Anyone notice this lil line at the top of the front page of the Jan 3, 2009 edition of The Times? 🤯😂

Gm,

If your DCA start to feel small because you used to stack way cheaper for many years

Just start a new wallet and pretend like you don't even have the old coins

A fresh start

Oh ok I didn’t know that. Unfortunately I don’t have sats to spend opening channels

I have Blink: marcelo_ar@blink.sv

Phoenix doesn’t have a lightning address. For me it was a good wallet but now it asks for sats to start using it.

Are there any open source wallet with lightning address?

😳

I have all my sats on WoS right now😳

A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.

In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.

I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.

I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.

I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.

So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they didn’t understand bitcoin or the market or even basic budgeting.

When people would make fun of me I would tell them why I was doing what I was doing. Then I would start peppering them with questions about their financial life.

“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”

“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”

People would generally go from laughing at me riding the moped to feeling shell shocked by me popping their bubble of comfortable delusion.

Still I drove the moped and everyone thought I was being weird and ridiculous and silly etc…

At 100k that decision was worth a million dollars.

At a million it will have been worth 10 million.

And at 10 million it will have been a nine figure decision.

100 million dollars.

I only rode the stupid moped for 8 months.

Ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for 10 million in the future?

Because there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.

My advice is to have your own moped moment.

Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.

I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

It is now 2025 and self-custodied lightning is still ass.

I SAID IT

$1 = 1 dollar

100 pennies = $1

1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin

100,000,000 Satoshis = 1 bitcoin

Its not hard.

I just bought 45k btc

tell us you're into bitcoin without using the word bitcoin

Thank you, me from the past

Yours truly,

Current me
