About how long do you think?

Have any of y’all tried acupuncture and have experiences they don’t mind sharing?

I don’t know enough about it, but am very curious 🤔

It's high time to delete your LinkedIn account. If not, you haven't stacked enough #Bitcoin during the bear market.

Getting breakfast for the family hits differently here…

Yesterday I wrote some code and got zapped. Today I spent it on breakfast. Nostr literally paid for my wife’s croissant 🤯 let that sink in 🔥

It's not woowoo, it's literally the shifting of the times we are going through. Pluto is changing signs and we have all go through our individual personal journeys over the last 16 years in a particular area. These next few days are the final release of nay remnants and onto a whole new journey. And yes it will be quickened. Reality is about to shift and change beyond recognition.

“#Bitcoin looks overbought here.”

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Bitcoin is not perfect money. If you are here and still don't understand Monero's properties you are doing something wrong.

people dismiss fundamental changes to the way of life because it requires them to adapt. and adapting is energy intensive

was having a conversation with a co-worker (age ~50) about Bitcoin and the pure hostility and illogical hate for it is mind boggling. When someone immediately calls it "the stupidest thing in the world" and says "it's destroying the environment beyond repair" it's difficult to even attempt to reason with them and explain how they're wrong without explicitly saying it and turning them off completely to Bitcoin.

I really just don't understand the straight up hostility and hatred people have towards something they don't understand.

The "people will believe what they want to believe" explanation is spot-on

Depends on the person asking, really.

Can you gain something from attendance personally? That we otherwise wouldn't know you required in terms of your Bitcoin conviction/repertoire.

Definitely an optimistic experience. Nice to be a part of something that's actually utilitarian and positive.

This is the foundations od our new world. Our bright future. Laying it down will be ALL OF OUR purposes in life. And it's one of the most selfless and rewarding efforts you can leave as part of your legacy on earth.
