The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. Taking part since 2014. Going Galt since 2021.

Bullish on life because I nailed the espresso pulls this morning.

Hand grinder + Hand lever pull = life on hard mode

Can you plate one in copper and let it oxidize Orange?

Also beautifully done!

Recreational outrage - the only sport on the internet.

San Diego is the last hope for how CA used to be. Party on and enjoy the fun and perfect weather & beautiful people.

So excited!

Gonna be a great day as I received a wonderful message

Great advice & way easier to weaponize an income while sleeping soundly at night knowing the DCA continues and cold storage gets topped up automatically.

STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

Much love my dude, happy to see you here.

Be mighty and keep speaking the truth

It's FUD Friday!

Starting today, I will randomly select a piece of #Bitcoin FUD every Friday, and respond to it. You never know when you might come across this FUD again, so make sure to bookmark it for later. ๐Ÿ˜‰

And if you think you can answer this better than me, or if there's anything you would like to change about my answer, please comment about it below.

"The concept of "intrinsic value" is often misunderstood. The meaning of the word "intrinsic" refers to a quality inherent in the essential nature of a thing (e.g. an intrinsic quality of a sphere is its roundness). Since nothing has value on its own without someone valuing it for their own reasons, the idea of "intrinsic value" cannot exist.

Value is subjective, and just as water is highly valued in a desert but perhaps less so on an ocean, Bitcoin is highly valued for its capabilities and properties by some, and possibly not by others. Anyone who wants to store their time and efforts in something that won't steal from them, and wants the ability to transact with anyone anywhere for any reason, will attribute value to Bitcoin, while those who do not want those abilities will not value it. However, most people would prefer to not be victims of theft or censorship, so it's expected that pretty much everyone will agree that Bitcoin has immense value, once they take the time to learn about it."
