yea, not anything close to a full rotation but considered stacking a small amount of physical

not interested in gld at all, the whole point was as a hedge to major societal breakdown where btc isnt accepted locally

came to the conclusion that i will just use 9 and 556 to trade for local goods in that scenario, consistently stacking more rounds

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx on recent RHR, were you serious about attempting to convert some BTC to gold? Was surprising to hear, but I’ve often gone through same thought process. How to buy, validate it, store it, fees on buying and selling, etc. I either stop there or buy GLD (warts and all). I just keep scratching my head here

Just war

It is very frustrating watching precious metals catch a re-monetization bid when there is an infinitely better money available. It’s crazy how lazy everyone is.

This is a Christmas present 🎁 thread, each reply gets a 1K sats zap until I run out of sats in my zap wallet. Others are welcome to join in gifting. You better not scam mfrs, the Santa knows your ass, so be nice. Yes, I had some wine and I feel reckless AF, so feel free to abuse my recklessness 😂🤣😂

Merry Christmas, hope this will make your Christmas just a little better. Go go go!!! 😂🎅🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥

When will BTC set a new all time high?

Closest date gets 20k sats

want to give me your River referral code for New customers?

I’m going to try it out.

It's good to utilize various currencies for various reasons.

I want some goldbacks just as a hedge for Bitcoin/crypto, and Fiat.

Plus it's just easier to tip people in physical sound money than give them a whole thing about Bitcoin, and how it works.

It says I appreciate your service, and I don't want you deflated, or bored to death.

If they catch on, they'll keep it, if not then I'll just take them back.

USPS overshot my goldback package in the longhaul into a few towns over 🙃.

The package will probably still make it within this week as expected but it's just annoying to know that the package went through the town where it's supposed to be delivered.

It's whatever, not the end of the world but just mildly annoying.

Primal doesn't like the Icelandic URL, but it's pretty solid. Would love feedback if you use it. Select your available equipment, your intensity, then the type of workout you like and it will craft it based on parameters ---> WOD dot IS

Awesome 😎 the best 💪🏼 you’re going to love it 💪🏼 I’m down in Paraguay 🇵🇾 it’s a challenging place to do this kind of a complete restoration to say the least… I’m new to the country so no home/garage to use, but I’ve met some great people and found a solid mechanic shop that knows the 80 well to do the major mechanical work for me while I do as much as I can and use specialty guys for the different pieces of the puzzle… iron fabrication, custom steel pieces, interior restoration, etc… down here it’s all individual guys who have their little niche thing they do and the garage has been helping me to find those guys and restore or rebuild every major system… we are finally finished with all mechanical (mostly) and body work so we are in final stages of paint before we go for the custom rear & front bumpers, guard side-rails and then I’ll build the camping system for long term travel out and hopefully hitting the road in Dec to surf & kitesurf all of South America for the next couple years. What’s your plan for once you get your build?!

🙏🏼🫡 awesome choice! Which motor?! Mine is a ‘96… I have the original 1HDT manual completely rebuilt (first rebuild for the motor)… they’re legendary 💪🏼 post pics of the build I’ll follow!

I grew up going to Roman Catholic Church. I went through all the motions but understood none of the meaning. I’d constantly ask my mom why I had to do all of the “stuff” and confess my “sins” to some stranger in a confessional booth. It felt hollow and mechanical. I left that tradition the moment I turned 18, determined to forge my own path.

But life has a way of humbling us. I got married at 20, had my first son at 22, and despite my best intentions, I found myself repeating the exact patterns I’d grown up resenting. Generational brokenness is devastatingly real. Another son came two years later, and after 10 years of marriage, I was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt. I’d sit alone some nights, confronting the uncomfortable truth that I’d become a narcissist. Everything I did seemed to revolve around my own needs and ego.

During this season, my wife started attending a non denominational church (Baptist roots). I was working weekend graveyards, so she took our boys with her. Honestly, I figured they’d all be better off without me there anyways as I’d wake up and marinate watching football all day. But over several months, I watched something remarkable happen to my wife. She became more patient, more sacrificial, more joyful. The change was so profound it got my attention in a way nothing else could.

God was working on my heart, creating a curiosity I hadn’t ever had. My wife had been quietly collecting Christian books, and I found myself drawn to Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ.” I devoured it in two days, and couldn’t put it down. The historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection was overwhelming. By the end, I was convinced not just intellectually, but in my soul: I was a sinner desperately in need of rescue, and Jesus Christ was real.

That realization changed everything because I knew it had to. If what I’d read was true and the evidence said it was, then this wasn’t just interesting information. It was the most important truth in existence, with eternal consequences.

In the many years since, God has completely reoriented my life. Through reformed theology, particularly RC Sproul’s teaching, I discovered that the dead saints often speak more clearly to our current struggles than most contemporary voices. Reading the Puritans and reformers showed me that God’s sovereignty and grace aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the foundation of transformed living.

The truth is, I didn’t choose God. He chose me. While I was spiritually dead, consumed with myself, He pursued me with relentless love. That grace has transformed my marriage from the inside out, revolutionized how I father my sons, and given me a brotherhood within the body of Christ I never knew I needed.

Now everything I do flows from that love. Everything I do here on Nostr is through that love. Not perfectly, but purposefully. I’m the same man, but I’m not the same man.

If you’re reading this and something resonates, don’t wait. Pick up a book. Ask the hard questions. Examine your life honestly: Are you just happy, or do you have joy? Happiness depends on circumstances; joy transcends them. One is temporary satisfaction; the other is eternal security.

I promise you, investigating the claims of Christ will be the most important thing you ever do. Not because I say so, but because He is who He says He is. And that changes absolutely everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You know why we all "got" Bitcoin earlier than most?

We are all seeking freedom

Negative. Maybe when it’s .01

Been all in on ancient Egypt stuff lately, some of this stuff is insane. There are stones so big in structures that we couldn't move them today. The largest stone we've moved in modern times required a giant custom built truck moving at 4mph and this stone is a 1/3rd the size of stones inside of Egyptian structures, and there are multiple of this size.

They would pause the preferred dividends before selling the bitcoin.

If the Federal Reserve is “not federal” and owned by private banks… why is the taxpayer footing the bill for their new marble palace? Asking for every American who pays rent to live in drywall.

how many people do you think self custody more than one bitcoin?

I watched the 2 seasons of the Star Wars limited series Andor on Disney. I’d recommend it for a watch. Well done, and fits in the universe well.

I personally liked them showing more of the perspective of the imperial characters and motivations.

The character I’d consider a bitcoiner dies pretty early on unfortunately, but lives on in spirit.

Anyways, anything good you’ve watched recently?

🧐 Speculative Hypothesis 🤔

the 80,000 Bitcoin that were moved yesterday (July 4th) are connected to Roger Ver & were moved into new U.S. Government wallets as part of establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Furthermore, the U.S. Government will extradite Roger from Spain & pardon him from any criminal charges, using this event as the foundation for its newly founded Bitcoin reserve.
