#Bitcoin friends are:

Non-fungible

Not (very) durable

Not (very) portable

Not divisible (please don't try)

Recognizable, but only for you

Scarce, but getting less so all the time

And yet, the value of just 1 is so great, it can't be expressed in ₿. 🧡

"Play stupid, disgusting, sexual games..."

You know the rest.

CRAIG WRIGHT IS A FRAUD

I admire your resolve, but here's how long I think you'll be waiting:

"IN MEMORY OF OUR GOD, OUR RELIGION, AND FREEDOM, AND OUR PEACE, OUR WIVES, AND OUR CHILDREN!"

We're #StillEarly.

Where I thought this meme was actually going:

Bingo! Any scripture -- even if it's a direct quote that God said to a person while they're writing it down -- pales in comparison to one's own experience of connecting with God directly. Such words can be very good and helpful in getting one to that point of connection, but they are no substitute for personal revelation.

Unpopular opinion: the Bible is a map, not the territory.

The Bible is an old, weathered, heavily censored, and significantly altered map with large missing pieces. It'll help you find God, but with a lot of confusion, detours, and unanswered questions along the way.

What's needed is a more complete map that was preserved and protected from mistranslations, censorship, and alterations, in order to validate the truths in the Bible, correct errors that have snuck in over time, and fill in some missing pieces. Yes, I'm saying we need the Book of Mormon.

But what's needed even more than that is people who only use scriptures as the tools they were always meant to be; as a means to an end, and not the end itself.

I told you this was an unpopular opinion.

Confession: I was never a fan of DBZ. In fact, I often openly mocked it as a kid. I honestly tried to watch it and find the appeal, but I never could bring myself to like it, even to this day.

But I can't deny the positive influence it had on some of the best people I know. Our tastes may be different, but our thirst for meaning and truth in storytelling is the same.

So even though I will likely never be a DBZ fan, I appreciate the difference that Akira Toriyama made for the world. May he rest in peace. 😔

2 quotes came to mind:

"And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God."

"Preach the gospel at all times; use words when necessary."

The best way to change hearts and minds is by preaching truth. And the best way to preach truth is to live it.

Nope. Mine looks for anything else we might be able to sell for more sats.

But that's all the time, and especially during bear markets, not just during bull markets.

#Bitcoin approaching its #AllTimeHigh is great and all, but have you ever been smiled at by a 2-month-old child, like :D, just because you made eye contact with them? 😍🥰🥹

My kids knew Weird Al's "Just Eat It" and "Fat" before they knew who Michael Jackson even was. 🤙

This is so incredibly, frustratingly true. 😖

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

-C.S. Lewis

Being a #Bitcoin hodler/maximalist is a virtue.
