it does feel good! what are you building?

I don’t go to Starbucks because I refuse to do KYC. I am honest to a fault and won’t give a fake name. If I do, I feel like I am criminalizing myself, which is exactly the intent of the system. nostr:note16pey8e2lm3x2z9m9d53y2yuzhvhschnp30gv8jdm7s25uws5w9dqmhz92y

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

first I stopped paying attention to follows, and now I've found that I don't care about likes either. maybe they're still useful for algorithms?

In one month, I will be turning 25. I really want to make the most of the next 5 years, so that by the time I’m 30, I’m prepared for the next chapter of my life.

If you're 30 or older, what would be the best piece of advice for someone in their late 20s? #AskNostr

Were all getting new girl friends

Mission accomplished, this is where it should stay forever. 🤣

Guys, can you spare a zero? I'm gonna need one tomorrow…

I hate when my asset is volatile to the upside. Uhggg too much winning.

Somebody told me it’s an electric rock. Maybe like a bitkey??

Institutional fomo

Most #Bitcoin ers that have been through a cycle or two, know how to deal with our emotions

We've experienced this before, we know what it's like to to feel like we missed the boat

enjoy watching from the other side

BRÆKING: #BITCOIN CRASHES TO $88,370

BTC is technical. I'm not sure there's a way to get around that.

If your dad likes history, The Bitcoin Standard is very good.

#Bitcoin is on the verge of overtaking silver’s market cap.

find it crazy that people can function with less than 10 hours of sleep

feel drowsy and spaced out with just 8 hours

another W for the boys

It was going to take me 6 years for minimum payout. Definitely not setup for the plebs.

After uninstalling X and Instagram, finding news or information about what is going on according to my interests is challenging.

Is Nostr equipped to compete with other apps in sourcing relevant information?

I’m coming to the sad conclusion that there really isn’t much going on inside of 90% of people. While they have the capacity and capability to self-reflect and creatively engage in the world, they don’t. They desire ease, comfort, and conformity above all else.

Not only that, but they fill themselves with so much garbage, propaganda, and ideals from others around them who are similar; they mute any real voice or agency that does come from within. They are not interested in the dynamic creative possibilities of the world, but the ease of obedience towards those who know what’s best for them. Their motto is ‘don’t rock the boat’.

These people are fucking dangerous, not because they want to hurt you, but because they lack the capacity to truly self-reflect in a meaningful way. They don’t care about what is true, just that the rules are followed. They don’t want to feel uncomfortable within self-reflection, but to flee into the values of others they have been told are theirs as well and is the only right way to be.

It is a valorization of callousness, a celebration of conformity, and a religious respect for authority to such an extent that their own personal responsibility vanishes.

These are NPCs. They are agents of the system and an integral part of how it functions and projects power. They are little more that drones at the subservience of the state, and only a radical awakening that forces them into the existential angst of what their only life is and means is the only thing that can truly awaken beings that are so asleep that they have forgotten their own being.

Checking out competition. 😂

Strangest espresso I’ve ever tasted. There is a clear Cumin flavor.
