How many priceless memories that you’ll take to your grave did you make in 2023?
How many will you make in 2024?
As a Bitcoiner, you need to develop a rhinoceros hyde or you're NGMI
Agree his Nostr takes are pretty weak.
Bitcoin is limited edition
Nostr is a flat circle

At 36 hours of a fast... Feeling bullish to go for a 3 day fast. Only ever achieved a 24 hour fasts before this.
I love nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe but he really needs a new analogy. The "my lake house" bit doesn't resonate with the common man IMHO.
Yes I'm projecting my own views to be that of all common men. Maybe I'm just a burnt out fiat serf.
Led Friedman has lost his mojo as an interviewer.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis
Human communication relies on a schema that includes some context on the sender of the information. Am I receiving this information from my mother? from CNN? from a dude on Telegram I kinda know? All of this IS critical data that informs your processing of it. To remove or hide the sender on purpose IMO would be devastating to the actual sense of communication between humans and people would not like it. Additionally, you become much more susceptible to manipulation by spam bots if you lose the metadata of source.
Backing up seeds in your brain is a liability
Not backing up seeds in your brain is a liability
Life is full of trade offs
Fiat incentivizes us to outsmart each other
Bitcoin incentivizes us to serve each other
I'm trying to procrastinate 5 minutes before my work day and you post a Magnum opus like this?
I'm going to need a cigarette
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, Lyn.
As someone who reflexively distrusts media narratives and typically isn't sure what to believe on social media, I don't have enough info to form a solid opinion.
I think I'm being manipulated to hate the people of Gaza (but I don't) and only view Isreal as a victim (I don't). I'm sympathetic to people that seem to be stuck in an open air prison. I'm skeptical of the story told about the initial assult but whoTF knows.
I have PTSD from American wars in the middle east...the infinity wars need to end. At the end of the day, rather than sort out who to be enraged at, or who is right, I simply peacefully opt out by storing my energy in Bitcoin and focusing on my family and my craft.
To the war mongers, I respectfully say GFY, I'd rather not participate in your fucked up games.
I'd prefer not to.
There's only one right answer to the question "how much Bitcoin do you have?"
Protect your wife's boyfriend and their kids
Bull market is confirmed 
Owning Bitcoin is perhaps the best form of diversification there is. It's like an ETF on global GDP with an adoption multiplier.

Hey Bitcoin fam - I want to post a brief update as I start my Junior year of Bitcoin. I enrolled in this university of life back in 2021, without realizing how much I still had to learn. Becoming aware of the Matrix, being "fortunate" enough to be pulled from it's seductive comforts, was an incredibly painful experience.
But through my education I have found more meaning and purpose in my daily existence than ever before. I have met amazing people, studied innumerable rabbit holes of technical and social bodies of knowledge, learned how to take care of my body (shed 25 pounds of fat).
Denominating your life in BTC, hodling, and making the next right decision to continue building order in your life is a beautiful thing. A low time-preference combined with being gratefulAF for this moment now is an astoundingly beautiful thing.
My freshman year of Bitcoin was highlighted by purging shitcoinery and stinking fiat thinking from my brain. The amount of deprogramming and reprogramming required to adapt to life outside the Matrix is substantial. You have to put in the work. I also became an nostr:npub132ertlsrunh600cph2au55ssmel2cqdt5mnrpxfand5ych4nmp8q50zmdh nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 & coldcard superfan in 2022, connected with my personal Bitcoin hero Craig Raw, and honed my cold storage skills in a 1 vbyte environment. Priceless.
My sophomore year of Bitcoin was highlighted by both an epic bear market to stack, getting to shake nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw hand at a Bitcoin Meetup, as well as the opportunity to get involved with The Bitcoin Product Community and then eventually the nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl project. I connected with nostr:npub1tv8gmfhalwnxxquxjzeh6gtdsdz6vg7vx0s3rt7s7uuw6aujh32qn77wn2, learned how to use Github, and brought my project management expertise to their project in support of the monumental 0.7.0 release (It's reproducible forever, Laura!). That is an amazing team of amazing humans, not the least of which was nostr:npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt (the nicest dev in Bitcoin) nostr:npub177zfcmyscnl7805qtx7cn8v9607n3s9m096fl8nev5uzqdg6mruqshdp8e (the 2nd nicest dev in Bitcoin) and MarcG. I look forward to seeing what they bring to the space in coming years. PS the Team Coldcard vs Team Seedsigner saber rattling is fun and healthy, but we’re all on the same team at the end of the day. <3
I am happy to announce at the start of my junior year of Bitcoin that I’ve been accepted by nostr:npub1jkmthefasx53u36lhzu2g7x3jwlapf235435svl2mx0tjchp57vsvvcrvd and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc into the nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f organization as an official volunteer. In this role, I’ll be helping their new Head of Fiat Operations (not a boring guy!) and the rest of the team to execute projects in support of the amazing mission and vision of OpenSats. This is going to be fun.
I’ve got a long way yet to go on my Bitcoin journey. It feels almost like a second life altogether. Every step thus far has been meaningful and I can’t wait to see what the future may bring.
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS
You say you want freedom - are you willing to fight for it? Life is a competition for energy resources and for the right to exist.
You have no fundamental rights, despite what human social abstractions may lead you to believe.
The base layer of everything is energy. You have ultimate freedom to navigate the world from within the maze of existing ordered power structures, but you have no freedom to expect those power structures to kindly step aside for you.
Just talked to my Edward Jones financial advisor friend. He owns 1.4 Bitcoin. Still doesn't understand why it has value AT ALL. But he says every client under 40 asks him first about Bitcoin. He says when the ETFs get approved every advisor will put 1% of client assets into Bitcoin "as a hedge". I'm sending him Parker Lewis' presentation "Bitcoin is not a hedge".
The obvious choice is to generate seeds offline by picking words out of a thoroughly mixed Entropia set, computing the checksum with an airgapped seedsigner (inside a back seat faraday cage of course), then load this seed into a coldcard, apply long passphrase, incinerate the closed firmware seedsigner before exiting the vehicle, visit unchained.com from a single use Linux laptop, and setup vault key #1.
Repeat x2 for optimal multi vendor unchained setup without funding shitcoining wallet companies.
This is the synthesis of everything I learned listening to Bitcoin Review Pod over the last year. ♥️💪🏼
Startups don’t become businesses until the third trimester.
When governments figure out they can have more control and compliance by handing out printed fiat rather than taxing it, the sheeple are going to be royally screwed. They’ll walk peacefully and irreversibly into the panoptic factory farm.
