I seriously looked into doing this but I already have too many nagging injuries piled up from the years. Good luck!

The more terrorizing the scream, the more effective it is at mitigation.

Unpopular opinion: Memes putting down getting excited about engagement are unproductive. We should celebrate our connections and shared humanity.

This finding is very plausible. Much like teaching children the piano increases their mathematical talent, so would immersing the brain in a starved sensory stimulation provoke cognitive potential.

The incentive structures are improving drastically. The writing is on the wall.

The bitcoin market has already gone through the seller mania exhaustion.

Halvening is approximately 9 months away. This is a fundamental change in the market that accumulates momentum day by day, resulting in reflexively increasing demand growth.

US accounting rules are close to being finalized, clearing out massive blockers and setting the stage for the early phase of mainstream corporate adoption.

Bitcoin as an inflation hedge will continue to root itself in the substrate of hyper-inflating economies throughout the world.

The largest asset managers in the world are positioning with more and more aggressiveness to benefit from the growth of Bitcoin.

This is very aggressive but at the same time, very warranted.

This is a quote from Nikola Tesla in 1904. Can you imagine how utterly crazy he must have sounded to people existing in the era of horses and candlelight? At the same time, imagine how beautiful the world was in his eyes with that level of foresight.

"When the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized, that this planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball and that by this fact many possibilities, each baffling imagination and of incalculable consequence, are rendered absolutely sure of accomplishment; when the first plant is inaugurated and it is shown that a telegraphic message, almost as secret and non-interferable as a thought, can be transmitted to any terrestrial distance, the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections, faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe, the energy of a waterfall made available for supplying light, heat or motive power, anywhere — on sea, or land, or high in the air — humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick: See the excitement coming!

Seems a bit passive aggressive towards your request for thank yous? :P

I may have successfully orange-pilled a local pastor. He just stopped by to chat and we got on the "outside the narrative" conversations. He actually was the one to ask what I thought about bitcoin. Having been through several attempts at orange-pilling now, I am actually getting somewhat decent at it and surprised myself with how well spoken and persuasive I was. I just speak bluntly and confidently and always focus on the the consensus-driven limited supply and how the USD is just a shitcoin.

It goes away right around now. Get them addicted to something new!

I see that there has been a lot of tension with clients and developers not agreeing on the path forward with nostr. I think it's easy for those who are so personally vested and have devoted much of their life-blood to building out what we all know is a beautiful future.

Let me just say as "an outsider", please step back and remember how lucky we all are to be here at this stage. Spend a moment really seeing the forest for the trees. This is a decentralized future. This is what we signed up for. This was inevitable. Be thankful for this struggle.
