Haha not sure about the massages & classical music but definitely lush pasture supporting all kinds of life.
Then eventually 1 bad day where they are respectfully dispatched & harvested for their life giving flesh & fat.
No trucks, cattle prods & sale yards. Meat so good, people drive out to the citadel to collect it.
💚🥩
So satisfying
They need your agreement.
I don't think they've ever been the same. Each epoch seems to have been unique in its own way. As soon as everyone thinks they know what Bitcoin's does, it does something else. There's always the random scams, hacks & frauds that have blow up to make the bears brutal.
SuPeRcyCle is the idea that you don't really have a bear, it just keeps going up/sideways. It seems to be playing out so far.
I think there's a growing number of people with a lot of wealth that are finding out they're severely underexposed to Bitcoin. I think many are currently patiently & quietly accumulating. I think MSTR is about to turn their infinite capital siphoning machine on again.
I didn't anticipate this much crab but this also fits with the SuPeRcyCle theory. I can't see us spending the next 12 months under or around $100k.
I wouldn't be surprised if next year's Uptober, we're consolidating at $150K after tapping $200K. I'd be disappointed but not surprised.
I'm bullishly biased man but looking back, that has worked out well for me when averaged out. The only regret I had was using leverage.
*Stellar is the book and it's completely unrelated to photography.
You develop them yourself don't you?
They're beautiful photos.
Have you ever read the book Stella?
I might be projecting, but I think there are a lot of Bitcoiners waiting for Bitcoin to do it's thing, so that they can become ranchers & butchers.
I want to offer what I can't get. But I need Bitcoin to do it's thing first.
They accept Bitcoin?
Nice!
Pretty pricey, but I'm sure it'll come down denominated in Sats.
I think on a long enough time frame you're better off being too bullish on bitcoin without being greedy.
If you're too bearish, you miss the up days and if you're too greedy, you get burnt on the down days.
Stay humble, stack sats.
But most importantly:
SuPeRcyCle!!!
Bitchat seems to be a bit of a hybrid.
It's P2P in Bluetooth only mode but each node seems to act like a relay of sorts.
It's pretty cool but I prefer Keychat for instant messaging. You've done well!
Australian beef is pretty different to US beef. Most of the stuff I buy is grass finished. The gain finished stuff tends to fetch a much price & is much better quality (more tender & more marbling although it can have a blend flavour). It's also all grown & finished here due to our crazy strict quarantine laws.
Within the grass finished category there is huge variation in the quality. The cheaper beef tends to be tough with lots of sinew & little marbling. These don't tend to end up in the chain supermarkets but end up in the discount butchers & small independent grocers.
Things that can affect the quality of the meat:
- age (older is generally tougher but also more flavourful)
- breed (heavily affects feed conversion, meat quality & marbling)
- pasture & pasture management (The varieties of grass & how the pasture is managed has a massive impact on feed quality. Better quality feed produces more & better quality beef)
- transport, slaughter & storage (Meat processing plays a big role. Stressed, scared cows don't make for great meat. I've heard that cooling the carcass too quickly can also degrade the meat. A carcass should generally also be hung for 2 weeks before being processed.)
Personally I don't really care if the animal isn't fully finished on grass.
What concerns me more is the taste & whether it was raised & killed respectfully/humanely. The only way I can achieve both is to get closer to the farmer. I will only be fully happy if I know the farmer well or I am the farmer.
Bitcoiner dreams for the future...
Lol that was supposed to be purple fingers 🤣
The seed metaphor just keeps on yielding.
It translates to do many aspects of life!
Orange piling is all about planting seeds. 🧡
Is it really spring of you don't have people fingers?
I regret not taking some Mulberry cuttings to Roger's farm!
There's really only 1 war being fought, the war between light & darkness. This war has been fought for 200 thousand years.
It's repeated throughout our history.
Battles are won by both but the war is within each man & only ever ends when we realise that it's the darkness that makes the light so bright. Destroying darkness would destroy the light & so we must accept them both even though we have our preference.
It doesn't mean that we should stop acting towards what we prefer, it just means we can let go the fight. Darkness never wins, but it gets the upper hand when we play its games.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is plant seeds & watch them grow.
Keep the weeds back & the soil moist.
I just planted some seeds after marveling at the plants I planted months & years ago. Don't dwell on the seeds that don't sprout or take off.
Yes it's a metaphor, stacking Sats is planting seeds.

These people are just caught in their own illusion, they're not evil or even doing evil. They're just limited & fearful.
Evil is encouraging you to play the role of victim or judge knowing that it degrades your personal power.
Always seek to empower people & encourage them to take responsibility. Be the shining example that guides them towards the light.

