TRUST is the seed of every meaningful connection in this world. It manifests slowly, requiring patience and consistency. What others invest in you becomes a sacred trust, one that shortsighted opportunists will gladly burn for momentary gain. Guard these bonds carefully. The temptation to exploit connection for quick advantage has destroyed more potential than any market downturn ever could.

Good morning Nostr. Watching my sons step into adulthood, I’m struck by the absurdity of what we’re calling “opportunity” now. A 15 year car note. A 50 year mortgage. We’ve normalized generational debt as the price of entry to basic life. The system that raised me has become a machine that extracts wealth from the young before they’ve even earned it. I love this country, but I can’t ignore what it’s become. The political class has engineered a monetary system where saving is punishment and debt is survival. Every dollar they print dilutes the future my sons are trying to build. But there’s an exit. Bitcoin isn’t just an investment for my family anymore. It’s the only honest money in a dishonest system. It’s the only asset politicians can’t inflate away, can’t seize on a whim, can’t manipulate to fund their next campaign promise. My sons won’t win playing by their rules. Nobody wins that game except the house. So we’re changing games. Stack sats. Build skills. Stay sovereign. The system doesn’t fix itself. You fix yourself, then help others do the same.The next generation doesn’t need permission to opt out. They just need to act.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There’s another kind of intoxication we rarely name…emotional drunkenness. It works the same way as being a drunk. Your field of vision shrinks. Your judgment warps. You might not wake up in a literal ditch, but you’ll find yourself in one of the metaphorical kinds, wondering how you got there. If you’re trying to build something that lasts (a craft, a marriage, a family, a community), you can’t afford to live in that fog. Clarity isn’t optional. It’s the price of building well. The part that makes it harder is that drunks don’t just want another drink. They want someone to drink with them. This world is full of people ready to sell you the emotional hit you’re already craving, and plenty more who are three drinks deep and looking for company. Stay away from both. The work that matters requires a clear head. Not because feeling is wrong, but because building something worth keeping demands you stay awake for it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Self reliance isn’t a preference. It’s operational readiness. When you earn your own way through productive work, you maintain independence and can’t be compromised. State handouts create dependencies that turn citizens into assets to be controlled. Liberty means one thing…you’re responsible for your own survival and success. Bitcoin’s architecture makes this mission viable by cutting state control from the money supply. Voluntary exchange. Individual sovereignty. No permission required. The tools for complete economic independence are deployed and operational right now. “I think it fails through irrelevance. It fails to be relevant to people on a daily basis if it just ends up being store value and nothing more. I think it has to be payments for it to be relevant on the everyday.” - Jack

The leader doesn’t ask to lead. They simply cannot look away from the problem. And in that inability to look away, in that compulsion toward resolution, they create the gravity around which solutions and people naturally orbit.

When a whistleblower calls out government misconduct and is found dead soon after, one does not need conspiracy theories. One only needs to understand how regimes behave when their secrets are threatened.

Nostr’s biggest resistance is the psychological gravity of the group. Most people prefer to move with the pack because solitude feels like risk, even when conformity carries a deeper cost. But progress has never begun with the majority. It begins with the few who walk ahead, and their small steps often become the path the rest eventually realize they needed. #Purpleverse

Character attacks flourish where evidence is absent. When someone avoids your claims and questions your motives, they are signaling that they have nothing substantive to offer. Stay grounded in the facts. A culture of truth begins with individuals who refuse to abandon standards of proof.

There’s something profound about seeing your children navigate real markets, real constraints, real customers. The tools have changed (Square makes commerce beautifully simple), but the fundamentals remain..create value, serve others, iterate relentlessly. Every entrepreneur’s journey starts here, in the uncertain space between vision and reality. The rewards aren’t just in the business metrics. They’re in the growth, the resilience, the transformation from idea to execution. To everyone building something, trust the process. The early challenges are features, not bugs. They’re forging you into someone capable of sustaining what you’re creating.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image
