Today I'm celebrating 11 years with my wife! Being married to a freedom loving bitcoiner is the best.

We worked together at Blockchain(dot)info as the first two employees for 5 years. Anyone who has ever worked for a startup knows how crazy it can be, especially the early days. It's not a 9-5, it's a 24/7.

We've watched Bitcoin go from < $10 ancap money to what it is today. We couldn't have made it through all those ups and downs without being aligned philosophically.

It's not all about Bitcoin, of course, but the freedom movement is how we met. It started with that foundation and grew into a deep bond.

Here's to the next 11 years, and many more after! 🥂

The fact that this is the type of thumbnails that "work" is disturbing

I am really excited about my upcoming Nostr web app dashboard. I think it should also include an app store for Nostr web apps.

It's time to bring this vast microservice ecosystem together and utilize it's full potential.

Public beta in 1 week 🤙

I have perfect pitch and for the last few months it's dropped by a half-step.

Really quite peculiar how this happens - apparently expected with age.

Do not like.

Heard a theory last week that Judas betrayed Jesus in order to provoke him to foment a revolution against the Romans. Judas truly believed that Jesus was the messiah, but he misunderstood what that messiah came to do.

It's no wonder he was named Judas, he was following in the footsteps of his eponym, Judas Maccabeus. The fact that Judas is now seen as the basically worst person in history has probably prevented numerous revolutions in its own right.

Revolution is not the way to freedom, freedom comes through submission to the King.

I just finished reading Democracy, the god that failed by Hoppe. I can recommend it, it's great.

One image I’ve had in my head for awhile is of myself and my wife in a cabin mansion at Christmas time surrounded by our daughters and their family.

Being able to bring it all together in reality is probably my biggest personal goal.

It’s why I HODL.

Today I was able to use midjourney to visualize it.

This is more or less exactly what was in my head.

Wild.

I’m going to be using image generation more and more as a tool to visualize goals.

I learned in an old way and got 1 for the answer. How you apply rules seems different by generations/regions!

= 8 / (2 * (2+2))

= 8 / (2 * 4)

= 8 / 8

= 1

1 - Parentheses

2 - Exponents and Roots

3 - Multiplication

4 - Division

5 - Addition

6 - Subtraction

Math has been taught different ways since I was in school and my mom and my kids so they change it so we be all confused with each other

My girls were fighting over a babydoll. I took it and offered to cut it in half to see which one really cared for it. They both cried and I got a dirty look from the wife. 🤷‍♂️

I won the lottery guys! Got an exit row to myself!

HODLers are born in bear markets

We live in a time where to be “edgy” you have to sound like a grandmother.

- earn as much money as you can

- get married

- have as many kids as you can

- stop being degenerate

- go to church

Because society is basically telling you to live for yourself and that is a one way ticket to a wasted life.

“How do I orange pill someone on #Bitcoin when I only have 1-2 minutes?”

⬇️⬇️⬇️

The first step is to tell them to clear their entire schedule for the next 72 hours.

Then, start with a 6 hour rant about the Federal Reserve. Don’t let them interrupt or go to the bathroom.

Follow that up with a 4 hour explanation of why they are a statist cuck if they don’t self custody with a 5 of 7 multisig.

Make sure they understand that they’re not allowed to *buy* Bitcoin. They have to mine it. Otherwise the sats will be KYC and those are for cucks. But they need to build their own miner from only open source parts suppliers otherwise they are a Bitmain cuck.

Then, sit them down and force them to read out loud the Fiat Standard, Bitcoin Standard, and Principles of Economics — no water breaks.

Next, they need to build their own computer using only items that can be found at an abandoned RadioShack. They’ll use this computer to set up their #Bitcoin  and Lightning node.

Then, have them generate their first seed via dice rolls with dice they personally crafted from whale bones.

Make sure they add a pass phrase that is a random string of characters created based on solar flare randomization. They should also write the algorithm to generate this themselves, obviously.

Once all this is done ask them “are you ready to start using Bitcoin?”

If they respond “yes” SLAP THEM TWICE and say “NO ONE IS EVER READY.”

Now, offer to send them some Bitcoin but DO NOT SEND THEM ANY BECAUSE BITCOIN IS ONLY FOR STACKING NOT SPENDING.

Then hog tie and blindfold them and drive them to the middle of bear-infested Alaskan forest. Leave them with only an OpenDime to defend themselves.

And that’s it! Now they’re finally ready to *start* learning about Bitcoin.

…

What was the question again?

Awesome, that's a fantastic tool. Can't wait to see it.

So I know it’s easy to say go woke go broke

Like this whole bud light thing

It seems like they don’t even care if they crash the stock

I remember thinking a while back if Nike cared about their business why on earth would they continue this insanity…

The answer is clear now

Nike doesn’t own Nike

Larry fink and vanguard do…
