Good morning #coffeechain and #campstr people. We're having ultra primitive caveman #coffee out here in the woods. I like the lightweight backpacking setup, but car camping has its perks. ☕ #roughingit #camping #hammockcamping #grownostr

If you don’t understand the implications of this I can’t help you.

"Public interest" is code for, we can't let you know how deep the corruption goes...

Our arguments must not only be good and true, but also beautiful. Rightness without persuasiveness is fruitless.

Our arguments must not only be good and true, but also beautiful. Rightness without persuasiveness is fruitless.

#bitcoin may free us from external tyrannies, but the greater danger lies in our internal tyrannies. (We can be free in prison.) For that, something much stronger is needed.

Got about 7 hours of driving to do today. Better get after it.

Have a great day ahead everyone

The ultimate Christian hope is not utopian earth through progressive improvements, but rather the finished work of Christ, brought to fullness in eternity. Our hope is not in princes, presidents or political processes, it's in heaven where Christ is king now and forever.

I'm Amillennial. Was surprised to hear a premil guy say that. I mean, Col. 3. I mean, "here we have no continuing city," we "look for a better, one with foundations," etc. I mean Romans 8 - sheeps to the slaughter. I mean that Christ repeatedly told us that he has overcome the world and to not lose heart in the face of tribulation. We don't win in a geopolitical kingdom of God consummated now kind of way. That is "not yet."

NOSTR ALREADY HAS MORE ADOPTION THAN BITCOIN TWITTER FIVE YEARS AGO.

GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT.

"Christians: we don't win down here." -- John MacArthur

"In this world, you will have tribulation. But do not lose heart: I have overcome the world." -- Jesus

"Even so, come Lord Jesus" -- and quickly.

A CALL TO TWITTER ADDICTS

WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ANOTHER “ALT SEASON”, I INVITE ALL YOU TWITTER ADDICTS TO REDIRECT YOUR LIFE’S ENERGY, UP TO NOW INVESTED IN FEEDING THIS ADDICTION TO TWITTER ENGAGEMENT, TOWARDS CLEANING UP YOUR ACT INSTEAD. COME JOIN US ON THE NOSTR FRONT—WE HAVE A LOT TO GIVE, YES, BUT WE NEED YOU, TOO.

A call to crypto flippers

Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.

You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.

I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.

But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.

I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.

So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.

We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.

Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.

Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.

So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!

Get knowledge. Get wisdom. In all your getting, get understanding.

Discernment is crucial.

Know the times.

I have a really hard time resting. It's been 6 days since I worked (due to a flu last week plus Christmas) and I'm itching to get back to it, but I'm going to force myself to wait at least until Monday.

And I think it's important to - not only is the sabbath "made for man" for his benefit, rest is also an admission that accomplishing what you set out to do "is not of him who runs but of God who gives mercy." I am desperate to make the most of my time by working on Coracle. But "unless the Lord builds the house, he labors in vain that builds it."

This is why Moses prays in Psalm 90, "establish the work of our hands for us." He had recognized the ephemerality of human life: "we finish our years like a sigh... their boast is only labor and sorrow." He asks God therefore to "teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

But this wisdom is not despair, or skepticism, or stoicism like that expressed in ecclesiastes, while an unknowable God's voice "makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare," but hope, and peace:

"Go, eat your bread with joy,

And drink your wine with a merry heart;

For God has already accepted your works.

Let your garments always be white,

And let your head lack no oil.

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun."

God has already accepted my works, which in the end is really the only thing that matters, and he has commanded me to rest. And this is only possible - either the work or the rest - in Christ, God become man to do the work we could not, and to give us the rest we could not enter into.

And so every work left for the Christian is a work of joy, and industry is rewarded because it increases the number of accepted works. Rest is permitted because all that can be done has been. Thank God for his mercy on us, that he "knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust" and yet "as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him."

Anyhow, Merry Christmas, see you next week 😅

LoTR is more true than most history books.

Good Morning ☀️😃

Merry Xmas 🎄 Everyone
