The difficulty in being out in front of the herd is mostly loneliness. But the views are unobstructed and huuuuge. For those following, the trail is easier but the stench of shit mixed with dust fills their nostrils. I'll take lonely anyday, thanks

Whilst I applaud the sentiment, 50% is too high imo. Take it from someone who is sitting on a $180K couch.. 😂

Also, unless you're dumping custodied BTC, watch the chain of custody. Bitcoin is only pseudo anonymous and you don't want to expose yourself in the Meta Meadow. Lastly, if people are using anything but self custody, is it even bitcoin? I would say, No, but I'm nobody.

Ma’am… don’t you have anything else to do?

As someone emerging from the shadows who’s dedicated part of her life to bridging generational gaps and emboldening women in the Bitcoin space— after all you’ve been through— I’d assume you to be kinder. I showed you grace and respect, before I knew who you were and after, but you came for me with The Highlander, Shakespeare, and now this grift about me imitating you. HA!

Where? I genuinely enjoy positivity and spreading kindness. I’m not a snarky, lady. I’ve never shitcoined nor have I ever laid down with shitcoiners. I don’t come for people, I mind my business and stay out the way. I’m not into tech, I don’t care about clout, I don’t read charts, NGU, or host panels. I mind my business post things that make me smile, repost what I value, send zaps, stack sats, and serve the Lord.

I’m sorry for any and everything that’s happened to you in the space. It’s unfortunate that people misunderstood you and brought calamity to your reputation. That being said, leave me alone. That victim mess doesn’t work on/with me. It’s obvious you haven’t grown from the past and feel as if someone owes you something. It’s not me.

I was raised by strong southern women, dear heart. That means I know who I am, who I serve, and believe that what’s mine will forever be for me… nothing you can do will change that. It’s beautiful that you’ve found joy in your delusions but please trust, verify, and, believe there’s absolutely nothing that you’ve done in which I wish, would, or could imitate.

You’re you and I’m me… and that’s okay.

Good girl! Way to rein it in. I'm proud of you. I figured the insults were due to high insuline or a need for sleep.

As for The South, I enjoyed my time there in Alabama, Nashville, The Carolinas. Lovely. I'm definitely a Woman of The West so we don't align culturally exactly, but there is nothing here that a chat over sweet tea and a porch swing can't fix. Keep swinging kiddo!

If you're going to begin your sentence with "And" you ought to spell it out. And, if you'd like, I can help you with your lisp unless that is something related to your preferences and uses for affectation.

Fun Fact: In 2014, I was able to live my life almost entirely within the bitcoin economy, mostly p2p but also with 3rd party apps like BitPay. 10 years later, the "maxi holding" effect has reached its zenith. The tip will be snipped, or will soften as they do.

Oof! You need to reread the response as I did not say anyone called me BB in 2009. If you're going to talk shit, at least report facts rather than falsities. The "Belle" nickname was due to my name being Michelle. The Bitcoin was added in 2011. Do better! I know you can girl!

It works for up to approximately 150 people then it begins to break down. I've transitioned from "Leave me alone" to anarchist, voluntarist, to being on the run and hiding, back to the original, and what I've found that is something that can be applied universally is OPT-IN solutions. But it does require leveling-up on personal responsibility. Ie, SSNs are opt-in, and yet nearly every mother signs her newborn up at birth. I did not and had to listen to everyone, including well-known Libertarians tell me "That's not possible". It was and it is. It is just hard. So if people are not willing to self-govern and own themselves and their young children, there is zero hope for a totally voluntary society.

I gave up waiting for apologies in 2017. I have forgiven everyone for the harm done intentionally as well as unwittingly. It's a good protocol and one I recommend.

It's never wise to make judgements regarding matters about which you know nothing. As for a seat at the table, I left the table when I'd had enough, and returned to plowing and sowing. Bitcoin is a tool, not the end goal. But if what you enjoy is sitting around like a Monday Morning QB gossipping about things beyond your scope, that is your prerogative.

What an interesting piece of bitcoin's history you represent nostr:npub18vvu9tzgqrqgrputngqn03fllx25lhl0ngkfaanazy7qq2jzmpxqq5lmjd . A true OG and seemingly led down a path by a fated love 🫂 Since you cannot be banned here, does that mean you will start posting and sharing your present day adventures with us? We can all bitcoin on together 💜🧡

1). Nobody has ever heard my story as to the why regarding CSW. Considering I was the only person debanked, and fully reliant upon Bitcoin to participate in the economic and intellectual pool . . . The Why, it seems odd anyone in the know made that incorrect assumption about my relationship with CSW.

2). I was in love with the same man from October 2014 until long after that article was penned, and that man was not CSW. The LOVE I had that pushed me was for Humans and how Bitcoin can free all from the shackles of The State. Sadly, my best intentions were greater than my abilities, so things did not go as hoped or planned.

As for sharing adventures on here, no. :) But I am going to finish my book series and work to get it made into a closed loop screen adaption, as I've been doing the last decade. Most of my Bitcoin friends are no longer here but my characters still live in my head.

Bitcoin Belle was banned and erased so if you came along after 2017, of course you would not know me. Bless your heart, now you do! Bitcoin on! 🌺

Indeed! I think everyone should have a Bitcoin Belle Story. :). You shared why you chose the moniker and I shared how I came by it. That said, it has been my brand since 2011.
