Bitcoin. Good luck trying to flee a country in the future with bars of gold.
My friend's family fled Vietnam, on a boat in the 70's, and they hard bars of gold in their bags.
The US rescued them, but they were not allowed to bring any of their luggage with them, all their life savings were lost forever.
Anything physical is too difficult to secure against government seizure (or criminals). Not sure the difference between government and criminals.
Definitely Bitcoin. ₿
Better to shove seed phrase in my head. Much less painfull. 🤣
Cool 😎
I've made compost like this. Gets real hot, highest temp I got 175 degrees F. Trick to getting it hot I found was make sure you got enough Nitrogen from manure. Can also add comfy/nettles nitrogen source. My woodchips for some batches were abit too big. Make sure it's moist enough, so when you turn it, if its drying out add water. Try use rain water (tap water will have anti microbial chemicals). After 3 or 4 batches i had it pretty much nailed.
Also when it gets too hot 170-175 plus instead of turning, try poking holes in it from above with a broom handle, this can bring down temperature below 175 to 160 sweet spot and can give you an extra day or 2 before turning. Good luck. 👍
You turning into abit of a celeb Joe 🌟 well done man 👍
I'm sure bank of England, financial experts, imf claim it has no intrinsic value either. So Bitcoin is not money, it has no intrinsic value, it's going to zero. Nouriel Roubini nobel prize winner says bitcoin has no fundamental value.
Right, I'm sending this video and bunch of others to my taxman to justify why i don't need to pay my tax on bitcoin profits. You can't pay tax on something that has no value, isn't money, going to zero.
What do u think? Do u think he will agree? 🤣
Very useful to know. Cheers. 👍
Bitcoin is not a bubble. Bitcoin is what will burst the bubble. I like that 👌.
WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR TIME?
No seriously...
Do you?
I know how you can.

