I need an app that I can give my parents as a method of encrypted messaging in the event that AI is trying to spoof me and phish them for money
Any Nostr based apps that fit that use case?

Does this mean I am no longer an average pleb? And I going to make it one day because I just did things? nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u


I literally have no more cash available to buy more bitcoin
Dammit
The normies are starting to notice, you guys


“So your average bitcoin cost basis is over $120k?”
“Yes Dave”
“And now you want to sell all your bitcoin because the price is in the 90s?”
“That is correct Dave”
“And you’re asking me when is a good time to buy back in?”
“When 58k?”


Sentiment has never been worse yet I have never been more bullish
This is where the fun begins
This is genuinely how some people buy bitcoin and it’s hilarious


I’m realizing as I grow older that one of the greatest gifts my father gave me is media literacy.
I’m specifically talking about old school movies.
Being able to sharply quote a film from a previous generation or two gives you a level of credence with senior level colleagues that is otherwise unattainable . If you can quote or at least recognize films and TV that the old heads at your company know and love, they start to see you not just as a dumb kid , but as a dumb kid who was raised on a diet of culture they can relate to.
I can’t underestimate how far that goes in developing rapport with people much older than you. It’s really a magical thing . Even the most memorable and over quoted lines from older movies lands you major brownie points every time.
You’d be surprised how man millennials even can’t quote caddyshack, Ferris bueller, napoleon dynamite, Star Wars, you name it .
Whether he did it consciously or not, gotta hand it to my old man for putting me on a steady diet of classic American cinema from a young age
Got tickets to see the Rush reunion tour, I’m fucking hyped
Knowledge is sometimes a curse. I often find myself at the supermarket contemplating the “old world” that no longer exists , but we still live in, and the “new world” that is being born , of which we have yet to witness the full scope.
Nowhere is this stark difference in realities more evident than a supermarket or grocery store
Just today I saw:
-An elderly women (in her 70s easily) working as a cashier. Likely a prosperous career path when she was a teenager, I wonder if she works today out of boredom in retirement and a desire to leave the house, or out of necessity for survival, unable to live solely off her savings any longer, and without enough viable skills to compete in today’s job market
-A woman with young children clipping coupons for basic necessities. She battles fiat debasement every single day without knowing it, and may be just barely scraping by as it is, possibly unaware of just how much worse it could get
-An elderly man, also in his 70s , feeding a stack of tickets into a lottery machine. Perhaps living off a fixed income, this man is literally feeding his lifeblood into a gambling addiction. Maybe he’s a multi millionaire and can afford to do so, but is it more likely he’s also barely scraping by, and is feeding his limited and dwindling savings back to the beast that has already taken so much from him?
When I see these people, day after day, week after week, in my local store alone, I am reminded of the hundreds of millions of people just like them in my country, not to mention the billions like them around the world.
I don’t look upon these people with pity, or with disdain , thinking they are “uneducated” or “misinformed”. Quite the opposite . My heart goes out to them. I fear in my souls for them.
As the world sheds its skin of the old systems and institutions these people grew up in, and as technology beyond comprehension unveils itself daily , how will these people be affected? Their jobs, their loved ones, their safety, their mental sanity, their sense of meaning; all of these things will be on the table of uncertainty in the coming decades.
As bitcoiners , we find truth and purpose in our convictions through study and critical thinking . Even if we are dead wrong about the thesis of Bitcoin, the conditions from which it was born still exist; They are history, They already happened. So even if bitcoin as we know it fails, the endgame of the conditions of its creation will still happen, one way or another.
Not to mention AI, robotics , super computing , drone technology , and the digital panopticon of government surveillance; all breaking down our doors and barging their way into our society as we speak.
So when I’m at the store checking out with Apple Pay, using a credit card that rewards me with bitcoin and automatically withdraws to my ColdCard at a certain threshold, I no longer take pride in knowing that I am ahead of the curve.
A small part of me feels shame in knowing so many people are at risk of being left so far behind.
Always hard to go back to work when we hit new all time highs over a weekend
There’s a 401k salesman at my office today pitching his 401ks to the young hires here
It’s like listening to a snake oil salesman
He’s promising them 8-10% growth every year, not even mentioning that is not outpacing inflation.
“If you don’t know anything about investing , you can trust Vanguard”
Direct quote. Wow.
Who’s ready for the Dennis Porter nothing burger today?
I’ll take a double nothing patty with a side of nothing sauce , please
Anyone else at Riot Fest on Nostr or am I the only one?
It’s mind boggling how many people still smoke cigarettes habitually
I hate when I’m sick and have to skip out on lifting heavy at the gym
Lifting is a great source of mental clarity for me and it always makes me feel accomplished and better for the day, even if it’s a mediocre session
However it’s also good to listen to my body and give it the rest it needs
This is me just coping with skipping the gym because I’m congested and have a splitting headache, by the way😂
