Driving to Texas for my sister's retirement party. She doesn't know I'm coming. I said my goodbyes to her at Christmas. I don't commit to things out in the future. I'm just not confident I'll be here or, if I am, I'll be feeling well enough. It makes work interesting, since we obviously have to plan.

Anyway, while my wife drives, I'll share something about my condition. Don't expect anything to really sound like anything you've ever heard of, this is an iatrogenic condition, not a disease. I might even be unique in today's world. Since the knowledge is redacted, if someone else does have this, I pity them since they have no idea what's going on.

With this condition, your pituitary goes into a much more active role in order to control electrolytes due to an imbalance. As a result, an infection, candidiasis, is forced INTO cells and out of circulation. This causes cell adoptions

The Na/K pump runs in reverse as the fungus accumulates potassium and changes the gradient. In short, cells shrink.

This has a lot of effects. At times, this burns. But, the real effect you notice externally is tight skin. The original article talked about how men with this condition were favored by the ladies because not only could they not gain weight due to how it changes ATP generation, but I'm the final stage, the men had the bodies of 20 year-olds with no wrinkles or skin sagging. There was also mention of certain stamina increases, but I'm not here to toot my own horn. 🎺

In short, I don't look my age (other than the grey hair).

It's anecdotal, physically, but 30 years after I read that article, it's proven true just like everything else.

Back then, we called him boogah

I've done the math. The weapons were ours, not theirs. Let's see your math. Something tells me we have different levels of mathematics in our background.

"The United States is the primary financier of major weapons used by Israel, providing around 68-69% of its arms imports between 2013-2023. Since 1948, the U.S. has supplied over $130 billion in bilateral aid, mostly military."

I did weapons, you do lives.

"We don't like smart people. Let's all be ignorant together. "

Prices are about to adjust and everyone is not getting a raise. There are layoffs coming, too. Actually sold a little bitcoin for some "lifestyle chips."

Meanwhile, the stiffness and ache have spread to my left back. Never fun to get the next symptom. Whatever. Had a nice day working and listening to podcasts and streams. Nice enough.

I'm documenting a redacted illness. This weekend, maybe I'll pick one of the more bizarre moments of it and explain. Essentially, it's an iatrogenic condition that creates a long Rube-Goldberg chain reaction between the immune system and an invader, candidates.

I'm sure I'd get there. I've built multiple 4 card mining rigs. I spend all day dealing with systems and data.

What I've learned is that I know how, there can be unexpected issues, and my time is best spent doing what I want to do instead of what I'm forced to do.

Well, the miniPC I ordered to turn into a bitcoin node and Nostr relay had Windows on it. I've never used Linux, so, I'm ordering one with Ubuntu. Yes, grok could walk me through installing it. I'll go with the 100% sure approach.

Anyway, The Cleveland Clinic called today. I had to move one appt around. I think I have four appts. I went ahead and booked plane tickets and a hotel. I'm just going there to document whatever they can or can't find. If they still can't prove it is what I know it is, then I'm completely right to keep documenting. Someone should know about it, since they obviously don't.

It's been harder to walk the last couple days after a large walk at a soccer game this weekend.

I had Old Man Band last night. We were all there. They're all boomers and I'm GenX, but I'm good singing most anything from the 60's on up.

I feel that I should share these trivial things. They are who I am, and know one will believe me without knowing I'm not being 100% straight with them. It's just too unbelievable.

This. Now.

This is the great wealth transfer. Over the next two years, generational wealth will be made by maxis.

I'm investing for my estate, so it's easy for me to pick the low time-preference assets.

I'm documenting my path through a redacted illness during the most fascinating of times. I'm a data architect and engineer. My story is one of real science that was redacted. If you know a data architect, you know I'm telling the truth. Help me make the science known.

Learn about it as I go through whatever is next. It's been a 30-year journey through an iatrogenic condition. I'm scheduled for the Cleveland Clinic in July.

I'm documenting the progression of symptoms, but I'm hoping to share a little of who I am and what I think.

If you don't own bitcoin or a proxy, you are about to witness something you won't understand.

I walked too much yesterday. A walk around the house is ok but moving my son out of the dorms led to the slicing feelings in my legs. This morning, they ache.

Monday, he's off to Europa for a month of college abroad. Thank you, Satoshi.

I asked grok for an updated estimate.

I originally asked him to estimate the probability that the single best explanation for all of Trump's moves is to incite civil unrest and invoke the Insurrection act.

His original estimate a week or so ago was 60%.

Now, it's 80%.

I’d now estimate an 80% likelihood that Craddock’s theory is the best single explanation for Trump’s moves since taking office. The remaining 20% accounts for alternative motives like populist nationalism (10%), incompetence (5%), and political survival (5%). The increase from 60% to 80% reflects the mounting evidence of intentional destabilization, particularly through recent protests, institutional erosion, and the border escalation.

