Was quoted 14k for my side yard project. No thanks. I’ll do the work.

Grass ripped out, inserted bark, planted Red Baron Peach tree and much more to come. Just do the work yourself. This is not my trade, but I’ll figure it out.

Start with one discipline a day. Start once you’ve mastered one, go for two a day.

Laziness isn’t just a character flaw. It’s generational theft.

The boy who won’t stack wood today is training to be the man who can’t provide tomorrow. Mental laziness, physical laziness. Same disease, different symptoms.

Your habits today are your children’s inheritance tomorrow. Choose accordingly.

The architecture IS the answer. You can’t build freedom on permission infrastructure. Rumble learned nothing from YouTube except how to ask permission more politely.

Gm.

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.

Sure as hell beats buying a Dodger jersey. Also, Gm

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’m 107 days late, but hello

I agree with nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks on this.

Subscribe just seems more definitionally accurate than Follow because it simply means you’re opting into their content stream. It carries less ideological weight.

You can subscribe to someone’s thoughts without necessarily believing in or adopting their worldview. It’s a more honest description of the actual relationship. I want to receive what you’re broadcasting, but that doesn’t mean I’m a follower in any deeper sense.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There’s a little nuance but this is it in a nutshell. Democrats are blocking government funding until Republicans agree to extend $350 billion in Obamacare subsidies that expire end of 2025, while Republicans say pass a clean funding bill first and negotiate healthcare separately. Meanwhile millions of federal workers miss paychecks and benefits get suspended because DC can’t separate basic operations from policy fights.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Exactly. The signal to noise ratio here is inverted from everywhere else. Less scrolling, more substance. Bitcoin has this way of filtering for people who think in first principles. Turns out that creates better conversations

True. “Subscribe” just seems more definitionally accurate because it simply means you’re opting into their content stream. It carries less ideological weight. You can subscribe to someone’s thoughts without necessarily believing in or adopting their worldview. It’s a more honest description of the actual relationship. I want to receive what you’re broadcasting, but that doesn’t mean I’m a follower in any deeper sense.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

No, I haven’t started a book. 😂
