It’s actually hilarious how fiat poor I am.

I mean not to my wife, but to me it is 😂

Custodial wallet I believe is the reason

Dear nostr bro’s you can hit me up about your feelings.

Hodling bitcoin is fucking hard. Overcoming childhood trauma is fucking hard. Being responsible for a family is fucking hard. Living under the surveillance state is fucking hard. Getting to the gym everyday is fucking hard. Eating right is fucking hard. Knowing who to listen to is fucking hard. Getting ahead in your career is fucking hard. Sticking to your principles is fucking hard. Making friends in adulthood is fucking hard. Dealing with the death of parents is fucking hard. Trying to claw your way out of nihilism is fucking hard. Life is fucking hard.

Sometimes you just need a bro to listen. nostr:note1tcyesknnwndgc4p493kzclen5yh7yhajutdpxrft3rhw2dtd2rvs20hxj5

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, AS GBTC BAGHOLDERS CONTINUE TO ESCAPE FROM BARRY'S TOXIC ISLAND, HUMBLE STACKERS ABSORB THE CHEAP BITCOIN - WE STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS - RELENTLESS ACCUMULATION - FOREVER 🫡

I am a camera and audio moron.

I use an iPhone 14 and a DJI pocket 2 with the mic thing.

If and when I remember I try to connect up the RODE wireless GO 2.

But most of the time I forget and kick myself when I do the edits 🤣

It’s a bit annoying and fiddly so maybe Max’s set up with a boom mic makes more sense. If you’re in the field make your equipment field ready!

I committed myself to see if V4V is a valid monetization for being a creator.

If it doesn’t work this year - V4V will be dead for me and only remain a fun gimmick.

NGL being a V4V creator is the hardest mode of being a creator.

If a pleb only values my content for 2sats it’s ultimately on me to make better content so next time he’ll zap 20.000 sats.

I believe by going the hardest way this will ultimately yield in the best result. I don’t know yet what these results will be but I am here for the journey and the revolution.

Now it’s up to me - let’s make V4V fucking work 🫡 🤝 nostr:note1m7zhcqyq75qv5z5v4juw683fpc9hyl7nsvf9antsz5gdac0cl24qcfjhdu

I mainly use an A7C and some rode mics (shotgun or wireless + lavalier) In contrast to joe - 95% of the time I only use my rode shotgun mic since I don’t really have time to do a proper mic setup and just point the camera into the faces.

Hope that helps.

All of these invoices are exactly what we were doing a year ago when Bitcoin was at $16K and every single invoice was getting paid instantly. You had to FIGHT to pay it before someone else snagged it. 🥹

On the way to a wedding where I only know just one person, my gf. 💒

Gonna try to keep bitcoin to myself at lest until after the speeches.

holy crap I messed up.

I got off Nostr too long.

HOW LONG HAS ODELL BEEN ALL CAPS?? #bitcoin

Hey plebs - where is everybody?

I thought Threads was a ghost town but at least I get 40-80 likes when I post over there and I only have 7k followers over there.

Many people asked me to post over here but it just doesn’t look like anybody is engaged here.

MANDIBLES THEN BITCOIN STANDARD

"May you live in interesting times" is an interesting expression, sometimes referred to as a curse.

Many of our best stories, from literature to shows to movies, are about horrible times. They're about conflict, and people overcoming that conflict. And our heroes, both real and fictional, are tied to those times.

And yet as people with lives and families, we don't want to live through those times. We don't want to live through war, oppression, or conflict. We don't want to have to be the ones to stand up and tell some more powerful force to go fuck themselves. We'd rather read about others doing it, and how cool that was when they did.

I continue to view this period of time as "interesting" in the historical sense. The 1990s were probably the best recent time to chill, but it wasn't where history was made. The 2020s and 2030s are not as good for chilling, but from looking back in the future, it's these times where the bulk of the historical content is likely to be focused on.

For some regions, it's outright war that they're dealing with now.

For the majority of other regions, it's instead a cultural war, and an economic war. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. Do we fund those who are at war, and if so, which side? What values do we subscribe to, and who is "we"? How do we determine truth, and with what framework? For breakthrough tech, who gets to control it? Should it be centralized and regulated, or open and accessible?

And more directly it's about stepping up and saying, "It's good for people to be able to own and transfer money without state control and state dilution. And it's good for people to be able to communicate how they want to without the state silencing them. Even when they buy things and say things that I disagree with." That won't be an easy battle.

Someone on Twitter sarcastically asked me today what army defends Bitcoin. My answer was:

"The army of encryption and energy spread around the world.

A shield, not a spear."

The same is true for Nostr, in a slightly different way. The developers and relays, and the people willing to use it and finance it, are what defend it.

Communication and value are the two key components of free commerce. All of those people today who build strong shields for communication and value are living in interesting times and contributing to them in a positive way.

WE POST IN CAPS.

WE LIKE THE COIN.

WE STACK THE SATS.

NOBODY IS BULLISH ENOUGH. LFG 🫡
