We live in a simulation protected by fear. When they want to scare the people into submission, they fill your mind with uncertainty and doubt. Meanwhile they absorb more freedom to control and enslave you. They want you to believe that we cannot take care of ourselves and we need them. We don’t. They have tricked most of us and we have become weak.

I will never understand parents who choose to be absent from their children’s lives. I cannot think of a world where I wouldn’t reach to the far ends of the earth to be with my wife and kids. I find it repulsive and shameful.

The path to freedom seldom leads through more obedience.

I’m addicted to hash.

Damn @knutsvanholm … I’ve had to put the book down a couple times in this ch apter already. So much truth I need time to process it all. “Society is you and me. Few fights would be left to fight without terrorists, junkies, poor people, climate change, and viruses. In such a world, politicians would serve no purpose. Therefore, it is not in their self-interest to ever solve a societal problem, only to wage a perpetual war against it. You're the terrorist they want you to be afraid of. You're the junkie they wish to imprison. You're the carbon they plan to reduce and the virus they hope to contain. You're the poor person who won't vote against his own livelihood, which only they can provide. To put it another way, you're the victim in need of a savior. Assigning a politician to solve a societal problem is a bit like hiring a convicted pedophile to babysit your kids.” ~ @knutsvanholm Everything / 21M

“Fear is critical to politicians since fear can justify all means and control in the frightened public's eyes. Wars are being waged against invisible enemies to keep the population fearful. Terror, drugs, poverty, climate change, viruses. Fighting a war against any of these phenomena is a fool's errand. The only thing such wars can lead to is more government control.” ~ @knutsvanholm Everything / 21M

1 Satoshi has always been worth more than $1.

I dislike societies Christmas. I hate useless gifts. I hate the amount of money all the corporations make and fill our televisions with how Christmas is supposed to be. People go into debt to get people useless gifts that they will throw away. You know what I want for Xmas? Your time.

Ended my fast at 42 hrs. Good experience and would recommend to everyone. Apparently, the following was going on in my body: What’s happening - Growth hormone peaks (up to 5x baseline) - Fat burning maximized - Protein sparing improves (muscle preservation) Benefits • Anti-aging pathways activated • Powerful metabolic reset

Fasting update: 36 hours in. Feeding my family last night was rough. 😂 Got through it. Prayed, read the Bible, and also “Everything / 21 Million by @knutsvanholm Haven’t decided how far this goes.

Fasting today. 8pm = 24 hrs. Feeling good so far. May take this further. 48? 72?

There was a correlation between Christ and Bitcoin for me. Christ always being greater than Bitcoin. However, they are both truth in a world of lies and deception. Two epiphanies in my life that brought hope for the future.

My children do not belong to me. I have merely been entrusted to raise them into faithful servants of the Lord. What a responsibility, honor, and privilege. To be entrusted by the creator of the universe with his children. In prayer and worship, He guides me. He breathes into me and leads me.

If you understand Bitcoin, you are part of an elite group that understands money more than fiat elites. The “Elite” status in transitioning from fiat to Bitcoin.

If you have friends/family that are confused about Bitcoin and what it is (or does) I highly recommend this book. Great place to start. Well done @nat brunell

“Broken money has strained the American promise.” - @nat brunell Brunell Powerful message. I don’t think people realize how broken money affects the world and our understanding of what money actually is and how it’s ACTUALLY supposed to work. Broken money changes everything in our lives, and Natalie’s “Bitcoin Is for Everyone” brings clarity to what many people are already feeling through a common-sense, easy-to-understand framework.

What is a good lightning wallet to use? Seems like there are so many lately.

What a blessing it is to go to bed exhausted after a long day with your healthy and happy children. I need to remember this more often. I take way too much for granted.
