This is why we Bitcoin 👏

Thinking back on 2025

Probably one of the worst years I've had

Scratch that

It was, by far, the worst year of my life

*Covid was bad but it ended up being a blessing in disguise

However, this year gave me the opportunity to practice skills that will serve me well for the rest of my time here on earth - stoicism, gratitude, and discipline

I've also been thinking about how lucky I am to do what I do every day

I'm not sure how many other Bitcoin channels are 100% value for value - you could probably count them on one hand

And it's pretty fuckin cool that I'm in that company

I still have some adsense money from YouTube but it barely covers my internet bill each month. Fuck YouTube

I believe integrity is the greatest asset one can hold in life - far better than Bitcoin

And taking the V4V route allows me to speak the truth I believe in without any outside influence

Side note: I will be doing a V4V promotional segment every morning on show featuring Bitcoin/Nostr businesses starting next week!

This is a win-win-win in my eyes. Let me explain:

WIN 1 - the Bitcoin/Nostr businesses that can promote their product or service without an upfront payment (or any payment at all)

*it will be 100% success-based

WIN 2 - the community can discover new products and services being made in a low time preference world

In addition, they will be able to grow their own network and move further away from the fiat banking system

WIN 3 - I'm able to maintain my own voice without reliance on sponsors

Win-win-win is best case Ontario

Anyways, the reason for this post.

Most people don’t reject Bitcoin because it’s too risky.

They reject it because it forces them to reexamine everything.

And that hurts.

"Bitcoin has peaked and Gold is coming back as a world reserve asset."

=

"The computer is going nowhere and everyone will use the abacus forever."

Is there a greater gift on Nostr than that of the zap? Not a chance! Every comment receives a zap back! To the season for giving. #ZapBack #ChristmasZaps

#Weeeeeeeeeeee

😂 They do that because the platforms they use reward it. The platforms reward it because it drives ad revenue, which the creators then share in. It’s a cycle that turns user attention into a currency as creators focus on making content that the platforms reward. Nostr breaks the cycle so creators can focus on making content for people, but it requires that reciprocal engagement via reposts/zaps/replies. “Likes” are worthless.

I went out today to run some errands. Im taking a trip soon so I needed some small items to stuff into my carry on.

The store and its buzzing with people running around shopping for groceries, gifts and everything in between.

Walking about to find what I needed, I stopped at one point and thought to myself, wow everyone seems to be in a rush or in their own little world going about their day, that nobody seemed to recognize I was wearing a #WARAB Bitcoin hoodie.

Not that I need any attention but what happened to people's curiosity? What happened to slowing down and taking in your environment? Being observant and courteous?

One employee damn near pushed over an old lady with a walker trying to get through the crowd to go do nothing of importance.

Lots of zombies walking around nowadays. Fiat money affects people on so many different levels but its difficult to see this if your looking through the wrong lens.

Either that or my clock seems to be moving a bit slower than everyone else's. One of the perks of adopting on the hard money standard!

Stay humble, keep stacking, live life!

Remember

What other people think of you

Is none of your business

Good morning 🧡

Green energy adoption? Why would anyone use the most expensive kind of electricity for any high-energy, quasi-industrial concern like hashing?

Other than that, yes it's a tragedy, and yes, more decentralization is more better.

Don’t tell me the price is dipping for a nostr:nprofile1qqs8cajagp7n48275ytuhzuxn93g2crc0lqgfgx8dta2gjdlh5fpmpqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgdwaehxw309a38yc3wd9hj7sg4ksy stream DSA. How does he do it??

We completed our prototype and are working on final design. Here is a messy pic here of the prototype w the hot tub temp and wattage & hashrate of the miner.

Sometimes you’ve gotta pause and ask yourself: where does max pain really sit? Higher or lower?

I keep coming back to the same conclusion: it’s almost always higher. Bitcoin rising hurts far more people than it helps, because most only feel the sting when they’re on the outside looking in. A real bitcoiner doesn’t suffer on the dips; they sharpen their conviction on them. Drawdowns don’t wound you when your mindset is accumulation; they provoke you to act, to build, to stack with intention.

Panic isn’t truly painful in the moment. The real pain shows up later: when price recovers, when the candles go vertical, when regret finally settles in. Max pain isn’t the dip. Max pain is watching the recovery without a seat at the table.

What’s the point if you have to use ur name and tax id to store bitcoin ?

How do you feel about borrowing against your bitcoin?

I’ve avoided it, not out of ignorance, but out of respect for the one thing I refuse to lose: my stack. The idea of watching it evaporate in a liquidation or getting rugged has always felt like the darkest timeline.

The more I study it, the more the logic shifts. As a bitcoiner, a bitcoin backed loan makes more philosophical and financial sense than chasing some fiat lender’s approval. Still, if I can’t responsibly borrow against my stack to buy whatever I’ve got my eyes on, that might be the signal, not to overreach, but to stack harder and lower my time preference until I can. That discipline is probably better for my character than the purchase itself.

The truth is: the longer I wait, the better the terms will likely become. Bitcoin hardens, markets mature, and the rates offered to strong hands will dwarf what a bank would give me today. There’s risk, of course. I’d never use a loan as leverage to stack more corn: that’s how people get chewed up…but as a tool? Used sparingly? For the rare opportunity that would be lost without it, or to bridge a gap in living standards without cannibalizing my stack? That starts to feel realistic.

I don’t ever want to sell my corn when I could borrow against it at a cheaper cost than any fiat loan. In the right hands, bitcoin lets you stack your sats and, slowly, carefully, eat from the tree you planted without chopping it down.

This is the stay humble part of "stay humble, stack sats."

Anyone else realizing they weren't being super humble? 😆😅

HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT NEWS I FUCKING LOVED VINE

I remember at the time Vine came out, Instagram still didn’t have video, only photos (I know this will bake the noodles of Gen Z but it is true).

Vine blew up in a massive way, and Instagram added video shortly after in response. I even dug up the meme I posted about this from deep in the archives…

Anyway, super stoked about diVine because what made Vine so great was the limiting nature of the content generation. When your options are restricted, it forces you to get really creative.

Kudos to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for funding this — can’t wait to use it.

Ever wonder how many Bitcoin you need to retire on?

This calculator that a contributor to pleb tools created allows you to create scenarios based on Bitcoins price on retirement, Annual gain of Bitcoin, annual cost of living increase, and how much bitcoin you would like to pass on.

It then tells you how many Bitcoin you would need.

Was quoted 14k for my side yard project. No thanks. I’ll do the work.

Grass ripped out, inserted bark, planted Red Baron Peach tree and much more to come. Just do the work yourself. This is not my trade, but I’ll figure it out.

🚨 BREAKING: NASA confirms astronomers’ discovery of quasi-moon 2025 PN7—a 62-foot asteroid orbiting in sync with Earth since the 1960s, set to remain our temporary cosmic companion until 2083. No risk to Earth, per experts. #NASA #Astronomy

On that time scale he's not wrong 😂

Let gold have it's moment, it is the old system that people will run to while the elites sail off into the sun in their orange yachts.

So long and thanks for all the karats 🫡
