On that topic of geographical arbitrage Australian govt seems to have on their roadmap becoming like the USA in terms of taxing its citizens anywhere in the world they emigrate to! I’m sure we’re not the only govt in the world looking to introduce that

Don’t tag Elon, he’ll retweet it with some dumb shit like ‘doge to the moon’

Ha ha yep so similar, trying to rarely ever eat the processed food & added in food w/ beneficial bacteria & enzymes.

We ended up making sauerkraut regularly, 1 good purple organic cabbage goes a long way, ends up being a really cheap side dish. That & kefir & raw milk, the raw milk is between $11-15 depending on where we get it!

Here’s the thing about the bitcoin-Trump-govt-takeover doomers


First, Trump doesn’t care about bitcoin or crypto that much. The argument always seems to be some big conspiracy to make a CBDC and use the bitcoin rocket to expand their reach and dominate all the KYC paper bitcoin and trap everyone in it, etc etc.

But it’s only us who put bitcoin at the center of our “plans.” They are “playing with it” because it’s this tiny side project that has been making money. Thats it. Trump is interested because there are voters he can appeal to. There is SO much honesty in the “and whatever else you are playing with” comment. He doesn’t care about any of this, and neither do the overwhelming majority of them.

It’s a bunch of opportunists that see growing numbers and so they buy an exchange, they try to dominate this and that market, etc. it’s nothing new.

Look at the stupid shitcoins they keep issuing. You think these are brilliantly laid plans? They could barely sell anything of their latest scam.

And of course when considering the exploiters of the old system, they will have more capital to dominate the new, but this doesn’t change in any way the fundamental incentive shift that occurs within the Bitcoin model.

Fiat has a corruption loophole, Bitcoin plugs that loophole.

Quit declaring failure before things even get off the ground. And quit framing Bitcoin’s importance through OUR lens instead of theirs. They don’t have that.

This is where “stay humble” shows up in practice, imo. We aren’t the most important thing in their world. We are winning and just need to put our head down and build solutions to TODAY’s problems, not throw our hands up in surrender or put all our concern in some elaborate, long term “probably going to happen” master plan.

Thats just my 2 sats

The topic of CBDC is probably a case of the banking families / dynasties that make up the banking cartel have two alternate realities 1. CBDC overtly (DEM) or 2. CBDC in stable coin clothing (REP)

The Lumis-Gillbrand Payment Stablecoin act that prohibits algorithmic stable coins makes fairly clear the path from stable coin to CBDC. Banks acquire / become the stablecoin issuers with increased programmability functionality.

I’m sure Trump personally doesn’t have the topic of stablecoin effectively becoming a CBDC on his radar.

When the more dystopian elements of the ‘Lumis’ stablecoins get exercised via the banking system (for example Canadian trucker protest 2.0 on steroids) it will serve to further increase lightning focus & adoption.

I recently wrote about the 2nd brain I am building, to help with creativity, and productivity

Here is what made it into my "Ideas Garage" the last few weeks:

- Buy jake.com. Make it a personal brand, with a focus on financial literacy

- In person podcast byron

- Lead. Literally lead. Take risk. Try more. Build what you would use. Go for it

- You are your own worst enemy. Abundance mindset pls. Self-sabotage is normal, persistent, and solvable. Train mind with Ben Gunn friend?

- Mindset coaching program for Bitcoiners with their time back, to then build companies, and invest in them

- Follow up Cheatcode messages to people saying nice to meet etc

- I want a healthy home

- Up my trading view skills - get indicator package from jigs installed

- Nostr only / first content studio

- Research multi sig options and prepare a document or notion

- Content creation studio Byron

- Focus on creating a long firm podcast

- Short form video content creation. 1 to 2 mins. Like mc in between panels. Just riff off a word / topic / subject

- Could you create a 24/7 Bitcoin podcast - different hosts logging in at different times to carry the batten?

- How can you use mid journey to create a brand?

- How do I produce a podcast with ai?

I- f you really want to teach people about Bitcoin, you need to make excellent content for free, and distribute it to as many people as possible

- At what point does my time become too expensive to justify doing MC jobs for free?

- if you wanted to creat decentralised media, would it look like Nostr?

- Should in sell more family co shares?

- How should I brand my new podcast?

- Would prospera be a good place for a VC?

- Live with your heart, more than your head. Each day you leave the house, ask your heart to turn right or left. Amp up over time

- What are my top 10 lifetime goals from now?

- Dad died of a heart attack. His dad died of a heart attack. How break the patern?

- Get over you fear of failure and learn to surf

- What happens if you just let things be? Be a dad with young kids. Be comfortable with being semi-retired, Or not working, or having your assets work for you

- Focus on finding a nice rental property. Renting is best right now

- Research the geo-engineering in Byron, why rain makes us sick?

- How do I find a reasonably priced, accessible, low tax, island to buy and live on?

- Build out at home podcast studio for 1. Stop procrastination and start recording

- In the same way that Bitcoin is disrupting central banking, does Nostr disrupt nation state beauacracy? No longer need official gov id to prove trustworthy, but a nostr digital ID. Ltd pty disruption?

- Get in better shape. You can’t beat Bitcoin re wealth. So focus on health, to then generate value. What did a weight lifter 150 years ago do?

- Revel in being a dad. Savour the early days. This is proof of work. - - Don’t worry about big projects right now

- Learn to produce house music. Jazz influence

- Double down on building a personal brand digitally. Cashflow & investment opportunities will come from that

- Why not just invest in your favourite VC funds? Why need to be a VC yourself? What insight do you have over others?

- Build a Bitcoin backed real estate development co that can access fiat leverage

- Learn to take good photographs

- Look at skool. Create a wealth course

- Build a nostr product to solve btc sessions problem

What I do next is filter out:

- fuck yeak vs fuck no

- actionable vs unactionable

- maybe later

- The One

- Diarised yes/no

The key, as I am learning, is about energetics, and creating more space for new ideas to come through, whilst hammering out a system that helps you focus in on what's actually in alignment

Lots of bad ideas is totally fine!

What's interesting also is seeing how repetitive some ideas are... Some things just REALLY want to come into existence

🙏

The one that caught my attention was geo engineering, has rain been making ppl sick in Byron Bay?

Yep pretty much how I see it. Imagine if these tech savvy cypher punk anarchist legends hadn’t given us all Bitcoin & nostr! Fuck I can’t even imagine.

After trying to orange pill ppl on btc & usually not getting far I sort of settled on just being the best version of yourself & attracting the questions on Bitcoin to you, which usually happens at times like this when the price runs up anyways.

With govt overreach on free speech & nostr, I’m gonna take the same approach. Try & learn how to run a relay, even if takes me a year or more. Eventually friends or family etc will get burnt in some way by the misinformation bullshit when it’s something that affects them, and at that time I’ll be ready for their questions

Would be pretty varied
 as an example compare someone who’s 65 & recently widowed to a couple in their 40’s still supporting 2 or 3 kids

I haven’t used nostr on pc, iOS only, got my nsec into nostore and used it to sign into nostr web app on safari. Does Orion pretty much achieve same thing as doing that, or is it different functionality / support?

I can see it playing out as a case of the social media platforms erring on the side of being over cautious & just taking down any post that gets close to what the govt guidelines on misinformation are.

No prosecution even required. The threat of 5% of their global revenue on the line means the govt will effectively outsource the policing to them.

The average normie won’t even notice the difference in their feeds, the posts just won’t be there.
