A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Sad story in all vectors.

Blue check marks are target #1.

Global financial crisis 2007-2009 onwards, it's a pretty bleak picture for global government debt.

You know eBay happens when debt rises.....

#BTC doesn't have inflation

Insomnia is no fun 😵‍💫

They are both rock solid. A combo of both, though, is multitargeted!

"Bitcoin is better money, with NO inflation"

If the goal is to appeal to the unconverted, then option 2 would have a more informative and widespread appeal.

Don’t mine

Don’t buy shitcoins

Don't gamble

Buy BTC with paycheck, robots or exchange.

Store on self-custody wallet

Am I doing this right?

When will someone make a Kickstarter alternative on the blockchain (or does one already exist?)

Kickstarter are predatory mother fuckers who facilitate the loss of pledges by allowing shitty creators to do sketchy things.

Imagine waking up at 1223 and you don't get to say GM.

In all fairness I've been awake since 0400.

Mute user > mute lists. I hope the list has no limit.

I don't intend on curating a list, seems zero sum and negative in outlook.

Your AI is wack. TrAIN uR b0t BetTEr pLeaZE. 😂

Update:

🛏️ Made it back to bed.

😱 The floors are creaky.

😯 There is no avoiding the noise. There is no path available that is silent.

🎉 I didn't stumble into things.

😴 I did wake up my wife. She fell back asleep immediately.
