Don’t overthink. Mostly it’s about being in the moment.
Assuming you’re taking a flight, which is so stressful!, I’ll offer for the record that not long ago I was seated on a flight next to a woman with an infant. I immediately told her “if your baby gets fussy on this flight I want you to know that my only thought is ‘thank god it’s not mine this time’, so no judgment.’”
4-year cycle is broken. We’re all learning to adjust, maybe?

Bitcoin cycles may be broken, but Oil is always in fashion. WTI Crude up on the week, at 82,422 sats per barrel. Ooh la la, tres chic! Hydrocarbons are so hot right now!

Fact-Check:
The first iPhone marketed in July 2007.
(Which shocks me, because it “feels” much earlier.)
Bitcoin is not progressing on the proverbial “S-Curve” faster than the iPhone.

For the sake of conversation:
Trump will not #endthefed.
He is making this plain in his ardent support of Israel.
He can dam-up the money laundering into Dem pockets by leashing Western NGOs, but Israel is the ultimate spigot of the laundry. 100’s of Billions in Fed funds flow into Israel so that 100’s of millions flow back into D.C.
The Fed funds the swamp, and it will not be drained by this administration.
And probably not the next either.

If Russia & Bolivia were buying West Texas Crude Oil in Bitcoin this morning, they’d be putting 78,167 sats per barrel into the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. LFG!!!

I have:
2 nodes running (after a migrate from 1 failed node) for 4+ years…
2 to 4 miners running to various pools (depending on season) for 3+ years
And I CANNOT FUCKING FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET 4000sats OFF A BLUE WALLET ON MY PHONE!!! (after an umbrel node imploded).
I’m waffling rn between “are you batshit O’Dell!?!”
and
“oh actually, yeah, it’s all the same submarine…”
U haz italics!?!
Data was communicated recently that has world-changing, fundamentally frame-breaking potential.
Does this data also have verifiable chain-of-custody on immutable blockchain?
Or we still just ok going with the vibe….
Past 25 years, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller version). A perfect film.
25+ years, Rob Roy. One of the finest movies ever made, and Tim Roth is the most memorable villain I’ve ever seen.

Oil is up in fiat, down against Bitcoin. WTI Crude Oil sits at 78,391 sats per barrel. It’s going down forever, Laura.

Nostrovia & GM!
That “there are 50+ million Millionaires and only 21 million whole Bitcoin” is a truly fiat narrative.
I’d urge Bitcoiners to let it go.
Those people had their chance. Destiny wishes to shed them, not include them.
Sincere question:
My fiancee has a beautiful Labradoodle, an amazing animal. Perfect dog for our small town life.
I’ve run into a disagreement however, in that I let her (the fiancee) know from the outset that I won’t pick-up dog poop.
Background: I’ve raised two children prior, and had no problem changing diapers all the way through. I’m not above getting my hands dirty for anything with the people I love.
I’ve also raised many breeds of animals, and theres always many degrees of messiness involved in that, which I’ve never questioned.
But I let her know early on that I won’t pick up dog poop.
And that’s become a bit of an issue between us recently.
I’m an accomplished person, yet very humble, imo. I have and will do whatever it takes to make my love’s life better, and our wonderful dog’s life better.
But I won’t pick up dog poop.
I don’t want to make it someone else’s problem either, but I also wouldn’t have a dog if I had to pick up the poop. This amazing animal serves no need in my regard, but gives fundamental emotional support for the woman I love. I stated early on that I will embrace this wonderful animal, but if it poops on walks, it’s hers to pickup.
That “understanding” is getting push-back. But I feel strongly I want to stand my ground.
I will not pickup dog poop if I don’t wish to.
Helpful Responses?
Sociopathic personalities represent only about 5% of the population. Yet they are existentially driven to become the Top 5%.
They are not Legion, but they surround you.
The sociopath’s Chief Feature is revealed in that that they will never sincerely say “I’m sorry, I was wrong”.
(Until that’s what they have to say to get you back into their game).
It’s fundamental to understand: the Sociopath doesn’t care whether you like them or hate them, they only CRAVE controlling you. They NEED to push your buttons - better or worse - and get a response. If you don’t respond, they will continually escalate.
What is the endgame? Like all of us, there is no goal to satisfy the hole inside them. This is why they respect other sociopaths who control them, and live for the day when they will be allowed to control without answering. Hence they are drawn to Politics and Power.
More important is to realize that what they cannot allow is for you to walk away from their game. Read this twice.
The sociopath doesn’t care if you like them or hate them. What they CANNOT allow is for you to consider them irrelevant, pitiful. This is their core-wound. They know they are irrelevant, pitiful.
Bitcoin is not the Answer to Humanity’s incessant subjugation to sociopathy. But it is a profound and fundamental tool for discovering a key we’ve never sensed or recognized.
Understanding Bitcoin is not our ultimate goal, imho, as a species.
Understanding Sociopathy Itself is what Bitcoin unlocks. And as every Maxi here can attest, once we understand that, there is no going back.
The sociopaths become irrelevant and pitiful, because we’ve walked away from them.
Maxis: The Bitcoin network is decentralized, buys/sells of the underlying token are beyond manipulation since there can be no double-spend.

Utah To Become First State To Ban Fluoride In Drinking Water
“While Wyoming hasn’t passed a statewide ban on adding fluoride to tap water, some communities like Casper, Evanston, and Thermopolis have enacted their own. Utah voted this month to eliminate fluoride in drinking water, the first statewide ban in the nation.”
I personally did a deep dive on this years ago, and what I learned was that topical Fluoride application DOES seem to prevent cavities - likely because it kills bacteria - yet it serves no beneficial purpose when ingested. Likely because it is poisonous. The mining industry promoted adding this waste run-off product in our drinking water.
