Why I’ve become a radical for BITCOIN.
I’m an American MANUFACTURER.
I’m not an importer/reseller. I do not provide a service. I don’t assemble, package and sell. Nothing I do will EVER be available on Amazon.
None of the above are necessary without what I and others like me do.
I buy elements that have been mined from the earth e.g. chromium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, silica, iron, a dozen or so others and turn it into numerous steels: mild steels, alloy steels, tool steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, from which I make castings. My castings are used in numerous machines and equipment that enable secondary, tertiary, etc, manufacturers to produce what they do. Without what my industry produces NO modern plane or rocket could leave the earth, no nuclear reactor could be built hence, we would have no defense systems. I AM A PRIMARY MANUFACTURER.
I’ve worked in my industry for 50 yrs this month. I started a business in this industry just over 32yrs ago. TODAY it is no longer possible to do what I did and it’s not because I’m special. What I did back then is now so regulated, the financial barriers so great, the available labor is so hobbled and the number of no-value-added costs so high that it is nearly impossible to start small and grow. Today, new foundries are the offspring of existing foundries operating at scale that are bankable and believe it or not, this isn’t workable over the long-term.
This month I am nearly finished CLOSING my business. Please understand I am not going-out-of-business due to necessity—I had healthy sales and profitability in 2023 and the first quarter of this year.
I have decided to no longer do what I have done, I quit. Very simply a hard, healthy, abrupt stop.
Why and what does this have to do with BITCOIN? At this point I personally have NO other means to disrupt a very broken system and BITCOIN along with the great minds behind Bitcoin alone will facilitate the commerce that will enable a rebuilding—possibly before complete destruction.
The government that is funded BY us, exists only because of OUR work, has been working with those who will destroy us.
BITCOIN fixes this and it is time to risk our lives and our fortunes to build BITCOIN as our financial system, and defend it.
To fail in this is to assure our continuing enslavement.
“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
-not my words, rather my spirit.
So, answer me this, “Who IS Bitcoin?”
When it comes to TradFi, Bitcoiners be like:
I believe David Draiman is classically trained. Much more to this man than meets the eye, kinda like Lynn Alden. Much love. nostr:note1ceyqshtsm0hqtp43pvhdcjysahhfgqqxw0d70lwn4wvgnelykxuqenht0p
When Paul Simon was asked what he thought of Disturbed’s cover of his song “Sound of Silence,” he replied something to the effect, “What used to be my song.”
Class act. Don’t expect TradFi to be as gracious about the BITCOIN steamroller. 🤭 nostr:note19l228qss9zj0cxwkhueuz467nv9y6l0f9vsvg8lcym84fj5mf4sq3wsudm
BITCOIN has NO sympathy for the devil and knows his name!
Long video but stay with it, @8:10 Mick mouths (inaudible) words looking directly at the camera. Stones were (I believe) in a legal dispute at the time and the message was related.

I’ve researched and nailed down every lyrical reference but one.
"And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay.” (Mumbai) I believe reference to Sassoon opium empire, NOT hippies.
Any takers?
SO interesting that BITCOIN has the predators beginning to behave like prey.

Your “Save the Devs” got me thinking and engaged—real skin in the game. You are so creative, such a free spirit. Checked in this morning to comment and zap you for that piece, then found you were gone and got the story from other comments. This explanation you provided tells me you don’t need other’s words, you know yourself. Come when ready, we’ll be here WildChild. 🌹

I know you’re tired my dude. I can’t imagine your exhaustion levels given the amount of anxiety and anger I’ve personally felt over just this most recent attack on freedom.
We still need you for a little bit longer. After a few years since finding your podcasts, I’ve only recently been able to position myself to focus my life energy on switching every possible thing I can to self sovereignty.
There are many more like me I presume. And your insights and steadfast humble messaging is very grounding and refreshing.
We’ve, IMO, have just begun the ‘then they fight you’ stage.
T’s and Hoodies are the new suits.
We will win.
Fuck the suits.

I’m joining this fight now too, shedding baggage, regaining time and marshaling resources. Support the drivers, save the devs.

1,000 SATS?! What was I thinking? I’ll do better next time.
I’m with you. I checked in to zap her biggly for her “Save the Devs” bit. Damn, she knows how to make a point! If you’re out there, you’re missed—take care of your brain WildChild.
Agree on both. Just hope she takes good care of her brain matter.
