Bukele's going to be here? 😆

Come visit the Bitcoin Meetups booth today (after Trump's speech 😉) and say hi!

The FO feeling is gone.

Now alI that's left is the sensation of MO. 😣

See you tomorrow, #Nashville!

#Bitcoin2024

This is exactly what I've personally experienced over the years, while being told repeatedly that the opposite was true.

I'm glad someone finally tested it out and verified what I, and likely others, have seen with my/our own eyes.

Everyone working at nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv right now:

I'm going to #Bitcoin2024 in #Nashville, but I won't arrive until Friday morning, so I'm already feeling FOMO for all the things happening there this week before I get there. 😖

I hope you'll drop by the Bitcoin Meetups booth on Friday and Saturday. That's when I'll be there! 😁

I have a confession to make, but fortunately, I'm also forsaking what I'm confessing: I didn't support Donald Trump before, but I do now.

I was never 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 Trump — I can't say the same for Hitlery or Brandon — but I've long been against most governments and political leaders. Their near-perfect track record of evil, and corruption-inducing incentives, gave me every reason to distrust them.

I never strongly disagreed with Trump on his politics, either. Sure, there were/are little things we didn't/don't see eye-to-eye on, but we agree on most issues. That, along with rejecting the sham of voting, led to my refusal to vote for Trump or anyone else.

But that all changed last week.

No, I won't vote for Trump because he was shot at, nor simply because of the clear divine intervention in which God showed 𝘏𝘪𝘴 support for Trump getting elected (though that's one of the reasons why Trump now has my support).

My mind changed the instant Trump raised his fist, after getting shot in the ear, and shouted, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 was when I saw in him that essential skill that every great leader needs to have: the ability to inspire the masses.

Before then, if you asked me to define Trump in 1 word, it would've been "smarmy".

But smarmy people don't think of inspiring others when there's danger. They're all show: a walking, talking Potemkin Village that crumbles when the going gets tough ... or deadly.

That's what I thought Trump was. But that was not the man who bravely went back to work after getting shot. Did Trump change? Sure; that experience would've changed anyone.

But did he change from "smarmy" to "brave" in that moment? No; I only saw him correctly for the first time.

It's likely that Trump changed a lot in his 1st term, but either way, my point is this:

𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲,

𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

Let's get that man back in the Oval Office.

I just edited my note to include the YouTube link as well, but here it is, in case you don't see the updated version:

I'll be there, mostly at the Bitcoin Meetups booth. Come and add your name to the giant 16' x 8' world map there!

I'm also hosting an event at the very end of the conference, a meetup for meetup organizers and aspiring meetup organizers, in the Karl Dean Ballroom from 4-5pm on the 27th. We'll discuss how to start a meetup, how to spread the word about it, and how nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 can help us build up Bitcoin's social layer.

Except for me and my wife, it's more like:

Me: "It comes down to first principles!"

Her: "Exactly!"

🤣

I was just on The Daily Bitcoin Show with Craig LeBlanc, where I talked about Satlantis, the Bitcoin Conference, Bitcoin meetups, and a good deal of faith and politics, as well. Check it out here:

As more information is released, the probability that the shooting was staged approaches zero faster than the price of Bcash.

My condolences to the family of the spectator who was killed. 😔

I hope that those who were injured, including Donald Trump, will recover quickly.

"Now that someone tried to assassinate Trump, he's *definitely* getting my vote!"

There is a non-zero chance that this attack was staged, explicitly so you would respond like that.

I'm not inclined to believe that Trump would stage this, but let's just keep the possibility of a psyop in mind. If this was a real attack, then I'm extremely grateful that it failed, & I sincerely hope Trump recovers quickly.

But let's all remember:

Don't trust; verify.

nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft fixes this.
