I am convinced that the ‘Time’ part of Heidegger's “Being and Time’ is Bitcoin. It is Bitcoin because all of these pieces that work together within Bitcoin to create it as what it is, are bound up with temporality itself and connects us, as inner-worldly beings with other inner-worldly beings to overcome objective present reality to create a new world from our own resoluteness through logic itself. It’s super fucked and going to take me the better part of a decade to parse and explain, but I am convinced that is what is going on and why Bitcoin is such a monumental event. Because Bitcoin is The seminal Event of Philosophy where Beyng unveils itself as a logical concourse of how inner-worldly beings may organize themselves within that logic against the barbaric violence that has consummated all of human history until now. Bitcoin ruptures and abrogates that organizational violence for a new kind of organization that forbids such violence and within that overturns the ordering of the human condition, which itself involves the deepest contemplations of the human condition in our day and age. It resoundingly ask the question of the meaning of life in modernity with an answer that cannot be said, but understood with a precision and fidelity that is beyond our spoken language and into another kind of communication that can rescue us from the human condition of history until now. Enjoy your little dose of my crazy for the day.

These are what I’m usually hunting for; golden chanterelles. Usually cleaner than whites and has a bit of an apricot taste to the white chanterelle. My personal favorite way to have them is to pickle them, which seems strange, but it’s pretty great. image

These are my mushroom hunting assistants. They are a bit derpy, but they are good at patrolling for bears and lions. image

It feels fucking crazy that we are a half decade away from when the COVID crazy shit started and that nothing has been the same since.

The only problem with Nostr is it’s too nice here… I feel like this is more my home, community, and people; which is wonderful and a space I really needed, but I need a bit more of a fight. I’m considering returning to X in 2025 so I can keep fighting the retards and do my part to help get more people on the lifeboat of Bitcoin and Nostr before it’s too late. I know it’s bad for my health, but so are all wars.

In less that 15 years a handful of nerds changed the world of finance and money with Bitcoin. Economics is always upstream of politics, so expect the next 15 years of politics to be shaped by Bitcoin as well.

Hyperbitcoinization and hyperinflation are the same thing.

Bitcoin ownership is a bit like gun ownership. It’s pretty simple and straightforward, but if you don’t know what you are doing and have unsafe practices you can absolutely destroy yourself. Also you NEED to know how both of them work to protect yourself. You cannot rely on others to hold your keys to save you, just like you cannot rely on others to hold a firearm to save you.

I feel so lucky that I can spend the whole day out in the forest with my dogs finding all sorts of delightful mushroom gifts. It just feels so peaceful and right to be out there tromping around and being in the elements of nature. image

I feel rage in my body when people act like paying taxes is some kind of ethical obligation. I usually flip out and list off each illegal US bombing campaign and asking after each one if that was ethical. View quoted note →

Not only does it work, it’s been than the current model which is inherently based on exploiting artist for their value. V4V opens a whole new world of creativity where artist can truly produce for their fans alone, and get larger and more robust earnings than ever before. View quoted note →

I have a really hard time taking anyone seriously who talks about personal or spiritual empowerment, but then scoffs at the idea of bitcoin. You can’t change the world if you’re using slave credits to try to do that, and in fact I’m suspicious that you’re really in it just to make more slave credits.

I’m always impressed and surprised at how much my physiological attunement matters to how I’m feel. I was feeling pretty down earlier today, and forced myself to go out mushroom hunting. After about an hour, I was really surprised at how much better I was feeling. Getting that blood flowing and getting your mind off of whatever it may be spinning on is really important to take care of yourself. I just wanted to say that for anyone feeling down to encourage them to get out of the house and do something to take care of their body and the mind will likely follow suit. GN. image

I am really, really thankful for Bitcoin, and more importantly Bitcoiners. You people have really inspired me to be my best, and to know that we all have a great and extraordinary task before us that we are manifesting into reality. It is all becoming true, and with Bitcoiners we are going to right the wrongs of our world that are rooted in the lies and corruption that are fiat. Together we are going to free our people from this impossible problem that has been so graciously and serendipitously solved by Satoshi. I thank all of you for helping me know that I have a mission and purpose in this world, and it is with all of you who share in this great quest that is to liberate other being into the sovereignty that Bitcoin provides and teaches to all of us.
