Listen more, talk less. More gratitude, less judgement. Be present. These are my goals every year. Happy New Year Nostr.

Bitcoin is about owning, not owing. In both the economic sense and the deepest philosophical sense.

Any aspect of your life where you aren’t inconveniencing yourself against societal norms is probably killing your mind, body, or soul. The default setting of modern society is total annihilation of the individual. Pretty crazy huh.

In a free market, life should be getting better and better as we compete to provide more value. Celebrating gold’s stability in real purchasing power or putting gold in the same bucket as Bitcoin is a harmful idea to spread. Especially in the early stages of the A.I. transition where only Bitcoin can absorb the rapid productivity advances ahead. I want my family’s life to get better. Not just stay the same. Bitcoin is not digital gold. Bitcoin is not money. Bitcoin is Bitcoin.

HIGHER or lower, who cares. I’m here for the vibes. @Ben Justman🍷

If money is information and 75% of economic activity within a system is controlled by the state, you can reasonably conclude that 75% of all communication within that system might be a psyop designed to preserve power and control. It might not be explicitly planned that way, but rather a result of cascading incentives. I don’t think this is scary. I think it is freeing. Because it means we’re not crazy, the control system is crazy. And we have the tools to disengage.

Once you deeply understand Bitcoin, you must take one of two paths. Both are painful. 1. Perpetual pain. Deny truth and live with cognitive dissonance that withers you away to nothing both mentally and physically. 2. Temporary pain. Mold your reality to match the deep truth you now understand. This will create change and friction in every part of your life but on the other side is integration and higher consciousness.

When Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the world as an anonymous being, completely vanished, never to be heard from again, forever removing their physical body from the world… We weren’t left with a person to debate, to disparage, to corrupt, or to annihilate when confronted with the profound truth they revealed. We were forced to sit with that truth, contend with it, and act in relation to it. Because the revealer of truth was intangible, out of reach, yet ever present in the zeitgeist. We were forced to confront ourselves within, not some fleshly corrupted “other”. It revealed the truth within us despite a world full of lies. Because the change isn’t in others. The change isn’t Bitcoin. The change is in us. Thank you, Satoshi.

Saylor told you Bitcoin's killer app is digital credit huh?

Bitcoin is the asylum for mankind.

Saylor saying Bitcoin’s killer app is digital credit is very cringe. I repeat, these systems are incompatible.

Zero problems that people are trying to solve through politics and the political process can be solved in a system built on fiat currency. Bitcoin is The Political which decapitates the evil head of the old system and allows problems to actually be solved in a meaningful way. Because solutions are no longer produced via theft and coercion.

This Jordan Peterson quote about pursuing truth has really stuck with me the last few years. “If you say the truth and nothing else, you will have an immense adventure as a consequence. You will not know what is going to happen to you, but you have to let go of clinging to the outcome. You have to let go. The truth will reveal the world the way it is intended to be revealed. The consequence for you will be that you will have the adventure of your life. The other part of that ethos - which makes pertect sense to me and I cannot see how it can be any other way - is that whatever makes itself manifest as a consequence of the truth is the best possible reality that could be manifest, even if you cannot see it.”