I don't think so man.
It just doesn't make economical sense.
Cow-Calf operations are mainly grass fed. Then they get sold & sent to a CAFO for finishing (fattening).
Yeah - I've spent a long time rooted in the physical. That first conscious connection to our mother was something else. 💚
I'm aware that you can connect to someone on a soul level but it's not something I've deeply experienced yet.
How exciting for you 🫂
The strong hands who've been holding for a long time dump into market strength. They sold some of their stack as we made me ATHs.
If you did the opposite, got emotional & YOLOd in to the top then you're currently hurting a bit. We've all been there & felt that.
In terms of dips, this isn't that bad. I've held through much worse.
Now is the time you should be doubling down. When your gut is churning & everything looks like it's dying to you, that's when you buy.
The market will consolidate & them start grinding up. New ATH coming, likely before 2026 - front run it so that you don't buy the top again.
Leverage kills.
I've known for some time that the work I was doing largely lacked purpose. I was just a cog in a big meat grinder that seemed to produce no sausages.
It paid the mortgage, bought shiny objects & allowed me to stack enough bitcoin that I could eventually let it go.
When I stopped being a cog I realised that I lacked not only the income now but the sense of purpose. The sense of purpose was just an illusion but without that illusion I felt my sense of worth diminish.
I spent a long while moping around with these feelings. It was great that I had my time back but what was I to do? I resisted the urge to become someone else's cog & just started working on stuff to make my family's and my experience better.
What I discovered is that there's value in the doing. Men in particular find a great peace in the doing, particularly when it's to achieve a shared goal or objective. I find there's also a tremendous return in delivering even a small amount of value to others.
The secret I've found is to get excited about the work & to be in the moment while you do it. Whether others notice your work straight away is not important. The fruits of your labour generally take time to materialise but the value to you is in the actual doing. This is what they took from us when they tricked us into thinking consumption was the objective. Working through pain & discomfort also makes us physically & mentally stronger. Our skills develop & we become less reliant on those who want to be our master.

The good ideas don't decay & disappear.
They bounce around inside you, taunting you & your inaction.
You gotta find your tribe.
We're all stronger when we form connections as sovereign but aligned nodes.
Nothing beats meatspace connections.
Nah
Beliefs that reflect the true nature of reality win everytime.
When your beliefs are aligned, you don't need discipline. Your thoughts, emotions & actions all work in harmony with each other. The discipline isn't required to overcome any internal resistance because there isn't any.
I feel grateful to have had my midlife crisis at 28 but I'll feel much better when I reach 57. 😂
I'd achieved 90% of what I thought was important to me & I felt more sad, alone, confused & insignificant than I ever had.
I figure I've got another decade to find the true meaning to my existence & then I can relax.
All I know is that it's that it's not found in the material, in money, women & fancy cars. It's found in connection, in purposeful action & appreciation of the beauty of what we already have.

Are you quite remote?
Everything changes when you get out of the cities.
They're only good for hashing.
The judgement, the story we tell ourselves after we make an observation is what causes us so much suffering.
Once you observe this storytelling in yourself, you see it everywhere.
Let it go. Deny no thing. Then act towards what it is that you prefer.

The Blackrocks are accumulating.
The tourists think it's all over.
They'll all call you lucky in 12 months.
Individual sovereignty is something to be promoted & respected.
The anarchy that inevitably follows is a beautiful dance we should learn to embrace.
The future will be decentralised.

Fasting triggers your body to do all sorts of shit. I'm open to experiencing it.
I think there's a lot of truth to what doesn't kill you makes you stronger in relation to acute stresses.
A 7 day water fast is hard. A 7 day dry fast sounds like torture.
Same with your actions.
We're on auto pilot so very often.
Never done it but when I'm sick, I naturally lose my appetite.
I usually eat within a 6-8 hr window, so it's usually easy to just extend it however long it takes to overcome.
I'd imagine this would be quite a stress (not necessarily negatively) to your body. I'll give it a watch 👍🙏
Don't lose faith that this is all unfolding as it needs to.
Just keep moving towards truth, light & love man.

Not just what you eat, what you drink, breath & absorb through your skin.
Your body constantly eliminates waste & toxins that it absorbs. It can only process so much as organs typically perform multiple functions. Toxins that it can't process & excrete are largely stored in fat cells until you have the capacity to eliminate them.
I believe that often when we get 'sick' our bodies are simply overloaded with toxins. That is when we should be fasting & providing ways to help detox ourselves (eg activated carbon, bentonite clay, CDS).
We should avoid adding to our toxic load during such times (most pharmaceuticals are toxic).
It's less glamorous to just quietly do stuff that leads to unknown outcomes.
The greatest value for yourself & others is found by venturing in the unknown. To do things where the outcome is not pre determined. To take calculated risks because something in you tells you it might pay off.
You can't go into the unknown without learning & growing. This small act of courage can inspire others to take similar chances & risks.

There comes a point where you stop trying to wake everyone up.
You acknowledge that people will believe what they do until they can't anymore.
At some point everyone will hit a critical amount cognitive dissonance in their beliefs & definitions.
At that point they either let go their misaligned beliefs or they double down on them & lose their shit.
There are layers to waking up. Have strong opinions but hold them loosely. None of this is real. Focus on your own beliefs & definitions while trying to align them to truth.
I'm glad Charlie is alive but I'm deeply suspicious of the deception be is complicit in.

Wow it's funny how simple, valuable, but also difficult that feels.
To do something decisive & conscious first thing rather than something unconscious.
To delay distraction for just a moment.
Love it. 🫂💚
