GM, Nostr…..
…….to those in the frozen midwest, Caseys seems to have free coffee all month. At least that helps.
I’m glad he stepped forward and changed his ways - some go to their grave without doing so.
But ‘brave’ would have been doing so under the outgoing adminstration.
Restaurants need to stop treating FB as their website.
I travel often for work, and it is beyond frustrating.
Yes, I am pointing directly at my brother’s restaurant, above all, lol
All comes back to the money, plus the mis-allocation & misaligned incentives it engenders.
Prayers for all those affected.
As a once young male (ie: mistake factory), I concur & attest
Yep. And if you are debt free already, stack harder!
Just before my son was born - so late fall of 2007 - I went to the Loyalist Islands in the Bahamas. No TV, no alarm clock. When I got home, I cancelled everything. Best thing I ever did.
GM, all ☕️🥶❄️
GM Stu! ☕️
Woke up to light snow here, too.
X’er here. I’m a dad, but I respect the moms with the beautiful families way more than the party girls- you all are building the future.
To your last point, though, this conversation keeps coming up with my 40-50 something acquaintances. We’re all sandwiched, as you describe. At the same time, a lot of us are also starting to do quite well materially (not all bitcoiners, either). From the conversations I’m having, most of us aren’t going to keep working till 80 (our fathers), nor go sit on a beach/golf course at 65. Most of us plan to start stepping back, ditching the 9-5, but planning to be healthy, and long living, get paid to do things we truly love. At some point, not even being too concerned whether it is paid or volunteered. I hope we’re right.
Sorry for the novel

I haven’t watched much CNBC - or TV for that matter - for the past 15 years. From the bits I do occassionaly happen to see (my boomer parents keep TVs running like they are required for electricity to work 🙄😂), Joe has gotten almost as real as Rick ‘Tea Party’ Santelli!
Apart from my wife, I have no bitcoiners in meatspace to relate this to, so I’m just gonna leave this here. No one will probably read it, but I just want to get this off my chest. Who knows, maybe it will do some good and inspire someone.
I think one of the most underestimated aspects of bitcoin is how it secretly spills over into other parts of your life. Yes, bitcoin is money in the digital age, yes, it’s a finite black hole that will absorb other asset classes, yes, inflation is theft, yes, it can make a median income earner a massive millionaire when done right. But the most underrated aspect in my eyes, and this is propagated by fellas like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, is it made me realize how insanely valuable my time is.
When this realization occurred, I made it my number one priority to optimize for my time. So while working the fiat mines for the better part of the last decade, every time I earned a promotion or got a better job, my aim was not to earn more, but spend less time earning the same.
Yes, I could have spent more time in the mines and easily earned 2x of what I did, bought more of the coin with said earnings and be a rich fella with a much bigger car and a much bigger house by now, but you know what? Fuck that!
In stead, I got to be there for my parents, my wife and my kids, take care of them, watch them grow, do volunteer work in the local community, and pursue my hobbies, all while showing the kids that it’s OK to work for a living and contribute to society, and that it’s not normal to get retirement-rich off some crazy bet in your younger years.
Understanding the value of my time, thanks to studying bitcoin, was a life altering moment for me, and I am forever grateful for this realization. No amount of money, bitcoin or otherwise, is worth this lesson learned and the life and experiences it provided.
Who knows, with this in mind, you can look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the extremely confrontational question: what am I doing with my time?!
Thank you for this.
I second the idea of backup passports - btw, if you have a grandparent or parent born in Ireland, you have a path.
If I ‘owe’ $1 million, why do I need to reveal access to $124 million? I mean, clearly I’m good for it.

Fair point. Same for 99% of any elites.
Slightly above you - $250-$300k
Partially why Hank Scorio keeps coming to mind, when I think of Saylor…..

Back to the fiat mines for me, and back to school for the teens.
Stay humble, stack sats
