 Lt. Dan was a grifting day trader. Lucky but not good. 

The retarded Forest was the true coiner. And HODLer. 

Be like the retard. Not the grifting, legless, suicidal maniac who used high leverage to make some $$$. https://image.nostr.build/f5652e158d9ca7b0dd5b92aaee52f2e324c48fff207febd908cfbf6052e70476.jpg  
 Astana, Kazakhstan. 

Seems nice. Good place for a BTC meetup at some point. https://image.nostr.build/d996b6ae8fb405d97a1ea79c82235c6866cd1e7268e72bc2ee8af772b3269e26.jpg  
 🤔😎🏆🚀👀👀👀 
 My friends thought I was crazy when I talked about bitcoin 10+ years ago…
My friends thought I ... 
 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐Waaaaait a minute. Just wait a minute here. 
 Start doing something. 

Then do more. 
 Ok. ✅ done. 
 The rates & inflation game season is upon us. 
So much fun. Better than any movie or show (except Invincible & a few others that are great). 
Not having to give a shit either way makes it even better. 
2024:
Rates go higher✅
Rates go lower✅
Rates unchanged ✅
Inflation turns hyper either way IMO. 
BTC loves exposing liars & game players. FAFO. 
 Nostr is my safe space  
 Ohh we can change that quickly. 
Safety is death. There are no safe spaces. 
 A healthy fear of God is a very good thing. 
A healthy skepticism of your fellow man is an extremely good thing. 

Walk tall.  Head high. Tell the truth.  Stack some BTC & humbly thank God for your chance to live during these times. 
Fucking amazing times to be alive. 
 🎯🎯🎯
Gratitude. 🙏 
 Reggie Ledoux is the real philosopher 😂

That’s a beautiful statement u sent. Awesome message. 
 Sorry.  The last line I left off added now. 

“Except pickleballers”. 

God speed fren. 
 holy shit!  I have never seen this Hal Finney quote.  It’s exactly what I’ve thought #Bitcoin... 
 From 2010. 🤯
Hal was a rock star. 
 I saw that. Yes. Amazing little clip. 
By the time kids are old enough to get a checking account, they will be like wtf is that?  I’ve already been using BTC for 5 years now. 
 Your kids kids will probably live in the world you’d like to. 
Gotta live in reality fren. Or you’ll go crazy. 
 I do it with my kids & nieces/nephews. 
“The Crazy BTC guy” don’t look so crazy & these bull cycles draw some really good interest from fence sitters. Even in your own family. 
My daughter wants to visit El Sal with me this year too. 
 🎯🎯🎯🎯
We don’t disagree. 
 Where my positive optimists at? Need more forward looking optimistic people to follow. 
 Same. But LFG. I think. 
GFY everyone. 
Peace be with you too. 
But fuck off. 
In peace. ✌️ 
 Why am I hoping for a shark attack?
I need help sometimes. My brain needs help. 
 “Bitcoin will be the high-powered money that serves as a reserve currency for banks that issue their own digital cash. Most Bitcoin transactions will occur between banks, to settle net transfers. Bitcoin transactions by private individuals will be...rare.” – Hal Finney, December 2010
🧐✅🧐🤔🚀🎯

This is exactly what Saylor is alluding to as well. And it seems extremely plausible. 

Real world view vs fantasy world thinking. 
 Agreed. Fractional reserved banking could be a death blow. 
I was & still am concerned about that with the ETF’s. Fractional holdings in reserves changing percentages could  significantly hurt BTC. 
 The inter web. 
 🎯 
 Maybe.  Yes. And that’s fine. 
Generations from now things may be very different but this seems like the most likely road, for now (next 100+ years or so). 
 Saylor is alive & speaking in today’s world. Hal was pontificating about a possible future. 
They are not as opposed as it seems. 
Saylor has to be careful with his words. 
 Like Andreas he was pulled into a vortex of healthy insanity.
He devoured BTC. For some the light was too bright to ignore early on.  Smart for sure. Curiosity leads to brilliance. 
 Cash app is probably the way to go for onboarding those completely new to Bitcoin. It’s the app... 
 I agree. They can also move their “banking” there too. Checking/Savings visible & then you have this BTC thing too. 
 Coinbase Casino burns down this cycle. Not the ETF custody side of the house though. That survives.  But the shitcoin casino is FA/FO time soon. IMO. 

Swan, Strike, CashApp, River & BTC only sites survive & thrive. 

