This has been the most important and eventful year of my life; and the best, so far..

In order of events:

- Quit my fiat job, had multiple issues with pay and they tried to stiff me out of 6-figures on the way out but I went nuclear and got paid in full

- Relocated from Australia to Vietnam

- Moved everything here that we didn’t sell; including my old dog

- Got married

- Had an amazing honeymoon

- Got in the best shape since my early 20s

- Learned Vietnamese to basic conversational level

- Made new friends, good friends

- Moved to a new house with a pool

- Had our first child

- Read 30+ books

- Put my time and energy into things that matter to me

- First Christmas with wife and baby

#Bitcoin works. It takes time, and I’m bound to have downswings ahead like everyone (12yo dog has tumours so I’ve got that to deal with), but none of this probably happened without it.

Watching Australia go to shit from afar is more bearable. At least I don’t have to deal with the constant stupidity when I walk out the door here.

I just put down the phone and the world around me is actually normal. Walk to the beach with the old dog, get a coffee for <$1, enjoy the Sun, people say hello and are friendly, work at home then go for great dinner with friends - a far cry from what my life was like last year and much more enjoyable.

#MerryChristmas everyone. Here’s hoping you all enjoy the best of life today!

Did you try the no nickel stainless pans from Australia? It’s still on my to do list to replace a couple pans with their product.

Australia's response to the Bondi attack is not surprising but it is truly terrifying.

The governments response has been:

- Ban Protests

- Restrict speech all the way "to the constitutional limit"

- New hate speech laws

- Increase powers of a newly created taskforce to monitor and crack down on speech

All of this comes one week after nation wide teenage social media ban and the slow roll out of a KYC internet.

We only have these jobs because fiat created roles that exclusively “carbonize” we don’t call them that cause it’s not sexy, but people exist solely to burn oil for others to consume. This is the rebuttal.

It really is wild to me that the propaganda has been so strong that people literally think CO2 is bad for the environment. Even people trying to counter the idea, tacitly frame their position in this direction (like but methane is even worse!) to not cause outrage.

CO2 is literally the only reason an environment exists. It is the literal life creator.

It's like demonizing language itself as being "bad for communication."

This generational tribalism is stupid. If you think Boomers messed things up, wait until Millennials are old and fingers get pointed at them for messing up the family, gender roles, ethnic replacement of Europeans, or creating a population crash by aborting babies it's like a common cold. It's not like Millennials aren't central to major societal problems.

The true perpetrators are not the generations, but groups across generations.

YouTube just asked me to verify my age to watch a video. I have kids old enough to drink, go fuck yourself.

is the supply shock in the room with us right now? 😂

you’ll hear many bitcoin skeptics using “ai is deflationary and thats bad for bitcoin” argument. partly true, so prepare your answers.

ai is deflationary. very soon

probably within the next 5-6 yrs, the money supply to debt ratio vs business productivity will completely flip meaning productivity output will grow far faster than the expansion of money or debt. in that environment bitcoin absorbs productivity surplus and can be the best vehicle to store the excess value created.

no socks is the vibe

It has been said that if power were infinite there would be no need for a money. But human greed & ambition will never allow that.

What do y'all use for text to speech on graphene? I tried Voca a while back but it was buggy.

I haven't done one of these in a while so...

What do you need Amethyst to do that it doesn't do right now?

Right? And at spot price.

Ok you got me there

Pluribus on apple Apple TV is fucking great.

It’s an anti communist/collectivist sci fi show by the Vince Gilligan the creator of Breaking Bad.

Check it out.
