I was thinking today about how a random stranger in Nov. 2020 told me “everyone should own 1/3 of a #bitcoin “ and I thought it was crazy to put $6000 into something with “no intrinsic value”, then 6 weeks later I was fully down the rabbit hole.

It’s been a wild ride.

Seeking Hardware Wallet advice.

Someone I Orange-Pilled wants to take self custody in cold storage. He doesn't use a computer, ever, so we're looking for a device that works well with android phones.

Any advice?

It must be Bitcoin Only.

I was referring to ripping off content from other social media platforms, not referencing it at all.

Help, I'd like to report a murder

I think the point of my post is that they've actually gotten less Rich than they were in 1994. we've just gotten even poorer in comparison

I don't do a ton of dye dilligence when following new people on Nostr. It's just 2 things:

1) Bitcoin

2) Physiognomy Check

Vibes don't lie.

Things like getting a new smart tv set properly, or maintaining stable WiFi for devices throughout a home at all times, are still nontrivial tasks in the year 2025.

There’s often some friction, some gadget failing for no apparent reason, etc.

So I think we’re safe from the robot overlords for a little while more.

The NFL Salary Cap was ~$34 million when it was introduced in 1994. Today the Salary Cap is ~$260 million.

Has the NFL Salary Cap outpaced inflation?

If you use CPI to calculate the 2024 value of $34 million 1994 dollars, the answer is a MASSIVE YES.

According to CPI, $34 million in 1994 dollars is equivalent to $72 million.

According to the government, the NFL is a massive success, however...

If we use the M2 money supply growth as the proxy for inflation, things look different.

Using M2 as a proxy for inflation, $34 million 1994 dollars is equivalent to $205 BILLION.

Nearly 10x the current salary cap.

Neither of these measures is a perfect proxy for money supply growth (inflation). No one knows how many dollars exist and more can be "printed" at any time.

That said, NFL players likely make less than their 1994 counterparts.

They just seem richer because the "non-rich" have gotten poorer by comparison in the last 30 years.

I make wine, not sense.

HODL WINE

HODL BITCOIN

Mate, I'm kidding. Not that I can honestly prove it either way

Fun fact: in college I made money by being a paparazzi for a few years lol 😂

Here I am in the red shirt behind Paris Hilton

THE TRICK TO NEVER GET CAUGHT IN A LIE IS TO NEVER TELL ONE.

Love it or hate it, the Tether business model is insane.

It’s essentially a US Treasury royalty company.

People will say they hate us (maxis) because we got rich without helping the world in anyway.

This is of course stupid and wrong, but it’s not the actual reason they will hate us.

They will hate us because we stood up and declared in a single unified voice “we will not be slaves ever again”.

This makes everyone mad.

The other slaves are mad.

The masters are mad.

But we have drawn our line in the sand.

There’s no going back now.

Bitcoin changed things.

Forever.

Merry Christmas. Go save Europe.

When you become a parent suddenly your whole life passes through the eye of a needle and you come out on the other side with the clearest presence of mind and everything makes sense.

Everything that ever happened to you. Every good thing. Every bad thing. Every tragedy, triumph, heartbreak, embarrassment, misstep, painful moment… they all lead you to that specific child.

And you realize god is real.

And you vow to protect the beautiful angel he has placed in your care.

It all just clicks into focus.

It couldn’t have been any other way.

Right!! It’s insane.

Hahahaha this is amazing nostr:note1znu662wxe084c6g85e5ek05dvxz7r4vhz30urc3cvjyjm7vq4zcq3zjxqw
