Family. #Bitcoin. Aortic Surgery. Node runner, solo miner, sat stacker. Wrestling back individual sovereignty from state control, one SAT at a time.

For sure. It starts early when you rub elbows with those up north. First clue is Tim Horton’s coffee is absolute dog water….complete scam coffee.

All of the recent news out of Minnesota reminds me why I started converting my savings to Bitcoin in 2021.

Yes NGU is nice, but this was always about opting in to a non-violent means of separating money from state.

The rebelution is just getting started.

“The world is NOT your oyster….the world IS an oyster”

Its tradition here to shuck a case of oysters around the holidays. This year, Raspberry Points.

I was reminded of a conversation with a friend about the above saying. He contends that the world isn’t a beautiful, briny shucked oyster served on a platter of ice. It’s the hard, sharp closed oyster waiting to be extracted from its shell. You need the right tools, the right plan and effort to succeed. You may cut yourself in the process if not careful, but the reward is well worth the effort.

The world is an oyster…..I like that.

Took 2 of my kids to the most FIAT place on earth yesterday. My youngest’ lacrosse team has a two day tournament in area and we decided to join the team for a day in park.

They’ve never been to disney….we instead vacation in nature. Hiking in national parks, snorkeling/spearfishing….they’ve come to enjoy nature and working physically while taking time away from work.

It was like landing on a different planet.

Jesus, family, ₿itcoin and guns. I’ll take the silent, non-violent protest against tyranny first before resorting to the latter.

Quietly wondering if this is part of the “OG wallets selling” seen on-chain thru 2025. Taking profits at a round 100k number…yes, but I suspect the true OG - separate money from state - crew might be questioning Core’s direction as well as WallStreet’s recent embrace of ₿

World: What are you doing?

Me: Oh nothing, just mining my own business.

2025: a blip in time on the journey towards monetary freedom. The discussions about mnav, shareholder dilution, spam filters and developer influence, proof of reserves, Epstein and quantum will all be temporary diversions to Satoshi’s vision. He picked the destination and soundtrack…freedom money for humanity. So we all need to shut our cake holes and get back to basics: stack sats, cold store, run a node and hash at home. The road will be bumpy but #WAGMI

Day was going pretty great until this. Never sleep on your opsec. Gone from the car for15 mins and someone smash and grabbed in a busy parking lot. Got wife’s cash and ran up $600 on credit cards in 10 mins. Pain in the ass, but our fault for not being vigilant.

Difference between functionality and spread on strike and river was eye opening. Bravo River! Strike looking like Armstrong is in charge.

I know a lot about bitcoin and investing and economics, but at one time I knew nothing about any of these things.

20 years ago I knew nothing about investing.

11 years ago I knew nothing about bitcoin.

7 years ago I knew nothing about economics.

So what changed?

Well I was curious and then I followed that curiosity where it took me.

I became obsessed with the things I was obsessed with.

Some people look at how expensive a house is and think they’ll never afford one, other people think “I wonder how I can make it cheaper?” And then they learn to build a house.

Time is going to pass.

Your time is going to pass.

It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in bitcoin.

That time passed and I know plenty of people who have nothing to show for it.

In fact that’s the norm.

I’m the exception.

You know why?

Because they weren’t curious about anything and I am.

I care.

I care about my life, I want things. I believe if others have it so can I.

Somebody out there has the life you want.

You can have it too, but you have to give a shit about yourself.

You have to talk differently to yourself.

You have to focus your energy.

You have to break free and very often you will have to go it alone.

But the time is going to pass regardless and do you really want to have nothing to show for it?

Don’t do it because you need to prove something to other people.

Do it because you’re not living up to your potential otherwise.

Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard?

Or do you want to be who you were meant to be?

It’s your call.

I made my decision some time ago.

“Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard?”

That hits. Jazz that up with some ai gen image and you’ve created the dankest of memes.

You good bro? Blink twice if the cia has you in cuffs. Will send backup.

GM! Parents weekend at my son’s college. Egg fired up before dawn and is slowly infusing 30 lbs of pork shoulder with its pecan and hickory smoke show. Good bbq is a low time preference, proof of work game.

PLL Championship on ABC. Not sure how many lax fans exist on NOSTR but tune in the watch the fastest game on two feet!

Little paddle and casting this afternoon, passing time during #paperbitcoinsummer.
