Deleting twitter was possible thanks to #Nostr Saving money was possible thanks to #bitcoin Managing finances with Bitcoin is now possible thanks to nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle Looking forward to deleting my fiat accounts (except for the credit cards)

Financial diversification is a fiat concept that assumes you must be willing to lose a portion of your wealth in order to keep the other. With #bitcoin you don’t have to accept this

A lot of people out there thinking about us these days; about the time we told them about #bitcoin Stay humble and be kind to those who reach out to you.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Incredible true story.

CEO was presenting at an all employee town hall. He had a huge screen behind him showing the top 5 questions from employees. The company uses a polling system that, let’s just say, isn’t top of the line software. I asked several questions anonymously about #bitcoin but they were receiving no upvotes. As usual, DEI questions were getting hundreds of upvotes. Long story short, my questions miraculously showed up in the top 5 right behind him and in front of an in-person and online audience of around 50,000 people. He was visibly distracted as they appeared in the screen. Almost like he couldn’t believe it. It seemed as if he had seen a ghost hahah. Questions were; 1) When are we adding #bitcoin to the balance sheet 2) When will they allow engineers to access MSTR or ETFs with our 401Ks Anyway, he was probably hoping that the backroom would remove them, but again, not a great polling system. So the questions miraculously kept showing up. Might have been a glitch... Eventually he went on to do Q&A with the audience and ignored them. But he saw them. And the audience saw them. And everyone saw that he saw them and he didn’t answer them. That’s what we call a check. GM

I used to own physical gold prior to understanding #bitcoin. But I sold every single gold coin as I realized: 1) Money is a winner-take-all; the best money wins, all others lose 2) Gold has other use cases, which is actually not a good feature for money 3) Gold’s supply is variable, and tech could and possibly will exacerbate it And most importantly! 4) In practice, it is actually not portable, divisible or recognizable. Of course you can carry it from point A to point B. But in the world we leave in, there is a myriad of barriers and threats between A and B that realistically impair gold’s portability. And if you want to divide it or verify it, realistically you will have a hard time to do so. Never mind the risk involved in having your wealth physically available. Once you realize the power of multi-jurisdiction multi-sig, you cannot unsee it. Gold is just a rock.

Crazy to think that I once had an account at Facebook, Messenger, Discord, Snapchat, Twitter, LinkedIn and several others. Never felt trapped, until I did. #nostr

Just watched Disclaimer on Apple TV. Craziest plot twist I've seen in a long time. Lesson comes at the end, but it’s a good one. If you truly love someone, you should never be quick to come to conclusions, even if the evidence seems stacked against them. You should give them the benefit of the doubt. You should question the veracity of what appears to be true, but unlike them GM #nostr

Disagreeing with people on #nostr is different. Zooming out, the disagreements are minor details in my opinion. It seems like at the end of the day we all have the same core values. It’s like having pub fights because sometimes someone just drinks too much. But we are all wearing t-shirts from the same team. And God forbid someone from the competing team dares to touch anyone in our pub... The good thing and the sad thing is that this will change when the goal is achieved

Just making a note here for when I go grocery shopping later. I try my best to stick to it, though not always the case - Butter, Beef Tallow, Salt - Milk A2 - Eggs - Cheese - Greek Yogurt - Beef, Bison, Chicken, Salmon - Avocado, Tomato - Banana, Strawberries - Maple Syrup, Raw Honey - Water (glass bottles) * all natural, unprocessed, organic, whole, pasture-raised, grass-fed, single-ingredient, fluoride-free, seed oil-free GM #nostr

My old 401K is still being held away from #bitcoin against my will by my company’s custodian. I cannot buy the ETFs since, according to the plan board, it’s too risky. No MSTR allowed either. The board masters said no individual stocks allowed. Only pre-selected rent-seeking trad Fi mutual funds can be chosen. I cannot even withdraw it (even if I assumed the penalty). I’m probably not the only one. All this to say, the flood gates have only partially opened.

Not sure why, but I never preferred the word ‘bullish’ over ‘optimistic’ or ‘hopeful’ yet everyone these days uses it when talking about #nostr and #bitcoin It has a Wall Street, establishment-type of vibe that doesn’t seem right. It’s like using corporate jargon at home. Does anyone say to their spouse that they’ll ’circle back’? Anyway, just an opinion

Next time you go through an airport and find yourself at the security checkpoint, tell TSA you want a physical patdown instead of subjecting yourself to unnecessary radiation. If you have kids, request it on their behalf too. Remember, the government cares not about your health but about not having a headline that disrupts their everyday stealing and meddling

Defunding of the state #bitcoin Sound money utility #lightning Abolishment of censorship #nostr Privacy reinstatement #ecash What next? Pretty cool time to be alive

If you gift someone a loaded SATSCARD, how does the government expect this action to be declared on a tax return if there is no record of the moment you hand it over to the new bearer (which would be the moment you are spending it)? Is this one of those cases where they are supposed to trust your self-reported timestamp? And if so, does that mean that transferring #bitcoin physically creates a glitch in the way it is taxed? Wouldn’t this incentivize physical transfers over on-chain transfers if the option is available? nostr:npub12ctjk5lhxp6sks8x83gpk9sx3hvk5fz70uz4ze6uplkfs9lwjmsq2rc5ky #bitcoin #asknostr

Ramsey steps once they decide to be humble: 1) Save 1M sats for en emergency fund 2) Pay of all debt, sell the house to buy more sats 3) Stack sats until you have 3-6 months of expenses 4) Keep stacking until you have enough to borrow against for your kids' college 5) Stack more until you have enough #bitcoin for retirement 6) Rent instead of buying a house to keep skyrocketing insurance costs, property tax, and maintenance out of your life and maintain flexibility in case the local government wants to fuck around 7) Keep stacking and give. Maybe buy a house once property taxes are abolished in your jurisdiction of interest

I hope we get to see the day when states cannot pay for war because they can’t afford it because they don’t have enough #bitcoin

FYI: Mainstream media’s politically correct way to state that they are censoring free speech that isn’t aligned with their agenda is now as follows: “addressing misinformation.” Be on the lookout for these code words. GM #nostr

The mainstream media is a good source of truth in that you can be 100% certain the truth is either the opposite of what they say or everything but what they say. The closest they will ever get to the truth is by deceiving you with real facts but a misleading narrative. So the best advice if you want a peaceful life is to simply ignore it

If you have to choose between trusting the government or taking a risk, always take the risk
