My wife finally got out to The Mayo Clinic to get advanced MRIs to try to determine the scope of her cancer. In the process, we found out that she has severely prolapsed intestines, AKA her small intestine has drooped down into the bottom of her abdominal cavity. A GI specialist with 20 years of experience said that it's the worst case he's ever seen. So, trying to figure out the mesothelioma is now on hold, she's on a liquid diet until she can get abdominal reconstruction surgery. The path ahead is daunting and uncertain, but at least after a year and a half of searching for answers, we finally have something that makes sense as to why she's had so much GI discomfort. If anyone out there has prayers to spare, we'll take everything we can get.

Financial power is always dangerous when concentrated in a few banks or governments, which is why Bitcoin’s decentralized ledger redistributes control.

Control of financial systems is more critical for governments that claim to champion freedom than for openly authoritarian regimes, which is why Bitcoin’s independence threatens them.

If anyone out there is close to Western North Carolina, come hang at this community initiative I created on September 18th! Would love to meet some other Bitcoiners. We could go out for a beer afterwards! https://orangepill.app.link/uPRSePUVhWb

If Musk ran nostr relays on starlink satellites and spaceX rockets it could disrupt telecom cartels and radically reshape free speech on Earth and potentially to moon or mars colonies. Imagine high speed nostr native global satellite phones. Am I being naive or could this be awesome?

I just discovered the Articles feature on Primal. Dope! No more Substack links from me on here, I'll just cross-publish. View article →

I put. a lot of work into this one. Share it with your normie friends who still think that fiat is money or when they put it in the bank it's still "theirs" and the banks are keeping it "safe". Or just read it and let me know what you think! ;)

I've finally set it in stone. September 18th I'll be hosting a lecture and a Q&A titled Introduction to Bitcoin: The Future of Money. I intend to record the session and post it for the world to see! Stoke is high.

Good morning, Nostr fam! Took these photos on my morning walk, soaking in the calm to steady my heart. Yesterday, my wife met with one of the top doctors in the U.S. for her condition. We’re facing a $10,000 MRI that insurance hasn’t approved yet, but we’re moving forward with faith, trusting it’ll work out—or we’ll fight for it later. This MRI could be a turning point, mapping out every trace of endometriosis and any cancer in her body. Since we married at 33 and 32, I’ve watched her health decline, never imagining our wedding day might’ve been her healthiest. Yet, I’m holding onto hope that this is the start of her healing journey. Wherever you are today, pause and give thanks for what you have—especially your health, the truest form of wealth. No day is promised, but every sunrise is a chance to rise, fight, and build something meaningful. Keep pushing forward. #Gratitude #Hope #Nostr

We are winning. #bitcoin

Going to install Opportunity Cost on my wife's laptop so that she randomly starts seeing satoshi prices next to dollar prices on everything. She is not tech savvy and will have no idea what's happening. Should I tell her it must just be a new browser update and it's a sign we're winning? Thanks @Marty Bent

I'm looking at getting two of the Hash Vortex S9 Space Heater Cases. I found two new Antminer S9's for $440 shipped with power supplies. I live in an old house and want to figure out how I can put in a WiFi smart plug to monitor temperature (one in each of two rooms) and a WiFi bridge for the miners to turn them on/off so that they're not running 100% 24/7. Does anyone have experience running this setup and can you help me figure it out? #bitcoin #mining

I teamed up our Huskies today. When Loba (the purebred) was younger, we used to mush all the time. She would pull me 3 to 5 mi on a longboard on pavement, or we would do 5 to 7 mi mountain biking and she would just kind of help out on the uphill sections. We got pretty good at staying together, and finding a good Pace. Olie, our younger Huskeroo (who is mixed with Blue Heeler), had never mushed before. Our leashes have a handle about 1 ft away from the harness, and I tethered them together with a carabiner. This gave them a 2-ft gap between them but made sure that they kept pace and kept together. It actually went incredibly well. Olie looks up to Loba and he follows her lead. They were able to figure it out really quickly and now I'm not feeling very tired but they are definitely pooped!
