Happy ending.

Earlier today Environment America put up an article called "Bitcoin’s purposeless power problem" which was full of defunded claims about Bitcoin’s environmental impact.

They have now removed their article from their site after I wrote to them pointing out numerous factual errors, with citations and data.

In one month, I will be turning 25. I really want to make the most of the next 5 years, so that by the time I’m 30, I’m prepared for the next chapter of my life.

If you're 30 or older, what would be the best piece of advice for someone in their late 20s? #AskNostr

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

Sorry for being a party pooper but Bitcoin didn't need Trump to break out. We knew it was coming and this is the fifth epoch. But I guess headlines need a reason and crediting Trump is as good as any other (made up) reason.

Gm! 🌧️ ☕️

Let’s see if I can get through the day without looking at least 40 times 🤞

Why is my love life such a disaster.

Unlucky or incompatible?

All I feel is I'm better off alone.

Oh well ...

Happy anniversary to the fall of the Soviet Union
