This poem hung in my room as a child because it hung in the Detroit Red Wings locker room in the 90's and has stayed with me my entire life: ⚡️⚡️⚡️ If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t, It is almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost; For out in this world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are; You’ve got to think high to rise. You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win the prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can! Poem by Walter D. Wintle

"What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" - Matthew 16:26

Could it be any more obvious that Bitcoin in self custody is the only way that there’s going to be real adoption and suffocate the old system? I mean, who are we fooling at this point?

I love when markets are in chaos. Anyone else feel the same way? 👀🤷🏼‍♂️

You can just do things. Stop asking for permission.

🚨PSA: for anyone who cares about freedom - Good thing George Washington didn’t give up when the King sent his troops over to stop him from gaining his freedom. “Aw shucks. Guess it was fun while it lasted. Pack it in, boys.” Life is all the story you tell yourself. If you tell yourself, the government is going to “stop Bitcoin” then guess what’s going to happen? If you tell yourself that individual freedom and liberty is our birthright then guess what will happen? See how this works 👀 We are the stories we tell ourselves. Bitcoin cannot be stopped itself. The only way Bitcoin can be stopped is through human psychological operations perpetuating this kind of attitude and defeatist mentality. 🫡

I just spent 100 minutes with Jeff Booth. 🚨 Here's 8 of the 30-40 moments that blew my mind. Just when I thought I'd heard it all from him over 5+ years...🤯 - “Every dollar in existence must eventually be accounted for in Bitcoin.” - “Bitcoin is not an asset, it’s a protocol that is repricing every asset on Earth.” - “This transition is happening with or without you. Your only choice is how much of you participates in it.” - “The risk isn’t moving into Bitcoin. The risk is staying where you are.” - “You don’t need to wait for everyone to move. You can live entirely in the honest system today.” - “Every step you take toward Bitcoin makes your life easier. Every step back into fiat makes it harder. You can change the system by simply choosing to stop feeding the one that’s enslaving you.” - “All Bitcoin does is measure exponential productivity honestly.” - “It’s not one half of every trade. It’s all trade, because Bitcoin becomes the unit everything measures against.” @Jeff Booth thanks as always for your time to this community. 🙏🏻 Our Sponsors who support bitcoin-only products, services, media, and content: @SoapMiner @Bitcoin Trading Cards @npub1s0vt...pq6j @Tony | thebitcoinway.com ⚡️ @The Bitcoin Way @Stamp Seed @James @npub1qqgs...7wtx Edited by @nilli studio

“We pledge to each other, our lives our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” IYKYK 👀😉

Individuals are innocent until proven guilty. Governments are guilty until proven innocent. Don’t confuse the two. 🍻

HODLing Bitcoin is the monetization of patience, conviction, knowledge, and humility. The single best use of your time defunding the corrupt legacy debt-based system.
