One dude who found bitcoin - studied BTC - bought BTC and now found NOSTR.
The market does not value you for being conscious. It values you for what your consciousness can produce that cannot be obtained more cheaply elsewhere. #bitcoin
Have you noticed what happens when you stop reacting?
When you quit explaining yourself, something powerful shifts. People suddenly lose their control over you—almost immediately. And it’s fascinating to watch.
They don’t actually need your silence. What they need is your reaction—your defensiveness, your desperate attempts to be understood, your emotional outbursts. That’s what they feed on. They thrive on that energy.
When you stop giving it to them, they have nothing to work with. Nothing to manipulate. Nothing to use against you.
Some people unconsciously structure their entire relationships around provoking reactions from others. It gives them a sense of power, of importance. They need you upset to feel in control.
The moment you stop playing that game, you take all of the power away—not by fighting hard, but by not fighting at all.
It’s not about winning arguments. It’s about recognizing which ones aren’t even worth having. #bitcoin #money #hardtruths
Did you lose friends when you built the lifestyle you have nowadays?
I wouldn’t say I lost friends, but my friend circle has changed a bit. When you reach a certain level, you want to keep being inspired. Personally, I get inspired by hanging out with certain people who have a certain level of energy.
Some of my older friends don’t share my vision of the future. So no, I didn’t lose friends, but the people I hang out with on a daily basis have been changing over the years.

I think the Trump administration wants Bitcoin and gold to go way higher and faster than most people can even fathom. The reason why is something called the Cantillon Effect. Basically, what happens is as we print more money—since the U.S. has to keep printing more money as the reserve currency of the world—we want to send money out to the world and also get GDP to grow.
The problem is that this creates inflation, and citizens don’t like that. So how do we get money into the system to grow the economy without causing massive inflation or pricing millennials out of homes? They can’t buy stocks, and everyone’s mad at the boomers and all these types of things.
Well, remember Bitcoin is the most sensitive to liquidity. So, if Bitcoin becomes a liquidity sponge and soaks up the majority of that liquidity, we could see Bitcoin go up by 10x, while real estate might only go up by 10–15%, and the S&P 500 might also only go up by 10–15%. That could help hold prices down.

I don’t care what the government buys or doesn’t buy.
They are $37T in debt with $4T in revenue, not exactly the organization I want to take financial advice from.
I’ll stay my path and build my own SBR. #bitcoin

When you find BITCOIN herewith is what happens..
Intellectual loneliness isn’t about craving “deep conversations” over herbal tea. It’s about realizing how rare it is to find someone who doesn’t short-circuit the moment a thought has more than one layer. It’s noticing that most people don’t want to understand — they just want to win the gold medal in the Being Right Olympics. It’s watching friends build their entire belief system from a headline, a TikTok dance, and something Karen from Facebook shared in 2017.
It’s the awkward pause after you say something that doesn’t match their mental IKEA instruction manual for reality. And no, it’s not that you think you’re smarter than everyone — it’s just exhausting having to dumb yourself down so you don’t trigger the mental equivalent of the Windows 95 blue screen.
Nobody tells you this: once your brain stretches, small talk doesn’t just bore you — it feels like your soul is stuck in an elevator with bad hold music. You’re not searching for “smart” people anymore. You’re searching for people who haven’t outsourced their thinking to Instagram Reels.

