A converted gold bug… BTC class of 2022 Budding amateur radio enthusiast and long time libertarian maxi (unregistered of course) Bullish on open source technology and the incredible young devs improving it Favorite place in the world: Roosevelt, Tx pop 9 (according to the locals the google 2017 census of 98 is disinformation and includes the metro area 😳🤦🏽‍♂️🤣) Unabashed ⭕️ OG

Glad to hear yall had a good Christmas with family around and hamster and pup played nice

…I hope yall have a Happy and prosperous New Year my fren 🫡🫂⭕️

Imho (full disclosure: I’m wrong a lot!!!!) the debate of SoV vs MoE/UoA is a short vs long time preference argument.

TLDR: all roads eventually lead to the superior UoA/MoE…imo that’s clearly btc …we’re gonna win!!!

I agree with peepl who argue that the entry of institutions and the shite fookery that goes with it was inevitable… (we’re in the “then they fight you phase”) …and if BTC is money for anybody (esp our enemies) this temporary exit from our idea of freedom money was always gonna happen…we’re right where we’re spose to be…it may feel sh*tty but we’re winning

….as economies fail, the last vestige of freedom in the very soft science we call economics is inevitably black market activity (where value is inter subjective and the better MoE is demanded for goods and services).

Our current system is based on a basic fiat measurement (primarily the USD) that changes in value (compared to other fiat currencies and SoV’s) every minute ⭕️ every day (imagine building skyscrapers if the length of a cm/inch changed by the minute 😳🤯😂) …this system requires so many layers of abstraction, regulation, legions of bureaucrats, and lack of any real accountability that it is unsustainable and bound by gravity (a concept from the very hard science of physics) to fail!!!🤷🏽‍♂️

….the arrival of the very institutions to which btc is an existential threat is imo a temporary exit lane (short time preference behavior) from the inevitable “all roads lead to btc”🌅

WE’RE WINNING!!!!!

Self custody ur btc and enjoy the ride!!!….if uv got enuf then spend some of it (when the opportunities arise) and accelerate the MoE movement 🫡

This is not financial advice!!! … think of it as chicken soup for your freedom seeking soul ….and btc for last (sir) name not ur first name …u can thank my retarded *ss later!!!🤔😂🫂⭕️

⚡️🔔 A YEAR PASSES TOGETHER - One year is a complete revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

Today, nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsat8e57 closes its challenge and honors its promise: to inform you for a full year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day — weekends and public holidays included.

At first, I wanted to end on a high note. I had countless ideas: making a video edited by myself, coding a website for the occasion, doing a live stream… Then I remembered the best advice I received here: “Stay humble.”

So I’ll keep it simple.

First and foremost, please know that I am proud to have kept you informed for an entire year, with transparency, consistency, and objectivity. Believe it or not, all my notes have only one intention: to convey the truth. If some of them have upset you, that's not my problem; it's just that reality is sometimes harsh.

Here is my latest POW, the complete summary:

➥ 11,500 + 19,100 = 30,600 activity traces

➥ 30,600 / 365 = 83.83 activity traces per day

➥ 19,100 / 365 = 52.33 notes per day

➥ 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours of work

Result:

➥ 0 → 16,500 followers

➥ 0 → 5 million sats

I gave myself the means to achieve this. If you follow me, you know that I was present in your feed at any time of the day, without any automation. I swear. Everything was done by hand. The Flash touch is visible on each of my notes—that's what defines my work.

I didn't meet all my goals, but I exceeded some of them. For example, I didn't expect to reach 16,500 followers; I was aiming for 5,000.

On the other hand, where I failed was on the stack. I expected to reach at least 0.1 BTC. In the end, I barely managed to reach half that — until yesterday, I was still at 0.04 BTC.

But there is also something that was not planned for, and which far exceeds all the numerical targets mentioned above: your trust.

My greatest achievement is having managed to earn it. Honestly, it was not something I had included in my forecasts. Trust cannot be planned or forced—it is built, day after day, note after note.

Beyond the numbers, that's what really matters. Everything can be measured except trust. And yet, today on Nostr, that's my most valuable asset.

Not to mention the wonderful people I have met here. For fear of forgetting anyone, I won't mention any names, but know this: I know your usernames, your photos, your writing style, your way of zapping. I have observed everything, taken everything into consideration, with the utmost respect. Thank you all, you have been the fuel for Flash, because without you I would have stopped a long time ago.

Before I leave you, I would sincerely like your feedback:

➥ What did you think of Flash’s work throughout 2025?

➥ What do you expect from me for the coming year?

As they say, it’s at the end of the dance that the musicians get paid. Here are the two ways to support my work ⤵︎

I think it’s tardus magnus🤔

….notice the sophisticated simplicity allowing for survival instincts comparable to rats and cockroaches

…also the welcome appearance of its velvet like meat hooks…allowing for a permanent grip on ur btc …. which has long since been passed on in the chain of evolution of the modern banker, btc ETFs and with a relatively high probability DATs

GM nostr frenz and occasional tardz

….not sure anybody else noticed, but what a shocker, we had another hard drop in BTC price shortly after the opening of American exchanges this morning…it just all seems so random 😳🤔🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂⭕️

….no Jamie u can’t have my self custodied btc 🖕🏽🤨 ….and f*k u too Larry and Jane Street ….just for good measure

I’ve said it b4 and I’ll say it again

….it’s like my sweet ole granny use to say

“A good tard is hard to find

And a hard tard is good to find”🤔😳😂

Full disclosure: she never said that or anything remotely like it ….but as the council and most govts around the world like to say “never let the truth stand in the way o a good narrative”

Tru this….I’ve an idea that post apocalyptic, sweaty, grimy women (and likely women in prison🤔😳) are gonna find us very desirable 😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

🤔…thangz are gonna get a lil crazy😳🤯

…let me be clear….@yodlme.com may or may not be the Berkshire Hathaway of the future🫡🌅
