Seeing nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 admit to being shadow banned on YT makes me so frustrated

Years of hard work

To then get messed around by the very platform that you put all that energy into

Fingers crossed it gets resolved

BUT

It's also an amazing advert for the benefits of Nostr

Why are there digital gatekeepers? People playing god with what can and cannot be said...

This is a very real problem

With Nostr it might well be solved

Whilst as a capitalist it makes we want to double down on Nostr

YT is a miss-allocation

Indeed X, IG, TikTok et al

They're all a miss-allocation of capital once their guardians decide you're no longer fit for purpose

Nostr enables a superior form of digital property right, and for that reason, it's an incredible new tool for the individual innovator

Very excited to see what happens when talented men just like nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 no longer build on quicksand...

From Oct 2021 to July 2023 my net assets dropped by 25% in value

It was horrible

Having to go to your wife and admit you'd f*cked up

I'd made a series of investment mistakes...

First off, I had 2 real estate investments, that I was struggling to sell. No-one wanted to buy them!

So what do you do?

Sell at a loss?

Or sit and hold... Then hope that you start to make your money back?

Essentially I had assets on my balance sheet that were over-valued.

To amp things up even more, I one day realised I'd made an accounting error, converting GBP to AUD on an equity position that was wrong

F*ck!

Anyways, 25% less wealth than you though is not your everyday, "oops I've lost my wallet"

Thankfully I was running headlong down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole, so I made a big call, and decided to re-allocate

I've also since put in place a superior accounting process that I share with my wife weekly

We have far better transparency together on what we own, our expenses, and therefore our savings

Why tell this?

Well I am so grateful to have made those mistakes

Today we're circa 60% better off (in $ terms) to Oct 2023

A win

Which as someone who is very bad at saying well done to themself, I wanted to make public like this, to say so myself

What a time to be alive

Sending good vibes all!

So sorry to hear that Ben. So much hard work has gone into that. Any hope of getting it reversed?

Afraid to say but with Bitcoin and content it's only a matter of time that status quo platforms do this

"Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach"

Very interested to see what alternative solution you come up with... Nostr is too early to give you reach, but you should find the other 2

I am so grateful:

- to be in a loving relationship

- to be a father

- to be close with my mother and siblings

- to live in a beautiful place

- to have ideas

- to have friends

- for being creative

- to be able to "hone my craft"

Note to self: please practice this type of thinking more often Jake! Far too harsh to oneself

For those that had a large exposure to Bitcoin in December of 2023, they're 11 months into that trade, & will be VERY pleased with results thus far

I wonder what another 12 months will do....

Just read that Trump, if elected, would like to abolish income tax in the US

Surely there's some devil in the detail

But wow, wouldn't that be an interesting bit of geopolitical game theory to watch play out

Get after it!

The game theory for adoption from the wealthy is increadible to watch

Plus they often sit in places of huge influence, which I think dampens the main regulatory risk

Love it

BULLISH

AUD ATH in BTC taken... Higher highs inbound

BITCOIN IS "SURGING"

Hold on tight...

How do I buy a copy?

Venice can still be a usefull tool of wanting an AI though? Better than others? They all seem scammy to an extent...

Thanks for sharing this. All the AI tools seem to a scam in that I as a user am the product to some extent... Ie the info I give it feeds the fire

Good to try new things

Venice didn't try sell me a token and accepted BTC payment if I'd signed up so didn't seem too bad

There's a bunch I've enjoyed over the years. X might be easier to find them

Admittedly some are Brits, Safrs, in Australia...

Had my Mum visit on a last minute trip

What a mission from UK to Australia!

So good though

Meeting her Grandson for the first time

And hanging out with her Grand-daughters

Classic to watch

Family really is the best

Sending good vibes all

Thanks Moel. That's a much better explanation. Point is you under-valued Bitcoin at important times...

I purchased a 40 year old classic Mercedes in early 2018 with my converted Bitcoin Cash tokens...

A piece of scrap metal... Which I sold a few months later for cash... Would now be 100s of thousands!

Sometimes it's easier not to...

I am sorry to hear that. Rough ride. Everything is a tuition fee en route to Bitcoin in my experience

At least now you have a firm base to build from for the the rest of your life

The reason I am even looking at this is because I do believe it has the potential to outpace BTC
