I hope Saylor’s financial engineering strategy works out for everyone.

But if it blows up, the dip will be GODLY and the chaos will be beautiful.

The most glorious stacks are when the entire world thinks you’re retarded. This one would be epic.

Big fan of Do Not Disturb. gave me like 75% of my day back

Great thread.

Let’s just pray, whatever the outcome, that lives of Syrian civilians improves. Any increase in standard of living and liberty would be a win.

Decades under the regime and a decade of civil war has put these people through unimaginable horror.

The one thing I question in this 🧵 is “but it is striking just how little a role outsiders played in the regime’s collapse”

This could be true because there was 10x involvement previously, and it was materially less now.

But looking at the SNA and allied groups during the offensive, it is hard to ignore their Turkish equipment and training.

Many soldiers had Turkish standard issue uniforms and gear. Turkish night vision and thermal scopes, and used professional military combined arms assaults. They also used the most modern combined FPV drone and surveillance UAV tactics.

Obviously large states will try to take advantage of the power vacuum. Downplaying their involvement does not do any favours for the Syrian people.

Let’s hope the general syrian society can really take control of their future, and remove extremist and foreign powers influence.

I was in a solid fraternity with intense rituals that were based in Christian teachings.

Rituals and deep study of Christian parables (my favorite is the parable of the sower) can be powerful tools for passing the knowledge without the struggle.

I’ve been working on writing some rituals for my kids that blend early Christian mysticism with bitcoin core values.

The only way to break the cycle of the 4th turning is to pass down knowledge and build deep connection between generations.

I’m hoping this experiment can pass on enlightenment. Imagine what a family can achieve if it doesn’t have to reset throughout the generations.

Now I’m just realizing how this sounds for those who haven’t gone down this rabbit hole lol

When I was 18, I was severely depressed. With good reason. I’d fucked up high school. Drugs and drinking had a hold on me. My grades were shit. My friends were addicts. My mother, a schizophrenic, was having a serious year-long episode. She was institutionalized. Wrapped her car around a telephone pole. Almost died. The cops were at our house a lot. My father was dead inside. Burnt out, and numb. Numb. There was severe emotional neglect and chaos throughout my childhood. I had no hope for the future. Completely lost, purposeless, and drifting. Purposeless. Drifting. I wasn’t fully suicidal. Like there weren’t any plans in place, but I thought about it a lot. A voice in the back of my mind told me there had to be a way out. I know now that it was god speaking to me.

I listened to that voice. I stopped doing drugs. I drank less. I began to hike every day in the mountains by myself. The sun, the air, the solitude. I loaded up an old iPod. I listened to the Beatles, a lot of classical music, and audiobooks. I didn’t hang out with my friends anymore. I just hiked every day by myself. I got a shitty fast-food job. I used to stay late to clean and just think about my life. I enjoyed the structure. Soon, they made me the assistant manager. I was the only one who was dependable, I guess. I went to community college. I actually applied myself for the first time ever. I got straight A’s. I hooked up with a lot of girls, that was helpful for my mood and self-esteem. I used my grades to get into a good college. I wanted to get across the country. To get away from it all. I went to Chicago.

College was fun. There were lots of girls, lots of parties. I was in film school and actually interested in what I was learning. Everything was amazing. My family is from rural Illinois. I used to visit my grandfather on the weekends sometimes. He was one of my favorite people. In the winter, he got sick. We found out he had leukemia. I got depressed again. I stopped going to college. I spent a lot of time out in the country. It felt more important to be with him as he died. I was there when he passed.

I came home for the summer. The great financial crisis was going on. My friend got one of those Obama new home buyer loans, so we spent the summer having parties and playing beer pong in his garage. One night, the girl I was going to marry walked in. I knew it right away. I didn’t feel like going back to Chicago. So I stayed and went to state school. I started dating the girl that would one day become my wife. I still was partying too much. Binge drinking. I couldn’t escape the feeling I was wasting my potential. Fucked around and did DMT one day. Blast off. Full-on cosmic panic attack. The overarching message: “Your time here on Earth is temporary. So get to work.”

Fuck, okay. So I got serious about my life… again, and I changed everything… again. I had been lazy and unmotivated. I began to focus intently on my craft. I attended every lecture. I made connections. I worked on everyone’s sets. I won the school film festival. I started a production company with a friend while still in school. It took off. We were making good money. We dropped out and did the business full time. I asked the girl to marry me. She said yes.

I found Bitcoin. I took all the profits from the business and put it into Bitcoin. I convinced my fiancé to put her salary into Bitcoin too. We were frugal to the point of being weirdos. We bought a little condo, and we got married. Bitcoin went up like crazy. We had a kid. Bitcoin went down like crazy. My father got sick. We took care of him when he died. I assumed responsibility for my mother. We had another kid. My wife’s parents got divorced, and my mother-in-law was left penniless. I assumed responsibility for her as well. My mother had another multi-year schizophrenic episode. Cops, hospitals, chaos. Then she got cancer. We had another kid. After a short battle with cancer, my mother died.

Then Bitcoin crashed 80% again. We had our fourth kid. For the first time in a long time, nothing happened. It was quiet. Bitcoin steadily rose. I spent time with the kids. There was no chaos. Just peace.

When Bitcoin hit 100k. I took a look around at my loving wife, our warm home decorated for Christmas, my four beautiful children, and I felt that it had all been worth it.

Whatever you’re going through…

Keep going.

Epic brother.

Now just imagine what your kids can achieve in life with a stable home and loving family.

The challenge is passing on the knowledge of the struggle without putting them through it.

The world is watching a Color Revolution and missing the orange revolution

Just praying my next large fiat infusion magically coincides with the next generational buying opportunity. I need that rush of stacking when everyone thinks I’m retarded again.
