tens of millions to billions of dollars. The Houthi rebels have used cheap drones to completely disrupt the Suez Canal for the better part of a year. The world has only seen the tip of the iceberg in regards to how this type of technology can be used at scale to tip the leverage of power towards those with less financial resources, but a willingness to engage in kinetic conflict. Some of these drones are strapped with thermite flame throwers!

Now that new information has been brought to the market - you can turn pagers and (likely) cellular phones into a network of improvised explosive devices via a software push that increases the temperature of the devices' batteries - it is only a matter of time before others figure out how to do it and begin using these tactics themselves. War machines have never been easier and cheaper to deploy. In a world that is becoming increasingly fractured and angry, this is absolutely frightening. Asymmetric warfare as predicted in the Sovereign Individual is upon us.

As it relates to bitcoin hardware, these attacks highlight that an attack that has been long talked about in the industry but not yet exploited to the best of our knowledge is very real. Supply chain attacks, particularly on bitcoin signing devices that store private key information, have just been proven to be very possible by motivated state actors. If a nation state wanted to somehow "prove" that bitcoin is insecure or figure out a low effort way to do a mass confiscation of bitcoin all they have to do is successfully attack the supply chain of a hardware manufacturer, corrupt the devices, and let them flow to the hands of individuals who believe they are securing their bitcoin in the best way possible.

The best way to mitigate this risk is to hold you bitcoin in a multi-sig wallet using a quorum of keys produced by different hardware produced by different manufacturers. Companies like Unchained make this process as seamless and possible and supply chain attacks like the one that was laid bare today highlight why these collaborative custody models are so important. Especially if you are holding a large amount of wealth in bitcoin.

This is a sad day for the world. I'll be praying for peace and sanity to prevail.

Final thought...

That was a terrible loss by the Birds.

It’s insane to think that we reached a stage where discernment is so needed. But that’s where we are…

So easily distracted.

So easily influenced.

• Most people won’t notice, won’t stop to question - if the array of news or events coming at them is important, engineered or true.

• They’re victims of propaganda and gaslighting and victims of their circumstances.

• Most people are oblivious to the aggressive, sophisticated mind control operations taking place on them.

• They have two washing machines at home:

🧺 A clothes washing machine,

📺 And a brain-washing machine (the TV/mainstream media).

So easily distracted.

So easily influenced.

• Slow down. Go inwards. Go to nature.

• Connect to yourself, your feelings are your key to the door of the mind, spirit and energy. Feel them but don’t get attached. Feel them and they shall pass.

• Observe your automatic, pre-existing beliefs. Identify those who limit you. Exercise choosing your beliefs.

• Learn to use your discernment.

• Stay vigilant, critical, questioning.

• Rediscover your intuition and reconnect to your center.

• Remember you have a spine. Redraw your boundaries.

• Open your heart, find compassion, allow yourself to break down, allow yourself to touch the pain, visit the trauma.

• Trust that you will recover and regrow.

• Trust yourself. Love yourself. Fill your space with peace.

• Express yourself and your truth.

• Acknowledge yourself, find your voice.

• If you doubt the power of your voice, just look at what they do to try and silence you.

Forget about twenty years from now this is true today

Some would say the most famous....
