Masculinity is under attack lately. But I like masculinity actually.

I know, shocker.

The fact that so few U.S. presidential or vice presidential candidates have had beards in modern history is funny to me. I think men usually look better with facial hair, and the older they get the more likely that is. 20-somthing or 30-something strong jaw dudes often look great without facial hair. But when men are 50 or 60 or whatever, that salt-and-pepper beard is so rad and almost always beats the no-beard weak-chin look. I actually think it's weird that neither Biden nor Trump have a beard. JD Vance looks like shit without a beard. Growing a beard is the best move he ever made, imo. And yet the media is like, "A vice president candidate with a beard?"

Masculinity can be rough around the edges, but that's what we need sometimes. It's usually balanced by other societal aspects. In some societies it gets extreme and needs to be pushed back on. My husband has a temper, but his temper is part of his power and why he impacts the world to the extent that he does. So when I interact with his temper, it's not about eliminating it, but rather it's about appreciating it but making sure it's directed in the right direction.

Masculinity and femininity are good. They don't need to be forced. Nature is diverse but society tries to categorize nature into narrower categories. Feminine men and masculine women are cool too. But that doesn't change the fact that masculine men and feminine women are also cool.

I grew up kickboxing and submission grappling. I'm a tomboy. I'm a feminist in terms of promoting equal gender rights. But at the end of the day, I appreciate masculine men. I was never attracted to men who were weaker than me in any capacity, but rather was always attracted to men with gravitas.

The easiest approach to life is to 1) respect biology as it is but then 2) also appreciate the divergences that inherently exist within it.

Trying to equalize nature is to fight against it. And yet trying to eliminate the diversify of nature is also to fight against it.

Nature is fascinating, and I do my best to appreciate it.

In your opinion, should recreational marijuana be legal everywhere?

What’s the best life advice you got or can give? Let’s compile a list:

#asknostr

Remember that MSTR is just a levered play and sure I guess put it in your 401k if you have one but know that 99% of MSTR value is simply in how much bitcoin they plan to acquire now and into the future.

So moral of the story is just keep acquiring the underlying asset (bitcoin) yourself instead of buying MSTR.

Planning on selling a bit at the tops and buying even more when it dips back to support 🤘🏼

The fact that more public companies haven’t run the MicroStrategy playbook yet is kind of wild actually.

200 to 1000

I know that I’m not supposed to care, but I pity the fool who is selling his #bitcoin today based on short term FUD.

lol... my CPI guess was... wrong!

Core Inflation Rate MoM: 0.3% vs 0.2% (forecast) and 0.3% (prior)

Core Inflation Rate YoY: 3.3% vs 3.2% (forecast) and 3.3% (prior)

Inflation Rate MoM: 0.2% vs 0.1% (forecast) and 0.2% (prior)

Inflation Rate YoY: 2.4% vs 2.3% (forecast) and 2.5% (prior)

#macro

That's what I get for making (another) public prediction. 😂

Ironically, my expectations for the USD, interest rates, risk assets, and #bitcoin may actually work out over the coming days/weeks because of another important data point...

Initial Jobless Claims: 258k vs 230k (forecast) and 225k (prior)

This gives the Fed the ongoing excuse to lower the Fed Funds rate as they turn their attention from inflation to employment.

Regardless, that was fun.

Onwards. ⚡

However long it takes. We are winning.

I used multiple models, TA, and liquidity metrics to come up with it.

It’s still no more than a guess. I know it will be wrong. I just hope to be generally correct in vector terms.
