Back from Nashville, and after a little reflection, I need to reiterate a message I frequently put out there: kill your heroes.

Most of the people talking about the moon, laser eyes, power law, get on zero, digital energy, strategic national reserve, etc. etc., or who are telling you to buy this device or use that service are **buying and selling your attention to make themselves richer** -- they generally do not have your best interests at heart.

Think for yourself and don't fall for marketing. Educate yourself about bitcoin, discuss it with people you respect, think critically about the risks, and then, if it makes sense to you, make a sensible investment in it with reasonable expectations, while keeping your larger financial situation and your personal priorities in perspective.

I am a believer in bitcoin in spite of, not because of, all of the wild assertions, influencers and aggressive social marketing out there, and it has taken me 11 years to get to where I am.

Be careful our there anon, don't buy the hype.

The US. Government just moved $2B of #Bitcoin to a new address and it cost them 66 cents.

1% better everyday.

That’s the mantra.

Chip away at the really big shit until you accomplish it.

Just keep showing up everyday and doing a little more.

Eventually you will break through.

Consistency is deadly.

I’m not sure anything in this world can stop a consistent person from accomplishing their goal.

It’s the ultimate superpower.

Just got engaged in Yellowstone, needless to say it’s been an eventful weekend🤣

While on vacation with my family on a trip out to the Black Hills I was able to take a night off and head over to the Badlands National Park. I was very impressed with how dark the skies were there. The park has a lot of different overlooks which provide different views of the area at each one. Here's one shot I got at the Burns Basin Overlook with my 50mm lens.

We’re going to win.

if this pic doesn't move you, you have no soul

Done.

For those deleting their xitter accounts for #onlynostr or #nostrOnly...maybe just stop posting over there and make your xitter microblog re-branded with move to nostr stuff (wallpaper and avatar) and slam a "follow me on nostr" link. Idk. Just a thought.

Saw this a lot with alternatives to YouTube as creators moved to lbry, odysee, bitchute etc.

Save the work on badges and stuff and just do a soft transition for your followers, I feel like you'll on board more people to nostr with a "we've moved" than "We're closed".

THERE IS ALREADY MORE REAL ENGAGEMENT ON NOSTR THAN BITCOIN TWITTER.

THE RIDE OR DIES ARE HERE.

ALL THAT IS LEFT ON X ARE BLUE CHECKS CLINGING TO FOLLOWER COUNTS AND PERCEIVED IMPORTANCE.

MOST BITCOIN TWITTER POSTS ONLY HAVE SCAM BOTS REPLYING TO THEM. QUITE SAD TBH.

Joe Biden will “gracefully bow out” of the election for “family reasons.”

He will “step aside to give another candidate the best chance at defeating Trump and preserving Democracy.”

Kamala will “step aside with Joe in solidarity.”

Michelle Obama will become the Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate and Gavin Newsom will be her VP.

The Obama-Newsom ticket will be hailed by the corporate media as “historic” and “our best chance at preserving Democracy.”
