The people who got you into ColdCard are the people who got you onto #Nostr btw. Food for thought.

I don’t think it’s sunk in for anyone yet what a massive disaster this is. This will shape the next year+ at a minimum.

Not to defend MSTR but they did accumulate 4% of supply in a fairly sustainable way… If I had to take a bet on who will be richer in 20 years, I’m betting on Saylor. He just needs to make it through this bear market without being jailed. View quoted note →

To be successful on Nostr, you’re expected to 1000x the size of the user base 🤣 View quoted note →

In case you guys didn’t get this I made a chatbot which tries to impersonate me. It was a pretty fun casual project. It’s interesting how AI becomes total uncanny valley when you know how much it is filling in the gaps of things. Obviously this thing isn’t me… but it’s trying hard and it has a tinge. Hard to explain. I trained it only on Twitter data, I’m sure it would act different if I added my notes as context. Give it a spin and see if it’s accurate or not. View quoted note →

Come chat with “me”!

Cross-posted from X because you guys might appreciate it: What I’ve learned over the past five years is that very little good comes from giving anyone financial advice (unless it’s your job). I recommended Bitcoin like a psycho in 2022. I was unstoppable. Relentless. Every conversation, every interaction. I bought people books, I sent podcasts, I sent memes, I had long discussions, I helped people set up apps, the whole 9 yards. I started a passion project dedicated to Bitcoin Policy advocacy (bitcoinpolicyvt.com). Even though most buys from 2022 were up +500% at the top and still are +200% today, almost nobody I know is actually better off. Nobody buys the lows unless they already get it on their own. Most of my friends who got involved FOMO’d above 60k (average price probably close to 100k now) and some are slightly rekt versus SPY and Gold. I WAS right, but you don’t get any credit for wins, and you’ll take heat for losses (they think gains are because of THEM, and losses are because of ME). Moral of the story: worry about yourself. If you like Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin. You can be pro-Bitcoin and use it yourself without wasting time and social capital trying to get people who don’t care or can’t manage the volatility/risks involved.

There is no “we”. Most people do not want to be helped and are content with their state. Give them food and entertainment and they’re all set. Wish it wasn’t true. Secure your own future and the future of your people (family, community, etc.) and let everyone else do their thing with hopefully as little negative impact on you as possible. View quoted note →

If you think there’s a solution for normal people, I’ve got bad news for you. View quoted note →

Do you guys know that this is a shitpost from X and there’s been no announcement of this? Or are you punking me by pretending to believe a fake thing is real? If any of you took this seriously it makes me concerned about your critical thinking. Plebs will literally feed themselves slop. All that aside, it would be nice if Saylor has a plan.
