My #minibits wallet is hemmed up. Everytime I open it I get a pop up that a new update is available but I can't update and it's just frozen

Merry Christmas, you beautiful weirdos!

END OF AN ERA VIBES.

NEED TO FIND THE WILL TO STOP CARING. MOST NEWCOINERS WILL BE FED TO THE WOLVES.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR 🎄

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again.

I got my first sats in 2021. I had zero, ZERO, technical, security, software background. But, I knew this was something special to protect and secure.

So I figured some things out. I reached out for help when needed. I learned how to run my own node, I figured out which tradeoffs worked best for me (because there are always trade-offs)

If you care, you have to take the time to learn. There is no Bitcoin without self-custody. And for real it is even so much easier today than 2021! So many products and multi-sig options make it easy for the technically illiterate. Do the work. Bitcoin is proof-of-work. There is no corner cutting, while also admitting there are easy self-custody options out there today. Don’t trust disingenuous actors saying otherwise.

There's something disturbing and humorous about accidental death and dismemberment insurance

Got good look at the volcano this morning

When others panic, we see opportunity.

I'm listening to the Saylor/Saif podcast, and I'm realizing that Saylor is a Bitcoin maxi and a shitcoin maxi. I have a lot of disorganized and incoherent thoughts around that.

He represents a cohort of the current system that recognize the value of Bitcoin, accumulate Bitcoin, and refuse to let go of it. The only way that works is to collateralize the Bitcoin and maximize economic transactions in shitcoins (shares, bonds, fiat, stablecoins, shitcoins, etc.).

So long as the world can be scammed into transacting in shitcoin, They will never stop stacking for free.

Saylor is making the same case as Bitstein did in 2014: that Everyone's a Scammer, even you. Bitcoin maximalists can and should play the same game, stack for free by holding Bitcoin and transacting shitcoin; perform the speculative attack.

Build Bitcoin slowly and steadily until it technologically eclipses every shitcoin in existance, and no one can reasonable be convinced to forego Bitcoin.

So, years ago I needed a big surface area in my kitchen where I could cut food, chop vegetables without having to worry about where to set aside what I chopped and don't thrash my countertop.

I also needed a surface where to mix dough without having to worry about space.

So, instead of buying 40€ of cutting board/surface area, I picked up a hobby, spent thousands of euros in tools, built multiple skills (from sharpening, to hand planing, from chiseling, to chopping mortises and dovetailing), watched hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, read a bunch of books about forgotten woodworking styles and techniques, occupied what it should've been my car's garage to amount to this, a chopping board made of European beech and white oak.

I regret nothing.

Think hard before putting anyone one pedestal.

A brief note on worship of the self/Self:

### Ozymandias

```

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

```

GM. Merry Christmas Eve Eve!🎄
