Work hard so you can have good food (or whatever other consumption you value) now **with savings left over**
Use the savings to eventually ensure you can always eat good food (or have whatever else you wish to consune) even after you work, until you pass away.
Don't harm anyone in the process, it's not necessary for success
Horror plot twist: proprietary AI has been selecting juries for years
Bitcoin is a limited currency/transactional cash
Bitcoin is a great money/value-storage cache
Funny how written & spoken language diverge when we don't have time and make eye contact during a dialogue 😉
Cache, storage, transaction, value, spend, the other cash, deliberate
I think that's as compressed as I can make it
It's right there in the name, peer to peer electronic cash. A cache of munitions, of data, of jewelry isn't meant to convey transactionality, but rather storage
Deliberation about spending is a function of time, so storage is IMO more important than transactionality.
Nah we run a profitable household, we just spend the weaker money like fiat currencies, ecash, monero from what we earn first and then don't spend (ie. save) the rest in the stronger money (you know the one..)
Garbage is a terrible costly money, but like any commodity it technically works. Nevertheless, I don't let it pile up in my home. I'm not an anti seller of homes though! We just dispose of other things first 😉
The bigger challenfe isn't folks who don't care abo&t you, it's the ones who care so much about you that they relentlessly try to fix you, despite understanding the core nature of your and their lives completely backwards
BTMs plus a self custodial wallet of your choice is simple and quick to startup (Cake, Bluewallet, Green, Aqua, Mutiny to name a few of many)
Or nostr:npub1sqn6rpml88nq8khuvvneuqztfmvalpsarr8grkwy837hzdw63ajs6t5net or Robosats might match you with a sellers bank account you can just deposit paychecks into (semi-trusted counterparty deal)
Or go straight to timelocked multisig cold savings for now with a test UTXO, figure out the weekly expense wallet later. Periodically reuse the test UTXO to test the wallet with a self transfer each year or whatever
If the kid is working legally in a fiat jurisdiction, they're already effevtively KYCd, and doing this won't hide the fact that the checks are likely going into bitcoin, but immediately cashing out to self custody what doesn't need to be in a bank is a great habit!
For half of your life, you have most of your life ahead of you
Live for the moment, but spare some moments to plan for the future
Masochist lol.. you're using devices that let you even try to verbalize the bash language, they can do a lot more a lot easier than that! 🤣
I get frustrated when I try to practice olympic ice hockey on public sidewalks too 🤝
The silence from intelligence agencies around the world is deafening though, so I'm not convinced satoshi is as anonymous as the mythology suggests
Email alias, po box, and prepaid card
I like to ask them to imagine a society where everyone knew how much money everyone else got paid with full transparency. Normie brains can't handle that kind of thought experiment 🤣
American politics is weird and broken. We have a system that, by design, is a duopoly. If a new party emerges, it either dies or replaces one of the existing ones. Because of that, we end up with these big tents containing lots of different constituencies and contradictory coalitions.
Take, for example, how conservative black evangelicals are pro-family, pro-life, and pro-business, but most vote Democrat because they’re turned off by Republican racism. Or consider gay Republicans like Peter Thiel, who vote in their economic interests despite it being against their safety and the advancement of the gay community.
There are many ways in which a two-party system doesn't make sense. I’ve lived in two countries with proportional representation, Uruguay and New Zealand. Both have much more stable politics and better systems of coalition-building and compromise. They’re smaller, too, but you can see the US system broken at a state level where the numbers can be similar to those in Uruguay and New Zealand.
Forcing everyone to fit their values and political aspirations into a single party is a mess.
What’s interesting is that as the US becomes more partisan, party members are more likely to adopt the party’s platform, even if it would otherwise not be in their personal or community interest. Only a small and shrinking number of true independents can focus on issues across parties.

But like how many mining pools are there?
