A young American YouTuber - Nick Shirley - exposed MASSIVE FRAUD in Minnesota. Citizen journalist doing what legacy media refuses to. Kudos to this young man. Great job! So far he has over 50 million views on X. Hopefully he’ll come to Nostr at some point as well. But it is HUGE and well worth watching.

Merry Christmas!

I’m the oldest of 5. I care about my siblings. I’ve helped a couple of them a bit when they’ve needed it. But I can’t ever imagine tying my finances, my housing, the rules of their houses - to mine. I can’t imagine someone - that none of the 5 of us really chose - being the arbiter of an arrangement like this. Why would one ever get into a “partnership” like that? Why in the hell did the EU ever exist in the first place? What am I missing?

I haven’t read a fiction book in years. But I decided to purchase and read “The Blood of the Bourgeoisie” by a young Bitcoiner named Michael Sullivan. Yes - I’m a sucker for any book about bitcoin. But - seriously - it was pretty darn good. Quick easy read. I would say it’s quite difficult to sprinkle bitcoin into a “normal” book and make it read “normal” (for now) and think it may be tough for the foreseeable future. But I’m Glad to see it and I hope works like this picks up speed. Also - It was Kind of a nice break from Econ, history, money. (Admittedly, I’m not techie and tried - and failed - “Mastering Bitcoin”) I’ve said this for a few years now - I’m here because of the F ing tyranny of 2020. The techies were here much before 2020. And I’d say those that are pissed off hard ass freedom lovers - enraged and engaged from the scam-demic - like me - are all already here. The next wave comes from story tellers - we need to appeal to emotion. We need to promote the great works of the likes of @HRF and @gladstein . We need to show the villages of Africa becoming electrified by the likes of great companies like Gridless. @Erik Hersman Anyway - it’s great to see young Bitcoiners trying to change the world for the better. I thank you all.

Bought a bitkey to experiment with it. I’m not keen on facial recognition. Does anyone know if there’s an analog way to log out. Seems like there would be a pin number on the app in order to access it.

Just found this license plate in basement. I have no idea why I saved it. I’m 99.9% sure this is from a car I bought the year my son turned 16 so he could have my old junk truck. Guess what month/year I bought it: Jan. 2009! No shit! I didn’t get into Bitcoin until 2020. Damn!

It’s Thanksgiving here in America today. Very thankful for all of you freedom loving bitcoiners I’ve had the good fortune to meet and interact with these last 5 years. You give me hope. Ty all. 🦃 ₿

In Florida at our Airbnb. Enjoying life. Reflecting a bit. I can bitch about the state of the world better than most. But I do - very seriously - make efforts to positively affect change as well. To me, if u r gonna bitch - realize that there are 2 sides to the ledger. Complain all you want - Then Add real value on the other side. #bitcoin #balance #life is short

This is the incredible art work done by my friend Mike Bowers. Mike is the artist that created our Magic Mural in Colon, MI. This is Mike’s church. He’s been creating this part of the church for 18 years. Truly truly amazing. Feels like you are in a Dr. Suess world. All 3D. Check out his work here: https://www.mbstheming.com/gallery wow…

We are looking at having our next meetup Saturday January 10th. Thinking of the same type format: Start (what time start? 5?? 6??) at The Grand Magic Theater - have some kind of 20-30 min presentation. Have a short Q & A after. Then to pizzeria for pizza, cheesecake, etc. for an hour or so. And then to Colon American Legion for adult beverages. Please let me know if some of you can make it. Thoughts? What type of presentation? Best times? Thanks all. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Take care, Carl
