There are a lot of talented people working for the USG. For the last several decades the amount of $ the USG spends has attracted both talent and vultures. It is the biggest “bait ball” in nature. The market was largely captured and we wasted a lot of time, energy, and lives. I look forward to the possibility of Bitcoin changing the incentive structure.

Faith is not knowing everything is going to turn out okay. It is being okay no matter how things turn out.

I haven’t deleted centralized and permissioned social media yet. However, I don’t look at it often. Just looked and it is such a dumpster fire. So much noise.

I took this during a storm over the Atlantic Ocean. When a sufficient difference in electrical polarity builds, lightning occurs as a way to balance out the charge. There great distortions in the global, fiat, credit-as-money system. Money is a store of energy and there is a huge imbalance. The thunder head (storm) is growing. There is to much negative energy concentrated in the top of the system. In the early stage of lighting, an unseen leader channel branches out. Before it reaches the surface, at about 30 meters, a positive polarity rises to meet it. The arc we see happens right after this! ⚡️Bitcoin is rising from the surface to close the circuit. It will arc. It may have to arc thousands of times before all that energy is dissipated. I’m not a meteorologist nor economists. I could wrong. If you add my observations to 5 sats, you’d have 5 sats. I love to watch lightning unless I’m surfing. Zap someone who is helping the network and remember lightning:)

“Technology is deflationary. Inflation is theft. Bitcoin is repricing everything.” - Jeff Booth Truth requires a response. Navigating life with a new understanding can be messy. It can seem like a bridge to far. I’m grateful for voices like @Jeff Booth who bring good signal in a world of noise.

The typos tho…if this is fixed one day, all of us will look back to the typos days on Nostr as an indicator of how early we adopted it

Strap in and hold on! Bitcoin is largely dismissed and ridiculed at the moment by the experts and the masses. It is been opposed in some countries. However, it will be accepted as self-evident at some point. When that happens, there will likely be a backfilling of memory and false story told. I’m grateful to have discovered Bitcoin as “late” as I have. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer

@ODELL I love your passion for freedom. Please consider finding Shawn Ryan of the Shawn Ryan Show. He is in Nashville and has a huge podcast. He is new and is just experiencing censorship. I’m working on all my SOF buddies. You and your team may be able to get Shawn’s attention and go on his show.

See the photo below. Jason Lowery was most likely at AFIT.edu during his time at MIT and therefore largely out is sight and mind of big Air Force (and its growing little sister Space Force). After leaving the AFIT books and being PCS’d to Patrick, papa Space Force seems to have reminded him that there are rules that he didn’t follow. When @preston, @npub1s9z7...nszc and @Magoo PhD were discussing this I was reminded of how completely unaware big DoD and it’s branches of service can be. I don’t pretend to know the real story. However, people tend to overestimate the capabilities of a giant, often glacially-slow bureaucracy. I do think there are centralized powers that want to control us…for sure. I resigned my commission over the vax mandate…utterly unconstitutional. However, not everything is a well coordinated operation. My guess is that Jason actually wants to make a difference. I could be wrong.

I’m encouraged as I watch the enthusiasm talent being drawn into the Bitcoin, decentralized, and freedom network.