Bullish or bearish?

I can't recall a time in bitcoin where I felt this bullish. Class of 2014. I bought myself a little GBTC so I would keep track. I had 5 multicard miners in 2017. Still have some of that ethereum. I wasn't a maxi, yet.

The macro absolutely sucks. The economy is going to go to shit, but I think bitcoin pushes through this one.

Most of the world has no idea.

Picked up Strive yesterday. Up 250% since then. It's about to get crazy. I love their approach and I trust Werkman and Walton ($MSTR TRUE NORTH). I have no idea why they're in bed with two car salesmen, Vivek and Lutnick, but they will make good business decisions.

I'm having a good week pretty much all around. My symptoms are less. The legs still ache, I'm still slow, but everything is less bad including the GI stuff.

I enjoy these periods of the illness more than the bad times, obviously. But, at this point, I realize that it means something else is next. What? A progression, that's all I know. When? I don't know. I do know the gaps get smaller. They were a decade, then years, then every few months. Lately, it's been weeks or, sometimes, days. So, I'm not getting too comfortable, but I'm enjoying it.

I'm documenting my journey through a redacted illness.

Tomorrow, I get to help my son move out of his dorms after his freshman year.

I really would have bet everything I had that I would never see that. 🙏🫂

Good.

Trump will be the downfall of our country if we allow this type of blatant, in-your-face corruption. He's causing people to hesitate on bitcoin because of people like David Sacks. Clean it up.

Remove the tax exempt status. I was raised in the Methodist church. I have 13 years of church choir, and 13 years of handbells. I've been to lot of potlucks and services. The trips I took with my choir and youth group showed me four countries and over half the states. Great kids.

But, today's mega churches are just about money. Life Church's pastor lives the life of the ultra rich. No thanks.

As a Strategy holder since the day after Saylor announced, I've watched most of their episodes. Strategy maintains low leverage. Saylor is the one creating adoption as a SoV. I appreciate the entire catalog. IMST, MSTY, STRK, STRF, MSTR, MSTU.

Got it. Your are not a fan of the Constitution.

Is it more retarded than forgoing due process for residents and citizens? Because, honestly, that's a more of a pressing concern (to me at least). along with the wave of self-inflicted layoffs that will be hitting over the next six months. And yes, they are coming.

My topic for this morning picked itself last night. I had noticed that my leg pain was improved. That's how this works, it changes.

I also noticed my pants felt like they were fitting differently, so I weighed myself. I used to do that every night. Why? Well, you can't put on fat or lose it in this condition. All weight gained or lost is fluid and electrolytes. The fat thing is because ATP isn't generated the same way and so excess calories cannot be stored. The fluid thing is then a kind of barometer for changes occurring. Suddenly lose or gain weight? Then something changed. Some limit was hit and fluid is lost or gained in a side-effect of whatever is compensating for the new changes.

When this transition started in a January of 2022, I was around 190. My highest ever. I was about 5'6“ (that changea some too due to osteoporosis and apoptification). But it was all fluid being held tightly by my cells. That transition is caused by the back pressure in the inferior vena cava that caused much of the condition finally releasing. This is a moment in time I remember. I felt it. This causes a change in the pressure across the kidneys and a release of all the fluids being held in the interstitial spaces. I lost 40 pounds in a couple months while eating pretty normally the whole time. It's an odd form of temporary polyuria marked by frequent, urgent, high specific gravity output. That's about five gallons. Plenty of urgent trips to the toilet.

Anyway, it's the most noticeable thing about this condition. The fluids build and are released for different reasons at other points along the three decades. Even in this last three years, my weight has twice gone under 150 only to rise back above 170 accompanied by various other changes. All fluids.

Anyway, I noticed my pants fit differently and weighed myself. I've gained five pounds since a week or two ago. So, we are moving into whatever is next. I know walking will still be hard but I think the pain will be less.

I think I sort of understand what's next, but I'm prepared for the worst. While that sounds dramatic, the more peaceful interludes have grown less frequent and shorter.

Essentially, it's electrolytes. However my body was getting rid of them during this time has started slowing down. As they build up, more liquid volume is required to keep the osmolality the same. At some point, I will again hit the volumetric limit and then my blood osmolality will begin increasing. This will put pressure on my pituitary, which is what is driving my system. It will work harder until it cannot.

I write to document. I don't care about readers or followers. This condition is redacted. I know about the science and think science sounds not be centralized and controlled. So, I document my journey with Terminal Onset Diabetes Insipidus with Candidiasis.

My first full day as a Primal 2025 OG.

I tend to see things really early. Like really early. I owned a ton of NVDA and AMD in the sub ten dollar range, bought the first mp3 players, etc. Typically I'm so early I get bored and move on before things even really get going.

I really see a protocol like Nostr having huge impact on the next decade. So, maybe it will be Nostr.
