As of today, I've been working as #[0]'s Community Manager for exactly 1 year. For almost 7 years before that, I longed to work in the #Bitcoin space, and taught myself everything I could through websites, podcasts, and audiobooks (which were really useful while I was a FedEx delivery driver for over 4 years). Even when I was unemployed and living off my savings, I used my extra time to start a Bitcoin meetup, create Bitcoin educational content, and volunteer for NOAH at the Bitcoin 2022 Miami Conference. Thank you, #[1], for extending the invitation for me in Miami to join up with a Bitcoin company. Like with Bitcoin's price, working at NOAH has come with its own ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade the past year for the world.

On Bread, Bitcoin, and Paradigms I was reading and discussing John 6:22-65 with my family earlier this evening, and we discussed the importance of being willing to change our paradigm, and not just accepting new knowledge. In that story, Yeshua says that the people are only seeking Him because they want more bread to eat, and He responds by telling them that He's there to give them so much more than just bread. They go back and forth about this for a while, until Yeshua boldly tells them who He is, and what He really came for, and many of His followers leave Him, probably thinking He's insane. Like trying to fill old wine skins with new wine, these people couldn't accept what He was trying to give them. A modern analogy might be someone trying to install a new operating system on a computer within the framework of an already-existent operating system, as if it was merely a file to be downloaded. But to truly understand Yeshua -- and also Bitcoin -- one first needs to completely change their mental operating system, their paradigm. image In Bitcoin, this is seen when someone gets into it with the intent to get rich. Like those who thought the purpose of the Messiah was to fill their stomachs, there are many who have thought and still think that the purpose of Bitcoin is to get more fiat. But, if we're humble enough change our mental operating system, and see Bitcoin through a whole new paradigm, then we will learn this profound truth: Any amount of perfectly limited, self-sovereign money, properly owned, is enough to immediately make anyone rich in the only ways that matter, regardless of what it's currently trading for. image The real purpose of the Messiah is to free us from our own limiting paradigms; the real purpose of Bitcoin is the same.
Good morning, Nostriches. We're all a bit like Moses, leading the masses to the Promised Land, but not privileged to go there ourselves. We may be blessed to see it from afar, but we're heading to a better future for our great-grandchilden and beyond, not for ourselves. image LฬถFฬถGฬถ ๐—Ÿ๐— ๐—ฃ๐—š I hope you all had a happy #Passover, Nostriches. ๐Ÿ’œ
Good morning, Nostriches.

A compilation of grifters and some outright scammers calling for 10K bitcoin or lower. I try not to pay attention to the price, but sometimes my schadenfreude gets the better of me. ๐Ÿ˜†
Good morning, Nostriches. We're leaving Egypt, and on our way to the Promised Land. LฬถFฬถGฬถ ๐—Ÿ๐— ๐—ฃ๐—š #Passover
Good morning, Nostriches. Turn away from fiat in all its forms. It's a false god -- no more than a golden calf -- which will be destroyed and take you down with it, if you've connected yourself to it. LฬถFฬถGฬถ ๐—Ÿ๐— ๐—ฃ๐—š #Passover
The message of Resurrection Day (a.k.a. #Easter) is all about the greatest good overcoming the greatest evil. It's a true story of evil apparently triumphing over good for a time, only for good to rise from the ashes and dominate forever after. We're living through another story like that right now. Bitcoin keeps dying and CBDCs are on the way, but Bitcoin keeps coming back, and CBDCs and those pushing them will fail, as all evil always does eventually. So no matter what happens, keep the faith, and hodl on.
