I’m starting to like #damus more now.

It's physically and mentally exhausting to cultivate your anger and anxiety, and you become a mental burden on all the people around you. Learn to let go, don’t live in your mind, don’t unnecessarily rewind the past, there are so many more valuable ways to spend your energy. #orangebook #stoic #nostric

$MSTRbator Part of Speech: noun (slang, finance, crypto culture) Pronunciation: /ˈɛmˌɛsˌtiːˌɑːrˈbeɪtər/ Definition: MSTRbator (noun) A slang, tongue-in-cheek term used to describe a hyper-enthusiastic retail investor or Bitcoin maximalist who obsessively buys, tracks, or evangelizes MicroStrategy (ticker: MSTR) stock due to its heavy Bitcoin holdings, often conflating it with direct Bitcoin ownership. The term plays on both “MSTR” (the stock ticker) and a crude pun on self-gratification, implying a level of irrational or emotional overattachment. Usage Context: • Commonly used in crypto Twitter, Reddit, and Bitcoin meme circles. • Often used pejoratively or self-deprecatingly to mock overzealous MicroStrategy investors who treat MSTR like a leveraged Bitcoin ETF or a substitute for owning spot BTC. • Reflects a cult-like admiration for Michael Saylor, MSTR’s Executive Chairman and prominent Bitcoin advocate. Example Sentences: • “He’s such a MSTRbator—every time MSTR dips, he maxes out another credit card.” • “Forget ETFs, the real gigachad move is being a full-time MSTRbator.” • “MSTRbators think Michael Saylor is the Bitcoin messiah.”

All Your Models Will Be Destroyed

You overthink a lot of things when you are insecure about who you are. Peace of mind is just a practical aspect of truly being who you want to be. #stoic-bs

Assume that you will always be in a “stressful period of your life” and just figure out how to become a mentally stronger person who can handle anything.

Holy grail!!!!!! View quoted note →

OP_RETURN: Now at point of no Return!

We’re all apes on a floating rock

BIP 177 sounds like a good idea. It definitely will make it easier for us to orange pill dear ones.

Therapist: “You seem obsessed with Bitcoin. Do you think it’s affecting your life?” Me: “I don’t know, Doc. Let’s discuss it after the next halving.”

Crazy story telling
