Who’s “Protected” by Tariffs?

Why do you attempt to make at home what will cost you more to make than to buy? (Assuming quality was not a factor in this case)

Mere analogy of household budgeting as argued by Adam Smith on how economic protectionism is as irrational for a nation as it would be for a family to refuse to buy anything from outside the home. Just as a family prospers by specializing in what it does best and trading for the rest, a nation prospers by letting its citizens freely buy and sell in the global market.

Of what use is only considering the immediate effects of a tariff on a specific group and neglecting its long-run effects on the whole community?

Made yogurt at home today, toddler isn’t drinking as much milk as he used to, rather than reducing the milk supply I told the partner to leave it the same and let’s make yogurt’s rather than buying considering we have yogurt daily. Not sure why I’d delayed trying it out this long. Finally found a good use for the boiler room.

Just made my first btc payment, at my first bitcoin local meetup.

The 9-to-5 grind traps most of us on an endless hamster wheel, leaving zero bandwidth to stop and realize: the people we voted to represent us are screwing us over, and we actually deserve way better.

This is my second maternity leave, and once again it’s been a total eye-opener. Same thing happened the first time and during every gap between jobs—when life finally slows down, you see everything clearly.

Super stoked for nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7et0wd6xzemjv9kjucm0d5qjwamnwvaz7tmvdch8wet9v3ehgu3wdejhgtmwdaehgunjv4kxz7f0wajk2ernw3eqqgp8hj2qnaszyu524uns052szc4ud9ycjz545kgjghqxjgau9d6ce5dyuwmn the Orange Rocket! He finished an overall 39th (out of 193) in the men's 30-34 age division at today's IRONMAN 70.3 in Mossel Bay!!!

Not the top 10 finish he was aiming for, but still a great result, despite some unfortunate bicycle issues that cost him valuable time.

And a remarkable improvement from 2024, with an overall time difference of 59min faster in 2025 and 156th place overall, vs. 638th place in 2024.

We're very fortunate to have him on our team as a senior coach and lifesaving instructor, he's inspiration to the kids! Excited to see where this journey takes him! No doubt he'll go much further!

I know the places I’ll be visiting the next time I’m in the motherland.

We don’t, we didn’t pick them

One of my goals for 2026 is to get to a bitcoin conference. I might start with bitfest2026.

Yesterday was my sister in laws 27 birthday. I’ve been trying to bring her along on my btc journey, especially that she’s back home in a country plagued with severe hyper inflation.

I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, fiat or btc? And she goes btc please! So proud of her!

I buy #btc when I’m sad, also when I’m plastered, #btc makes me happy ☺️☺️

When do bitcoiners start educating their kids about money and bitcoin…..?

#financialeducation #bitcoin #parenting

Pardon my probably silly question, but what’s the action plan here? How exactly do we stand against this? Democracy round the globe seems to be gradually equating authoritarianism.

This has been hitting me hard lately. When I wake up knowing that I have the resources to tackle a project, nothing can stop me. I’ll put unlimited hours into seeing it through. But when I sit on the edge of my bed early on a payday morning, get my mandatory DCA done, then hemorrhage cash for the next 30 minutes on bills and debt service to send my balance to zero, everything on my to do list is a non starter.

I remember a day when a hard working man had both time AND money to tackle projects. Then I noticed a period when I only had one or the other. If I worked long hours, I had lots of money but no time to tackle projects. If I let up on the hours at work, I felt it.

Now, I feel like a lot of people, including myself, have entered a third stage: no time AND no disposable income. Minimum 50 hour fiat work weeks to make just enough to keep the wolves at bay, but not enough not to see the house, property and vehicle slowly slide backwards on maintenance, unable to deal with emergencies as they arise without hitting the credit card. Furnace and appliance failures, unexpected auto repair costs, whatever. Not to mention a million improvement ideas that all require materials and time to undertake.

But I’ll be god damned if I’m going to let it stop me from hodling. In five years when I’m sitting on the porch of our new place, watching the chickens roam about the yard, this grind will have been worth it. Thank God for Bitcoin. Whether it rips, goes down, or gets co-opted, Bitcoin and my faith are the only things keeping me going right now.

I need to finish up my nostr relay….
