Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Unbelievable view here this morning as the sun came out... Had to pull over to get a better view ๐งก

Here's the thing about making predictions about the price of bitcoin in dollars...
There's the numerator (bitcoin) which somewhat steadily continues to appreciate on an adoption curve - ups and downs for sure as paper handed new people buy and sell with the wind, traders trade with leverage, and OGs support families and start companies and whatnot, but mostly up and to the right and people across the globe become educated about bitcoin. Open source tools and infrastructure continue to improve exponentially and once you understand bitcoin there is generally no going back.
But then there's the denominator (USD) which wildly swings all fucking over the place - reacting to global macro forces, political ambitions and failures, large scale theft through taxation & money printing, misallocation of capital designed to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich, capital controls, and many other fiat shenanigans. To be clear, I'm not talking about the DXY or any other "measure" of USD strength or weakness, I'm talking about societal volatility that only shows up in actual free markets - and bitcoin is probably the freest market in the world.
So if you want to speculate on the future BTCUSD pair, you have to be informed about all of that stuff... numerator and denominator.
This is why @ODELL says to just "stay humble, stack sats"

Windows is the literal worst. How has every large company in America been so fooled into using it?

If daylight savings is the government's idea of "saving" it's no wonder they wanted to put XRP in the strategic reserve. ๐
Hey does anyone know if Nostr Village is happening again this year at @PUBKEY ?
I actually haven't given anything up for lent probably since I was a kid, but as I have gotten more in touch with God recently, it actually kind of made sense to me for the first time this year, and it "popped into my head" literally Tuesday night, right before lent started. Here's how I suddenly made sense of it:
If you wanted to give God a gift, what would you give Him? The Dude literally made the entire universe, the sun, the stars, the earth, all living things. But there is one thing he cannot speak into being... our free will. He cannot force us to choose anything.
So this lent I decided to choose to be a little healthier, a little more clear headed, and spend a little more time being thankful to God. I will often smoke a little weed (or take an edible) before bed to help me sleep, but I'm giving that up for lent this year. I haven't been sleeping as well, but when I wake up in the night, I spend that time in prayer.
Anyone else have thoughts on the meaning or purpose of sacrificing this season?
This Bitcoin dip is really doing a number on my checking account, which is running dangerously low, but future me is screaming back into the past telling me to stack harder before we hit the suddenly phase fr fr.
How it started:
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
How it's going:
"Give me your comfortable, your wealthy, your individuals yearning for access to better capital markets"

@ODELL may have given up GMs for lent but I like the GM vibes and I bet Jesus would too ๐งก๐ซ
