I mean for the chips causing clogged nose.

This place is real. It’s emerging as we speak. It’s what the architecture and community of the “new earth” will look like. We are evolving towards it at breakneck speed now.

I have been “seeing” it in bits and pieces for almost 15 years now.

The signal from Bitcoin is helping us bring it into existence. Partially by finding each other to collaborate with. 🪬🙏🏻

So I’m thinking of buying a retreat center in the redwoods of Northern California that supports about 50 people in a rustic setting.

It’s pretty badass. 8 cabins, riverside, large hot tub, 3 saunas, swimming pond on about +200 acres. It’s expensive and would take a few years to get cashflow positive, but I could do it.

I think it would be a great spot to do various workshops on self-sovereignty, and get brilliant people together to teach, learn, and collaborate together. Only problem is I have no fucking clue what I am doing or how to run something like this. I feel confident I could figure it out, I just know it’ll be a lot of work, administration, and management the first several years.

But with that being said, I guess get busy living or get busy dying.

According to Plutarch, there was a statue of Isis in Sais, Egypt, which was inscribed with :

"I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no one has ever lifted my veil and lived."

Egyptian statue. Maybe its Isis ; maybe not.

Exodus 33:20

But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!”

Maybe its related ; maybe not.

Here's tarot trump # 2, the high priestess. It has the two pillars, same as the temple, a woman with overflowing robes, and a veil. The pomegranates on the veil represent fecundity, which is more than the biological fecund and is more like Grace, and *might* be the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

Maybe it's related ; maybe not.

In Wagner's "Parsifal", a dramatic musical reenactment of the story of king Arthur, the king Amfortas forgot that he and the land are one, and thus brought a curse upon his land. The land is symbolic of the material nature of reality ; "he" and his kingship are symbolic of the spiritual nature of reality - the two are one because "oneness" is the essence of being. In fact, the material is the spiritual, but that's only apparent when you see Grace. The land can be equated with the priestess's flowing robes in the tarot card above.

Maybe its related ; oh f it, its related.

I think so.

YouTubers are always looking for attention alpha.

Also, grifters shilling silver is similar to when shitcoins pump when btc pumps.

They're butt hurt about BTC leapfrogging it

There is silver talk somewhere, I have a day trader friend who’s been screaming about silver for over a year now

I have yet to share my personal #Bitcoin journey, but I believe now is the right time to do so. It marks the beginning of my descent into the Bitcoin rabbit hole and, much like the Bitcoin White Paper itself, my story is closely tied to the financial crisis of 2008.

This account is deeply personal, laced with self-pity and a sense of stupidity. That's why I've kept it private and not even shared it with my closest friends, but I think it's important to share it now with you. Giving back to a community I received so much in the previous years. All too often, those who fall victim to the shortcomings of the fiat system internalize the guilt, unaware that they are being taken advantage of by a corrupt fiat system.

My parents, hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to building their own business from scratch, had little time to acquire financial education. In the early 2000s, they were advised — like many companies and individuals in Austria — to finance their company/house with a Swiss franc loan. The arrangement was complex and opaque, involving multiple loan accounts and significant commissions for both the bank and our financial advisor. My parents, trusting the system, unknowingly became entangled in a speculative gamble, exacerbated by the euro's introduction and the franc's relative strength over time. It turns out that debt in a strong currency and income in a rapidly depreciating currency have only one outcome: Default over time.

As a result of the financial crisis of 2008, the Swiss National Bank could no longer suppress the upward pressure on the franc in 2014 and the fallout was inevitable. Overnight, my family faced a substantially larger loan burden than initially anticipated, to threaten us to file bankruptcy and lose everything we worked for in the previous decade. This devastating turn of events — driven by corrupt banking practices and greedy financial advisors — left an indelible mark on me. As a young man, witnessing my parents' hard-earned savings and efforts eroded by a system they trusted was enough to cement my distrust of financial institutions forever. At this point in time I made a promise to myself: Trust no one, educate yourself and verify.

A few years later, I discovered Bitcoin. It clicked immediately. Here was a decentralized, incorruptible solution to the very problem that had caused so much pain for my family. Bitcoin represented a chance to opt out of a fiat system riddled with perverse incentives and predatory practices. My family's experience — our suffering under the weight of a corrupt financial system — motivates me to advocate for Bitcoin adoption. For this reason, I will never trade my Bitcoin for fiat currency ever, no matter the fiat price. It represents more than wealth to me; it’s a symbol of resilience and justice, a way to honor the sacrifices my parents made.

Looking back, I am almost grateful for this painful chapter of my life. It woke me up and set me on a path I might not have found otherwise. Many people experience similar losses at the hands of the fiat system without even realizing it because the theft happens incrementally, through inflation and hidden costs. Fact is, that honest, hardworking individuals are being robbed every day — second by second — by a system designed to erode their purchasing power over time. Like my parents, but more gradually.

While it’s exciting to see Bitcoin’s fiat price increase, that is not its ultimate value. Bitcoin represents so much more. And I know, many others who HODL Bitcoin not for fiat wealth but for deeply personal reasons — reasons rooted in justice, independence, and freedom. For those of us who have been wronged by the current system, Bitcoin is not just an asset, it’s a revolution for a better future.

Yours forever thankful, Carl. 🧡

This tftc video that I watched this morning about how wealthy families in England kept their land for a 1000 years talks about this idea of local charity (own your land and support help folks in your community ) versus sending money abroad somewhere and creating weird markets in other economies (Gates altruism style, mosquito nets in Africa that end up as fishing nets).

I'm sorry, Gates, I have used windows many years so I thank him for that.

I see your point. With the system of judges that we have, I would hope that they would respect body of law. I suppose a lot of charity might be in order in certain economic outcomes.

I do wonder if the "I lost the key in a boating accident, and a mermaid must be spending it" excuse is really going to work.

They're not the "synagogue of satan" for nothing.

They have infiltrated every aspect of society, the consider themselves superior to everyone else, and they hate us all equally.

More times than I can count. The challenge I face is similar to his. My issue stems from an overwhelming amount of woefully conflicting knowledge. Ranging from differences in denominations, priests raping my friends, and generally not knowing which teachings are real. Since the bible has ommitted original texts and through translations the original words have been lost to secular politics and time.

I am ready for what he did. The issue is absolute mistrust. I trust no one anymore. I don't think I can. Ive been stabbed in the back by those closest too me more times than I can count. How then do I redeem myself and attain the true wisdom required to make a positive change within myself if I can't trust?

How can i forgiven for my past transgressions and finally become healed? Putting past my fears and unleashing my true potential to make a positive change in our mutually shared existence. Is what I want most. I don't know how to navigate the waters of faith anymore without trust to arrive at my desired healing destination.
