I'm so pumped for today's episode with nostr:npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq 🔥

We had a lovely evening chat about Bitcoin P2P apps, KYC, conspiracies, and which books are the best to read.

Happy to stumble upon this episode! Also a huge Widespread Panic (and Phish) fan.

Went to a Bisco NYE at the Tower (2010?) nostr:npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq but came away with a similar sentiment as nostr:npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g haha. Cheers!

Every great investor speaks to intuition and emotional regulation as a differentiator that was critical to their success.

The ability to quiet the mind is key. I believe everyone has intuition but some are unable to access it due to constant discursive thinking (as mentioned in replies to HODL’s note).

Two methods I know of that help:

- consistent meditation practice

- psychedelics

If you run your own node, you can send it directly there. Seed phrase backup and everything.

On chain funds can then be spent to open channels, purchase inbound liquidity, whatever suits you. This is a hot wallet so understand the tradeoffs and risks. It’s a dive, but this is a decent starting point.

Wanted to challenge myself this year and write more, and had time to think about friendships in general. Here are some of my thoughts.

On the topic of friendship and making friends: If you are someone who struggles to keep friendships going or making friends, regardless of your age category, this note may help you. First, there is nothing wrong with having few good real friends and not being part of a large group. There could be a ton of reasons why you struggle with maintaining friendships or creating new ones, e.g., constantly moving from place to place, not having enough free time to maintain relationships, or not finding common interests and diverse enough backgrounds to stay engaged.

In my experience, all friendships start with trust. You need to either be the one making the first step (which comes with risks), or, ideally, both of you extend a "token of trust" to each other. Once you have this "bridge of trust" in place, you can work on it together to build it further. As long as you are able to maintain the trust between each other and are able to "test" the trust and confirm it from time to time, you should be good.

Friends should be people with whom you can share bad and good news, and be able to reciprocate without reservations. If you find yourself drained and at a low energy state, your friendship should be able to help you recharge. If you are not able to recharge, then perhaps the friendship is not mutually beneficial and being reciprocated.

One more aspect of a good friendship is selflessness. When you "give," you should never expect anything in return, and your expectations should be adjusted accordingly. Ideally, this will work well when your friendship is in good health and both of you are of the same mind.

Lastly, to find new friends, you should be able to put yourself out there and step out of your comfort zone. It's OK if it is uncomfortable at times or feels awkward or embarrassing. If your goal is to make more meaningful connections in life and find like-minded individuals, then you'll have to also work on yourself to be able to achieve it.

In the end, there is nothing wrong with having only a few friends (or none if that is your thing) and enjoying their company; not everyone has to be well connected or surrounded by a lot of friends. You do you, and make your own path in life. 🫡🫂(we still love you for what you are)

Well said 👏🏼

Bitcoin will force countries to treat their citizens like customers and compete for their economic value.

Just as the founding fathers of the United States intended.

The ability to freely move capital across borders is underrated.

Almost every bitcoiner I know has stopped trying to orange pill people. Why? Because it never works. Saylor’s at this point. If you come at him clueless or in bad faith, fuck off. He’s selling debt at 0% and a premium convertible because bonds are dying. Negative real rates… no one wants to own more debt that inflates away. And inflation is the only tool left to enable any of the global debt to be paid off. This is the speculative attack Bitstein wrote about in 2014. Amazing tbh.

Bitcoin is now being purchased with fresh dollars straight from the debt window. Saylor is exchanging bad money for good right in front of everyone. And he doesn’t have to sell anything to do it. Brilliant

Oh, and GM

Bullshit. Some things are objectively true. Like gravity or individual self interest

I saw that! A lot of items sold since I last checked in. Cream eventually rises to the top - glad awareness has risen surrounding your work

It’s time for MAGA to evolve into MEGA. Make everything great again.

Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my life--all of it. Each any every minor details that has created who I am, and my thrown life into this world. It is a complex and complete tale of how I am to become who I am suppose to be, and I am here for it. Despite the fact that most of my life I feel less-than, incapable, and incompetent about what is before me; there are moments into which infinity unveils itself just for the shortest of all durations and I can see it, I can see it all, and it is the face of God showing itself for the briefest of moments. But in those moments that all else is defined, and that the whole of who I am is realized in the flash of an instant; the entirety of my being is consolidated into one, and I am so thankful for what it is, and what I have been given. I can see each and every beautiful monad that is the path of my life towards who I am and the majesty of who I will become.

