"Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing."
- Thomas Jefferson
If Bud Light zaps you the same amount you're done with the other brands?

The world needs more of this.
The 'just in case I need it later' box. Check, got one.

If you could have an entire Bitcoin block reward as your stack, you'd be pretty pleased with yourself. Right?
You can. Today for just a small investment, you can stack an entire future block reward. Think long term. Look at the future epochs, start by building your stack based on the block rewards. Work your way backwards.
Once a Bitcoiner, always a Bitcoiner.
Once you understand Bitcoin, you can't go back.

There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or even lived in a way which was so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory. But he shouldn’t regret this entirely, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man – so far as any of us can be wise – unless he has passed through all the fatuous or unwholesome incarnations by which that ultimate stage must be reached.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot.
We need a home in the psychological sense as much as we need one in the physical: to compensate for a vulnerability. We need a refuge to shore up our states of mind, because so much of the world is opposed to our allegiances. We need our rooms to align us to desirable versions of ourselves and to keep alive the important, evanescent sides of us.
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. What looks like weakness to the ego is in fact the only true strength.
A significant portion of the earth's population will soon recognize if they haven't already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die.
