Beef & Bitcoin

A LOT OF SO CALLED OGS ARE VERY QUIET.

YOUR FREEDOM LOVING BROTHERS & SISTERS MADE THE EFFORT TO COME HERE.

YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VALUABLE TO THEM, MORE SO THAN SHITCOINERS TWITTER.

Once I heard Trace speak I was all in

YES. And all that learning for what, just to be a good statist. Flush it with the rest of the system.

My niece is spending her sunday stressing about doing fiat homework for her fiat school. She's just a child. I hate everything about state education. Much of my stacking energy is to spare them this fiat bs in the future.

I think twelve words in your head will be illegal, unenforceable but still illegal. Self custody is the attack angle and people will need a strong mindset to continue to do it. I have given up on normies until I see more evidence from them.

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. ā€œIt’s always a good timeā€. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. ā€œEvery time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.ā€

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. ā€œI can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like youā€. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like ā€œsorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean itā€. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

You buy and wait. To this day I struggle to understand how so few people can actually do this and fewer still even attempt it at all. Bitcoiners are made different, it is undeniable.

Three conversations with three normie blokes. Subjects totaled alcohol, football and cars.

I just can't.
