God, Family, Bitcoin, SCUBA…in that order.

Reminds me of this show I’m watching “Dark Matter” on AppleTV!

My Christmas present from my kids! They turned my 10 1/2 year old dog Murphy into a light-up/picture framed cartoon dog! I’m not gonna lie…I love it.

Lololololololololol

Truth!

Even worse is when the snort and scream with too much weight on the bar, barely go down at all, then strut away from the rack!

🤣🤣🤣

As this year winds down I find myself incredibly glad there is a place to truly engage with others. A place free of corporate control, narrative pushing, and shadow-banning.

If I don’t like what someone is saying, I unfollow them, simple.

But this is a place where I find real people, connecting, arguing, explaining, and of course…shit-posting, and I’m here for all of it.

Thank you Nostr!

Think about our kids, at our age. Without Bitcoin, would be awful. They wouldn’t be able to own anything, and forced to work their lives away and never have anything to show for it.

I’m praying that being relatively early to Bitcoin (first buys in 2020…thanks to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z influence) will be a difference maker for my kids. 🙏🏻

Good luck!!! Post pics if you’re successful!

It’s the ultimate lie…I’m not saying higher education isn’t needed in certain situations, but we were sold the lie it’s needed in ALL situations. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

Thanks for posting.

Going all in on Bitcoin was the most important decision of my life. Not for the money it would become, nor for the purpose and meaning that it would deliver to me, but because it was a decision that was truly mine.

The whole world and everyone in it has ideas of who you are suppose to be, and most of the time we conform with that in some way or another. While I did not know it at the time, I knew in my heart of hearts that Bitcoin not only had a chance to save me from a life of mind-numbing pointless work, and nihilistic existence; but more than that, it allowed for me to believe in what I saw for myself, and my own understand of it before what everyone else was telling me. It let me stand up for myself against a world that just wanted to use me and keep me in the suppressed, small role it had relegated to me. Bitcoin allowed for me to decide something else against this system that could not see the light and love that I really am.

This decision came from my own strong conviction within myself that I knew from the deepest levels within me. Even though it seemed crazy, irrational, and like it wouldn’t work to everyone else; just like most major decisions that can change your life for the better, I knew it was what I had to do for myself. There are no other people who can make these kind of decisions for you, and that is why they are them in their lives and you are you in your life. Only you can make the decision for yourself about how your life is going to be, where you are going to put your energy and how you are going to save yourself against a world that wants to exploit you like a machine, and give you worthless paper in exchange for it. You can choose something else now, but that decision is on you alone.

While I cannot promise that you’ll get rich from Bitcoin, or even that it will be a profitable decision with your timing of the markets, you will learn to have a new kind of conviction and faith in yourself which is a kind of wealth in its own right. You will learn that you can decide to take a risk on your own thoughts and decisions, and that is worth something in and of itself.

Just some food for thought going into 2025.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on your journey. Well done!

Luke Gromen alone is one of the reasons I don’t give up my X account. This was too good not to share.
