Being Bitcoin only is good. Pointing out πŸ’© coin scams to others is good. Talking shit to people who haven't figured it out yet, just makes you a dick. Yet at the same time, HFSP has a place. But it isn't for those asking a sincere question. It is for those who are talking out of their own asses who also refuse to STFU and kindly fuck off elsewhere. I hold that for the people that comment on every stream I do, every post I make. Other wise I at least TRY to help others before telling them to fuck off.

Fortunately BTC doesn't care about anyone's opinion. Not mine, not yours, not Jack Dorsey's, not Saylor's, no influencers, no one, it just does what it does. That said there is NO SUCH THING as "just" digital gold. Digital gold is a store of value that can transport across space and time in seconds in a borderless premissionless way. Anything that can do that can never be "just" that. May be @jack is being taken out of context here? May be. he means that other things need us to develop for them? But again that will happen.

image When I see how many are reacting to honest to god good news about "crypto" I can only conclude that many current BTC "influencers" seem to be a bunch of reactionary little weak bitc-es. WTF happened? I don't know but, I think bitcoiners split into two camps. Those who were here for the block wars do not give a single F what anyone does or says with πŸ’© coins. We have been though it in ways those who were not in the space, can't understand. Also you had to at least have a decent stake during the wars to appreciate it. Say 20-30K or more. If you were at that level in 2017 then went though Ver's πŸ’© and Wright's πŸ’© and lived though all the other ICOs and Venture capitalist πŸ‚ πŸ’© like "blockchain not bitcoin" you don't care about this. If you have been in the game since say 2016, you have learned that literally EVERYTHING is good for Bitcoin. Attacks are often the best thing for Bitcoin. There are a few old timers who seem to be worried but not many. Those old timers who are worried likely never had much of a stack back then, they were very early in their walks. Or they are special kids who are not actually worried about Bitcoin, it is more they hate Trump and have to believe he is "in on it" or some πŸ’©. It reminds me of being a young sales Executive VP in telecom. Older guys would tell me there are two types of people in this gig, those who were here prior to deregulation and the AT&T Breakup and those who came in after and you young guys just can't understand. Now 25 years later, I fully understand by seeing new bitcoiners pissing their pants over honest to God good news, because it isn't exactly what that want it to be.

Sorry guys Bitcoin commerce will NEVER be what we want until it is treated as a "currency". Try to run a business with a supply chain on the back end of physical items and labor and take bitcoin and you'll understand why in a heart beat. Right now bitcoin is money, not a currency. I know many of you have your brain hurt reading that, you don't want it to be true BUT IT IS. Spend one day managing a company with fixed expenses while trying to accept a highly volatile asset as your currency and you'll understand fast. If you are holding a 10% dip over a couple weeks means NOTHING, if you have a net profit on your COGS of 5%, you are heading right into bankruptcy. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. The season you want isn't coming for a long time. Get used to it and keep stacking.

It takes 1461 days to become a true Bitcoiner. Your faith will be shaken, you will have super highs and devastating lows, it is all pain. But on day 1462, it will all change!

image I appointed myself to lead Texas today and singed some EOs. Texas has seceded and is under "new management". Mass deportation of lunatics will soon begin. Get ready OK, AR & LA sorry to do it to you but it is just the easiest places to dump them.

image It's okay folks calm the fuck down. All we want is government to not be in the way, not to pick winners. A level playing field for "crypto" is an asymmetric advantage for Bitcoin. I f you are bitching about today's EO you have a lot more work to do in understanding what Bitcoin is and where it is going. If you are bitching because there may end up being an SBR, SAME. For fuck sake boys and girls if we really have the best money, (and we do), eventually EVERYONE will use it. Crying as it happens is for nocoiners, not Maxis.

Ross deserves a new start, if you are a Bitcoiner, even if you do not know who Ross is, you owe him more than you can imagine. YES this is legit, this is Ross's site that has been our main source of info for over a decade. I just flipped him some corn, please consider helping.

I honest to god shed tears for Ross and Lyn today when I heard the news and as a man I am not ashamed of one of those fuckin tears. A full and unconditional pardon was beyond what any of including Ross expected. This makes him actually free, 100% free. Have you been convicted of a felony? NO βœ… Free! The Orangeman came though in a YUGE way. image #grownostr #rossisfree

β€œI don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984

Megafires from a Permaculture Perspective – Epi-3610 This was a fantastic discussion with a guy that has been though a CA fire even larger than the ones currently happening. We look at what can be done to restore damaged land and prevent future catastrophic loss. This one was a really amazing discussion you don't want to miss. #podcastr #permaculture #grownostr #tspc

My grandson has been asking me about what it was like being in the Army, I really could not fully explain it but now I don't have to. Never in my life have I seen anything this funny and this accurate at the same time. πŸ˜‚
