Hey Jimmy. Apologies for slow response! No final straw as such, more that I’m increasingly drawn to living in and from the world I’ve seen and increasingly see. It’s almost abrahamic this bitcoin journey! The breaking news is a conundrum though and I confess when the assassination attempt broke the first thing I wanted to do (and I confess did via a new account) was jump on x to see it unfold!
I then spent hours reading the same facts from multiple sources. I found that frustrating as I lost momentum on the things I care about. Perhaps i need an aggregator to monitor the feed and consolidate anything truly new that comes out.
Just published first article on linked in as a full time bitcoiner.
Would love any plebs out there to give it a read and a like (if you like it) to boost the signal.

Today I sent my 80 yr old father some sats to spend at pick n pay in South Africa.
Talking him through setting up a lightning wallet : 2 minutes
Talking him through sending me an invoice: 2 minutes
Sending the sats: speed of light for fraction of a cent
At which point he asked me “that’s cool, and how do I convert this to real money?”
Processing just how deeply lodged in our collective psyche the fiat illusion/delusion is: work in progress!
That question from a man who’s read the creature from Jekyll island and understands the problem!
