LFG Christmas spirit

Lots of modern strains have thrown the cannabinoid ratios way out of whack. So much of the supply available now in Canada is 25-35% THC with little to no CBD, CBN, etc. It really changes the effect. I mostly quit earlier this year, going from a daily smoker to a few puffs every couple months.

It's fabulous, but as expensive as Europe & US, and a lot of third-worldy things, like rusty corrugated sheet metal roofs, unpaved roads, and lots of people with extremely high time preference. But nature is incredible, climate is super pleasant in the highlands, and enormously fertile.

I wish I could get high like I used to. The paranoia is too intense now and if I have saliva it blows out my cerebellum and I get intense paranoia and sometimes feel like I might have a heart attack or some shit. Just isn’t fun anymore. I miss being chilled to the max and the munchies 😔

Yes I agree it is very well articulated and yes most of us have used and been misusing and misunderstood cannabis.

I agree a lot with when they said it is a gate keeper for your inner self, always saw it that way and experienced first hand since I was young how potent it could be to help introspection.. of course like every tool, can be dangerous.

I am grateful I have discovered it, but at same time I recognise how I did misuse myself often, and do still.. double edge sword

Very close.

Next stage is collapse & starvation.

The Bitcoin Bush Bash is definitely on my list! I’m keen to meet Bitcoiners in person.

How close to the communist Manifesto by Marx have our societies been engineered?! 😩🙄

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

Where are you located ? seems like most are from NSW

South Australia brother! All hiding hey! Haha

I caved to the pressure. Too many people hassling me about it

It’s very rare and hard to get them all in one shot being still…. It’s much easier to catch the second shot here

For the most juicy results

The system doesn’t collapse because we ignore it. It collapses when enough people refuse to accept the lies, speak the truth loudly, and coordinate outside the mechanisms of control. We don’t need everyone. We need enough people who understand what’s at stake and are willing to stand together.

We possess tools that cannot be shut down when we speak inconvenient truths. These aren’t luxuries or investments. They’re the infrastructure of free speech and free association that makes sustained truth telling possible without institutional permission. We’re overlooking the power we hold in our hands. We ought to be more serious.

I’m tired of it and I’m here to be a relentless voice that exposes these institutions and continues to bring people back together. Not as left or right political advocates, but as humans who have the freedom to unite and flourish freely.

You can’t convince your friend to try that amazing restaurant until they’re actually hungry. You could describe the food all day, but until their stomach growls, they’re not interested. That’s orange pilling in a nutshell.

Readiness isn’t about intelligence. It’s about necessity meeting curiosity.

A freer society starts when we stop treating government as the solution to every problem and start rebuilding trust, community, and responsibility at the individual level.

I’ve learned four kinds of battles exist: those fought with fists, those fought with ideas, those fought with words chosen like weapons, and those fought with sound money against counterfeits.

The weight room taught me discipline. The battlefield taught me consequences. But dead men’s books taught me precision. And Bitcoin taught me that the longest war is economic.

I wasn’t raised to think deeply. I was raised to win physically. Philosophy came later, earned through hard conversations and harder lessons. Now I stack sats, run a node, and choose words the way I once chose which fights to take.

Every block mined is a vote against fiat. Every sat stacked is territory reclaimed. This isn’t a fight with guns. It’s a fight with truth against debasement, proof of work against proof of corruption.

The philosophers in my library never met me, but they shaped me more than most living men ever will. They’re gone, but their signal remains pure. No noise, no grift, just truth waiting on dusty pages.

Being a bitcoiner means understanding preparation isn’t paranoia. It’s wisdom. Being on Nostr means knowing that proof of work applies to thoughts as much as blocks. Both are battles fought in the open, with no place to hide bad ideas or debased currency.

Every war isn’t worth fighting. But the war for sound money? That one’s worth everything.

The jock I was would have swung first. The man I’m becoming knows which wars matter most.

Every cycle, without fail, weak hands transfer their future wealth to patient hands.

This isn’t a crash. This is a wealth transfer event.

*Not financial advice. Just a reminder that conviction is forged in red candles, not green ones.

Imagine if we started seeing purpose as the core driver of our work rather than just the paycheck. What if the real value of what we do each day could shape not just our lives but how we address the inequalities built into our professional world?

Purpose driven work can bridge the gap far more effectively than state run economic policies. It shifts our focus from what we get to what we give. By creating jobs with meaning, we make everyone’s role more equitable, no matter the paycheck.

Let's prioritize impact over income and watch how the real changes ripple out.

Note: Money sustains the worker, purpose sustains the work.

Your ideas don’t have an expiration date. That project you shelved two years ago? Still good. That wild thought you had at 3am? Still viable. Time doesn’t rot the things that matter, only our courage to revisit them does. So crack open that old notion, taste it again, then build something that outlasts the noise.

Sudden wealth triggers identity disruption. Every interaction becomes weighted with suspicion and obligation. Going dark isn’t cowardice, it’s often psychological survival.

But the wealthy who stay engaged and help humanity flourish without selling out have something in common: they decided what kind of person they’d be before the wealth arrived.

This is critical. We need to make these decisions now, before our Bitcoin success story unfolds. What will you stand for when you no longer need anyone? How will you deploy resources to genuinely help others flourish?

The temptation to disappear or sell out will be immense. Every wealthy person faces pressure to optimize purely for self interest, to monetize influence, to gate keep knowledge. Resisting that requires pre commitment.

Bitcoin selects for low time preference in wealth building. We need the same discipline for character building. The people who matter most will be those who chose their values before the test arrived, who decided wealth would be a tool for flourishing, not an escape from community.

We know where this is going. Prepare the person you’ll become accordingly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Discipline defeats emotion. Every single time.

The midlife crisis, what I’ll call, “success panic” isn’t about aging. It’s about waking up and realizing you’ve been playing a character in someone else’s story.

An entire generation is discovering they spent decades chasing goals that were handed to them. The right title. The impressive salary. The house that signals you made it. All optimized for a scorecard they never agreed to keep.

The panic isn’t “what’s next?” It’s “did I ever choose this?”

If people understood their work has intrinsic worth, not because it buys things or impresses others, but because it contributes something real, would the collapse happen at all?

We’ve constructed a value system where effort only matters if it leads somewhere else. Your time for their money. Your energy for their approval. When you finally get what you were promised and it turns out to be weightless, everything gives way.

The midlife reckoning is the cost of spending your youth accumulating things you were conditioned to want rather than building something you actually believe in.

The answer isn’t better planning for the second half. It’s asking better questions in the first: Who decided what success looks like? Why am I letting them keep score? And what would I build if I stopped playing their game entirely?

When people ask why I stay in Canada, this is a big reason why + community

Yeah but selling rigs means losing whatever the msrkey figures is amortized, and the transportation and taxes. It would be so much better if rigs could sit there and do other tasks
