Bitcoiner + Winemaker = accepts bitcoin for wine (Canadians only, for now)

Good perspective on the indigenous situation here in BC.

To really know your enemy, you have to become your enemy

Last pressing of Pinot Noir today marking the end of harvest. We will be switching gears from harvest to bottling. First batch of cider canning will be in December.

Check out the pallet of Madex Merlot casually chilling in the cellar. Still have to wax the tops of most of them.

Canada is not a real country.

Marginally cooler in general yes. But it still gets damn hot in the south in Osoyoos where the grapes were grown. 2022 was a great vintage

Cold snap came early. Had to pickup all the pumpkins from the patch and move inside last night, then put them out this morning and pack up again this evening. Approx 1000 pumpkins.

That’s farming for ya.

Thankfully had help from the family. There was no debate or arguing, we just went to work and got it done.

It’s about time we saw some VOLATILITY!

What does Stack Sats, Stay Humble mean to me?

Being humble is having gratitude & contentment with what you have and what you are.

Bitcoin is inevitable, working harder for your future than your worrying about the present.

Work on your mindset to be happy with what you have so you can be ready for what Bitcoin will bring you.

The future will never exist, the past isn’t real - now is all there is.

If you aren’t content and happy NOW with a cup of coffee or a moment with a loved one, nothing about “the future” will bring you happiness.

If you’ve been on a journey of betterment and change, often you hit resistance from people around you. “I would be happy, but my partner is not on board with my goals, how do I get them to support me?”

One of my mindset coaches Dan Martell says it best:

“Nobody has to change for you to win.”

Blaming your spouse for your lack of sovereignty of mind and body is not the bitcoin way. Take sincere responsibility for your actions, mindset and harness the concept of proof of work in your personal life.

Just like how in Bitcoin you can’t have a valid output without the proper inputs, it works the same with your mind.

Practice coin control with your life not just your UTXOs.

Bitcoin does the heavy lifting for your future, you need to do the heavy lifting for your present.

Scrolling twitter? Bad input.

Constantly watching the macro and following every economic news item? Bad input.

Bad inputs lead to bad outputs (worrying, trolling, arguing.)

Start controlling your inputs by building a citadel mind and body to handle the citadel wealth that will come to you from your Bitcoin conviction.

What is a citadel mind? Take the problems you have right now and amplify them by 10X. Could you handle them?

Bitcoin brings abundance through scarcity, but if you have a scarcity mindset you’ll have an abundance of problems.

It’s easy to START cultivating a humble mindset. It takes work to stay humble.

Wake up earlier and read a book or watch a video on mindset development.

Learn how to become a better leader.

Learn how to become a better wife/husband/parent.

Learn how to set goals.

Practice gratitude for what you have.

Tick tock next block applies to your life, however unlike in bitcoin consistency compounds over time to REDUCE the difficulty.

Your willpower is like blockspace, it’s a limited resource that renews after a time. Do you want to use all your willpower on the equivalent of spam transactions? “Should I wake up or sleep in? Should I go on my phone to check notifications while having my morning coffee? Should I avoid this muffin at the drive thru? Should I troll this dumb post about Bitcoin? Should I hit the gym today?”

These micro decisions use your willpower & clog up your ability operate efficiently and have valid outputs.

The more you control your inputs, set goals and show up to do the work, the consistency replaces the need to use willpower and the difficulty reduces and it gets easier to solve the puzzles.

Consistency is to willpower like the lightning network is to the mempool.

DCA towards staying humble and achieving your goals.

Daily Consistent Action.

Consistency & a clear vision bypasses the need to spend willpower bringing the cost to achieve your goals and solve your problems down to 0 sats/vbyte.

If you do this, as Bitcoin marches towards inevitability and brings you abundance - you can take on the greater and greater challenges that come with greater wealth & power.

If you need some resources that have helped me, feel free to ask. If you have some resources that have helped you, please share.

The California Senate just passed SB-771 Personal rights: liability: social media platforms, which essentially negates Section 230 and will make social media platforms liable for any "hate speech" published on their platforms.

This is not getting much attention, but it would be a terrible precedent to set and would put X, YouTube, Meta, Twitch and other platforms at risk of having to pay millions in fines.

The bill stipulates that only platforms with more than $100,000,000 | 890 BTC in revenue per year would be subjected to this law.

Interestingly, the California lawmakers are attempting to use the feed algorithms as the loophole to get around Section 230 by claiming that "deploying an algorithm that relays content to users may be considered to be an act of the platform independent from the message of the content relayed." (highlighted in red in the third screenshot)

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and whether or not it gets taken to the Supreme Court if and when Gavin Newsome signs it into law, which is the last step. If signed, it will go live on January 1st, 2027.

Funny to see the Center for Countering Digital Hate cited in the bill. They threw nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7cnfw3ehgctrdvhxzursqy28wumn8ghj7cnvv9ehgu3wvcmh5tnc09aqqgy9hk6cwhs38hxfjjvtgarrv3ycsthptgw8s922kp7qvk68xwwkwg05kxcv on a list of "new climate deniers" and lobbied YouTube and other platforms to censor our content in 2023.

If you exhibit hate speech toward the designated groups laid out in the bill, the State of California could charge and fine the social media platform you publish it on. It looks like California is trying to pressure the platforms to censor their users by threatening them with fines.

Then they manipulate the definition of hate speech to whatever suits them. Sounds like US is turning into Canada.

How to convince your bitcoiner wife’s book club group to read the bitcoin standard. Or any other Bitcoin orange pill book out there. Is it more convincing or selling?
