Bitcoin is dumping because penis

I have a feeling I'll be ghosting a lot of friends in the coming years. Spending time around bitcoiners makes me question old friendships. I have friends I've known for 20+ years who haven't offered any real value in a long time. That sounds awful to say, but they are so caught up in their dead end jobs and other bullshit. No care for anything else. They think the MSM and government are the best sources of truth. No interest in growing, or in self reflection. Any attempt at deep, meaningful conversation basically turn into the "That's crazy. Catch the game last night?" meme. It's frustrating. I'm still processing my feelings on this. I haven't had a close "crew" of buddies since high school. Even that was superficial. I've always been that guy people hang out with, but never a part of the "inner circle" or whatever. I'm not saying this to garner empathy. I'm the complete opposite of depressed, and I don't stay up at night wishing I was one of the cool kids. I like having a close family, a wife that's my best friend, and a couple others I can talk to about anything and everything in a meaningful way. I'm just wondering if it's time to drop some baggage. Nostr is a great place for long-ish form writing. I love privacy, but I also love sharing the human experience. I spent the first 30 years of life keeping everything bottled up inside. Never going back to that.

I spend weeks after a Beefsteak disappointed at my own steak preparation skills.

This year's Beefsteak hat is a masterpiece. @awayslice is truly an artist, both in and out of the kitchen.

What an incredible week! I feel so loved & appreciated amongst bitcoiners. I have immense respect for so many of you. To get a little of that back means a lot. I walk away from these events feeling blessed. 🧡 I lived a vastly different life before all this. I always felt trapped, whether it was public school, or the soul crushing 9-5 grind that I did all through my 20s. Bitcoin changed everything. My family is Greek. We show love through proof of work in the kitchen. To share tiny pieces of that with so many is my way of saying thank you for being you. Thank you for your positivity in this world. For standing up for what you believe in. For not only caring about future generations, but for actually doing something about it! My wife has been around Bitcoin as long as I have, but this was the first conference for my mom & daughters. It's one thing to hear me talk about this part of my life, but it's a different thing entirely for them to experience it. They know me better after this past week. I highly recommend bringing your family if you have the opportunity! You all encourage me to be a better human today than I was yesterday. Thank you for that. 🙏 Thanks to David, Mike, and the entire Bitcoin Magazine staff for putting this together. You guys did an incredible job. My family is already talking about Vegas next year, so I guess you can expect all of us to be there! 😂

Uber driver asked if it's too late to buy Bitcoin. I asked him if he thinks his dollars are going to buy more or less in the next 5 years. He said he'll start DCA'ing. 💪

MONDAY NIGHT NASHVILLE PEEPS! Let's meet up! Greko Greek Street Food 704 Main St, Nashville, TN 37206 7 PM Open to anyone interested, but I'm also happy to eat octopus souvlaki by myself. 😄

Stacking sats is easy. Staying humble is the hard part.

I made some baklava for Nashville

My mom & my twin daughters will be in Nashville next week for the conference. It's going to be fun showing them this side of my life. 😆

The thing I hate most about Nostr is now I can't successfully turn down tips for free baklava, since people can zap me.

Things are bad. They're going to get worse. Stack Bitcoin. Take care of your health, your friends, and your family. Protect your loved ones. There's still hope for the world.
