So many people work 2,000 hours or more a year where they’re expected to be loyal to a company that will never do the same for them, and consider themselves lucky.

They’re offered investment plans that are limited to what their employer chooses for them so decades down the road they might have a shot at a comfortable retirement.

They take on debt to get an education, to keep up with inflation, and to fund their lifestyles.

Most don’t learn how to save what they earn on their own, and expect their banks and financial planners to offer them something, anything, to keep them from going under.

There is an alternative, of course.

It’s called #bitcoin.

Goodbye NYC. It was a great time. PubKey is fantastic.

I graduated high school with a 1.6 GPA and I dropped out of college. I’m proud of both of these facts. 😂

Good morning, Nostr.

Really looking forward to the Oslo Freedom Forum next week and all the high signal conversations with friends I’ve met over the years here.

Through this conference @gladstein and team have created the best gathering highlighting the personal tragedy (on billions of people) of broken money. It is hard not to come away from this conference moved…..and with a deep understanding of how we are doing in the #Bitcoin ecosystem matters.

If you’re going to be there, drop me a note to say hi. If not, put it on your calendar for next year.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🤙🏻🫂💜

We are on the correct path. Keep building.

GrapheneOS is good if you've got to carry one. The point is never to forget that if you're carrying a phone, you're still being tracked, even if you're limiting the damage from app-based threats. It is baked into the design oftheinfrastructure: if you can see the network, the network can see you. And it takes notes.
