I can't wait to be in bed every night before the Vegas parties start.

Las Vegas bound with over 75 pounds or baklava. I keep asking myself why I do this. In the moment I love it. I like feeding people, and it's great seeing new and familiar faces. I know you guys appreciate it. But holy hell is this gimmick played out. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I said last year was the last year, but here I am again. So ok, fine. One more time. Then it's off to other things , to truly become irrelevant. โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿงก

My dad found a copy of the menu from the donut shop diner he owned for over 35 years. Circa mid-90s. This is what was taken from us: image

Takeaways from the last 48 hours: -No one knows what's going on, least of all the ones claiming otherwise. -Everything is fake, unless you agree with it. -There is no room for nuance or critical thinking. People made up their minds long ago.

I stopped telling people to buy Bitcoin years ago. I'm not an investor. I don't want to manage a portfolio. I certainly don't want to advise others. I'm ok with all my eggs in one basket. Other assets will have their days. People will point to a specific timeframe and say "I told you so!" That's ok. Enjoy your time in the sun. Up or down, I'm a Bitcoin holder. It has changed my life for the better in every way. And it wouldn't have happened if I listened to everyone else's advice. I'll always do what I think is best. You should, too.

People who think freezing funds is ok are the true enemies of Bitcoin.

The normalization of gambling in all aspects of life, and at all ages, feels like the beginning of the downfall of society. The blackest of black pills. I refuse to participate. Bitcoin is no gamble. The orange pill is our best chance for the future.

I started playing Old School Runescape this year and I kinda dig it. I only play when I'm on my treadmill (which I use a lot more in the winter). Basically a solo player mmo that I can do at my own pace. Totally a vibe. I'm a gamer for life, but I certainly don't let games control my life like they did in my teens and early 20s. I love to play when I have the free time.

Want to expose your family members to Bitcoin? Don't send them to exchanges. Don't tell them to buy ETFs. Sell them sats for cash. Peer-to-peer transaction sent directly to their non-custodial wallet. The orange standard of Bitcoin experiences.

Random Wednesday thought: I've never been able to form deep friendships with dudes. Always the peripheral friend, but "bro-less" my entire life. Weirdly enough, I never had a problem with female companionship--romantic or platonic. I'm even married to my best friend, which is incredible. Such a strange position to be in.

The "appeal to OG" argument is weak. Time in Bitcoin doesn't necessarily make you more knowledgeable. It doesn't give more weight to your opinions. OGs can get stuck in their beliefs, detached from the reality of what Bitcoin is today vs what they thought it should be.
