Your question is flawed to being with.

Please try again.

There is no de-escalation.

There is only genocide in Gaza.

Until support for Israel completely stops, the evil will continue.

Hopefully it will not be necessary to turn Tel Aviv into 1945 Berlin....

I hate fucking government!

There is a hotel and pub on the outskirts of Bedford that has 5’10” ceilings.

Like, imagine walking into a restaurant and hit your head because you are 5’10”. I am under 5’8” but was still kind of being careful since certain parts of the ceiling were surprisingly low.

It’s basically the Shire.

How can we bring more people on #nostr ?

Cast iron pans are easier to clean than “stainless” steel

Your flex isn't a flex.

No one cares about your car.

Or your bigwig job title.

Or your watch.

I was just in a room full of c suite execs from fortune 500 companies.

People that have reached the pinnacle of traditional success.

But they aren't in control of their time.

Most of them completely missed their children growing up.

Many of them are unhealthy.

And few of them know how to enjoy life, because they have spent their lives focused on the next rung of the corporate ladder.

Conditioning themselves to live for "someday" that will never arrive.

In their defense, when they started their careers decades ago, it was a lot harder to achieve a high quality of life outside of the big corporate setting.

But now the status symbols they aimed at (the title, the big house, etc.) have lost value.

The new status symbols are:

- Control over your time

- Control over where you work

- Freedom to watch your children grow up

- Ability for your spouse to stay home

- Ability to travel whenever you want

- A fit body and a healthy mind

Just like the old status symbols, nobody really cares whether you achieve these things.

But your family will. And that's what matter most.

So how to get these things?

We live in an age of incredible opportunity.

The opportunities for individuals and small teams to build wealth via business have never been greater.

You no longer need to slave away in an office for decades to bank $10+ million.

Traditional media used to monopolize the power to influence; today that power has been decentralized by platforms like X.

Similarly, corporate influence has lost ground to individual influence.

Authentic individuals are the brands that people now trust.

And people will always prefer to buy from brands they trust.

This is an opportunity for those who recognize it and act upon it. That alone should make you optimistic.

But what if you don't want to start a business?

You can still get there by choosing to save in #Bitcoin

Families that have adopted a Bitcoin standard for their savings have seen dramatic increases in living standards compared to people who save in assets like the S&P500.

For every Lambo-flaunting crypto scammer, there are probably 1,000+ families spending more time together because of Bitcoin.

And at the end of the day, that's the only status symbol that really has any substance.

Repost from @Stack Hodler

You know why the modern US government doesn't like citizens owning guns?

Why they don't like them maintaining their privacy from the government?

Why they don't want them owning Bitcoin and gold?

Because if they do, they will have the power. Remember that.

Don’t get mad at Biden, these types of actions should be expected and are taken to trigger you.

Go to church tomorrow and have a blessed day with your family and friends.

Lead by example.

That's my prerogative though.

Freedom maximalist. 🤙
