I heard Saifedean on a CarnivoreMD podcast...then Breedlove...then went down the Breedlove/Saylor rabbit hole while reading the Bitcoin Standard. Felt like I jumped straight to the "Bitcoin is going to set everyone free" in about 40 hours of study from the perfect sources, at the perfect time.

Interesting - I chose to semi-retire at 50, so got the numbers working in my favor. And honestly thought my job was killing me (because of my Type-A personality that I struggle with even today). I'm still planning on living to over 100, though! 😉 And teaching tennis - mostly to a bunch of juniors that want to run me all over the court - should keep me young for awhile.

I enjoyed @Jeff Booth perspective here - hard to understand when 1) measuring/evaluating from the “current system perspective, and 2) nothing like this in the history books. I also like how he explains the repeating cycle of debasement/reset…including the need for “in-state” and “out-of-state” enemies at different points in this repeating cycle.

I liked several of the #memes in Robert Malone's Sunday Strip this week...

Sunday Strip: We're All Far Right Now.

Keeping the species going for "millions" of years.

Maybe stick to the butter, lard, tallow, ghee, etc? Stay away from all vegetable/canola/sunflower and other seed oils? Because overlay this chart with charts of obesity and chronic diseases, cancers, and cardiac events over the years!

This sucks - my Millennial kids managed to get a house, but the generation is screwed. And I already have grandkids (oldest is 11) and they will have an even greater disparity.

Smoked some lamb shoulder for 8 hours today - we loved that herb crust! #biggreenegg #smokercooking

Break the trend…or die young with the last several years/decades of your life compromised and medicated. The solution does not come in a pill or in boxes with long ingredient lists. Whole food, move a little daily, get good sleep and step away from devices more during the day.

Since I stack sats, versus spend them, I keep very small balances in Lightning wallets...a BlueWallet that I use to zap on nostr and a Muun wallet for transacting with other bitcoiners in person (I used this one at Pacific Bitcoin). I'm interested in moving off of at least Muun, but what's the latest reviews/recommendations on mobile Lightning wallets...particularly: - Aqua (handles Lightning, on-chain, and Liquid...if I ever decided that was of interest) - Phoenix - Mutiny - BlueWallet (old, familiar standby that I also used for watch-only with ColdCard before moving to Sparrow) #asknostr #wallet #lightning

==== Leaving many of these depopulated towns essentially a crossroads with nothing but a gas station, a McDonald's, and a WalMart -- chain stores big enough to digest regulations that would bankrupt a family business. ... The solution to the decline of farming is as easy as it is in manufacturing: Get rid of the mandates, the regulations, and taxes on especially small business. ====

America's Farms are Getting Wiped Out

If you dream of escaping the cubicle and starting a farm, new data says America's farmers are getting wiped out.

I have my work cut out for me to get to my Weber grill and #biggreenegg this weekend - I was thinking of smoking a lamb shoulder!! Biggest #snow of the season in #denver

Bitcoin "is not digital currency, it is digital property" ~ via Saylor...who did another excellent interview dealing out truth.

"hardship withdrawals from 401k retirement accounts just hit a fresh record in yet another Biden miracle...nearly 40% of those who took a hardship distribution did it to avoid foreclosure" I don't see THAT getting any better with pending layoffs and another inflation run!!

Biden "told us even the cookie monster noticed...which was probably a joke, but it is hard to know because Joe Biden hallucinates". Gotta love that St Onge humor...

Nice summary read - and reminder - that many groups seek to manipulate and control...and are actively (and successfully?) pursuing population control.

The Answer to Population Control.

Hidden in plain sight.

Not a particular MAGA fan, but agree with voting for these issues…and NOT voting for Biden. Wish RFKJr had a chance…and think he would see reason with the 2nd amendment. View quoted note →

Again, Dante Cook's (Swan) Bitcoin Daily Youtube videos are a near daily routine for me. Such a concise presentation of charts, macroeconomics...with some great occasional sports references.

I think sending this podcast to nocoiners, and actually have them start around the 59:50 mark (the Lightning round of questions). Again, when I first PAID ATTENTION to #bitcoin (I heard about it in 2014), it was because I listened to Saifedean as a guest on Paul Salidino's podcast. That then led me to the Bitcoin Standard and finding the Saylor series on What is Money. Those first few tools finally gave the foundation of BELIEF and CONVICTION in #bitcoin that have led to 1000's of hours of reading/podcasts...and buying all the way down in 2022 and still stacking.

I need some advice because it seems I'm on the wrong side of an "unauthorized use of image" case...and they are expecting damages to be paid. Firstly, this "unauthorized" use was unintentional. Basically, I thought I had satisfied the requirements by both crediting the content creator by name (in this case, for a stock image off of Flickr) as well as providing a hyperlink to the original content in a LinkedIn article I wrote in January 2016. The image URL itself, in the post, just referenced a LinkedIn location. Secondly, is it possible for the person to change the rights and I could verify that? If I look at the original content on Flickr, it now says "All Rights Reserved". My issue is that I intentionally NEVER used those types of images. I used Wikipedia Commons, Pixabay, and all image searches were for either Free Images or perhaps "Some Rights Reserved" that allowed me to give proper attribution. These posts were all written for my employer, but under my LinkedIn ID, so I didn't have a budget to purchase any images. In all cases, I credited the original creator as well as provide a link to the original content. So, over 8 years after writing this post, I get a letter from a Pixsy Case Management saying "pay up or we send you to the attorneys for the maximum prosecution/penalty under the law"...for an image that has been viewed 3,500 times at its original location. Price to make this go away...about $1,000. That seems pretty punitive, for my very small reading audience in 2016 and the number of views that image received cumulatively since its existence in 2010. Even though I thought I was following the rules with credit/attribution/link to original content, I'm willing to pony up and pay if that is what I need to do. But is it worth pursuing to get a compromised price settlement? I don't want to fight this, get found in the wrong because I missed some small step like linking to the actual Copyright Law, and then have to pay MORE out of pocket. Thanks for any advice...thought I had checked the boxes - guess I shouud have stuck to analytics, software development, and running other consultants versus content creation. Side note - kind of handy that #bitcoin is going parabolic. Of course, I'm still not selling the bitcoin. I'll pay from savings or do the Michael Saylor method of using an equity line at 6.99% to have more funds available for bitcoin to go to ∞. #asknostr

I get annoyed with how often RFKJr "leads" with footage of his father/uncle versus himself and his views. Having said that, I've appreciated his honesty and going against the establishment for years now. He basically made most moves/statements that aligned more with career suicide than climbing the political chain. I also disagree with him on some topics - like fossil fuels, nuclear, and 2nd amendment/gun rights. But I'd easily vote for him over the other two candidates if I thought he had a legit chance of winning. I was hoping he and Trump would have done some Art of the Deal to combine tickets. Because my biggest fear in voting for him isn't in losing...it's in somehow taking a vote away from Trump and giving Biden and the extreme Left an advantage. I enjoyed RFKJr's SOTU video...
