Legislation is public like open source software, but closed to contributors. The result is predictable. -loopholes and “bugs” everywhere -plenty of time to map exploits -almost no way for ordinary people to patch them This is how you get things like the fraud in Minnesota

If you’re not using ChatGPT to troll your family you’re missing out

Young men will read a 300-page book on how to act busy, act disinterested, act detached, act like they don’t care instead of just getting busy and becoming someone worth being attracted to. Most of that old dating advice boils down to this: -Don’t chase. -Don’t be needy. -Have your own life. -Have something else going on. All good advice for the most part. Those traits aren’t attractive because they’re performed. They’re attractive because they’re what naturally emerge when a man is actually working toward something meaningful. Purpose creates distance. Work creates busyness. Competence creates confidence. No acting required. Books like those popularized by Tucker Max showed men how to simulate those signals. And to be fair, they work to a certain extent. Of course, Tucker himself has since moved on to a very different message and is living his best life with a beautiful family! What’s interesting now is the shift. Two very influential, very different men come to mind. @AlexHormozi and @Cobratate are leading many young men towards a better path in their own ways. Building. Creating. Discipline. Legacy. Proof of work. So the point was never to ignore women or learn tricks. It was to build something real. The traits people try to fake naturally emerge from real work. And yes, I’m unapologetically tying this to Bitcoin. Fiat fakes the signal. Bitcoin is proof-of-work. Choose your standard.

There are so many young men in the world today focused on signaling value instead of creating it. The latter is much harder yet infinitely more rewarding.

Bitcoin adoption won’t scale through ideology alone. It scales when incentives align. When businesses use Bitcoin rewards to grow, they indirectly drive real consumer adoption. Rewards work because they fit existing behavior. While it would be amazing if more people paid with Bitcoin (and they will eventually), we don't necessarily need them to right this moment. Bitcoin can simply be a benefit of shopping at a particular business, not a decision. I wrote a short piece expanding on this idea, focused on earning Bitcoin through everyday spending instead of buying or spending it directly. At @Oshi Rewards we've explored and implemented both, but one is a much simpler path to "adoption"

For those still trying to understand why Bitcoin ≠ crypto: Gold ≠ metals But at least metals are useful enough to have a place on the periodic table of elements for all of eternity. 99.9% of crypto doesn’t have a place at your top shitcoin exchange for more than a year.

I don't exactly know what works. I'm not even sure if I know what doesn't work. But I do know that if I keep building I'll eventually find something that works better than I could have ever imagined.

It’s 2025 and most people are still inserting their NFC capable card to pay. Technology moves fast, humans usually don’t. Stay bullish about bitcoin payments, stay constructive, keep building, promoting, and pushing the envelope. But also taper expectations. Stay humble out there.
