 Scroll through all of your favorite Bitcoin influencers and search “microstrategy” or $MSTR on their page and observe the fanboying. 


We see you, you’re not fooling us.

 I’m not meant to be all things to all people. I find it very wrong when people have malicious intentions and try to manipulate others. I’m speaking my truth. 
 To all of you screaming $MSTR  from the rooftops. There’s an important lesson here: 👇

 Unpopular opinion: #MicroStrategy might wrap itself in enterprise software, but let’s be real….the only reason their stock has any hype is Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s entire power comes from decentralization. No CEOs. No boards. No lobbyists. If you’re riding with MicroStrategy, you’re putting your faith in a centralized corp that plays footsie with the WEF….the VERY parasites Bitcoin was built to reject. Self-sovereignty and censorship resistance? They couldn’t care less.

Bitcoin is about opting out of the broken legacy system, not hitching a ride with corporate stooges. The second you rely on a company with shareholders and boardroom agendas to push the Bitcoin narrative, you’ve already lost the plot. MicroStrategy’s mission? Corporate profits. Period. Not your freedom, not your sovereignty. Betting on them is like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse.

If you’re serious about Bitcoin, stack sats. Be your own bank. Don’t let centralized players like MicroStrategy dictate your financial destiny. Bitcoin is for the people…not corporate interests. Sovereignty means cutting the cord from all of that. If your plan involves some boardroom clown lobbying at the WEF, you’re missing the point.

Bottom line: Not your keys, not your #Bitcoin. 
 Satoshi eliminated COUNTER PARTY RISK. 

Appalled at how many have fallen to the $MSTR. 🥴

I went a little A-Wall on this 😂

 Your story is about to change. 

Your story is about to change so epically, it’s going to make your heart and head spin. All the time and effort you put into mastering yourself is about to satisfyingly pay off. 

The way your journey has been set up is a pure work of art; this next breakthrough is going to confirm that. 

Every ounce of magic in you is about to triple in size. 

Take a second to enjoy the present moment; it won’t be this way for much longer. 

You’re approaching the final steps of the tunnel, but you’re slowly realizing that the light you were chasing at the end of it always stemmed from within you. 

Be at peace. 

Your next chapter is going to leave a permanent smile on your face and a lifetime of joy in your soul. 🤍

 Feels strange, doesn’t it? This awkward in-between phase you’ve been passing through on the way to your next chapter. 

It’s a confusing period of your life where the only thing you’re sure of is that your soul is expanding to newer heights. 

You’ve been through periods like this in the past but something about this one just feels different. This one has your heart beating in urgency while your mind basks in calmness. This one has you reflecting more while saying a lot less. This one has you exercising your patience vigorously while the Universe bombards you with signs relating to your dreams. 

It’s like your spirit is being split in two as your new and old self fight over it. Fear keeps threatening to take control but you’re so much stronger than you used to be; that’s why you’re not going to let it. Ground yourself in the present repeatedly, no matter how uncomfortable it feels. 

Resistance will have you permanently stuck in a chapter that was meant to be temporary. Acceptance will allow you to naturally flow right through it. 

You’ve reached a very pivotal moment in your journey; you can either suppress your magic or revitalize it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of ascension.  🤍

 Happiness is a self declaration. It’s a choice. A mindset. It’s self love, trust, faith, and confidence in who you are; who (deep down) you’ve always been. It’s setting healthy boundaries, and choosing not to allow the opinions of others to negate what you know is best for YOU. Some spend a lifetime trying to figure this out. 

Either we step up and declare that we are going to make our lives happen, or we sit back and watch life pass us by. Fear of living will never serve you, and most of the time, a risk led by your spirit and heart will never steer you wrong. Cheers, y’all! 

Just be Happy! It will always work itself out.

 Since when has impossible ever stopped you? 
 You’re not going to run out of miracles anytime soon. 
 Not a dry eye in the house. My baby is FINALLY home safe far away from the mountains of the Carolinas with her momma. 

My heart goes out to the thousands of people displaced and impacted by #HurricaneHelene.

And to the hundreds of earth angels out on the ground in the Carolina’s, GA, and TN helping our people, and the thousands more donating…from the bottom of my heart… thank you. Thank you for helping my daughter, thank you for serving and rescuing our people, and thank you for showing true grace and heroism. 🙏🏼🤍

 I’m sitting here, finally letting it all out tonight, after a week of holding it together. In less than 12 hours, I’ll be seeing my daughter, Lexi, for the first time since she packed up and headed out after high school graduation in June. Her little sister Lu and I moved up to Wisconsin for my job, while Lexi, full of life and fire, made her way to the Carolina mountains. I can still see her face, glowing with hope, faith, dreams, that fierce determination of hers. My girl believed in herself with everything she had. She was pure spirit, pure light, unbreakable.

Until Helena broke her. And watching her spirit break shattered mine. But you know what saved her? It wasn’t the systems, the so-called authorities, or any damn government agency. It was the people. The strangers. The good-hearted souls who stepped up when no one else did.

I had her at 19, so we’re no strangers to starting over. We’ve fought every day since the moment she took her first breath. We’re survivors, fighters, and we’ve never let life snuff out our light. No matter the storm, we’ve kept our faith; trusted the Holy Spirit to guide us. But this time, this storm, my girl wasn’t ready for the weight of it. She wasn’t ready for the sheer failure of it all.

