November marks 13 years since I began my #Bitcoin journey. I'm still amazed at how far we've come in such a short period of time! Pace yourself. Stay humble. Keep learning, especially from your mistakes. That's the best advice I can offer. Here's to the next 13 years. ✌️

We love to joke about being autistic bitcoiners, but this is a very real thing for some of us. Being a bitcoiner who has never read the white paper is an example of this. I love learning, especially on my own, but the hardest way for me to learn is through a technical piece of writing. It doesn't matter how "easy" it is for *you* to understand. It's never easy when you're actually autistic. And yet, I started to grasp bitcoin by early 2012, after a few months of using it. I tried reading the white paper a few times during those early months, but it didn't make sense. So I gave up and went back to using bitcoin, earning bitcoin, and talking about bitcoin. THAT made sense. The white paper is a very important part of bitcoin history, worthy of celebrating. I have it hanging on my wall. Maybe one day I'll read it. Probably not.

I still haven't read the #Bitcoin white paper. 😂

I've been working with a trainer since the end of June, with the goal of reducing body fat, and I've been doing exactly what he wants me to do. I've cut calories, introduced 60g of carbs pre-workout, and stick to a regular workout routine. I had plateaued on training myself a long ago, so I was willing to listen to a pro. Nothing to lose! For the first couple months the only carbs I ate were in the form of fruit & yogurt, pre-workout. As time went on I started feeling tired. My days were basically workout, walk 20k steps, eat my meals, and sleep. It felt like a full time job, and I constantly felt tired and irritable. It was frustrating after 5+ years of feeling fantastic on the carnivore diet while eating at a maintenance level. But hey, you're going to feel crappy on a cut! That's what I told myself. I was making great progress, but I realized I wasn't getting enough fat to sustain my energy levels. It's just not possible while cutting calories and eating *some* carbs. So I admitted it was time to up the carbs and further reduce my fat intake. I see this as a temporary thing, of course. The goal is to get my body fat down to the 10-12% range, and then build upon that. A couple weeks ago I added more carbs pre-workout, and introduced carbs after workout. There was a big adjustment period afterwards, with body weight going up from glycogen & water retention. But over time, I started feeling MUCH better. Daily tasks felt easier, working out felt really good. I could feel myself getting stronger. Today it's a huge difference. I'm currently eating 1895 calories per day, 160g of that as carbs, walking 20-25k steps per day (I like to walk!), and I feel fantastic. I've demonized carbs in the past, mostly due to my own addiction. Obesity plagued my life through my teens and twenties. Switching to low carb in my early 30s was exactly what I needed. With time I've developed incredible eating habits and strong willpower. What I've been learning about myself is that I'm completely in control of what I eat, and more importantly, how much I eat. Not once during this entire training journey have I had a cheat day or gone over on calories. Even on vacations! If you've ever struggled with eating, then you'll understand how powerful this is. All that said, I miss the carnivore diet. The simplicity of it. Eating fatty meats, butter, eggs, etc. A huge part of me wants to go back to carnivore at some point, but I can't really think about that yet. I still have goals to reach, and I'll continue to do what my body tells me is working. Right now, that means eating a lot of carbs!

Cool Q case!

The 14 #Bitcoin I earned selling a pan of baklava 13 years ago is now worth $1M+

We're going to free Ross Ulbricht ✌️

Voting is probably rigged, and my voice is meaningless on the national level. But I'll reluctantly vote Trump, for Ross Ulbricht's chance at freedom. He needs to come home.

The idolization of Michael Saylor by bitcoiners is one of the grossest cases of hero worship I've ever seen in Bitcoin. His latest statements on self custody & "crypto anarchists" are atrocious.

$100k #Bitcoin by 11:59PM Dec 31, 2024

You don't have covid, you have a cold. You're gonna be fine.

The cool thing about the $58k gang is that we easily transform into the $69k gang.

The real point of $58k gang isn't to be bearish. Not at all! Some of us have been around too long. So we create a meme to convince ourselves that the price will remain the same forever. Then when it doesn't we get that green candle high again! It's fucking degenerate & beautiful.

No one really knows if this is the end of the $58k era for #Bitcoin. We had a lot of fun either way. Price predictions are retarded, but so am I. Sarcasm aside, I still believe $100k is in play for 2024.

Anyone want to start a podcast where we talk about a world where Bitcoin is forever $58k?

It's amazing that, to this day, Mike Caldwell is still the most trusted name in #Bitcoin.

Weird random confession that only Australians will understand: Missy Higgins is my favorite female vocalist ever, and it's not even close.

Good bye forever* $58k #Bitcoin 👋 (*Forever subject to change)

I can't imagine being in my 40s and still not being a dad. It's the best thing ever. I'd probably be a hopeless nihilist. Fuck that shit.
