I live my life in accordance with the 4 Agreements: - be impeccable with your word - make no assumptions - take nothing personally - always do your best I'm a sovereign soul choosing unconditional love over fear. 💚

I agree with everything you said on MSTR & I really liked the way you said it.

I'm close to taking a relatively small bet on MSTR continuing to outperform Bitcoin in fiat terms. I appreciate hearing you step through your concerns & risks.

BTW - your zaps don't seem to be working right now.

It's the sort of thing most people don't know they need, until they need it.

That's kinda why I like Nostr niche

If you haven't used a browser client before, Flappy Nostrich is probably not going be worth the hassle.

It's not that hard either. I use nos2x on Firefox but I think getalby also has one.

If you access the URL on a browser with a Nostr signer installed you should see a login button.

The Gold Star in the bottom right shows the leaderboard.

Enjoyed the new tunes too!

You've done well dude!

Imagine being able to set a bounty.

Eg: set bounty > score 420 > pay 1000sats > generate lightning invoice

If a player hits 420 they get the 1K sat bounty.

Does this leaderboard reset every night or did you all just not sign in?

It's client specific but generally you do it from the profile that you want to mute. It could appear as "block" or "mute" but it's the same thing.

You can't stop someone from fetching your notes but you can hide their snarky replies.

You wouldn't be worshipping Ra would you?

Pretty flowers for such a shit plant.

When I see them I pull them down to prevent more seeds dispersing.

Anger can be transmuted into purposeful action.

I'm not sure that fear can.

Fear is an irrational response to finding yourself in physical reality & feeling seperated from your higher self.

Acknowledge & observe the fear. Have compassion for those parts of you that feels scared & threatened. Then let the fear go.

💚

I like that you focused on acknowledging & comforting 'little Rob'.

It aligns with my thinking & beliefs around healing through integration.

Praxeology only exists in the physical with words.

You act because you believe that action is in your best interest.

No exceptions.

All human action has value & purpose.

Words are a severely limited form of expression.

Bitcoin is a filter.

The people who see Bitcoin as scam or a greater fool scheme are projecting their beliefs onto it. They either don't buy it or they sell "the top".

Bitcoin & Bitcoiners move on without them.

For the first year I thought Bitcoin was a scam. I found it hard to trust that other the Bitcoiners wouldn't sell.

After a year of trying to find where the scam was & gaming out various scenarios, I couldn't find one. The only logical play was to acquire as many bitcoin as possible & to hold them as long as possible. The only thing I had to trust was the ability of other humans to come to the same logical conclusion. Did it have to be all humans? No, it only had to be the 20% who were awake & actively choosing. That's about the point when I went all in.

We each have a responsibilty to hold our bitcoin securely. To avoid a situation where your bitcoin stolen or you're forced to sell it. This is personal responsibility though & not some altruistic bullshit. I don't have to trust that people will act in my best interest, just that they'll act in their own best interest.

It's a bet that humans are sovereign souls & are consciously choosing what they believe & prefer.

I make my bet knowing that if it is wrong, then we as a species are not fit to rule ourselves.

So simply moving Bitcoin onto an exchange & then later removing it might constitute a CGT event?

⚡️💬 NEW - Just watched nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpds8jmryv's talk from Bitcoin 2025. It offers an interesting perspective.

He addresses the view that Tether could be seen as supportive of the US dollar—then presents arguments against it. Even in a scenario where Tether expands significantly and purchases large amounts of US Treasuries, the effect on US debt would still be minimal.

He also explores another idea:

Tether is accumulating Bitcoin gradually. Over time, its Bitcoin reserves could surpass its dollar holdings. If that were to happen, Tether might maintain its peg—or even exceed it. A stablecoin backed primarily by Bitcoin instead of Treasuries could potentially have a different valuation dynamic.

His conclusion:

“Tether isn’t rescuing the dollar. It might actually be helping the world move away from it.”

And this:

“The real risk to Tether isn’t volatility. It’s US default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.”

For those interested in the evolving relationship between stablecoins, fiat debt, and Bitcoin, the talk presents the concepts clearly.

Did you edit this?

Saif sounded more robotic than usual.

Happens every year.

Wait until the thing starts & they're all shocked by the shitcoining & fiat behaviour, like they couldn't predict it.

I have zero FOMO on Vegas but I'm already regretting not being able to get to Riga this year.

It's rooted in millions of small implicit agreements made by the bulk of the population every day.

It falls apart when people start saying no.

This mushroom was growing in the wood chips under a citrus tree.

No idea what it is called