I say this because I’ve orange pilled the nicest older couple that walks in my neighborhood every night.  They won’t figure out self custody. The ETF was recommended for their retirement & I said to use CashApp to buy some directly & hold there. 

We need better on ramps for certain types of users. 
 Alright they say there will be clouds to the east, so new plan will be to go southwest to watch t... 
 Have you looked in the mirror is a while?
Believe us, it’s a big deal. 
 No he has not. Stop. 🛑 
 If you don’t understand what he’s saying or why I really can’t help you. 
Stop being retarded. 
BTC isn’t a viable MOE in our lifetime & most likely the next. Grow the fuck up. 

Buh Buh we kill dollar. Buh Buh. Live in the real world. Its better. 
 Checkers vs Chess. 

Low time preference vs high. 

Dollar ain’t going anywhere in your lifetime brother. Or your kids.  And that’s fine. 
 Disrupt or replace?  
You can buy shit with BTC today. Go for it.  Not what I meant & I worded it incorrectly with “viable MOE”. My bad. 

I’m referring to replacing the dollar. BTC as reserve currency.   That’s what he’s referring to as well. 
 Last I checked cable tv still exists as well as the internet. 
 Good points. As a Westerner I do struggle mightily with the actual global implications & use. I understand it but don’t live in that world. 
BRICS changes things a lot. 

My ultimate argument on Saylor is that he’s saying what needs to be said right now. Come at this with a machine gun & bad things can happen. He’s playing a longer game here.

 Wait some one said they are about to cut the #bitcoin in half. What the hell! 
 🥱 
Take this crap to Reddit. 
 The #nostrverse is knocking my 🧦🧦 off 
 Socks are for cucks. 
You’re better off. 
 Nice early Sunday dinner tonight with my daughter home from school for the day. 
Steak - filets & NY Strip. I’ll cut into large slices so everyone gets a taste of both. 
Nice big baked potatoes. 
Little garlic bread, just a taste. 
Sliced white onion, red peppers (the best pepper color) & zucchini grilled. 
👌👌👌👌👌😎🏆 
 You absolutely could be right here.  Literally nobody knows. That makes it fun.  Those that claim they do are amusing. Like ball tingle people. 🤡 
 No. No, we cannot. 
 Wife just bathed both dogs. Mayhem. Complete chaos & mayhem. 
And clean dogs. 🐕 
 They’re fuckin nuts. 
 How’d you do it?  Is the tomato soup thing a thing?  Or do I have that wrong? 
 Good to know. We dealt with this years ago for one of our little guys who got face sprayed 3 times over 3 days. He liked it I think. Kind of a freak. 
 🧐 
 nostr:npub10chlkc62tk7yr5m9qjc2u7rs3ufhhrq8yukeey0c5lysqkp2gumq93mnex doesn’t have what it take... 
 Yup. 👍 
 Rewatched The Wire months back. Before serious wokeness hit the world, they still made this badass character a pole smoker. I forgot how bad it’s always been. 
How did we let that happen? https://image.nostr.build/7bfec828dda2135bb3439f8b5dd1b113883ee776d67d1de643b8e566c9a0d30b.jpg  
 Fake news. 
 Re-run was my favorite 1980’s actor. 
 Better than a hell thread. This may do it but I’m on the tennis courts in 3 hours so have to pass. 
 Nothing reminds me more of how much I hate the government than tax filing season. 
 Grow up. Adults pay taxes. Figure out the system & make it work for you like winners do. Stop crying. 
Or move to a tax free place to live. They’d love to have you. 
 Good morning Mark ☕️ 
 Carlin was a cuck. The Carlin love is embarrassing.  
How many houses did Georgie own?  They let idiots like him rant like a homo, as long as he kept his ponytail & was a good boy. 
 You don’t like German cars 👀👀👀🧐🤔 
 👌 
 Speak English. Not Canuck. 
 Someone told me, that if you're being attacked by a dog you should grab their two front legs and ... 
 I’d rather see the person injured than the dog. What kind of post is this?  Be better clown. 🤡 
 If Elon Musk really unblocks the Brazilian accounts the emperor might ban Twitter in Brazil. Will... 
 No. 
 GM 
 Meh. Maybe I love them. Who knows. Who really knows. 
 SOMETHING MAGICAL IS HAPPENING IN NOSTR

I CAN FEEL IT

GM 
 Nope. That’s just indigestion. Try pure baking soda. It’s helpful. 
 Write something that tells me you're not fiat. 
 I know who Jimmy Song is.
