Which level are you?

- Level 1: Bitcoin is a crypto currency

- Level 2: Lol, BTC is gambling

- Level 3: I’m too late to BTC

- Level 4: I hold BTC, ETH, XRP etc.

- Level 5: I only hold BTC

- Level 6: BTC is the key to fixing the world

Global liquidity will soon rip again to finance record levels of government debt. Guess what's the best asset to soak up this liquidity? #Bitcoin

There is no second best.

Moment of vulnerability here, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience before.

I completely LOST it on another person's kid today when I thought they had intentionally hurt my daughter, but I was wrong and now I feel horrible.

Context: on a road trip with another family. The other child has behavioral issues and has been known to get physical in the past with others at school and daycare. Over the course of the trip he's been pretty poorly behaved and aggressive but not downright violent... but I had it in the back of my mind that it could happen.

My daughter was playing with him in the other room, then suddenly runs out screaming, bleeding from the mouth and saying that he had hit her. I've never experienced anyone intentionally hurt my little girl and I instantly flew into protective dad mode before properly assessing the situation. In my mind he had punched her in the mouth.

I stormed into the room and flew into a rage, screaming at the absolute top of my lungs, pointing my finger in the kid's face saying to NEVER touch her EVER again. His mom was right behind me. He was likely terrified and I was honestly way beyond any level of anger I've ever felt.

In the next minute or two my daughter then clarified that it was an accident and they had been playing rough but had unintentionally slammed into each other.

The boy cried, his mom was in shock, and she also had tears in her eyes. I feel absolutely awful about the whole situation, I should have had more self control, and I'm a little in shock how quickly I became an absolute monster to a young kid.

I apologized in the moment to both of them and sent a message after saying I should have handled the situation better.

Just really upset about the whole thing, unsure how to proceed now. Any girl dads out there ever have this happen to them?

I just gave a friend an update on what Nostr is and showed a bunch of apps in the ecosystem. Showing how fast it is and how all of these apps use the same identity and data but are different in their focus. He has been around the space of social media protocols for years but he was blown away.

We’ve really got something amazing. We need to do a better job of show and telling the story. It’s not about just zaps or censorship resistance or the way we’re doing web of trust moderation. We’ve built something which works really well. It fulfills the dream of the early days of the internet, web, and Web 2.0. An open interoperable internet, by and for the users.

As an aside, yes bitcoin is part of it, but it’s so politicalized that some people dismiss nostr as that bitcoin social media protocol. We see people join nostr and through it discover bitcoin, that’s the path to wide adoption.

21M #Bitcoin is not only for 8 billion people, it’s also for 334 million companies and 205 nation states.

On top, about 4 million coins lost forever, 1 million owned by Satoshi and another couple millions HODLed forever.

#Bitcoin is a lot scarcer than you might think.

I was going to therapy for awhile.

Then I orange pilled my therapist at 68k.

Haven’t been back since 😂

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus and keep aiming.

An issue with Universal Basic Income that I haven't seen addressed is that it would become an annuity that people will find ways to borrow and spend against.

Thus degenerate or desperate recipients will just make purchases today against their "credit line" of future annuity payments. Not sure how you'd prevent this in practice.

Why not both?

Dude, Youtube is cracking down hard and it's insanely frustrating. My go to for YEARS for getting video and audio pulled from youtube in order to make clips, transcribe, use found footage, etc has just stopped working, It's all throwing back errors.

Legacy platforms are literally becoming hot garbage. This is all such bullshit.

As much as it pisses me off, it's at least a (albeit slow) self correcting mechanism. Because if i can't record or download stuff from Youtube... I literally will use it half as much, *at best.*

Bitcoiners don't have the same consumer patterns as Fiat people. Until you understand that it's going o be hard to get sats from them.

First principles thinking is now more important than ever before.

i read a lot of monero here atm, here's my little story: sold 10 btc two days ago, had to go through a kyc hell (as the non-kyc market is dead/never worked for bigger amounts) ... bitcoin has become part of the surveillance state, sad but true

Anyone who cares about our future and the future of our kids should own #Bitcoin in self custody.
