side note…  in the late 70’s - mid 80’s my father was a toy salesman that called on independent pharmacies around the US.  I used to go out on the road with him when I was a little kid 
 all us first & second amendment loving,  #Bitcoin  “anarchists” are talking about Saylor’s recent comments… 

I’m not sure who some of ya thought Saylor was/ is but he’s never been one of us plebs.  his motives are not the same as ours, he has shareholders… 


“Michael Saylor is an American entrepreneur, co-founder, and EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN of MicroStrategy, a leading business intelligence company.  He is best known for his strong advocacy of Bitcoin, having transformed MicroStrategy into a major INSTITUTIONAL HOLDER of the cryptocurrency.” https://image.nostr.build/e8c609c3070917fc9606b7a25d96fd166df287bd43088e8dac5ea8131f8dcb87.jpg

 What’s your take on Vitamin supplements? #asknostr

for the past 25+yrs 
 20 year ago,  the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) launched on November 18, 2004

the price of gold was $400 an ounce at that time 

it was the first U.S. exchange-traded fund backed by physical gold, offering investors a way to gain exposure to gold prices without owning the metal directly

 🚨PSA

after 35 years of personal research, I can officially confirm that the green M&M’s are NOT, in fact, an aphrodisiac 

they’re just chocolate covered in crispy green dye

 your greatest risk is often taking no risk at all 
 the time is near 

over the past five years, 80% of #Bitcoin’s upward price movements have occurred within just 30 days

hold on to your butts!

 cost me $57 & 4.5hrs of my time to rent & fill a 17ft UHall to the very top & take all my 🌀 hurricane debris & a bit of my neighbors shit out to the city dump

I also billed myself $100 an hour for my labor https://image.nostr.build/5edbc838ad615ee7fbd1b37c28f386c92fc0e05f70a28d2bce302a62732b4b16.jpg

Always read the labels before use! 

just because a package looks like a wet wipe / butt wipe doesn’t mean it’s meant for your butt… trust me on this one https://image.nostr.build/ecdb399e1c51fb2fc346a5bf769e47143d25cf6abdcb6893d9346173dce974b6.jpg

 this is the rooftop bar sunset we deserve after being tortured by Mother Nature for the past month
🌬️🌊🌪️🌀
there’s nothing quite like a cold beer  at sunset to remind you that life’s storms are temporary 🍻 https://image.nostr.build/8731a70bf609f9a540670818371575b18df86e58f6a23b811f8481d670cb9543.jpg  
 this looks like a juicy spot to stack sats! 

I have far too much personal liability at the moment  🌬️🌀

but if I didn’t, I’d be stacking them sats 
 some big 50 mph+ wind gust coming through right now  🌬️🌀
heard some tree limbs popping

watching it roll through on the back porch with my fifth tequila & a stogie 

c’est  la vie https://image.nostr.build/95ed5ddc70f5f356f9d0eeb9dfe2a236255351190940daace7363cf06ecd8810.jpg  
 Millennials are the hero generation. 

I didn’t believe it myself for a long time, but it’s c... 
 I want it to be millennials… they deserve it. 
They’ve been through a lot of duress and trauma. But now, they have to step up.

Who do we really see stepping up? I know and work with some truly brilliant millennials. 
What I’ve observed, though, is that they give it their all for a short sprint, and then retreat.

Maybe they’re reserving their energy for a later attack. 
 Yea. I agree.  I was being dismissive & I should’ve been.  … LFG! 
 I’m locked up “🌀 hunkered down” here with my mother-in-law & she came in & said “dinner is ready” 
… it was 3pm https://image.nostr.build/254faa7173b661436fd56cbb7b46c76ec4fe1d0bfac4a2e36bb10a9ca402c781.jpg  
 I’ve secured my home, though that may ultimately be in vain, & evacuated my family to the north of the hurricane 🌀 

wishing my fellow Floridians, your families, & your homes all the best in the coming hours 

stay safe, and safe travels if you’re on the road 🫂 https://image.nostr.build/0f82069b05e5e6e45803bf4955e3bf9d4910ffc9c86cb6d957044c6d6c60c700.jpg  
 correct.  the white lines are the most intense part of the storm track but there will still be 40+mph winds & flooding all across the state. 
 it’s funny how two shots of Fireball can turn  “mandatory 🌀 evacuation” into “maybe I’ll just ride this thing out with a lawn chair & some cold beers” 
 the Second Amendment grants U.S. citizens the right to keep and bear arms

the Second Amendment serving as a safeguard for our First Amendment rights https://image.nostr.build/6d361bf2a8ef53e14880adb0cdc0b17d381faa3886e6cbc4ae481385bafe417c.jpg  
 yes.  I agree with that. 
we the people ultimately have the power in the United States.  
we are just no longer collectively willing to exercise said powers 
 the U.S First Amendment guarantees several fundamental rights:
