Going all in on Bitcoin was the most important decision of my life. Not for the money it would become, nor for the purpose and meaning that it would deliver to me, but because it was a decision that was truly mine.

The whole world and everyone in it has ideas of who you are suppose to be, and most of the time we conform with that in some way or another. While I did not know it at the time, I knew in my heart of hearts that Bitcoin not only had a chance to save me from a life of mind-numbing pointless work, and nihilistic existence; but more than that, it allowed for me to believe in what I saw for myself, and my own understand of it before what everyone else was telling me. It let me stand up for myself against a world that just wanted to use me and keep me in the suppressed, small role it had relegated to me. Bitcoin allowed for me to decide something else against this system that could not see the light and love that I really am.

This decision came from my own strong conviction within myself that I knew from the deepest levels within me. Even though it seemed crazy, irrational, and like it wouldn’t work to everyone else; just like most major decisions that can change your life for the better, I knew it was what I had to do for myself. There are no other people who can make these kind of decisions for you, and that is why they are them in their lives and you are you in your life. Only you can make the decision for yourself about how your life is going to be, where you are going to put your energy and how you are going to save yourself against a world that wants to exploit you like a machine, and give you worthless paper in exchange for it. You can choose something else now, but that decision is on you alone.

While I cannot promise that you’ll get rich from Bitcoin, or even that it will be a profitable decision with your timing of the markets, you will learn to have a new kind of conviction and faith in yourself which is a kind of wealth in its own right. You will learn that you can decide to take a risk on your own thoughts and decisions, and that is worth something in and of itself.

Just some food for thought going into 2025.

Gab is also a free speech platform. As far as I know they've never bowed down to any censorship request.

nostr changed the way i think about the internet

in evidence of behavior it was the first platform i felt i could post authentically over catering to some trend or algorithm

there’s so much fun and love of humanity to be had here

it can be frustrating at times to wait for the world to catch on

but for what are we waiting? we’re in our bag. this platform rules. onward 🫡

WOW IM AN IDIOT THIS EXISTS

Bitcoin X is getting more retarded by the day

#newprofilepic

Listening to my girlfriend’s experience subletting a flat makes me realise how much of an utter shitcoin real estate is

Also, people can be absolute bastards.

She’s the kindest person I know and people just take the piss.

In short, buy btc and don’t touch real estate unless you live there or can outsource the whole thing

IF BLOCK SOMEHOW GOES OUT OF BUSINESS THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF US WITH THE APK READY TO WALK THEM THROUGH IT.

STILL STRICTLY BETTER THAN CUSTODIAL.

X is gradually getting worse because weak people are posting stupid things to get paid for engagement.

Fuckem™

This is good energy and an even better example of engaging in good faith. Respect.

STACK SATS WAS IN FACT SOLID FINANCIAL ADVICE

Are we at the point where it’s safe to setup a fedimint to onboard friends and family to Bitcoin?

I love giving away sats but I really don’t like “wasting” sats.

At least with a fedi instance you can recover people’s coins easily and when they’re ready they can withdraw them into their own custody without your help.

The problem with uncle Jim mode is it doesn’t scale with the amount of time and energy you need to spend with everyone when they have questions.

I want to be able to onboard thousands of people in a way that I know they are not going to lose their keys or their seed phrase.

It seems like with a fedi instance you can give like Santa and save like Scrooge.

How does a whole group of people agree that the iPhone came out in 2001? 🤣
