NOSTR ONLY 2024 🫡

20yo don't know a world without patriot act, without KYC-everything, without TSA. withiut data-retention laws.

Stopping the erosion of individual freedoms is not enough; for this generation, the current status quo is the natural state of things.

The odds that bitcoin rips post-ETF and halving is high.

The odds we hit a recession/depression in 2024/2025 unless they cut rates and print is high (imo).

The average person was incredibly impulsive and prone to manipulation over the past 3 years. They won’t listen to your “orange pilling” logic when they are asset poor AND cash flow poor.

A call to crypto flippers

Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.

You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.

I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.

But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.

I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.

So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.

We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.

Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.

Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.

So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!

God resides within each of us.

He’ll tell you what to do if you listen closely with an open heart and a clear mind.

Money velocity = GDP / Money Supply

As the denominator grows it goes to zero.

Here's the whole chart... I'm sure there's a good reason he left off the last 3 years🤔

If you're using circular rebalancing right now in this high fee environment. Not only are your fucking over your peers, you're probably the cause of a lot these force closes. Fucking STOP IT or learn to swapin/out with liquid.

Mempool is smaller now, time to coinjoin & consolidate!

These weak attacks show absolute lack of substance.

Got something of substance to add to the conversation?

Just when I think it couldn't get stupider... Grown men simping for ordinals.

Rugged again. It’s all so tiresome.

At this point it’s fair to say that the Economist just a fud rag.

STOP TELLING OTHER PEOPLE HOW THEY CAN AND CAN'T USE #BITCOIN

This is what derangement looks like.

I hate myself for playing along, but just sat down to watch “Leave the world behind” to see what the Buglords have in store for us next.

Went for a quick nap at 2pm before a few meetings in Morocco.

I slept through two alarms and woke up at midnight 😮

Never forget that at anytime we can do this