Much of that becoming is only through my understanding of what Bitcoin is, what it represents in our world of today, and how it will allow for us to save humanity from the clutches of evil that are growing more powerful with each passing day. Bitcoin is not about money in any contemporary sense; but the birth of a new kind of law for all of humankind and into all of the known future for humanity. It is the one and only law that has always stood before time and always has and always will outlast the temporality of any being for what it really is: Aletheia. Speaking to this essence that I know to be Bitcoin is the task that I have been chosen for, and what I am most thankful for on this day.

All people everywhere now have a form of law that can keep their wealth and property secured forever no matter what, and it is through the protocols of self sovereignty that Bitcoin as a social contract of what the being is through cryptography it represents. Bitcoin may now become our sacred value and relic that bonds all of us into the ethos of time itself, and what it means to be a human being on our planet today, and moving forward for all of human time. Only with Bitcoin have we discovered a new kind of law that is beyond the legality of any nation-state, and its armies of lawyers, bureaucrats and politicians; all who seek to make infinite war against everlasting peace, and enforce and invisible system of power, surveillance and control against all beings everywhere, forever. In short, fiat money is evil, and it must be destroyed.

To destroy this evil system of surveillance, control, and domination is the most holy of all tasks of our time, and is a spiritual calling that many already have been called to. At this very time there are thousands that hear the call and are discovering for themselves the truth of the task before us all and what it means to be called to that.

I am thankful for the task that I have personally been call towards to educate my people on the task of cryptosovereignty and the power to which each and every being may now hold to honor, respect, cherish, and dignify the one and only law will redeem us all from our fallen world and the sinister fate that we all have become ensnared within. We are to unveil the the laws of the universe together and the infinite capacity of cryptography to protect the knowledge of what is mine and what is yours for all peoples everywhere, forever. No matter their station of birth, creed of religion, color of their skin, or any other identifying feature; we may all now use the shield of cryptography to protect ourselves from anyone else who may seek to harm us through the very knowledge of who we are.

To show people this secret is a most beautiful and sacred task that only the seekers shall know. It is a knowledge of what the future will become when it is freed from the avarice and slavery of moderninty and all of its appendages of death and power that seek to make us into slaves who are little more than flesh based machines for the free rape and exploitation of whatever powers there may be. What we see is the light and agency within each and every being to now choose a new and better existence for all through banishing the last vestiges of slavery that we call fiat money and all of the tentacles that come from that evil lie. It is an existence of purpose, drive, and calling that allows for a radical new world to be unveiled that needs you to help create it.

Bitcoin needs your help show the world that understanding this is a most blessed and sacred of tasks. It is something that shall be remembered for all of human time to come for it represents the moment that humanity as one group of peoples finally stood up to take their place in history to be the final liberators of the individual from the oppression of the collective forever. Each being may now choose for themselves alone what system they will choose to create and support, or which they will be enslaved to and forced to serve. There will always only be one truth against any infinate number of lies their may be, and it is our task to expose the world to what this means, and how the return towards The Truth as Aletheia and how that shall set all of us free.

No longer must we tolerate the lies of fiat money and the world it has created, nor will we continue to allow for the illegal, unconstitutional, and unethical wars that so guilefully and obtusely contort and control the money of the whole world to kill and enslave our brothers and sisters everywhere. Now is the time that we may rise to the task of freeing ourselves and our posterity from the yoke of fiat money and what it is, so that we may open the future towards a new and better time for all. It is time to free ourselves so that we may make the world a better place for all beings to be free forever.

This is what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, and I hope you are too. Thank you my friends, my brothers, my sisters; and thank you most of all to Satoshi Nakamoto—whoever you may be.

Beautiful Erik, many thanks to you and your presence in the bitcoin space. The philosophic and psychedelic nature of bitcoin resonate with many and articulate the curious spark required to study and learn, myself included.

I share a name with this dipshit?

Ocho Cinco did it… 🤔

Great car, I heard Kendrick used it as an album title?
