Liber-servative? Repubarchist? I have thoughts on most things.

Of course the Detroit Lions lose on another controversial call

If you wonder how many foreigners are in your calm Midwestern city, post an old DeWalt tool or materials for sale on Facebook marketplace.

It's hard to unsee

I do interior remodeling... Mostly bathtlrooms and kitchens and flooring.

Perfect reviews.

I don't have jobs lined up right now.

I may be an anomaly.

I don't know.

I'm two weeks I might have 3 jobs lined up.

But IDK if I'm a canary.

Thoughts?

I'm in Michigan btw

Bitcoin taught me the world runs on energy

Whether is fire. Or food. Or homes. Or water. Or a city.

It all runs off energy and channeling it and using it.

In regards to setting up a fedi...

Everyone knows me as the Bitcoin guy.

I don't know anyone who is a fraction of a percentage down the road of possibly even owning Bitcoin.

Mich less using it as freedom money and not simply NGU.

The idea of getting ppl I know on a fedi is preposterous.

Not hating the idea or proposal, it's just not realistic for me.

Maybe I'm spoiled with spoiled friends with financial priveledge

I don't know why you'd use anything other than a seedsigner

One lil device. Can make at home or buy one. Open source.

Device doesn't hold your key, just homemade qr code cards for signing transactions.

Wish I'd have found this years ago

Somebody paid for a commercial in Monday night football calling for the Epstein files to be released

https://www.worldwithoutexploitation.org/

Rob Hamilton has single handedly made me not use anchor watch.

For now.

I really wanna use them.

But he seems kinda douchy and too institutionalized

I would love to set and forget. I did that with single sig for like 5 years w ledger.

Then I read a book and deep dived.

Then I went all in.

Then I went cold card single for like a year. Always made me nervous having single.

6 mos or so ago I did the multi.

IDK I might just leave my multi setup for now for a while...3 diff device manufacturers....just the ledger doesn't work. But ya I still have the seed

No...I have one of them stamped ( from when I used as single sig)

Again, I might just switch to seedsigner for long term storage...then just backup the seeds in 3 diff geo locations

After listening to what bitcoin did podcast with seedsigner, I'm gonna get one and use that for my cold storage I think.

I just can't come up with a reason to store multi sig 3 diff devices when I could just store the seed w corresponding qr codes.

Yeah idk it worked when I first used it set it up and put my btc on it.

IDK why.

Qr code worked tho. Had to take a pic of qr code with my phone camera tho to get my computer (both of them) to read it

I think about this graph a lot. When I hear my gen and x bitching about boomers, part of me thinks quit bitching.

But part of me always thinks about this chart

Tested my multi sig this evening.

I use sparrow, with three diff devices.

Trezor worked fine.

Ledger would not sign with sparrow, kept getting error.

ColdcardQ wouldn't recognize the psbt file on sd card. (Tried two diff cards)

ColdcardQ qr code could not be read by computer camera.

Ended up taking video with my phone or coldcard qr code, then scanning it

Worked, but I'm considering doing unchained or anchorwatch because of these concerns.

Sometimes I wonder if id be better just single sig on coldcard q w passphrase

Had a good year.

Stacked plenty of BTC.

Tryna decide how much I wanna fund my btc IRA or etf IRA, vs just paying the taxes and continuing to fund my self custody.

Real decisions

I see these snap benefits gatherings in my city, and I think...

I just spent the day demolishing a bathroom, pretty nasty dirty work, to rebuild it this week with a new tub shower tile surround.

Wish I had time to go down there and stand around

Something with my old galaxy s20 messed up with the camera...

So I just bought a "new" used one on eBay.

And people say phones are so expensive now.... I only paid like $170.

Definitely something I would have spent more on and upgraded without Bitcoin

A slightly breakthrough moment with the wife. She's not against it, she just trusts me on finances and big picture stuff...and given my obsession, she has no pallet for the topic.

I explained to her how two years ago, a very short time ago, we could have bought my house for 8 or 9 Bitcoin. Today we could buy my house for ~2.5 Bitcoin.

Her: "wow that is crazy"

Me: now you know why I don't wanna buy a new house anytime soon. The prices keep dropping.

Eofer planted tulip bulbs around our two front yard trees last fall.

Deer polished em all off the last to nights.

I told her we can cut a bunch of fur hair from the dog and sprinkle it. Didn't do it on time tho 😔

Don't ever get lasik.

I know a guy, 40ish, got it done. He says he can see fine, but it's different. He gets headaches sometimes, and he suspects it's from the LASIK. He says it's hard to describe, but he sees differently than before. Mind you, his surgery was successful. But he told me he wouldn't do it again. As he said, takes 5 seconds every morning to put in contacts. Or just wear glasses.

He told me he's talked to quite a few ppl with similar issues.

Also my wife's ex bf got it and he's going was blind from it.

Don't get lasik.

99% of doctors are employees

77% employed by hospitals (my note, increasingly behemouth monopolies nationwide)

20% by employed by insurance companies or private equity firms

2% employes by government

That leaves 1% independent and "3rd party free" (not contracted w insurance co hospitals or government)

I know someone who works for Robin Hood.

When I mentioned there are companies that will help securely store your Bitcoin for an annual fee...

"Well that doesn't really make any sense, it doesn't cost anything to keep Bitcoin"

This is an employee who makes good money at Robinhood.

We're so early

I just turned mich v Maryland. It was 11 pt mich lead like 5 min ago. Now they're down

If you have weights at home, it only takes about 10 minutes to get a decent lift in. Do it every couple days, and you're in the top 1% of Americans.

I slowed down the video to 0.75x for this chart, and it blew me away.

For every 12.7% increase in days in the life of Bitcoin, the adoption doubles and the price doubles.

Zapping you both. Great podcast to really slow down, listen to, and watch
