I remember being on my friend’s boat when Israel bombed Iran. I randomly looked at my phone and saw that #bitcoin dropped like 10% on a Saturday and then asked everyone on the boat if they knew what happened? We did some quick looking at social media and figured out that the bombing took place. Now the U.S. abducts a foreign head of state and nothing happens. No clue what it means, but some piece of some puzzle to think about.
Today was the first time I got my bag pulled for having an orgonite puck in my carry on. Had to explain it to TSA. He was actually intrigued. Not like I was a shady suspect intrigued either. Appreciated the curiosity. Shocked this was the first time this happened though.
I have come to the conclusion, in 2025, that the only way #bitcoin wins is with self custody. Many have stated the prospect of self custody makes Bitcoin better than gold and silver, but until you actually do it, its property of 10 minute self custody means nothing. We are learning this lesson with an industrial metal that has close to an unlimited supply given a high enough price.
