A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Not sure if he really was your friend.

The Spanish judiciary has issued an order to ban Telegram in Spain. As per the judicial mandate, all internet service providers (ISPs) are required to block access to Telegram in the coming days. The rationale behind this action is the prevalence of piracy on the platform.

It would be good to have the option, but I prefer to zap in a public way.

My numbers are far from elite, but its honest work:

- I run 1 kilometer in 5 minutes.

- I swim 1 kilometer in 20 minutes.

- I climb 6a to 6c routes.

Bon dia senyor Enric 🧙‍♂️

I’m Bailey. 👋 here to learn about bitcoin, talk about health, and troll nostr:npub18ukvmtrnk8e56g600r0vv8wvhvacgd452jajnws5gpttkglzttgqe0quqm

One thing about me is that I am perpetually curious — specifically obsessed with the brain, nervous system, and mental health.

I plan to disrupt the mental health system & help people remember that it’s our birth right to live in connection, freedom, and abundance. Small goals.

The more I learn about decentralization, the clearer it becomes that if our money’s broken, so is everything else. Especially our health.

So yeah, hi. Let’s fix this shit.

Welcome! Please don't post about bitcoin, my feed is already overloaded. That brain stuff sounds worth reading. Keet it up! 🤓

This is not expected to do with socks on 😂

Winter days. But daytime gets longer.

I would love my feed to prioritize communities (I follow) over users (I follow). There is any client working on this?

Good choice! Usually during the Black Friday they do great offers. Just in case you need some extra in the future 😁

The guy needs a few more cirurgies, but its getting there.

Do you think an alternative DNS root zone could add any value? Chris Jeffrey (bcoin) and Joseph Poon (lightning network) created Handshake DNS a few years ago. You need however an ad hoc resolver to acces the root zone.
