My long-term Bitcoin concerns mostly revolve around apathy.

What if not enough people care to self custody?

What if not enough people care to enforce the rules by running nodes?

What if not enough people care to put in the hard work seeking consensus for improving Bitcoin?

The most important thing is that we continue discussing Bitcoin. The exchange rate is merely a SIGNAL that we have done well SO FAR.

Masculinity is under attack lately. But I like masculinity actually.

I know, shocker.

The fact that so few U.S. presidential or vice presidential candidates have had beards in modern history is funny to me. I think men usually look better with facial hair, and the older they get the more likely that is. 20-somthing or 30-something strong jaw dudes often look great without facial hair. But when men are 50 or 60 or whatever, that salt-and-pepper beard is so rad and almost always beats the no-beard weak-chin look. I actually think it's weird that neither Biden nor Trump have a beard. JD Vance looks like shit without a beard. Growing a beard is the best move he ever made, imo. And yet the media is like, "A vice president candidate with a beard?"

Masculinity can be rough around the edges, but that's what we need sometimes. It's usually balanced by other societal aspects. In some societies it gets extreme and needs to be pushed back on. My husband has a temper, but his temper is part of his power and why he impacts the world to the extent that he does. So when I interact with his temper, it's not about eliminating it, but rather it's about appreciating it but making sure it's directed in the right direction.

Masculinity and femininity are good. They don't need to be forced. Nature is diverse but society tries to categorize nature into narrower categories. Feminine men and masculine women are cool too. But that doesn't change the fact that masculine men and feminine women are also cool.

I grew up kickboxing and submission grappling. I'm a tomboy. I'm a feminist in terms of promoting equal gender rights. But at the end of the day, I appreciate masculine men. I was never attracted to men who were weaker than me in any capacity, but rather was always attracted to men with gravitas.

The easiest approach to life is to 1) respect biology as it is but then 2) also appreciate the divergences that inherently exist within it.

Trying to equalize nature is to fight against it. And yet trying to eliminate the diversify of nature is also to fight against it.

Nature is fascinating, and I do my best to appreciate it.

we have always been a part of nature, governed by its immutable laws. we create and rely on complex systems—financial, social, and technological—that push us forward, but along the way, these abstractions often distance us from what is real.

throughout history, these constructs have been useful, but they become unstable when they stray too far from nature’s fundamental truths. lies and illusions, no matter how sophisticated, cannot function effectively on a large scale because they aren’t grounded in reality.

the further we distance ourselves from these truths, the more instability—both within ourselves and as a society.

our modern-day financial systems, government, social media, and more have drifted too far from the truth. not the truth handed down by the right person, ceo, or banker, but the truth that is physical, rooted in nature, in who we are.

bitcoin and nostr are part of a broader trend back to this truth, as we find our way in this new digital age. a return to something real—decentralized, unmanipulated, and aligned with the natural order—just like nature itself

Been spending less time online this past week.

More time walking, and more time writing offline.

Probably for the better. That way relays don't have to worry as much about storing child pornography or other legally dangerous data. Individual apps will find ways around it by being their own image and video hosts, but in return they will also have to do their own moderation. This arrangement makes Nostr more robust.

It is. You have to think this way. Until last cylce Bitcoin simply didn't have the market capitalisation for "smart money" to take tampering with it serious enough. In their world expected gains have to exceed expected fines or they're not interested. Today any brokerage stands to makes tens of millions by tampering with Bitccoin vs a few million fine.

if you look at the violation trackers you'll find that JPM, BlackRock and their friends pay billions in findes when rigging the commodity markets and that's what Bitcoin is for them, a commodity.

Bias? There is no middle ground when it comes to truth. Meeting in the middle is not possible when it comes to truth. The truth is the truth. Always stand for the truth.

The only true middle ground is individual free agency. You do your thing without forcing your will on me and I do my thing without forcing my will on you. That's the only true middle ground.

How many of these events do you believe official narratives/history got right?

- JFK assassination

- 1969 manned moon landing

- 9/11 attack

- Epstein killing himself

- 2020 US election

- Covid "pandemic" and response
