truly what matters above all else

back on track reading a book a week this year

“entertainment media”

is the majority of our media today

They will always find new ways to print more money and steal your purchasing power

#bitcoin protects you from this daylight robbery

Their next excuse is just around the corner...

#Bitcoin's price is the least interesting thing about it

If that's all you focus on, you're NGMI

You need to work on your skills 🔐

(Which will also improve your conversations....)

Human action is what is centralizing. Most people pricing bitcoin from a piece of paper - to get rich. That will centralize further because it is how people see the world. (Trust institutions, think prices naturally go up over time).

To prevent that outcome requires enough people who contribute their time in education, running nodes, economic nodes, spending in bitcoin, building additional layers, building companies that create value which “when” the attack comes (which it most certainly will) - there is enough knowledge, decentralization, power, privacy, etc to withstand that attack. (Or make the risk of that attack so great from the centralizing chain - that it is not worth it)

That is what is being built and those on Nostr are already a part of that future.

Giving in to a system of control only makes it stronger.

We are the change.

1. Head down.

2. Work hard.

3. Stack sats.

4. Glory to God.

I appreciate medical doctors and other healthcare providers, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to give advice that is often adverse to human health.

I appreciate farmers, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to grow copious amounts of corn and soybeans, which are used to generally undermine human health.

I appreciate soldiers and military veterans, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to use lethal force to support unethical missions and kill innocent people... often leading to PTSD and other long-term psychological issues.

I appreciate educators, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to reward strict compliance, memorization, and group-think rather than autonomous thought, creativity, and integrity.

I appreciate commerce and the necessity of a widely accepted medium of exchange, but I hate the fact that many are incentivized (ie, subsidized) by the Federal Government to steal purchasing power from (forced) users of the fiat currencies--thereby worsening income inequality--rather than allowing to people to survive and thrive through their own proof of work.

I could go on.

Do you see that everything the Federal Government touches, it corrupts over time?

Anyway, GM. ☕

LFG! Ditch the gold Ray!

How do I find the will to go for a run I’m exhausted?

‼️As long as your #Bitcoin is securely in self-custody, all the global good news is just the cherry on top. If it’s not, you’re not fully benefiting—and you won’t sleep well knowing someone else controls one of your keys-or knows how much you have, and what you do with it 👀

‼️Bitcoin market manipulation continues as smart money mocks retail investors—it’s far too easy for those with a clue. Why? Retail is too lazy to put in the work to understand money and how the game is played. Buy Bitcoin, hold it in self-custody, and you win. Easy enough?
