I'm not ashamed to be happy about this. This was an inevitable milestone that needed to be hit at some point. We do all need to level up more as bitcoiners though with the battles ahead.

Stay humble and stack sats, you cockroachers!

I am a developer with 15 years of experience spread across many languages and I have very high competency with docker and git. I should be much better than I am for having spent 15 years developing but software development has always just been a way to make money. It's a secondary passion of mine. All of that said, I have been feeling a bit down on myself for not contributing to this space more. I think I have been putting it off for some kind of weird fear of "not being good enough" with all of the kings in this space and the little time in my life after being a dad to several little kids, etc. Feel free to shill or just link me your project if you are interested my help. I am aiming to put in ~1 hour per day on open source work.

Red flags popping up for me. I bet they rugpull GBTC before the ETF approvals. I'm still not selling though.

The broken system reveals itself to you because it wants to be healed.

What in the heck did I just read??? ... in a submitted comment from a self-proclaimed KYC/AML Specialist regarding the Bitcoin Spot ETF: "March 12, 2024, as the earliest date the ETF investment product can be launched. Starting on this date Venus (planet of stored value is energized and exalted in Pisces, and Pluto is out of Capricorn and firmly transiting through Aquarius full time)."

For the next many years, 6102 energy is going to ramp up and peak at some point. So, I propose that we start working on a strong counter message. It has to be strong on the concrete impact via numbers of DEATH of the poor, underpriveleged, needy, disabled, oppressed, and disenfranchised in the world via economic suppression caused by PRINTING money. We need to use their "authority bias" and "for the children" virtue signalling minds for the advantage of the world.

Is Elizabeth Warren some kind of "poison pill" puppet of the system. Like a sheep in wolf's clothing or something. Less than 1% of her bills pass.

1) The NFL has Cisco as it's "Cybersecurity Partner". Feels a little odd and out of place. 2) This article:

Making sure you're not a bot!

Feels like they are gearing up for something big again.

I just got done listening to most of the Alex Jones interview: https://www.infowars.com/posts/watch-the-first-alex-jones-interview-after-his-tucker-carlson-episode-broke-the-internet/ The first time I really gave him my full attention. I was surprised at how he made so much sense. It is painful for me to accept a lot of the truth I was just immersed in. 5 years ago me would never have believed I would ever write this. I guess the biggest fight is yet to come, but I am really thankful and happy I found the bitcoin/nostr community. Know that I am ride or die, and will be in for whatever bitter trials we have ahead. Freedom tech and faith in God and each other will sustain us.

Luke Dashjr has been an inconsistent, and flakey character since I've been paying attention to him. He definitely has some con-artist vibes to him. I'm not 100% on this but my gut instinct on people is extremely accurate as I've learned over the years.
