Over my dead body will the U.S. government buy xrp with my fucking tax dollars lol gtfoh

There’s not a world in which I will ever ever ever let that happen.

NEVER EVER

DO YOU FUCKING HEAR ME?

NEVER.

The easiest way to tell if someone doesn’t have a bag is if they are not happy about when it pumps and what their short term predictions are

"Every pubkey must be able to receive money."

I used to suppress everything.

Felt like I had to in order to survive.

Parents didn’t care, friends didn’t care, girlfriends didn’t care.

Everyone was happy with me being a suppressed version of myself.

It was working for them and probably for me too.

One day it stopped working.

It became painful to be who I was “supposed” to be.

So I stopped suppressing things.

I started saying everything out loud.

This pissed a lot of people off.

The world shifted around me.

I lost relationships.

I made new ones.

People who respected me for who I actually was, not just who I was pretending to be.

Life is so much better now.

But it was painful for awhile.

My advice?

Break free.

That shits gonna stop working for you sooner or later.

Might as well be who you were meant to be.

GM. We are safe, but hard to watch our county burn down and friends lose homes.

Bitcoin always takes the path of most pain

Embrace it

A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.

In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.

I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.

I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.

I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.

So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they didn’t understand bitcoin or the market or even basic budgeting.

When people would make fun of me I would tell them why I was doing what I was doing. Then I would start peppering them with questions about their financial life.

“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”

“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”

People would generally go from laughing at me riding the moped to feeling shell shocked by me popping their bubble of comfortable delusion.

Still I drove the moped and everyone thought I was being weird and ridiculous and silly etc…

At 100k that decision was worth a million dollars.

At a million it will have been worth 10 million.

And at 10 million it will have been a nine figure decision.

100 million dollars.

I only rode the stupid moped for 8 months.

Ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for 10 million in the future?

Because there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.

My advice is to have your own moped moment.

Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.

I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

There are more crypto scammers on Bluesky than on Nostr. We're losing, boys.

BITWISE IS LAUNCHING AN ETF THAT BUYS SHARES IN COMPANIES THAT BUY BITCOIN BECAUSE STAYING HUMBLE AND STACKING SATS IS TOO COMPLICATED FOR SUITS.

It’s impossible for me to give a fuck about anyone’s opinion on something where they have no skin in the game.

Literally a worthless opinion.

lol warning “influencers” in bitcoin may appear dumber than they actually are 😂 nostr:note1jrlm5yhpnn8xyu59j6scr4gr9du80gwwfkgqw4t200hhmnnwxmqsynxt4r

I don’t talk about it much but I’m actually rekt on Bitcoin.

HORRIBLE ADVICE.

LEARN HOW TO HOLD BITCOIN SECURELY YOURSELF.

I RECOMMEND BITKEY FOR NON TECHNICAL USERS. COLDCARD FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

SELF CUSTODY IS EASIER THAN DRIVING A CAR OR RAISING A KID.

NO EXCUSES. FIGURE IT OUT OR REGRET IT LATER.

There will be signs

We must be in a bull market, because I once again find myself here.
