I’ve been a Fold customer since 2020 and am a tester for them. I’ve been begging for this card for years and I’m glad it’s on the way.

I get smarter every time I listen to Will. Would love to meet him at some point. I’m only a little into this episode and love hearing more of how their products come to life.

I’ve been waiting for a Fold credit card for ages and it’s finally here. Use my link to get on the waitlist. 2% bitcoin rewards on all purchases. Leggoooooo https://foldapp-staging.webflow.io/credit-card?r=G9N49

Always question people who are upset with how corruption is uncovered but not the corruption itself

Why do I have lots of notifications about getting new followers the past few weeks but my follower count hasn’t changed since I started to Primal? Previously used Damus

This was one of the best conversations I’ve seen in a while. Excellent job from both of you nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs

I think it speaks to the Bitcoin community that this is the No. 1 priority and not anything like a strategic bitcoin reserve

I’ve been to Steak n Shake once in my life. There is one immediately across the street from my gym I’ve gone to for over a decade. I’ve never been to that one. I will go now.

I want to be more intentional about where I spend my money and the signal I’m sending to the economy.

The space trilogy by CS Lewis is fantastic:

1. Out of the Silent Planet

2. Perelandra

3. That Hideous Strength

All three books have very distinct styles and can be read separately but are one narrative. That man could do it all and I believe he is on a short list as the best kind of the 20th century.

Admittedly, I really enjoyed this timely discussion with nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj.

Danny asks great questions, with intelligent follow-up points for clarification… and does both with a chill vibe.

The What Bitcoin Did podcast is in great hands! ⚡️

Very glad nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj brought back What Bitcoin Did. He’s doing a great job

Just got back from a social night with Cincinnati Bitcoin. We’re trying to get some steam with our group. We know there are more Bitcoiners in Cincinnati than our small group. What are some events or tactics that have worked for other meetup groups?

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.

I already keep my thermostat low but I went sub-60 after reading this.

I just watched nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m discuss Nostr at Bitcoin Atlantis. Going to try to start actually using it. I get the overall concept, but it hasn’t sunk in for me to have strong feelings for it. Might be that I’ve basically left Twitter/X for a few years. Became my least favorite social media platform
