The moment this kid stepped up and became a hero. I'm not crying... you're crying šŸ„¹šŸ’œ

In June 2013, Cristian Marian Becheanu, a 14-year-old student from Segarcea, Romania, performed a remarkable rescue. Three-year-old Gabriel Ruiu had fallen into a narrow well in his family's yard, becoming trapped 50 feet down for 11 hours. After multiple failed rescue attempts, Cristian volunteered to help.

Despite the risks, Cristian was lowered headfirst into the well, which was barely wide enough for him to fit. Equipped with a headlamp and his arms outstretched, he successfully retrieved the trapped toddler.

Following the rescue, there were reports of the town pledging to provide Cristian with a plot of land and a house, though it's unclear if this promise was fulfilled. Cristian did receive other honors: the emblem of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (becoming the only civilian recipient) and the Romanian Hearts Trophy in 2015.

This wasn't Cristian's first heroic act. At age 9, he reportedly helped rescue four people from a car accident and had previously assisted an injured classmate. Cristian's actions are particularly noteworthy given his modest background, living with his grandfather after his mother had left.

Watch the full video of this young everyday hero's remarkable act of courage below:

Fun right?

Really well done! The Moog also gives it a nice twist!

Bitcoin follows liquidity cycles, Bitcoin follows power law, or perhaps liquidity follows a power law?

The three indicators I follow are:

The dollar liquidity of the system given by the formula:

$= WALCL - (WDTGAL + RRPONTSYD)

Where:

WALCL = The total assets of the Federal Reserve System.

WDTGAL = The General Account of the U.S. Treasury deposited at the Fed.

RRPONTSYD = Reverse repurchase agreements on Treasury securities sold by the Federal Reserve in reverse open market transactions.

WALCL if it grows gives liquidity to the dollar system because the Fed buys debt (among other things) and pours dollars into the system.

WDTGAL if it grows it detracts from the liquidity of the system because it is the money in the U.S. Treasury's general account that is immobilized at the Fed.

RRPONTSYD if it grows it takes liquidity out of the system as these are operations in which the Fed temporarily sells Treasury securities with an agreement to buy them back later by temporarily taking money out of circulation in exchange for Treasury securities.

The second indicator is the global money supply m2 given by the world's main central banks.

And the third indicator is MOVE, this index measures implied volatility in the US bond options market, similar to how the VIX index measures volatility in the stock market. When the MOVE index is high, it indicates that investors expect higher volatility in interest rates. This can lead to decreased liquidity in the bond market, as investors may become more cautious and less willing to buy or sell bonds in an uncertain environment. On the other hand, a low MOVE index suggests expectations of interest rate stability, which can increase liquidity by encouraging more buying and selling activity.

The perfect storm is for liquidity in the dollar system to soar, money supply m2 to increase and MOVE volatility to decrease.

As we can see m2 is rising, move volatility is falling and when rates fall it will fall even further, we just need the catalyst of dollar liquidity.

On the other hand, the power law indicator indicates that we are close to the beginning of the next bullish cycle.

Since I do not have enough mathematical knowledge, I would like to know if it is really the liquidity of the international monetary system that follows a power law and not bitcoin.

Although in both cases the result is the same, bitcoin is a proxy for global liquidity, bitcoin was created to penalize the issuance of money.

I would suggest asking Giovanni who initially coined the power law relation to bitcoin, he is a trained astrophysicist, very good with math and analysing bitcoin patterns through advanced calculations

I am excited to be here and to be part of such an amazing community. I am a couples therapist by day and a Bitcoin treasury reserve manager for my family by night. :)

My Bitcoin journey is similar to most.

A couple of differences:

I worked as a stockbroker for major wirehouses in the 90s in San Francisco.

So, I had already been at the center of many opportunities to get in on big life-changing opportunities early. Still, I took the consensus trade and talked myself out of opportunities right under my nose.

I thought San Francisco house prices were too expensive when I was in my early 20s. I was making a ridiculous amount of money for someone that young. I used to have a Debt is Slavery sticker on my fridge. Doh!

I was convinced that Google IPO was too expensive, so I didn't buy it even though they were my client while I was a corporate client group director at Citibank. Amazon didn't make any money, so of course, I didn't buy it.

The nice thing about getting it wrong over and over and becoming aware of it is that it primed me to be ready for the next time the opportunity arose where the herd couldn't get it, and those brave enough to buy and hold would inherit the earth!

I almost fucked up with bitcoin too. When I tried to buy some in 2012, I needed to get off the couch to get my ID and verify my identity. That was too big an ask, so I didn't buy any. Arrgh!

In 2017, I thought I was a genius trading Bitcoin. My wife asked me if I was sure I wanted to stay a therapist when I could make so much money every day. Yep, I know everyone is a genius in a bull market. I fell for that, too.

Another big difference from most people's journey is I studied economics at Trinity College Dublin. I didn't even know I had been brainwashed. I was a lefty European-San Francisco progressive through and through. I had no idea I had been ideologically captured. Shout outs to nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um and nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for helping me to get edumecated.

I was outraged by the 2008 financial crisis and the banks' bailouts, and I was an active participant in Occupy Wall Street. In 2009, I wish I had found the Bitcoin white paper rather than the Occupy Movement!

Needless to say, Bitcoin has changed my life and how I understand economics. Discovering Austrian economics and libertarian philosophy through my Bitcoin journey has profoundly changed me.

Today, I am blessed to live life inspired by a Bitcoin mindset:

I own my business, my house, and Bitcoin. That is all. Shout out to nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m and nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle for inspiring me.

I make sure I am a net producer and live within my means. Shout out to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for making me feel like I was going crazy by integrating the importance of continuing to give more value than I extract. Changed my whole mindset about what it means to retire, etc.,

These days, I dream of providing my wisdom and skills as a couples therapist and relationship expert to Bitcoiners. Bitcoiners are people, too, goddammit!

For the last 14 years, I have primarily served as a relationship expert to Silicon Valley's movers and shakers. I had to be good at something—couples therapy is my area of mastery/competence! And I love it. So, I am here for bitcoiners who could do with help figuring out how to make love and relationships work. Good luck trying to implement your right to divine individual sovereignty in your relationship!

I am also shifting my focus to giving my expertise and wisdom to my local community here in Hawaii. Spending the dollars I earn from the mainland here is not enough. I have to do more to help people here in Oahu. Shout out to nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx; what you do in Bedford is inspiring.

My big crazy dream is to educate local Hawaii residents who have been priced out of paradise about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the equivalent of the 21st-century version of 18th-century Hawaii, Manhattan, and Miami Beach property. Hawaiians could buy Bitcoin right now from under the noses of the elites that took their sovereignty from them, hold the Bitcoin for a decade, and be in a position to get their land back or keep their Bitcoin forever.

If anyone here in Hawaii has ideas on how to spread this idea to the local community, please let me know.

A long introduction - but this is like my own coming out as a Bitcoiner - so I am primarily writing this for myself. If it is too long, I respect your right to keep scrolling. ;)

Mahalo!