Just en route home after an amazing 48 hours in Sydney at Cheatcode. Thank you to nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx and nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj for having me along as MC. Not only did I get to meet in person some characters from the "Bitcoin Industry" that I'd followed for a long time, which was amazing, but I also got to meet up with people I am growing closer with over time, local talent to Australia, people who've really started to reap the rewards of this beautiful experience that is Bitcoin, people I am proud to call friends.
So what's the story Jake? I hear you asking. Well fair call. It's pretty simple really: last night, over a beer with conference attendee's, it really hit home; WE'RE IN CONTROL OF OUR TIME. One friend had just quit a long-term fiat job, one was planning a 7 month road trip with their family, one has been "semi-retired" for 4 years, one hadn't even considered other employers for 7 years... And another was really homing in on their health with a huge volume of daily steps.
You know who you are as you read this!
And that's not to name them all. This is unique to Bitcoin. At least, in my experience, I don't know of a single cohort of men between 30 and 45, who are able to reclaim their time like this. Yes there are some outlier founders with exits. Yes there are some early retired traders. Yes there are those who chose a frugal life. But none of them have the confidence on the future these men have.
It's epic. It's inspiring. It's infectious.
Then what really gets me excited is what they might go on to create. They are making space in their lives. With new space comes new ideas. With new ideas comes new products, services, businesses, investments, art, music, hospitality, you name it. But I think the key is that they don't HAVE to go on and do those things. What they create will come from a place of desire not need.
Could this be a snapshot into the future? I think so yes. An increased focus on strong relationships, family, personal health, responsibility, accountability, and the overall message of this note "PEOPLE ARE RE-VALUING THEIR TIME". No longer is a fiat employment contract the only way to survive. There is another, self-sovereign, empowering, purposeful approach to personal financing, and therefore life.
This is what Bitcoin does. This is the dream of the Austrian School of Economics come to the digital renaissance, sound money, with proven low time preference thinking for all to see. These people are happy. They're free. They will explore. Try. Test. Fail. Learn. Move on. Balanced, based, brave. What a thing to witness.
In short: BUY SOME BITCOIN. If you already have some, buy some more. If you own assets that are not Bitcoin, ask yourself "why do I own what I own?" Does the opportunity cost of not owning Bitcoin make sense? If you have a business, how can you incorporate Bitcoin into it? Can you DCA more disposable income. Whatever it takes. The more you can accumulate, plus enough time, anyone can have this, ANYONE CAN RECLAIM THEIR TIME...
Sending good vibes
🙏
I'm planning to become a nomad for a few years and see what other countries and cultures around the world are like. I would never even dream of doing this if it wasn't for Bitcoin.
I dont have a massive stash, and I'm content living fairly simply, without bitcoin I'd never even consider this.
Maybe one of the most important qualities that Bitcoin cultivates is confidence. ✊
Anyone who doesn’t think it matters for Bitcoin who wins the 2024 US elections is totally detached from reality and does not think very hard about the truth of anything.
If you've been paying attention in the last 24 hours knows you know that the mere false rumour of an INVESTIGATION into Tether caused the price of Bitcoin to fall $2,000 USD. If an anti-Bitcoin president is elected, what do you think that will do to the price, genius?
And set aside the price for a moment. Craig "Faketoshi" Wright, who UK judges branded as a compulsive liar, waging lawfare against Bitcoin Core and its developers caused some people to say they would cease working on Bitcoin development, even before the end of the trial that eventually destroyed Faketoshi.
What do you think the US government going full anti-Bitcoin would do to those people? They would almost certainly stop working on Bitcoin if it meant the beginning of problems for them. A unconcluded court case in INGSOC was enough to frighten off devs; who could possibly be stupid enough to believe that an anti-Bitcoin American president would not scare off developers and businesses to a large degree? You'd have to be a drug addled simpleton not to see this as a very real threat.
Saying things like, "Aint no stopping us now, we're on the move!" and believing that nothing can stop Bitcoin is absolutelydelusionalbitcoincultgibberish. It is infantile, stupid, delusional, ridiculous, credulous, foolishness, odd, dumb, silly, childish, ignorant, puzzling and dopey.
It matters quite a bit who wins the election; especially people who KYC their users and have applied for and obtained Money Transmitter Licenses (https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-is-not-money-if-you-seek-compliance-you-are-asking-for-trouble-cbe9107e5298). Ripple have bet on the enemy of Bitcoin, and GEPOTUS is for Bitcoin. If you were any sort of betting man, you would be betting for Trump, because there is a lower probability of absolute disaster.
It's incredible how amazingly hollow people are. Shocking in fact. Thankfully, there is a small army of Anarcho Capitalist Bitcoiners, some of whom have access to many many tens of millions of dollars, and they are very dedicated to replacing the system that controls their fiat money and replacing it with something where their wealth can't be stolen.
These people don't imitate other people's cultures like brainwashees, know how to wear a shirt and tie, are not afraid of the truth, and are very very serious, unlike the Eloish Bitcoin Cult members who dance around like human cattle, barely able to speak their mother tongues and who sell delusion as hope.
Bitcoin core devs need to follow example of Satoshi, stay pseudonymous, so governments can't come after them and threaten imprisonment.
Another good one Brian. You keep rolling them off week after week. When we were at 15.5k in bear market, I regretted not selling abit at the top of last bull market. If I had more dry powder in bear market then I would have happily bought more at 15.5k.
Most likely I will sell very small amounts when I think we've hit the top or when I would like to have access to extra cash. If I don't spend the cash then I can just buy back in bear market. This strategy makes me feel reasonably happy.
I didn't have a problem hodling either (bought abit in 2018 and 2020) never sold any untill April this year needed some cash so sold abit.
I think people who struggle to hodl are those that don't understand bitcoin. Once you understand it, it's easy.
I would never sell all my bitcoin or even a large portion with the intention to buy back lower. Thats a dangerous game to play. I'm grateful I've been given this opportunity and I've spent the time to learn what bitcoin is. So I would never gamble what I'm fortunate enough to have. So many friends family I've tried to orange pill, but they won't give bitcoin the time of day. I'm glad I broke out of being a normie. 😌
We dont know when this supercycle will happen. I do believe we will have a supercycle eventually and break out of the 4 year cycle. Not sure if its this cycle or the next one. When it does happen I think we will all be be happy. 😊
Saylor's going to gaslight folks into believing that self custody is bad and we shouldn't continue improving the protocol because he wants you to buy $MSTR and regulated ETF products.

As I've been warning
Yeah, they didn't force people to hand over gold it was voluntary... they didn't force anyone to have covid jab, it was voluntary... ummm.
For the moment I say Michael Saylor trying play both sides.
😳
Yeah bitcoin best self defence.
Thats funny! 🤣 And very real.
Couldn't I send the following quote to the tax man
"Bitcoin has no intrinsic value! You can't tax something that has no intrinsic value!, it's worthless!"
The sources of the quotes are central banks, IMF, Bank of England, financial experts etc. that would work wouldn't it?
I wished I'd watched this one live Brian. I laughed when you called their comments stupid. Haha, absolutely correct. Why they picking on bitcoin? Go pick on apple. Go pick on Google or tesla, they also will go to zero if demand collapses. They picking on bitcoin because they are crapping their pants. Central banks are losing control. Its a great time to be alive and witness this transition of power from the select few to the individual. ✊
Nice triangle diagram, very nice visual representation to see what's happening. 👍

Great show Brian. I was telling my cousin £5k in 2015 would now be worth £1.5mill today. Crazy!
I will be joining you and packing my bags too, I've been considering it for some time now.
2017 bullrun repeated will be amazing 20X yeah man I can jam to that 🕺