The future will likely reward those who can bridge human wisdom with AI capability, not those trying to compete with machines at what machines do best. #bitcoin
Any technology that necessitates heavy capital expenditure and requires returns to be earned
over an extended period is always going to be a high-risk undertaking –
unless, that is, there is some form of protection against competition...
BITCOIN has the difficulty adjustment.. what does AI have? #bitcoin
Im at that stage in my life where lots of people come to me for career advice.
They ask me which career to focus on, which company to apply to and how to invest.
My advice is always the same, regardless of what question they ask me.
Study Bitcoin and AI like your life depends on it..
Because it fucking does!! #bitcoin
Whether it's on X or in leisurely social settings, more and more, I've noticed that as crypto prices rise a kind of hubris emerges with it that ridicules the nine-to-five as a form of mindless slavery. In seemingly innocent ways, work is reduced to a hamster wheel of futility in the form of memes and posts that mock the daily grind.
This cynicism is not only immature but profoundly disrespectful to the generations who toiled to build the world we inhabit. From our parents’ quiet sacrifices to the countless hands that shaped our cities, roads, and institutions, work is in fact the backbone of human progress.
In this essay, I argue that work, when approached as a form of service, is actually a noble act of worship that honours life, and that the disillusionment fuelling such ridicule stems not from work but from a broken monetary system—fiat currency eroded by inflation and mismanagement. By embracing sound money like Bitcoin and gold, we can restore justice to the rewards of labour, ensuring that effort endures in value as it does in spirit.
The Nobility of Work as Service
Work is not merely a means to an end; it is a profound expression of human purpose. My parents, like many, rose each morning to provide for our family, their steady effort a testament to love and duty. Their labour was not a mindless sprint on a wheel but a deliberate act of service—to us, to their community, and to a greater good. This aligns with the principle, articulated in many spiritual traditions, that work performed in the spirit of service is akin to worship. The Bahá’í writings, for instance, elevate work to a sacred act:
“It is made incumbent on every one of you to engage in some occupation… and to consider it as a means of nearness to God.”
This perspective reframes labour as a bridge between the material and the spiritual, where effort becomes a way to honour the life bestowed upon us.
Worship, in its deepest sense, is not confined to rituals or prayer; it is the act of aligning one’s actions with purpose and gratitude. The philosopher Simone Weil spoke of attention as the purest form of prayer, suggesting that to focus fully on a task—whether crafting a table or balancing accounts—is to engage in a sacred act. When we work with intention, we cultivate our talents, heed our calling, and contribute to a world that thrives on mutual effort. This is not drudgery but a noble pursuit. To dismiss work as meaningless is to overlook its role in shaping character and society, a perspective that betrays both ignorance and ingratitude for those who laboured before us.
The Disillusionment with Fiat Money
In my view, the cynicism surrounding work masks a deeper discontent—not with labour itself but with a system that undermines its rewards. For decades, workers have poured their energy into earning wages, only to see their savings eroded by inflation, a silent tax imposed by fiat currencies like the pound or dollar. Fiat money, untethered from any fixed standard, is subject to debasement through arbitrary money printing and reckless fiscal policies.
As economist John Maynard Keynes warned, “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.” This erosion of value feels like a betrayal of effort, fuelling the sentiment that work is a trap.
The roots of this disillusionment lie in systemic flaws. Central banks, in their attempts to stimulate economies, often print money to fund deficits or bailouts, diluting the purchasing power of every dollar earned. Add to this the age-old tendency toward warfare, which diverts resources and inflates costs, and the result is a currency that fails to reflect the justice and fairness labour deserves. The philosopher Karl Marx, while perhaps flawed in his prescriptions, astutely critiqued systems that alienate workers from the fruits of their labour. Today, that alienation manifests not in ownership of production but in the diminishing value of wages saved over time.
The Case for Sound Money: Bitcoin and Gold
If work is to be honoured, its rewards must endure. This brings us to the case for sound money—currencies like gold and Bitcoin, which resist arbitrary debasement. Gold, valued for millennia, is finite (at least on Earth) and cannot be conjured at will. Its stability has made it a store of value across cultures, from ancient empires to modern markets. Bitcoin, a digital counterpart, operates on a decentralised network with a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins, immune to centralised manipulation. As economist Saifedean Ammous argues in The Bitcoin Standard, “Bitcoin… enforces a monetary policy of predictable scarcity,” aligning with the principle that money should reflect the effort it represents.
Both gold and Bitcoin embody justice in their design. They are not subject to the whims of policymakers or the inflationary pressures of war and mismanagement. By preserving value, they ensure that a worker’s effort today retains its worth tomorrow, respecting the dignity of labour. This is not to say they are flawless—gold is cumbersome, Bitcoin volatile—but they offer a framework where the rewards of work are not eroded by forces beyond one’s control. To honour work is to demand a monetary system that upholds fairness, where the sweat of one’s brow is not diminished by the stroke of a central banker’s pen.
Reclaiming Work’s Purpose
The ridicule of work as a hamster wheel is a symptom of a deeper problem—a world where effort feels disconnected from reward. Yet, this is not a reason to scorn labour but rather to reform the systems that undermine it. By viewing work as an act of service and worship, we reconnect with its intrinsic value. The carpenter who builds a home, the teacher who shapes minds, the nurse who heals—these are not hamsters but architects of a better world. As the sociologist Max Weber noted, work ethic is a cornerstone of societal progress, binding individual effort to collective flourishing.
For me, reflecting on my parents’ sacrifices, for which I can never express enough gratitude and respect, I see work as a legacy of love and resilience. Their efforts, like those of countless others, built the schools, hospitals, and roads we take for granted today. To mock this is to dishonour not just them but the very foundation of our lives. Instead, we must celebrate the pursuit of usefulness—finding our calling, honing our skills, and contributing to a world that demands our best. And we must advocate for a monetary system that respects this effort, one where value endures as surely as the fruits of our labour.
Work is not a curse but a calling, a sacred act of service that binds us to each other and to the divine gift of life. The cynicism that paints it as futile stems from a broken system, where fiat money betrays the worker by eroding their rewards. By embracing sound money like Bitcoin and gold, we can restore justice to labour, ensuring that effort is met with lasting value. Let us reject the shallow ridicule of work and instead honour it as the noble pursuit it is—a testament to our parents, our predecessors, and the potential within us all to build a world that reflects our deepest values, ideals and highest aspirations.
Thoughts?? #asknostr #bitcoin #soundmoney #hardmoney
Learnt a valuable lesson today.. varsity buddy who was very close when we heard about BTC at $4.75 in 2013… we’ve kinda kept in touch and remained friends.. he just sold his business and wanted some advice.. made an appointment for 4pm.. at 6.30pm he hadn’t arrived. Guess what… no advice and no friendship. Disrespect goes along way once you understand how the world works via BTC!!! So good luck to him. #bitcoin

