I don't really understand why I should buy MSTR instead of bitcoin

Fiat seems pretty risky

Angry bitcoin skeptics in my Instagram

Instead of crying about "spam" (actual miner-subsidizing use of the chain), there should be crying about bitcoin's privacy issues.

It's an odd time to get hysterical over "spam."

My roommate asked if I thought about us getting separate one-bedroom apartments.

Me: "As you've observed during the Thermostat Wars, I'm willing to tolerate extreme discomfort to save a few bucks. So I'm down to keep living with you."

Never heard of you but I'll start following now

Europe gets a violent (F4 or F5) tornado about once every five years. The 2021 South Moravia F4 tornado speared debris into the ground, mangled cars, and removed several inches of topsoil in some locations. Six were killed and 576 injured on its 17-mile path across Czechia. https://blossom.primal.net/24c7cf0ecc079485e70262e4de630ad2bae0ed3bb2edb2918985f954939a288e.mp4

Samourai case update: The government doesn't think the prosecutors' conversations with FinCEN are a big deal.

The Government pointed to communications relevant to Count One: conspiracy to commit money laundering. According to the Government, the conversations with FinCEN could only be relevant to Count Two: conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business.

As I predicted, the Gov't argued that FinCEN's opinions are irrelevant. Noting the end of the Chevron doctrine, the Gov't argued that "FinCEN published guidance, let alone the informal opinion of FinCEN employees, are not regulations or rules and have no authoritative effect."

Good morning, Nostr.

Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine in the world.

It stimulates your body to "eat" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally an inner doctor.

This is how to fast properly (according to science): 🧵

Many people think fasting is only for weight loss or to give the digestive system a break.

But the "magic" happens at the cellular level through autophagy.

This is where the body literally begins to devour itself.

Autophagy = cellular cleanup.

During prolonged fasting, cells begin recycling damaged proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and even early-stage cancer cells.

The body finally has a chance to eliminate the accumulated waste that has been causing inflammation and disease.

What does science say about fasting?

A 2014 USC study showed that 72-hour fasts triggered the regeneration of white blood cells from stem cells, essentially reactivating the immune system.

It's well known that fasting works for many conditions.

But why? Because...

It addresses a root cause that modern medicine often overlooks:

The accumulation of cellular debris, damaged proteins, and weakened mitochondria causes chronic inflammation.

Removing these allows for natural healing.

Now that you understand the science, here's how to perform a 72-hour fast:

Before you start: Prepare your body (2-3 days before) Start intermittent fasting (16:8 method) at least 3 days before your extended fast. Eat during an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours. This gradually activates your metabolism to burn fat.

At the same time, reduce carbohydrates and increase healthy fats in the days leading up to the fast.

This begins your body's transition into ketosis even before you begin the full fast.

Good fats to focus on include avocado, olive oil, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil.

Hours 0-24: The Challenge Phase

The first 24 hours are challenging, but manageable.

Your body is shifting to burning fat, which causes hunger, irritability, and energy swings. This is normal and temporary.

Your hunger hormone, ghrelin, begins to stabilize after the first day.

Hours 24-48: The Transition Phase

Around 36 hours, many people report an increase in mental clarity and energy as ketones fuel the brain.

Growth hormone increases by 300%, preserving muscle mass and boosting fat burning.

Fat loss accelerates dramatically.

Hours 48-72: The Healing Phase

The last 24 hours are where the deepest healing occurs.

Chronic joint pain may disappear, along with other positive changes, during this phase.

Mental fogginess dissipates as inflammation subsides.

How to overcome it without suffering?

Drink 2 to 3 liters of pure water a day.

And supplement with electrolytes.

This reduces discomfort.

What can you consume during this 72-hour fast?

• Pure water (still or sparkling)

• Black coffee (no cream or sugar)

• Black tea (herbal or regular)

• Electrolytes (as listed above)

That's it. Purists only drink water.

The most important thing: How to break a fast?

• Start with bone broth.

• Wait an hour and then eat one or two scrambled eggs or avocado.

• Wait another hour before eating a light meal with protein and healthy fats.

• Avoid carbohydrates, sugar, and processed foods for at least 24 hours afterward.

Not eating for 72 hours isn't easy.

The first time is the hardest. The second is challenging, but manageable. By the third, you'll be surprised at how easy it becomes.

Your body learns and adapts, making each subsequent fast more comfortable.

The benefits accumulate.

That sounds fucking terrible

Cash App won't let you install on GrapheneOS. Which hurts because all my banking apps work on it

It's ridiculous that my only app that doesn't work on GrapheneOS is CashApp. Even Chase and Bank of America let me use GrapheneOS.

I'm just getting back to Nostr, and I have to say I'm not really a fan of Primal. I uninstalled and am on Amethyst.

I don't mean to shit on anyone's project, but demanding my name to send zaps is offensive. Even though I have my own Lightning wallet from which I can send sats, you cannot bypass this KYC step within Primal. That's the wrong direction for this ecosystem.

When I lose at Smash Bros., the game is mindless button mashing. When I win, it's the ultimate battle of wits.

Just looking to find my zap daddy on here 🥺
