How many people buy bitcoin and never understand the full power of what they own?
Imagine holding the philosopher’s stone in your hand and thinking it’s just a rock.
An ounce of execution is worth a pound of ideas.
For those who weren’t aware, Pearl Jam is still putting out bangers.
PSA: Despite popular theories, I am not, in fact, Dick Greaser of the Bitcoin Bugle.
The bear market didn’t break me that badly. But it came close.
“I’m a Bitcoin Core contributor.”
“Oh, so you’re a developer?”
“No, I run a node and I share my feelings with them.”
Somewhere right now, a man is waking up from a coma. He sits up excited in his hospital bed and hugs his wife and kids. His wife gives him his phone to reach out to everyone he knows.

If there’s one piece of advice I could pass along, let it be this.
Take initiative. If you want something to happen, take initiative. If you don’t, it won’t happen.
If you want to make friends, get their phone numbers. If you want to level up your career, ask about opportunities. If you want an event, organize it.
Make it happen or it won’t.

Billionaire doesn’t want people messing around with his investment.