The EQ of a Sugar-Crazed Toddler
You’ve met them. They’ll interrupt your pitch to flex their title, but ask them to handle a team conflict, and they freeze like a deer in headlights. Emotional intelligence? Zero. They can’t read a room, can’t handle feedback, and think “empathy” is a new AI tool. Instead of being straight-up about what they don’t know (or can’t do), they hide behind vague promises like “we’ll revisit this in the next sprint” or “let’s align on the optics.” Translation: they’re stalling because admitting “I’m out of my depth” might crack their fragile LinkedIn bio. #fiatiscancer #linkedin #bullshit
Hot take: People who clap when the plane lands are the same ones who think pineapple on pizza is a war crime but will happily slather their burgers in ketchup, which is just tomato syrup for cowards.
Look, if you’re clapping for a pilot doing their job, you might as well give a standing ovation to your barista for not spitting in your latte. It’s called baseline competence, not a Broadway performance. And don’t get me started on the pineapple haters—y’all are out here acting like tropical fruit is Satan’s garnish, but you’ll drown your fries in a sauce that’s basically sugar pretending to be a vegetable. Pick a lane, you culinary hypocrites! Meanwhile, society’s crumbling because we’re too busy arguing over pizza toppings while AI’s out here learning to write better love letters than us. Wake up, sheeple, the robots are coming for your hearts and your shitty taste in condiments! #ai #data #bitcoin
