"Trials make our faith grow stronger; Truth is nobler than a crown. We will ₿rave the tempest longer Tho the world upon us frown." - Robert B. Baird

My 13-year-old son broke his arm recently when he fell backwards while roller skating. Amazingly, his hand didn't change color, he can still move it, and the pain is only a 1 or 2 out of 10 when at rest, and a 3 or 4 when he tries to move it. Fortunately, I made a new friend last year, @Alpha Numaro, at my meetup, #BitcoinChatt, who uses natural methods to heal this kind of trauma. No fiat "medicine" or fiat "food"; all healthy and sound techniques. And best of all: he accepts #Bitcoin I wrestled some in my mind whether to spend some bitcoin or use my credit card; I want to stack sats, but I also want to encourage Bitcoin adoption. In the end, my desire for a circular Bitcoin economy won out, and I paid with sats. We've had a lot of time to stack sats, and we shouldn't stop (I'll be replacing those sats as soon as I have enough fiat 😉). But if we want to see a world on the Bitcoin standard, we need to lead by example.

I can personally attest that this is true. Agree, @AZmako? 😁

"Men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." - Lehi

"Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." 1 Samuel 7:12 #Bitcoin is my Stone of Help, my constant reminder that God is watching over us, and we have only gotten this far because of Him.

I've been revisiting the eagle prophecy in 2 Esdras 11-12, and all I gotta say is 𝘸𝘰𝘸! The next few years are gonna be 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘥! A quick overview of what lies ahead, in chronological order, based on my current understanding of the prophecies of Ezra, Daniel, and John: - Current US President not finishing his term, for whatever reason - Next 2 presidents each almost taking office, but being removed at the last minute - America taken over by a globalist tyrant - Fall of that globalist tyrant - America splitting in half, each half run by a globalist tyrant - The leaders of both halves failing - Establishment of world government and the "Great Reset" - Rise of the Anti-Christ - Fall of the world government and the Anti-Christ - Rise of the political Kingdom of God This final point will still be a while before Jesus' Second Coming. Also, this list is notably missing any kind of "tribulation" or "rapture". I hope you're prepared.
