Western Bitcoiners of the past handful of years are… ….just… ….now… literally waking up to the Eastern(tm) markets. Bitcoin 24/7 is in no way priced in.

If you had to name 5 places on earth where Fiat Devs really wanted to take ownership…. BUT where indiginous/local plebs were entrenched and WOULD NOT give up their hodlings, no matter what. What would they be? Obviously that’s a global question best crowd-sourced. But I’d offer as a conversation starter: New Orleans Lahaina Palisades? Gaza? There have got to be others, I’m just throwing this out as a conversation starter, if you will.

Will we soon start hearing that “US Bonds are too volatile for sophisticated investors”?

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ EIA-reported Crude Oil stockpiles in the US rose unexpectedly for the 4th week, sending prices lower in kilosats as demand fears abate. WTI Crude plunges to 56,524 sats/barrel. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

Twitter has gone full-Reddit lately. @ODELL was right, if early. I think I’ll vacation to full Nostr now. The noise there has no Signal any longer. Nothing happening to navigate by. Evidently Bitcoin Maxis are turned against each other? It all seems fake, kayfabe. Time to just enjoy summer, stack sats, and chill.

Because “taxation” = “masks” for all monetary “pandemic” response. nostr:note1wtd5ep083epjkwefz4yxf87zgus80ut3r2j9cepgxnk369vy8wasewuyuq

IMO, the role of Bitcoin Core Devs is not to rush into the Front Lines and fight the battle. Let the hardened social media Maxis fight the battle. Your job is to inspire and maintain our confidence. If you quit listening to us, and abuse our confidence, you will become irrelevant and we will Ossify you. Stay humble and vibe code. This is the most important Money the Human Race has ever known. Don’t sit at the children’s table.

IF this chart has any veracity, even +/- 20% or so, it’s fascinating to study. It’s like a single-frame movie of the last 20 years. And we’re in Act 5. nostr:note1zqsd6zg0k7527de6mdqqjgpjj85h4laa7fsvm2344zvg5m0j8ppqgh0yew

Today’s Bitcoin pump brought to you by: My 33-yo truck died on me a few days ago. I went new-used car shopping yesterday. Found my new vehicle, decided on a substantial downpayment to keep monthly costs minimal. Sold BTC last night for the downpayment…. No. Please. Your applause isn’t necessary. But thank you.

We have a Wolf and a Sheep inside of us. Being Human means shepherding both, so that neither loses its Grace.

👀 Wowza. This is the kind of thing heads of credit agencies lose their jobs over… https://finance.yahoo.com/news/moodys-downgrades-us-aa1-rating-204908886.html

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ Oil regains some ground on US/Iran detente. WTI Crude holds cruising altitude this Friday, 60,066 sats per barrel. Steak n Shake could not be reached for comment. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

Looking for help getting 4,000 sats off of a Blue Wallet that was connected to my node before my node died. I have a new node, but my phone wallet can’t seem to connect the previous Blue Wallet to it. [obviously this isn’t something to spend any time on whatsoever, just asking to let users know Blue Wallet is worthless if it can’t handle this common eventuality]

Our cities are in decline, people can’t have universal healthcare, University education is pay to play, Pensions were scrapped for 401ks, Social Security is on the ropes, 100k children have gone missing in the US, Europe is in full meltdown… …but theres always money in the Hadron banana stand. https://gizmodo.com/physicists-turned-lead-into-gold-for-a-fraction-of-a-second-2000601850

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ Oil continues to languish in kilosats, despite improved trade landscape. WTI Crude floating about the $61ksat level this morning. $61,288 sats per barrel atm. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

I believe we all have this nameless, endless Want in our Being. We identify it differently, and at different times in different ways. But the Want is always there. It feeds Me, feeds on Me. Accepting, recognizing and managing this Want is what builds character. Feeding this unidentifiable Want is our life-path. A necessity. Allowing it to feed on Me is a mis-judgement. It’s quite the conundrum, just trying to Be Me. My 2-sats this evening, apropos of the spam-wars.

Spammers are at it again.

Bitcoin has successfully scaled. Cycles are done, as we knew them. Plebs will be replaced by Retail. Institutions will accumulate, but unemotionally (b/c they handle other peoples money). Deep State/Mike Benz’ “The Blob” will assail anyone who has access to Bitcoin code from all angles, not to stop Bitcoin, but to shape it in their own image. Those who have loved Bitcoin for most of their lives need to kneel and make a parting grace. Bitcoin is venturing out on its own. You need to accept that its not Yours anymore.

OG Bitcoiners will always be selling now, into $100k. Class of 2017 will always be selling soon, into $500k. Class of 2020 will always be selling later, into $1million. Wall Street (or its like) will always be buying, always. We all bought and will sell Bitcoin at the price we deserve! But we’ll always leave a smaller bag for our heirs. And they, a smaller bag still. Ad terminum. [Except the corporations who live indefinitely and leverage their Bitcoin bags and therefore might accrete non-degenerating wealth and will be fighting far beyond our mortal lives to accumulate the Bitcoin we mortal beings will continually sell to them.] Hope is funny that way. Fleeting, even in the best of times. But it has always has been. Even with Bitcoin. Nostrovia!

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ Oil plummets further, below the 59ksat level. WTI Crude Oil is at 58,888 sats per barrel on this fine Friday. Enjoy your weekend Pleb! 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️
