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.

Got diabetes: take metformin

Got high blood pressure: take an ace inhibitor

Got depression: take an SSRI

Got obesity: take Ozempic

Got inflammation: take Celebrex

Or just eat some damn steak.

Being able to lay down on an airplane is one of life’s great luxuries.

Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers.

On Jan 1, 2010, there were 1,624,000 bitcoin in circulation trading at around $0.001 each. The total market capitalization of bitcoin was ~$1,624.

On Dec 31, 2024, there were 19.803 million bitcoin trading at around $93,389 each, for a total market capitalization of $1.85 trillion.

In total over the 15 years, the size of bitcoin cash balances has increased by 110,400,000,000,000%, or around 110 billion percent.

If, during the next 15 years, bitcoin grows at only 1 ten millionth of its growth rate over the last 15 years, it grows to a total market cap of around $210 trillion, making it larger than all the world's fiat currencies and government bonds combined.

In such a world, a government may be able to keep its shitcoin alive if it doesn't inflate its supply too much (a big if, and an even bigger may). Whether they do or do not is largely inconsequential, because either way, inflation won't be able to touch the majority of the world's wealth.

Any bitcoin bearish thesis needs to present a coherent explanation for why bitcoin's next 15 years are going to have a growth rate that is significantly lower than a ten millionth of the rate of the past 15 years. Don't expect to hear one from people who get paid from the inflation bitcoin will kill.

Happy 2025!

Fiat is over if you want it!

I once had a family member describe my life as a tragedy.

I was like no bitch my life is a triumph.

We never spoke again.

The world has gone mad. Praying for peace.

Nostr, like Bitcoin, only needs to survive as the other centralized competitors blow themselves up over time.
