 Good morning 🤜💥🤛

I blame (and thank) @HODL & @walker last night’s decision to make an irresponsible smash buy.

Long-term, it was responsible as fuck. Give the episode a listen. Even if you love manatees and stuff.

 GM👊 
 🤜🤛 
 This was a great rip.  Best Hodl interview I've listened to in a while, and Walker's best show to date. 
 I guess I just need to talk with Hodl like once a quarter just to keep the vibes strong 
 It’s all downhill from this episode walker lol 
 🤣🤣🤣 
 Ya know, I didn’t realize until today that you’re the American Hodl from Twitter 😂 
 he'll give you one episode per kid you have 😂 
 😂😂 
 Talk about good incentives!! 
 Those god damn manatees 
 Using so much water all the time wtf 
 GOING TO LISTEN RIGHT NOW THE GOAT AMERICAN HODL 
 🥂 
 I did a big smash buy a couple days ago and managed to pick the local bottom at 60K. Feels good.

What's the line from the move .. "The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days.." :-)

BTW - I’m a boomer who went in “balls deep” in ‘21 and fucking proud of it. 

Love your perspective 🇺🇸HODL.

I hate Applebees too!

 Douglas Rushkoff has a really interesting talk on the concept of an "economic operating system". He covers a lot of thinking that is bitcoin adjacent, but also does an excellent job of diving into the how and why we got ourselves into this collective mess in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EnmH95016w 
 My brother in law sent me a rushkoff interview not too long ago. He had an interesting perspective. Definitely put his finger on the problem (fiat-driven consumption capitalism), but I couldn’t gauge where he was going for a solution. Has he offered any reflections on Bitcoin/does he understand it? 
 Rushkoff seems doubtful about Bitcoin, judging by some recent articles. I don't blame him, or anyone, for not holding on to hope when the people who are getting rich are going completely "Atlas Shrugged" about it and conferencing on remote islands.

When I think back on this interview, one of the things that comes to mind is the statement that family businesses (which tend to make everyone around them wealthy) out-perform corporations almost across the board, apart from boom cycles.
 
To connect those two thoughts, I would say that getting people like him on board is all about using the wealth and affluence afforded by holding Bitcoin to support one's local community and help pull others out of poverty. 
 So many top tier quotable moments in this conversation 
 You go Boston! We’re wicked smaat, aren’t we? 😜🤣 
 😂 that’s how we roll bahaha
