“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” -Socrates From @Brian De Mint’s new book, Parallel a.co/d/5z7g9oX

20th book of 2024 complete: American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by @WoodardColin One of the best books on American history I’ve ever read. The descriptions of distinct nations and how they fought and shaped the continent was enlightening. But Woodard, like most historians, goes off track the closer he gets to the present. His own “Yankeedom” ideals rear their head as he assumes that Progressive ideas, higher taxes, state run education, and climate change policies among others are the correct positions. His description of cutting taxes, school vouchers, and pushing back against unions are described as backwards or supporting the elites, without any consideration of the reverse policies being used to support elitism. I’d love to see more recent events described using this rival nations thesis by someone who is more well versed in the general corruption of centralized government and understands how the Federal Reserve has drastically affected American politics. Regardless, I would absolutely recommend this book and still believe it to be one the best American history books you could read. Thanks to @Gabe for the recommendation

I celebrated the Halvening by purchasing a Wagyu 1/2 cow from @KCCattleCompany 21% off by paying with #bitcoin But it’s more than the discount. It’s more than having a freezer full of high quality beef. It’s knowing I’m helping an American Veteran owned and operated cattle business fight back against the big corporations who manipulate the market and sell us inferior products. They fuck us with inflation and their “cure” is cheap shitty food We’re opting out and creating parallel economies, supply chains, and lines of communications #GetOnTheMission #bitcoin #nostr #beef

You heard @ODELL, his name is now LARRY FLINK That is the only way I will spell it now

19th book of 2024 complete: Bitcoin Evangelism by @Brian De Mint This will become my new go to Orange Pilling book to give to people wanting to learn more Brian covers every topic that a normie/precoiner would have. Most importantly, he doesn’t shy away from talking about altcoins and what they’re attempting to do, whether as a scam or provide some utility. This is an often overlooked aspect by Maxis, who although correct, come off as myopic and biased. Great piece of work for beginners and OGs

18th book of 2024 complete: Extreme Ownership by Jacko Willink and Leif Babin An absolutely amazing book I can’t believe I haven’t read before Although I never looked at it from this point of view, this is exactly the mentality they try to instill in you at Ranger School; arguable the US Military’s premier leadership school The advice and wisdom of this book can be used by anyone from corporate execs to parents Move to the top of your reading list!

This one’s for the homies ✊ IYKYK
