“Hindsight won’t help you, so don’t fall into that trap. Just because you know it now….. you didn’t know it before.” The experienced lady, providing advice to the mother and husband of the father and son who died in the Oceangate deep sea implosion. While a very different situation to the bitcoin you could have bought in 2020 or even November 2022, maybe sage advice to a newbie dealing with their own saltiness.

When Lisa Nandy MP speaks, I immediately reach in the opposite direction , you’re saying continuing to limp along in a bad direction with a divided government is the way forward? Marxist academic father would likely agree with you, communism is great, it just hasn’t been done right, yet.

Appreciate poor form with the cutting board, but not actually doing any cutting on it. Having a go at dry brining the brisket before slow roasting this afternoon, wondering if I have enough for 3 of us!!!! #beefstr Yorkshire pud mixture ready to go in the fridge!!! 🫡🙌

Monday looks like it’s going to be fun, US, Japan and UK gilts all going wild. Very little information seeming to come out of Japan, 🇯🇵 . Unsure if this will ultimately lead to something breaking immediately, but what are the major bond markets telling us? Yeah, these yields are pretty high, but “can you take me higher?” @Ben Justman🍷

Gm nostriches, chilling momentarily with #catstr and @TFTC before going once more into the breach and into the marking, chances I get it all finished tomorrow are improving (if I get cracking today). Interesting bbc article; Labour showing clearly that if you accept anyone willing to buy votes with promises or appeal to constituency demographics, in time, chips will be cashed and votes can’t be whipped. Compared to the previous pms, this time is different, Cameron introduced brexit and disagreements could not be settled and the old system changed. After this, serious leadership was needed, but added to this, the ability for parties to appeal to the demands and demographics of a rapid changing country (the Boris wave is coming home to roost), there won’t be the cohesion in the country or parliament to make the difficult decisions needed to sort this out. Making things go from bad to worse, Wes “so got bullied at school” Streting is now saying he’ll aim to get back into the carwreck that is Europe. Fml, British will be receiving a letter from the board of country namers informing us we no longer have the “Great”, and it might have replace that with “Shit”. One hopes that next time around (election wise), the traditionals of the country will take the stoics route and vote for the party willing to get the hard tasks done (and they deliver), and not simply rape the treasury and those with assets in the country. #coffeechain calling

When someone says “tax the rich”, I hear from the government; “you’ve demonstrated you can add value, but I have greater knowledge than you so I know how to spend it better than you” From those who voted for the government; “give us other people’s stuff you promised us to win our votes, because we’re not capable of adding value ourselves” South Africa’s currency and exchange act is this in blazen clarity, and terrifying disregard for the rule of law and democracy if this goes through without being presented to the parliament . In this case, those proposing the law just want your assets and to destroy their country., they are the worse people setting an example for the less honest and creative to have precedence to develop their own laws. The Netherlands are already going this route. Stay frosty out there, minimise exposure, increase your offline sats and spend some time prepping your “oh shit, it’s time to leave” plan. The wolf is not far from the door.

Things Are moving forward with the init deadline coming around on Monday. Terrifying times for our Bitcoin brothers in South Africa, charting a course to escape criminal mismanagement of a resource rich nation, and now they’ve messed up the physical assets and infrastructure, focusing their greedy eye of Sauron on our digital assets. @ODELL good lock Herrman and Carl https://fountain.fm/episode/Wa9gfPlJaO2TkObdFcOn

Gm nostriches, happy Saturday freaks, feeling a world better than last week, but also refuelling after #blooddonation97, no.100 should be coming up early next year., Neo_rr suggesting I’m the one (or helping neonatal babies). Grabbing a quiet moment in bed with #catstr, but knowing there is marking that I can get ahead on before others wake up…….. not the way I want to spend my Saturday, but better than having to bring it on holiday with me. Press up and #coffeechain shoulder get things moving.

It’s it not about what the world my throw at you, rather you ability to take that challenge, not be affected by it and move onto the next challenge. Everyday reading some more #meditations and everyday I’m upstanding my place in the world a little better. “Whenever you fret at your lot; things, in a sense, a destruction” book 5, verse 8.

Bitcoin; 10 minutes block times no good for buying coffee, I laugh at your 10 minutes and remind you about the Poisson’s disttibution!!!! 65 minutes and counting!!!

Gm nostriches, cracked the first third of the marking that needs to be done so head down for the next chunk today, with a break in the middle to give some blood. 🩸 After a week, #wifestr returns from albeint away with her siblings, kids alive, house in one piece, and washing mostly done, but that the same time, waiting to be told about “all the jobs that have left for me to be done”. Reading meditations certainly puts situations like this into perspective, we can appreciate the effort of others and embrace the tasks we benefit others by doing, or we can complain to the gods that the world is unfair. Deep breath. No #coffeechain this morning due to giving blood, kids in the process of getting sorted and final day of “dad rules” coming to an end. Happy Friday freaks. #catstr indifferent as I’m the one who always feeds her.

Great chat with @Eugene Jarecki on @CITADEL DISPATCH with @ODELL , such a great idea with @jack to get this movie out there and send a message that bitcoin gives power back to the people to share those more important messages…… hmmm, so tempted to see “Dug” on the list of producers. 🧐 https://fountain.fm/episode/lZHHSuH9fcYgq6bjab02

Gm nostriches, what does a government on the ropes need more than anything? Oh yeah, one of the primary architects for a lot of the problems telling everyone there is not need for “more chaos”. Good work “Rachel from Complaints”, parrot the lines you’ve been fed by “Sir Starmlin”.

Gm nostriches, happy Thursday, awake early, packed lunches sorted, #catstr fed, breakfast sorted for the eldest. Minimal fun today as marking of student work to be done, 9 completed already and targeting getting it done by next Tuesday, wish me luck. Couple of days old from Dom Frisby, British sovereign debt market breaking, my eyes have been open since 2022, so many people still targeting fiat values of assets (or pension promises, 🤦‍♂️) Uk public spending is £48k debt per house hold, they are frittering away your future and the value of any Stirling you have. Dom says hold gold, but I for one don’t want to have the treasure trove sitting in my house, and anything other than a Britannia in my hand isn’t worth half as much (also fyi, those bad boys are cap gains free atm). Rates staying high, yield curve control coming, political instability (bro, chaos and boring are different, but are both bad), can’t see how unemployment won’t sky rocket, even those with “safe jobs” are facing the axe and where exactly does a sociology PhD go after getting the sack? #catstr and #coffeechain keeping me calm, day ahead could be better, but getting the work done will always move things forward. Have a good one freaks.
