Supporting a decentralised future of sound money and technology. Study Bitcoin. Run a node! ITM!

We are getting closer to Sunday again. Seems to be the time to move.

There bitcoiners and then there are people who own bitcoin. Freedom money and speech go hand in hand.

I've been traveling all over the world for the last 8 years, so I can tell you with certainty:

White people are the least racist demographic on the planet, and it's not close.

They're so un-racist that they're the only group ON EARTH that accepts importing millions upon millions of different people from different races into their countries (yes ALL of their countries—USA, Canada, all of Europe, etc.) despite MASSIVE cultural differences with these incoming foreigners, that inevitably create friction in their local communities.

For those who grew up in a white country, this forced (often government-mandated) mixing of other cultures into their space is all they know...but this is not actually normal. This is only a white country thing.

India doesn't import millions of whites, China doesn't import millions of latinos...you can go down the list. When you stop and think, it's common knowledge that this expectation of massive demographic dilution doesn't happen anywhere else. In fact, if you were to propose it to any non-white country, they would laugh in your face. They know that this would increase crime, lower public trust, and eventually lead to their cultural demise.

On top of white countries being the only ones expected to accept mass-immigration, if any white people even THINK of preferring to live around people that look, act, and generally live like them (like every other country is allowed to)...they are swiftly cancelled, banned from everything, and branded an evil, racist, white-supremacist nazi.

Do you see why this is a bit strange? You couldn't create a clearer double standard if you tried.

(It's almost as if it's part of a larger plan to crush their ability to have a homeland or shared identity...but that's a thread for another day.)

Back to the original topic - white people's anti-racism being taken advantage of, stretched further and further, to the point where they're now often the minority in their own hometown they grew up in.

Enough is never enough...it only accelerates. More and more immigrants must be flooded in faster and faster, with no end in sight. (Again, one single word of opposition to your home being morphed into a third-world country is STRICTLY forbidden, or you are raked through the coals by society.)

As white people are further displaced from their communities, and pushed out of the housing market + ability to save money (as their taxes are paying for all of this immigration, their population enters rapid decline. Many don't know this, but whites now accounts for a measly 8% of global population (read that again 👀), and continuing to freefall toward zero.

It's worth again highlighting the very intentional political strategies put in place to accelerate this trend, such as migrants being showered with cash straight out of white taxpayers' pockets, including a house, phone plan, a debit card loaded with money, etc., all while white people's televisions are pushing a constant stream of propaganda promoting feminism, race-mixing, hyperpharmaceuticalization and more, carefully curated to convince them to stop reproducing.

This is where we're at right now. So yes, I am upset that I'm watching the dying breath of my race in real time. Just walk around any city in America and you can see for yourself - there are very few white people left in most places.

If you are a non-white person reading this and think I'm whining or being overly dramatic about my people going extinct...that's okay. You can feel any way you want.

However, I will say that if it was YOUR race (black, asian, indian, latino or otherwise) that was being pushed to extinction, I promise you that I would be fighting tooth and nail to support your efforts to preserve your race and culture.

Why? Firstly because I respect your completely natural desire for there to be other people in the world that share your cultural/genetic bond (particularly in your ancestral homeland), and secondly, because I strongly believe the world is a more beautiful place when ALL cultures (yes even those evil white people 😱) get to have their own homeland, where they can be proud of their heritage, feel safe, comfortable and secure in a high-trust environment of people similar to them, and be able to pursue their own destiny in a place that is wholly theirs.

That's all I have to say. Thank you for reading.

The programming is real.

Very tempted my Raspberry Pi is struggling 😉

I just bought a Beelink mini just over 1 year ago and it is having heat issues. I want something reliable, but it looks like I have to get the Dell Optiplex 7060 Micro to get the m.2 slot.

There are some models that may not, so always double check. Some of the larger units can host multiple drives.

Did you mean could or should exchange?

- US dollar is devaluing faster.

- Bitcoin has been volitile to the up side and often steady. If the price starts to fall they could just start swaping to USD daily, if they wanted. Stupid to do that DURING a bull market though.

- Giving an fiat exchange rate for the purchase seems like a good way to go at first, so people have context.

- If they don't have a daily time horizon and they hold BTC, they'll be in good shape.

- If they need to pay the fiat bills, then they need to pay the fiat bills. Doesn't degrade the fact that a business is taking bitcoin.

It says tryspeed on the receipt, so likely them? https://www.tryspeed.com/

If anyone is looking at getting a Bitcoin node setup, I would suggest looking at refurbished Dell Optiplex Micro computers. They sell for really cheap now that windows 10 is done and most don't support windows 11. 🤮

You can get them with 8GB RAM and a 250GB SSD for around $200 (CAD) (7050). Throw in a 2 TB NVMe (M.2) drive in it and you're ready to install node software that wants two drives like nostr:nprofile1qqsp4za5duapejf2g0exeu354jzuh8fe9fevldxhsqztk9hhtteurxgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3jamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3w0fjkyetyv4jjucmvda6kgqglwaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8wctvd3jhgmmxwdshgmmndp5jucm0d52al5wf or nostr:nprofile1qqsw5t3us9xs3gmclzjm37hvk2yy6pv9t96utjjttsj794hexc5x79qpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef092q0zz.

You can install nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2 as well, but I believe it only supports one drive (dont see an option for a second in my test rig) so everything would go on on the 2 TB drive.

I like the first two options because the OS goes on the smaller drive and all the data (wallet, timechain and lightning channels) goes on the 2 TB drive. If the OS drive blows up, you just reflash the OS drive and continue on (after a small catch-up sync of the timechain).

I prefer the Micro version of the Optiplex, since it barely takes up any space, but there are SFF and desktop size versions as well.

Far superior to running a Pi and about the same price.

It's criminal in my mind that this information can be accessed unencrypted.

Its been shut it down for a while now. They asked everyone to move their funds off a long time ago.

Running a lightning based service would be risky as soon as you run into trouble. Lightning is a bit tricky because if your backup is slightly out of date, channels are getting force closed and you'd have to manually piece together all the transaction logs. Looks like that's what they're having to do.

I played around with LNbits and LND custodial accounts back in the day and the thought of runing wallets for family members seemed very risky. If your node dies, good luck sorting it all out.
