I think bitcoin truly wins when it makes enough people into sovereign individuals and THEY are large enough to create all the new technologies on top of it.
It's happening. There are still a lot of sovereigns yet to be made.
I'll admit, I'm a little freaked out. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that no one besides me really knows what's going on. Even if I tell someone about this, there is too much to cover and everything changes so quickly at this point out is simply impossible to communicate the sheer scale of everything my body is going through. To them, I look fine. My changed gait is literally the first thing other than weight fluctuations from fluids that anyone would notice, in thirty years.
And that's still a concentration camp we sent people to.
The president is propaganda. NPR is actually pretty informative.
GM Nostr
To be clear, I'm not in large amounts of pain when remaining still. There have been periods like that. I've had so many phases with the condition as the body compensates for changes in a Rube Goldberg like chain reaction. Just about every type of pain is delivered at one point or another. My tolerance is high, but currently it only hurts when I move, meaning sleep isn't hard.
The right leg still hurts like it was hit with a bat when I move it but it looks fine.
One more observation for my initial post, today. 2-3 weeks ago, right after the legs started hurting, I went to sit down in my chair at the dinner table. I sat down pretty normally, landing on my right glute and I could feel the muscle fibers getting crushed. It hurt, a lot. The next day, I could not sit on that side l, it was extremely sensitive. The following day, nothing much. This is related to some change the condition makes in your immune system. Any damaged cells are completely consumed by some type of scavenging process, rogue white cells? I don't know. But, that change is key to enabling the entire process. I can't get a bacterial infection because they basically rely on attacking cells. Healing from burns is easy. It's weird.
The original article talked about some of the ways this condition improves how the body can function.
Democracy loses. Listening to NPR talk about how after DOGE came into the NLRB data was deleted and an IP from Russia attempted system access with the login information DOGE created.
USA is cooked.
Here is the kill room at the El Salvadorean Camp. You can find it on Google maps. The camp is pristinely clean except for that one spot. That's a lot of blood.

And this is why I went to frequent updates, things are changing fast. My right knee now feels like it was hit by a baseball bat, but only if I move it. Don't even need to flex it, and it's not the joint, it's the top, mostly.
GN Nostr
By the way, I welcome any honest question about my condition. I don't understand everything, but I know a lot of it.
I know things from circulatory changes to new energy pathways enabled by a change in pH. There are other things I don't remember as well, something, for example, about how the change in pH and extra potassium in the blood cells causes changes in charge and size and even confusion somehow due to these differences.
Please realize, I've spent 30 years getting to this point. I've been through so much and the condition makes changes along the way. I've always fought it.
Here is one (unbelieveable but true).
Early on, like the first year into this while my system was still adjusting and finding new set points, I was drawn. Dehydrated and drinking was just going right through me. It was similar to what I was like just before my initial change, anyway my feet would swell in the shower and it would cause polyuria.
So I fought. I got a gym membership and jumped into the pool. I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was drowning, I barely dragged myself out... Then went to the urinal. I went back every day. Eventually, I wasn't taking on water and I was swimming 30 Laps.
Admittedly, all that extra fluid caused weight gain and my feet got bigger (until later), and I got super bad blisters hiking because my skin was full of water (hard to explain).
I made my nineteenth edition of "The Latest on the Nostr! - A Weekly Nostr Recap" (April 14th, 2025) highlight notable news, releases, community milestones, upcoming events, and more from across the Nostr ecosystem. I am aiming to bring you a concise but comprehensive overview. So you can stay in the loop without chasing every thread. Below, youβll find mentions of the incredible contributors and creators whose work, insights, and enthusiasm powered this decentralized network last week.

Recap by nostr:npub19hs0lg9vyd0lghayeju5fnflx0melawjrl8etuqln9gkhd4mwtxq2t5jcn
I'm broadcasting. That's also why I'm here. My story is real. One of centralized medicine redacting a condition leaving me to fight it for thirty years through bizarre phases without the system. I'm a data architect of 30 yrs with a chemE. My story could matter. The science itself is amazing, nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpxdmhxue69uhkuamr9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshkz7tkdfkx26tvd4urqctvxa4ryur3wsergut9vsch5dmp8pese6nj96
Polls where the zaps were votes? Ads that zap you for eyeballs, articles with very low admission prices, Only Fans? I wish I could see it evolve.
Follow me.. My story is real and if it ever makes the news (which might be hard these days), it will bring attention to Nostr.
Here's something truly bizarre.
The original article I read about my condition had a large section on how a case would appear to 'modern medicine'.
You want to know what it said? Since nothing ever shows up on tests, the patient would likely be considered a hypochondriac and disregarded. So, for 30 years I've kept the same PCP, and I've gone to as few as specialists as possible at each transition. Just enough to prove, "yep, the tests don't show it."
The predicted end was either walking (ill go with limping at this point) into an er to find out why they had no movements for four days or dying in the misfire of a sentence from the final ATP being the heart valves getting apoptified by the candidiasis.
Next time I'll talk about the competing regulation of the candidiasis vs the pituitary, it's the real meat of the battle.
This science has been redacted. Please ask yourself why. I can explain how. I'll do so in another future post. The way I know about the redaction is actually the original article. I promise to explain but it's late.
Invictus
A thought you should ponder. If you own the live data coming in from everywhere, you can beat every market. How close is Apple? Google? Elon?
Chalk that one up the gummy. It's the best possible medicine for a mood altering and electrolyte retaining condition.
I wrote a note to my rheumatologist. Saying that only means I've seen her, not that she ever found anything. I'm also pretty sure I gave her quite the bad rating for not listening to my story a year ago. Rheumatologists are almost like unicorns. You MIGHT see one, if you have something that's weird long enough. But, they only have so many checkboxes and mine isn't on the list... Because they redacted it.
The leg weakness and pain continue and I feel a familiar burning, this time in my right bicep.
I'm here for whatever, whenever. It's pretty normal inside the house. My wife and I just don't talk about it, and that works. If something changes, I just mention it once. She adapts immediately. Yet, she also knows to keep pushing the boundaries to find out when they change. No, I can't walk the dogs anymore. Yes, I can go to the store (but it hurts and that's fine).
Well, the changes are happening quickly. I'm managing to be objective, somehow.
I went to costco, which was some walking. Then, just now, this evening, my right leg gave out on me. That's a first. I'll track it. It should become frequent, but how quickly?
The whole thing is just a slow gradual change that slowly conquers different systems, one after the other until all ATP has been consumed by the candidiasis.
Welcome to the world of continuous physical change. That's really the truth.
If you are a real scientist or physician, please follow, my condition is real and redacted science. It should be restored.
Still able to hobble around, but it looks silly and hurts.
Picked up lunch at Costco.

The medical field is captured by groups like The WHO and the NIH.
I don't think scientific knowledge should be controlled. Sure, pharmaceutical trials and such things should be controlled but the knowledge? No.
Unfortunately, the story of my life proves the knowledge is controlled.
Follow if you want to know more.
