Great pod, without rhr and citadel dispatch there would be a huge lack of signal in the bitcoin podverse. Thankful to have found them both early in my bitcoin journey 🙏

plastic christmas trees are a scam

real trees only

Whenever we go to the local Italian restaurant, the waitress asks if we want dessert or coffee afterward.

I know it's a common thing, but for the life of me I don't know why anyone would want coffee after a big meal at night.

Probably some 2024 bitcoiners but all the 2025 “bitcoiners” already sold and went cry to their basement

Not frustrated - just a realization of how insanely early we are.

And a realization of how much value we can provide because of that.

It’s not me I worry about - it’s the people having to put up with me saying the same thing over and over. 😂

I don’t care what Parker Lewis writes. I am not a maximalist any more. I’m a Miximalist.

Hilarious

If you want it to work, yes it is needed.

Solana is the answer to unlocking Bitcoin’s value.🤷🏼‍♂️

The wife requested caesar chicken sando for dinner.

Who came up with the name Suitcoiner?

I have not posted on our adventures for quite a while.

Sorry.

Then a big big drive from Adelaide to Esperance (WA) with overnight stops Whyalla, Ceduna, Border Village, Fraser Range Station.

Now in Esperance and holy WOW.

This place is one of the most beautifully spectacular places I have ever been to.

We had wifey’s mum fly into Adelaide for a week which was nice for everyone feeling a bit home sick.

Boys dropped their school work again for a couple of weeks and we caught them up in a couple of decent sessions. Both still going well with it all.

Photo drops coming soon.

For now… Esperance.

Coming up to our 150th caravan site over 200+ nights living in the caravan…

Over 32,000km travelled…

We just made it back to QLD after spending majority of this time outside our beloved home state…

What a ride….

A few more months in the van now but less moving around and no more big drives until December at least.

God I love Bitcoin.

I feel like I live a double life: my fiat job and my Bitcoin self. Anyone else relate?

This is an interesting banana. It's called Hua Moa. A Hawaiian variety that tastes like a creamy plantain when green and quite sweet when ripe like this. You can cook it or eat it raw.

I have a brother who’s been against Bitcoin the whole time. My success speaks so loud I can’t hear the negativity anymore. Bitcoin has made me a winner and he’s left in the dust. I wish I could take everyone with me, but they don’t want to do what’s necessary.

Damn man. You sound like you are describing my relationship with my sister. I'd love to talk about this further. Mostly because my lack of advice reminds me of your loss for words. I either have to bite my tongue or decide to be the "asshole." Nothing she ever says is wrong..............

I've made a point to try not to talk about family here, but I need some comradere

Sister is in town and has always been against me getting into Bitcoin and all of the change in health things I've done. It was one thing after I rode the bear market down, but now? I'm sick of it.

I finally addressed it directly and left room to say that it's fine if you're not into it, but you're direct negativity towards the things in building my life around is getting to a point where it feels like you're rooting against me. I'm just asking for some support.

All I got was an "I'll think about it"

I generally don't give people the time of day once I find out they aren't rooting for me to succeed (we all can win), but family? That's tough and we generally have a solid relationship otherwise.

I'm sure some of you guys have dealt with something similar. How did you handle it? How did you get it to a positive place?

WTF is this?

Had my VPN location set to the Netherlands and now X wants me to verify my age? To watch a video of someone spending sats at a rural shop in Kenya?

Turned VPN off, and restriction is gone.

would you

Much appreciated.

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe if you have a minute.

You spoke about your transition outside of the control system. Wondering if you have a primer on what you find now are better tools than before. For example you chose Nostr over X in the interview. What about things like 1) computer operating systems 2) cell phone 3) Note taking systems 4) credit card (or completely abandon that?) 5) AI system of choice? 6) anything else ?

Understanding some choices are geographic and not asking for or interpreting as endorsements - just interested in what you recommend friends to do or what choices you see now would improve the odds of the future you described arriving sooner.

— in any case with gratitude!

me when I said I didn’t particularly like nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u's new haircut in front of my mother in law hahahahahahaHAHAHAHA I am who I am

He has no clue what he’s signing. Hysterical how easy it is to get the stable genius to put his name on something he doesn’t understand. Bitcoin doesn’t care, just an observation.

You know that Government Officials hate you and your future when they label and penalize Savers as “Hoarders.”

I am trying to read it extremely clearly and with careful diction. I am also trying to speak in a more “bright” way than I usually do as I don’t think my usual low rumble will have as much mass appeal in a full audiobook… that said, every time there is a quote I am reading them in “character” voices which I feel best represent the person being quoted.

Just want to do my best to make sure it does Larry’s fine work justice and casts as wide a net as possible 🫡

That’s a kind compliment for anyone to receive.

Living in a caravan

Hot Tip # 4

Bikes!!!

Take em? Leave em? Where to put em? Where to store em?

Self admitted nerd here who perhaps overthinks everything too much. Travelling with bikes is an age old question aim gay caravanning groups.

Here are my hot takes.

(For breakdowns on the terminology below, see previous note about weight ratings)

How much draw bar weight do you have to play with?

Know where your spare weight ratings exist, do you have spare payload in the vehicle or in the trailer?

For me, I had payload restrictions in the trailer (caravan) so I opted for most of the bikes to go on the car, and one on the rear of the van.

I purchased 3 x Thule Pro Ride 598 roof rack mount bike carriers for the 3 x big bikes And 1 x San Hima spare tyre mount for the little bike

Are they ridiculously high on top of my 4WD? Yes.

Do they work? Amazingly well.

They are about the same heights as my van so they don’t introduce any more height risk. And they ride amazingly well and don’t introduce any more noticeable sway at high speed or in high winds. No more than the van itself anyway.

Pros:

The support clamp is lockable, locking your bikes onto the roof.

The clamp securing it to your roof rack rail is also lockable.

And…the end clamps of my roof racks are also lockable so they are extremely secure.

Cons:

Need a ladder or step to get bikes on and off, they are a little too high to do from the ground

You NEED to remember they are on the roof - No maccas drive thru (which is a massive pro IMO) or close parking at the shops.

We don’t take them off the roof at every stop. They stay in there unless we are staying somewhere for a few days or there is a ride we all like to do. We just have to remember they are on.

It is tempting to mount all your bikes on the back of your van, but they move and bounce around a lot and also take critical weight off of your towball, again see previously note about the dangers of not having enough tow ball weight

I've never used either of them so I stand corrected, so how do people move funds over? I assume they buy Btc or stablecoins on a local KYC exchange and then ping them over to these offshore ones?
