If you don't know about Ezra's prophecy of the nation that would be represented by an eagle, you should probably look into it, especially after today's events. It might all be invalidated on 20 January 2025, but if Biden is no longer our president any time before that date, then the prophecy will be verified (again), and we will be very close to the complete collapse of the United States, and the rise of the "lion" kingdom. It might be worth looking into. 2 Esdras 11-12

I just returned from a wedding, and gave the happy couple a copy of "21 Questions" as a wedding gift: The bride was orange-pilled a few years ago, but her now-husband hasn't looked into Bitcoin much. I included a sticker from @bitcoin.rocks so they can continue learning after they're done with the book.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the first, last, and ultimate decentralized protocol. "𝘣𝘜𝘵 𝘑𝘦𝘚𝘶𝘚 𝘪𝘚 𝘵𝘏𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘕𝘵𝘌𝘳! 𝘚𝘰 𝘐𝘵'𝘚 𝘯𝘖𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘊𝘦𝘕𝘵𝘙𝘢𝘓𝘪𝘡𝘦𝘋!" The point of decentralization is to not have a single point of failure. The Pharisees also thought Jesus was the center of what they saw as His cult, known back then as simply "The Way," and believed that if they had Him killed, that would be the end of it. Quite the contrary, it only solidified the Gospel. Not because they "created a martyr"; that only solidified Jesus' teachings in the minds of His disciples (which was important, but not part of the Gospel itself). But it was because Jesus had to be killed to rise again and break the bands of sin and death for all of us. His resurrection was the finishing touch to His Father's Gospel protocol. What is this protocol exactly? To some members of a couple lost tribes of the House of Israel, (some of His "other sheep" - see John 10:16), Jesus taught: "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦.

That is the protocol. Jesus has a central role in it, the way cryptography does in Bitcoin, but that doesn't make it centralized. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂. You can think of it like each individual who turns their life over to Christ becoming a "node", with a full copy of the protocol contained within them. Jesus warned those lost tribes, though, that some people would try to pass off more or less than this protocol as His doctrine: "𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘬; 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮." There are many who claim that repentance or baptism aren't necessary, because God's grace is freely available to all. Many others say that in addition to all that Jesus taught, things like baptism must be done through men who have been given authority by other men, and then that our salvation must be confirmed by our works. Both groups have an element of truth, but neither one is totally true: The first declares less than what Jesus taught, the second declares more, therefore they are both built on a sandy foundation, and not on the rock of Jesus and His Gospel. This isn't to say, though, that the above quote is all the scripture we need! All other true scriptures delve deep into Jesus' Gospel, to explore and expound on it, but they never remove or add anything to it. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘥 to all the good that can be said about Jesus and His Gospel. As John said: "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩, 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯." So, if you're a Bitcoiner who also believes in Jesus, and don't go through any bank to access your money or a custodial bitcoin service to interact with the protocol, why would you go through a church or fallible (even if well-intentioned) human being to access God? Like Bitcoin, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to make you a sovereign heir over 𝘢𝘭𝘭 God's works (Romans 8:16-17). You don't need to go through anyone else to achieve that level of literally infinite sovereignty. You only need to follow Yeshua Hamashiach Himself, directly, with no intermediaries or trusted third parties. Just you and Him. In a very real sense, this is The Way.

The teenage boys at my church made their own pizzas for their weekly activity tonight. They were celebrating #BitcoinPizzaDay and didn't even know it! 😁 (Well, they 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 it, because I told them about it, but none of them seemed to care. 😅)

My 12-year-old son just now: "If all babies are like Gabriel [his 4-month-old brother], then I want to have LOTS of kids!" It's simple wins like this that I cherish most. 😌

Dear Ohio State University students: @BTC Minstrel

Having grown up in a Christian household with conservative values, I was raised to never curse or use other kinds of crude language. And now, even though I know there's nothing wrong with saying words like "shit" (it's the most accurate word that could be used when translating one word in Philippians 3:8), I still find myself preferring to write "💩coins," rather than "shitcoins." Old habits die hard, I guess... Anyway, then I discovered Bitcoin, and you vulgar, crass, lovable bunch of misfits that use it. Those of my ultraconservative Christian upbringing might react to some of you the way the Pharisees and Roman soldier react to the dinner guests in the video clip below, but they're not my tribe. They're not my people. My tribe loves truth more than propriety. My tribe says what they mean and doesn't dance around it for fear of offending someone. My tribe used to be "the weak things of the world," but they are coming forth and breaking down "the mighty and strong ones." I've learned that when it comes to goodness, there are weightier matters than watching one's language and wearing a suit and tie. So if you're into Bitcoin for the revolution, to fix the world's problems for your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchilren, then I don't care who you were before you found it. Just like Christ, and everything else that's inspired by Him, Bitcoin will make you triumph over all the self-important cucks out there. I'm honored and overjoyed to be standing with you in this fight for freedom, truth, and everything good in this world. 🥂

The State: "This ought to scare those Bitcoiners..." [arrests Samourai devs] Bitcoiners: "Why you dirty rotten 🤬!!! We don't all like Samourai, but if you attack any of us, you attack all of us!" The State: "This ought to scare them even more!" [charges Roger Ver with tax evasion] Bitcoiners: "BAHAHA!!! 💩coiner got rekt! Taxation is theft and the state sucks, but finally some justice is being served! We hope you do Craig Wright next!"

I love the feeling of schadenfreude. 😁

There are some people who simply cannot be helped. My older brother, for example, who I always looked up to as a kid, thought #Bitcoin was stupid from the start, and said that in the future, everyone will create their own money. But I gave him 1/33rd of a bitcoin (3030303 sats) for his 33rd birthday in Dec 2015, and told him to write down his seed phrase, with hope that time would help change his mind. In 2017 I asked him if he had noticed Bitcoin's price. He said no, and that he had deleted the app I had told him to get. Me: "At least you still have your seed phrase, right?" Him: "Seed phrase?" Moral of the story: Bitcoin has a way of hastening natural selection. 😬😔

About a year ago, I heard about @Walletano and thought it was a very promising wallet. Only their custodial service was available, but they claimed their non-custodial and shared-custodial options were in development. But lately, it's been really hard to use. Not only has nothing come of their non-custodial and shared-custodial options, but it keeps giving error codes, Lightning transactions frequently get stuck in "pending" status for hours, and now, the wallet's server has crashed: My kids have been using Walletano since I first discovered it, but we're all really disappointed in how it has turned out. The majority of their sats are in a cold, on-chain, self-custody wallet, of course, but they want to move their "sats for spending" now, from Walletano to CoinOS. The only problem now is that it's proving extremely difficult to move sats out of their Walletano accounts. They can do small bunches at a time (usually 500-1000 sats), but doing that seemed to crash Walletano entirely. Word to the wise: Avoid Walletano.
