Only a Sith saves in fiat.

How should a good Nostrich feel about this?

They even cut off the mole. Such disrespect.

I have been burned by enough remakes to know I shouldn't waste my time. Exhibit A: Point Break. The most god awful boring exercise in banality.

I won't watch this based on principle alone. Swayze and Elliot deserve our loyalty.

I still read and comment replies there (for now) but I'll never send him money for the "privilege" of giving them my ph # or any other personal info. I just wonder how long it'll take him to fully paywall the place.

What's with all the nesting doll quote notes?

There is no such thing. One man's n-word is another man's f-word is another man's d-word is another man's xyz-word. Word? Wird.

I'll get right on top of swallowing a mini GoPro so that I can get a live view of the digestion of said burger. If you don't hear back from me assume the attempt failed.

Anyone know of a good "Bitcoin For Rednecks" book/video series/podcast out there?

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

I just don't talk to people about it at all, with one exception being a couple that I know. I've talked to them at various times over the last year (gave them a book, earmarked time for them in case they had questions, etc) and every time it's been a waste of time. I stopped and hadn't said anything in months. A couple weeks ago one of them asked me if I was into Ethereum. I wanted to hurl my phone through a wall. The first time they ever broached the subject of crypto they mentioned Ethereum.

I just said no and changed the subject. The next day I sent them a text giving context for why not and they wanted to know which bitcoin they should convert their Ethereum to in their Coinbase account.

I'm tempted to just tell them that I'm getting out but that's me just thinking about my own "opsec" for the future. Maybe I should also tell them flat out if they're not willing or able to put the time and effort into understanding what it is, how to use/store it, and why we need it then maybe they shouldn't be messing with it in the first place.

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural...

Lol

The next best thing could be splitting the things you have to do and want to do in 2 different groups then take care of the things you have to do first. The things you want to do you can rank in terms of what you want to do most. Maybe do one thing you want to do least, something that doesn't take much time, and then do something you want to do most. Like a gift at the end of the day or something.

Just kinda work through the list like that?
