Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

$87k and I feel nothing.

My home has fallen to 18 #Bitcoin

The free market and deflation leading to abundance.

I believe the overall idea is that you have some degree of trust on the people you follow, and they have some degree of trust on the people they follow. The “closer” someone is to you in this graph, the more likely it is that you trust them / are interested in their content, and the more people you follow who follow someone, the more likely that you should trust that person too.

Not super confident on the details though, I’ll be watching the replies to your note 😉

I’m sincerely excited about RFK’s goal to make America healthy. I really hope he does something. America has some of the the worst food and eating habits in the world..

My dad has stage 4 cancer and has made the personal choice to “fight” with chemo, radiation, and all that jazz.

I have seen him suffer all year. Now, he is in the hospital again and just called to inform me that they found a mass in his brain.

It’s a depressing situation because he wants to live so bad, but his body doesn’t.

I don’t like sharing stuff like this because I don’t wanna be a buzzkill, but if you don’t see me note as much or in a good mood, I got some stuff going on.

Welcome Jón. Nice to meet you. For anything you need of ID I'm here friend 🦠🧫

A meme good enough to steal!

What is your profession? JkG. *This one is done with pen and acrylic ink.

lol. My doctor wrote me a new prescripton. I told him to send it to the hospital's own/internal pharmacy. Now CVS and Walgreens are msging me saying that the prescription is ready.

Fuck this system. Can't wait to Nostrify the shit out of this clusterfuck.
