Writing the Great American Bitcoin Novel πŸ“šπŸ§‘βœοΈ

Got any tips for a first time father-to-be?

Our little guy should be here in less than two months πŸ™Œ ❀️

It's fascinating how much people map the way one technological revolution happened to each subsequent one.

A prime example being investment in the entire "crypto space" or making analogies of "bitcoin as myspace".

First principle style reasoning is critically important with each and every one of these world shaking innovations. I personally am optimistic how it all shakes out πŸ§‘πŸ“ˆ

I think it's valuable, specifically in your situation. So many people that come into this space see you as a thought leader.

Still being able to get that message out over there is a net positive, plus then you act as a bridge for those of them not yet on Nostr.

tfw you see your boy Odell posting on Nostr over Twitter, reminind you to stay forever humble and stack sats πŸ’œβš‘οΈπŸ§‘

That's one of the great things about this place. A thread of positivity and kindness runs through its core. ❀️

I have faith this will positively impact the culture here indefinitely.

Congrats friends! My first is due in less than two months β€οΈπŸ™Œ

Absolutely πŸ’―

For the first time in my life I've been able to experience pure ownership. True financial freedom.

The feeling is intoxicating and changed my relationship to all other forms of "ownership".

🧑⚑️🧑

Twitter: A system where the value accrues to to a centralized party.

Nostr: A system where value accrues directly to the creators.

Eventually, everyone will come to realize how profound this idea is. We are all so early here.

Happy to hear you finished strong! What did you end up breaking it with?

My wife and I just did the ChatGPT movie recommendation thing.

It asked us several questions about movie taste, and we answered together. Then it spit out four movies. 3/4 we had seen and loved, the last we just watched and truly enjoyed.

Frankly a little blown away right now, that was infinitely better than a Netflix algorithm!

Wait.... what?

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

So weak

What if someone created a sneaky roundabout way to share ideas publicly?

πŸ˜πŸ’œβš‘οΈ

It'd be a real shame if I was to zap you a few more times then 😏🧠πŸ’₯

Bone broth is perfect!

I have done really small keto meals to break it, then wait a little bit longer before you have a full sized meal.

If you are doing carbs, I'd keep them relatively low fiber and extremely digestible since it can be a lot in your system initially πŸ™‚

Good luck! (Though you won't need luck) You got this ❀️❀️❀️

Better! The first chunk of it hardest, everything post 48 hours is usually smooth sailing for me. I feel laser focused and get tons of shit done πŸ’ͺ
