I was struck by the widespread enthusiasm and captivation surrounding the Cricket World Cup, especially the depth to which some individuals delved into spouting statistics about batsmen and bowlers. I couldn't help but wish that people were half as impassioned about understanding the inner workings of the world, particularly in the realm of finance. The way Central Banking seems to have turned us into unwitting slaves, all while maintaining the illusion of freedom, left me pondering. Perhaps if we dedicated similar fervor to tracking not only the taxes levied on our earnings but also those on our spending, and delved deeply into contemplating how advancements and improvements in production should realistically lead to a decrease in the cost of goods and services. However, the invisible tax of inflation often skews this reality, pushing prices upward.

In the office, the radio is a constant companion. My initial observation centred around the frequency with which the radio mentioned cricket in the days following the final match. However, what truly stood out was the relentless repetition of "BLACK FRIDAY." If I had earned a dollar for every mention of BLACK FRIDAY, I might have become a millionaire by now. It's worth noting that BLACK FRIDAY originated in the U.S., where it falls on the day after Thanksgiving.

Origins of Thanksgiving, in the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people joined together in a three-day feast to celebrate a successful harvest. This event is often considered one of the first instances of what would later become known as Thanksgiving. The participants gave thanks for the bountiful harvest and the support of the Native Americans who had taught them essential agricultural techniques.

It's astonishing how, right after a day dedicated to gratitude for what you have, we transition into the capitalist frenzy known as Black Friday.

“Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt” - Juvenal (Ancient Rome)

Here's how I'm going to set it up.

User Profile 1 (named "Owner"):

- Sandboxed Google Play installed.

- SIM card and eSIM enabled for dual number.

- All KYC/true name use.

- All content potentially accessible by the State via cable hacking (e.g. cellebrite.com).

- Google Maps in incognito.

- Banking apps.

- Sharing economy apps.

- All normie usage.

- Biometrics for convenience.

User Profile 2 (named "Guest"):

- No Google Play.

- Logged out when out of the house.

- Disk-encrypted ensures content is secure.

- "I forgot the password to that user."

- All Laser/NoKYC/nym usage.

- #Bitcoin watch only wallets.

- "Political" content (freetube/banned.video/etc).

- Anything against the "current thing".

- No biometrics; strong pin/pw only.

This basic setup allows for a secondary user profile which is logged out by default, providing full disk encryption and good plausible deniability / ability to say No.

The first profile can be yieled up if necesaary. This should provide a balanced setup to travel through NPC zones like airports, or deal with an increasingly technological police stops/searches.

If for some reason I have an urgent nym/nokyc need for google play, I can install into a work profile off of the secondary user profile. Note that each different user profile and work profile multiplies the maintainence cost (running fdroid, aurora, obtainium, etc for each isolated app space).

What's in your #SovereignStack?

Interesting I like this approach, mine is the other way around.

7 Valuable lessons learned from Difficult times:

1. Failure is necessary to grow:

Failure and success aren't opposites; they are parts of the process.

2. Difficult times are necessary:

Life isn't a linear line; it's a wave of good and evil. Embrace the tough times because they help you grow, thrive, and teach you to be grateful.

4. Problems aren't always negative:

Some storms come to clear your path. When you can't decide where to go, a problem will arise to clear the path and guide you to your destination.

5. Change is constant, not variable:

You are always in a state of constant change. Wherever you try to settle in any situation, an event may arise that forces you to change. And that's how the world works. You are in a mode of discovering and learning your new versions.

6. Energy is finite; invest it wisely:

Pick your battles wisely. That's the way to survive in this world. Every action doesn't require your reaction. Your reactions to specific actions set the tone in your life. So, choose where you want to invest your energy.

7. Be grateful for everything:

You should thrive on living a peaceful life alongside your hustle to live a great life. When you're grateful for the small things around you, happiness will cost less. And that's what every individual should aim for finding happiness in small things.

Few weeks ago, I embarked on a journey by launching a weekly newsletter through Substack. What spurred me to kickstart this newsletter was the concept of "working in public." This newsletter serves as a means for me to hold myself accountable. With the first two editions published, I have received some incredibly valuable feedback.

However, in alignment with the cyberpunk ethos, "information longs to be free," I now realize that it was unwise to confine it behind the walls of an "enter an email address" barrier. Consequently, I've chosen to share the same content, my Nostr long-form NIPs, and set this information free.

Nevertheless, Substack does provide a convenient platform for you to receive each week's newsletter directly in your inbox. If you find that appealing, please feel free to subscribe here: https://btchoneybadger.substack.com/
