Thankful that even on the hard days, I have a party in my pocket. Nostr has been the best distraction and support. 💜

Alright, after watching 5+ hours of Dune part one and two, I’m going to need someone to explain to me why this is a good movie.

Whatever other people are seeing, I am not seeing it.

wat is halving, wrong answers only

I worked for the state once. I was in the Air Force.

In 2012, They took my appendix when they didn't need to.

In 2016, they vaccine injured me with a round of shots my doc recommended. I got a letter in the mail saying it was a bad batch, but it was completely safe and I should come get another round. Nah, doc.

I got automimmune issues from that, and they worsened from the poisoned food. I left the military in 2017. The VA ignored me repeatedly because they don't believe in vaccine injuries.

I can't eat gluten, dairy, rice, or seed oils without heart palpitations and reactions that feel like im dying these days

Anyways, I began contracting for that same Air Force again in 2018. They tried to poke everyone again in 2020. I said no and I lost my job from saying no in December 2021. I haven't worked in 2.5 years.

This whole time I've been spending $900-1200 cuckbucks a month on meat and fruit alone to avoid inflammation and heal my body. All from my savings. I sold my house in late 2022 and my stack is down immensely in the last two years.

They poisoned me... They poisoned 19 out of 20 aisles of the grocery store for an autoimmune person like me. They poisoned my health. They've drained my wealth. They've taken my livelihood and my normalcy.

When I view the big picture, it all seems so deeply personal. They wanna ban and control meat consumption when it is my only food... They want to stop us from saving in Bitcoin when it has been my literal saving grace... They say they want to close the "escape hatches".

When I tell you that this is the hill I will die on, I fucking mean it. There is no choice for me anymore. I've crossed the Rubicon. I will live free or die.

What is your go to tactic when you can’t go to sleep? Count to 10,000?

After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.

Reply if you can see this?

Price of stuff doesn't go up. Value of money goes down. Few understand this.

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. “It’s always a good time”. 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. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

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. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. 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 “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. 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.

I’m an incredibly generous zapper. Some are saying the most generous.

Until you get evicted for some dumb reason and can't build a real home for you and yours.

Sure, renting can have some advantages, but often renting in many areas is more expensive than paying a mortgage.

First post in the fediverse! 👋

"I've been in Bitcoin since 2013"

"Oh so you must have a lot of coins then!"
