Good morning nostr,

We are about to enter the "then they fight us stage" and it is going to be fucking messy.

- Build strong local communities. Improve your own skills. Stack relentlessly.

Then we win. 🫡

Late night deep thoughts on Nostr:

One of the most challenging parts of being a firefighter/paramedic is also one of the coolest parts.

Like many other healthcare providers, we see fucked up shit quite often. We witness illness, sickness , suffering & death on a regular basis. To most, this seems like a negative (and it certainly has its challenges), but it's also a huge gift. It injects incredible perspective on the REALITY of life. We get a chance to process the true fragility of the human condition earlier than many others.

Therefore, it often feels like a gift to be able to sit back and recognize just how much of a blessing health & youth are. Firemen make this realization in their 20s & 30s, many others make this realization in their 50s & 60s.

This quote has us captivated by its accuracy. 😱

Carl Sagan wrote this about the future of America that he feared circa 1994 in the book “The Demon-Haunted World”

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...”

Gives us CHILLS 🥶

Seeing way too much economic fear porn* in bitcoin circles rn. Sure, makes for clickable content/podcasts. But can we be more genuine, realistic, and talk about the hope and revolution that is #Bitcoin?

*not that there aren’t things to be concerned about, but many are peddling borderline or straight misinformation to get clicks

The notion that energy/oil is going to get more expensive in years to come makes A LOT of sense to us — chronic underinvestment, mounting global frictions, less cooperative exporters, etc.

Who disagrees? And if u do, why?👇

I’ve been slowly throwing away all the Halloween candy my kids have been accumulating 🤫

Bonds are a solid investment if you’re living in 1950s America.

However, those days are long gone. #Bitcoin *is* the flight to safety.

Forgot about this dress. Feel like a long term sewing project I think 🤔

#bitcoin is for everyone

To be clear, if it were a truly “free market” then the US absolutely should be in a recession.

But the MASSIVE amount of fiscal (government) spending is *artificially* boosting GDP and preventing an official recession to occur.

Can they keep up the charade throughout 2024 and allow the underlying economy to recover?

Or will their actions only serve to worsen the inevitable outcome?

I give it 50/50 odds.

Let’s see what happens. 🍿

had the same old laptop with a completely broken keyboard for years

opportunity cost too high with #Bitcoin this cheap

There will come a time when all the world’s mining power won't produce a single Bitcoin in a year.
