Each "bull run" just feels different than the last. 2013, barely anyone I knew mentioned BTC. 2017, a few did, but mostly to poke fun at about when it would crash in tulip fashion. The hype in 2021 when it was in this price range was so retail driven and media was focusing on producing content for retail to read. Friends and colleagues were just starting to mention it more and ask if I still owned any. I'd long given up promoting it to them and would just say "yeh, some". Now here we are back in the same range, and it feels so more under the radar for the hype amid retail. So wild. Truly each time has been its own animal. Which is why I never believe any of these projections or hypflunecers trying to sell you their shovels. It's all white noise to me. I just ignore them and keep stacking.

What an amazing day! I sold one of my pigs to an old Ukrainian butcher. With the understanding that he would process the pig at my place. I learned so much. WARNING BUTCHERING PICTURES!

The kill shot was the normal headshot with a .22, but instead of cutting the throat he pulled out a boot knife and stabbed it in the heart. Spot on, the first try, blood pumping straight out of the single wound.

Then he placed the dispatched pig on a piece of metal roof, everything from here on out was “clean.”

He used a weed torch to burn the hair off, used a homemade tool to perforate the skin and continued to torch until the holes began to bubble.

At this point he began alternating pouring water on the pig and tourching until the skin started to crack.

At that point they used scrub brushes to remove the “tar.”

Next he rolled the animal on its back and made cuts from its throat to the groin and took off a beautiful piece of fatty meat.

He separated the intestinal sack by hand and pulled the whole thing out in one piece.

Oh! Because he stabbed it in the heart, there was no blood except for in the thoracic cavity. Which was scooped out with an old coffee mug. It was very important to wash the animal several times during the scorching process and no blood was allowed to touch the meat.

I had to leave before they broke the animal down the rest of the way. Basically it was freezer ready by the time they left.

The best part was that I got to try “salo.” Salted, raw pig fat. They called it “Ukrainian sashimi.” Firm texture, a little chewy with a hint of smoke from the scorching process.

I’m so grateful that I get to live this life, meet people like this and learn new things.

DON'T POST CROWD SHOTS OF BITCOINERS ON CONFERENCES WHO DIDN'T GIVE YOU EXPLICIT CONSENT TO INDEX THEIR FACE ON THE INTERNET.

BE CLASSY. RESPECT PRIVACY. REMEMBER YOUR CYPHERPUNK MANNERS.

I think saying more here would be a waste of energy tbh. It just felt important to raise the topic

Bitcoin #Atlantis is all very well and good, but it must be said that the treatment volunteers receive from the production team is suspicion based on opacity rather than trust based on transparency. It's ironic that such an approach has been used in an event supposedly dedicated to promoting freedom and understanding. I honestly even feel uneasy that they have some of my details, which I gave them to sign up (happily at the time). Appalling communication and behaviour on so many levels - spoils the spirit! I'll be watching the rest of the conference from the seaside, which is as good a reason as any to have flown to #Madeira on purpose. When the basics are missing, what else can you do? Stick to #nostr and #livestream I guess 🙄🖖🏽

Listening to the speakers today and seeing people around the conference, I've realised how few Bitcoiners there are and even fewer still on nostr.

If you're here right now, you are the change.

You are leading the line in defense of our fundamental freedoms and are setting an example for everyone else to follow.

I consider you my brothers and privileged to stand next to you.

GFY.
