Only possible with this kind of love and support 😘

Back at you. Give the fam my love ❤️.

I recently had a big shift in my life that has me feel like I am back from the dead. A second chance as what I had been building for a decade, and then proceeded to fuck-up because I was too stupid to see and value what I had been working on. I was sloppy and thoughtless about much of my approach to life and let that suck me into my own self-aggrandizing bullshit. In short, I was pretty childish about what I was doing as I thought I had made it.

A year and a half later, someway somehow, I got the smallest of shots to fix it. It was a massive risk that I had to stake really everything I had built on. But in that moment when I had to make a move, to do or die; I took a deep breath and took everything in that moment. I knew what it was, what risk I needed to take, and what the cost would be if I had miscalculated. But I knew, as knew more than anything in my soul that I would make it—but only with that risk being taken. It honestly felt like one of the most badass moment of my life because I really showed up for myself with no doubts, lack, or hesitation.

I crave moments like that in my life. They define the peaks and troughs of life, and are the most intense character building moments of my life. It is to choose to be the man in the arena, marred with the blood, sweat, and tear that only those who step into the arena will ever know. It is vastly more rewarding and fulfilling than any life with the cold and timid soul who choose a safe life where nothing is ever at risk.

Well-tenderized :/

Love this artist.

Pics or didn’t happen.

I often forget that if you are reading this and on nostr, you are part of an extraordinary high signal group that understands on some level WTF is going on.

Don’t get dismayed by the haters, detractors, doofuses, and dumbasses. Building this tool and other parts of the sovereign tech stack will be one of the keys to keeping humanity free in the future. Keep building frens.

It’s a safety lock that you have to press in and then rotate, because without we would immediately set fire to ourselves.

God tried to let me know it was too big today. My hubris wouldn’t let me let go, so he let me break some ribs instead.

That’ll teach me.

Hit me up if you’ll be in Prague the week before the conference and wanna hang.

Right now just through Bitcoin Magazine (who partners with Amazon). I would prefer to have self published, but I knew nothing about publishing a book, so they were definitely my best option. I know someone ripped it and put it on libgen, so that’s an option too!

We have to fight back by building the tools to help us regain our privacy. Bitcoin helps us be able to finance anonymous developers working on projects like nostr, tor and others. This is why my whole philosophical thesis is around the sovereignty that cryptography can offer us, but it is not enough. We have to actively build, create, empower, and educate about what these tools can do, but that part is on us.

This is why we need cryptography to speak a single language of property rights that cannot be violated. Cryptography doesn’t need rights; its existence demands otherwise.

Everyone has to get there dick slammed in a door their first bear market—it’s like touching the stove but worse. Everyone need the lesson so they don’t fuck it up the second time around.

The irony of nostr is that it lack the same addictive qualities of inferior centralized social media services. It really is a better user experience in terms of content and quality by way of curating one’s feed. But the lack of the ‘surprise’ of brain-cycle content makes the drugs of social media less potent.

GM Frens.

Glory to the day.

One shitty kid ruins it for the rest of the kids.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk on early childhood education.

I got it in the lip like that once, swollenness face for a few days.

Me after casually meeting someone for the first time.
