Bought a little $CEP today on the news that it will become Twenty One Capital because while I am a hardcore #Bitcoin in cold storage maxi, this is the first time I've been able to get a stake in a nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd run company.

There are a only few savages out there operating companies who I trust to allocate and steward my capital better than I can myself, and Jack is one of them.

Godspeed brother. Stack your brains out. 🫡

Morning routine:

- Sunlight into the eyes

- DCA into the stack

- Creatine into the body

Life is good baby!

The amount of restraint it takes to not absolutely snap and start yelling at everyone in your life who hasn't gotten any #Bitcoin yet...

"All of the money in your bank account is fake and worthless!"

"The central bankers can click a few buttons and create new units out of thin air!!"

"Every war is a bankers war!!!"

God help us early Bitcoiners...

One day we'll all look back at 2020-2025 and say damn, "can't believe I was able to buy #Bitcoin that cheap.

I USED to be a piece of shit 😂

I don't know how many golf fans are on here, but man, Rory McIlroy's Masters win today was one of the most satisfying things I've witnessed in years.

What a rollercoaster ride.

I'm glad I cut my teeth in #Bitcoin in 2022. Rather I got my teeth kicked in by that bear market.

Held all the way through. Kept stacking. Held through the run up to $100k. Holding now.

Low time preference. Conviction. HODL.

Absolutely thanks.

I believe what I downloaded was a "pruned node" that isn't the entire network history. So it doesn't take up quite as much space.

That said I want to have a node going so I can make my contribution to decentralizing the network.

Makes sense. I haven't gone as far as setting up a separate node yet. I understand the value of running a node though, so I've found this to be an easy route.

I usually just run the node at home and use a separate laptop to work during the day.

Please explain this to me like I'm a non-technical retard.

Is it worthwhile for me to simply run Bitcoin Core on my laptop all day? Even if I don't hold any coins in the wallet that's monitoring the ledger?

Decentralized wealth.

Decentralized health.

Decentralized information.

Let's fucking go.

As insane as 2020 - 2024 was, somehow I think 2025 - 2029 will be more insane.

Tariffs shmariffs. Sats on sale baby.

You know what the last 4-5 years taught me?

You have to be a warrior in this life.

It is so easy to get complacent, comfortable, and domesticated. But you leave yourself vulnerable to predators if you let yourself go.

A warrior mentality is necessary, no matter how well off you are. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're violent. It just means that you're capable of defending yourself.

Mind, body, and spirit. You have to be constantly getting stronger and smarter. More resilient.

As brutal as this decade has been so far, it has been a much needed wake up call. There are dangerous enemies out there that want to harm you and me. They want to attack us and take our stuff.

The wise move is to make it extremely difficult for them to be successful with their attacks. Take nothing for granted.