She watched as her home was torn apart by trees falling on it, watched the water rise, and had to make the heart-wrenching call to leave everything behind. She knew no one was coming for her, knew I couldn’t reach her, and she stood in that reality ALONE. But through all the destruction, the light broke through in the form of good people; people like YOU who stepped up to give my girl food, shelter, safety. For seven days, she didn’t see a single National Guard member, no FEMA, no military. Not a damn soul in charge showed up for her. And when she tried to apply for FEMA support? DENIED.

This is not how it’s supposed to be.

I’ve always been the rock in our little family of 3, the one who buries the pain so I can stay strong, provide, protect my girls, keep their faith alive, and carry it all so they can truly LIVE without fear or worry. But tonight, I’m letting it all process. It could’ve been so much worse for Lexi, and I thank God it wasn’t. My heart is forever indebted to the strangers who became her family when everything else failed.

Tomorrow, she comes home. We’ve been preparing, getting things just right so she can finally lay down her armor, rest her spirit, and in doing that, I’ll finally be able to rest mine, too.

Thank you, God, for sparing my baby.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11 

Goodnight, friends. 🙏🏼

 🙏🏼 I couldn’t agree more 
 You are the chosen one. 
Greatness is your destiny. 
 🚨🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: Heres what’s REALLY happening: The disaster unfolding from Hurricane Helene is exactly why you NEED Bitcoin. This isn’t just about opting out of the broken mainstream narratives…it’s about taking back your sovereignty with the one asset that the state can’t touch, can’t freeze, and can’t confiscate. 👇🏼🚨🚨

Let me put this in the simplest terms for those still asleep or may not understand Bitcoin: 

❌ Mainstream media told you it was volatile. 

❌ They told you it was used on the dark web for drugs and criminal transactions. 

❌ They told you it had no value, too complicated, would never work, too risky. 

FACT CHECK: They lied to you. They want you dependent on them so they can maintain their scheme and assert control. 

The government’s response to Helene isn’t just incompetence, it’s straight-up treason. They’re taking OUR tax dollars, hard earned by Americans, and using it to prop up foreign interests and handouts to illegal migrants, all while citizens who lost everything are thrown to the curb. Americans are being sacrificed at the altar of political corruption, and it’s time to wake up to the reality of what’s going on.

Look at what happened to my daughter. She’s been without power for over a week, stranded just 40 miles from Asheville, NC. The government? Silent. The same trees that crushed her house are still there, no power, no water, nothing. No boots on the ground. Nothing. Private citizens trying to deliver supplies are being TURNED AWAY or worse, threatened with ARREST because they’re not on some bureaucrat’s “approved” list. Meanwhile, @fema is offering a laughable $750 to people who’ve lost everything, while illegal migrants are getting free housing, healthcare, and even cell phones. They’re being handed $6,000 a month PER PERSON, and they’re not even supposed to be here.

And it gets worse…my daughter? DENIED FEMA aid because she doesn’t have homeowners insurance. Who the hell expects an 18 yr old kid to have insurance?!! Meanwhile, #illegal migrants are walking away with checks in hand. This isn’t just neglect, it’s a deliberate choice to prioritize everyone but the American people. It’s beyond incompetence; it’s betrayal. 

Here’s the truth: the government is choosing to abandon its citizens while they send billions overseas and funnel endless resources to people who don’t belong here. They are selling out the American people, OUR people, for power, profit, and the globalist agenda. This is treason, plain and simple.

This goes way beyond political parties. It’s a system that’s rigged against you, funded by a corrupt, broken fiat system that’s designed to keep you dependent. You want real freedom? You want to take back control? Bitcoin fixes this. #Bitcoin is outside their reach. It’s unconfiscatable, decentralized, and it’s the only way to separate money from the corrupt state. That’s why they fear it.

You owe it to yourself, your family, and your future to learn about Bitcoin. Opt out of their corrupt system. Take back your power. This government has shown it will not protect you, and if they won’t, they don’t deserve to govern. This is about more than money…this is about survival. Bitcoin is how we reclaim that power from the broken system that’s turned its back on the people. It’s time to wake up, stand up, and hold these traitors accountable. Bitcoin gives you the freedom to do just that. 

End rant.

 So today my daughter was on the phone with FEMA all day trying to get their help applying for her $750 relief assistance, only to get red taped because she doesn’t have insurance documents??? She’s an 18 year old student FFS.

Lord, keep me sane until I can get her TF out of there.

 My daughter is about 40 miles outside of Asheville. She has been without power for SEVEN DAYS. Mainstream media hasn’t even hit the tipping point of what is actually going on in Appalachia. 

Supply shock hit a week ago. 
15,000 people are STILL MISSING in Asheville alone, although the numbers being reported from government officials couldn’t be further from the truth. Children wandering who can’t find their parents, bodies in trees, or washing up, babies, elderly, young and old. It’s HORRIFYING. 

Private citizens with trucks of supplies are being turned away because they aren’t on the approved vendor list. Meanwhile, FEMA has prioritized illegal immigrants and funding aid at the border, while offering an insulting $750 to Helena victims. 

THIS IS TREASON. THIS IS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH. THIS IS PURE EVIL. 

Our people have been abandoned, left to starve, die, and endure inhumane conditions. 

What happened to humanity? It’s time to take a stand, put the power back into the hands of the people, and stop complying.

 Oh wow, you are definitely being censored

 1765-1773: Taxation Without Representation

- Stamp Act (1765), Townshend Acts (1767), and Tea Act (1773): Britain imposes taxes on the colonies without their consent. Frustration grows as colonists feel oppressed and ignored.

1770: Boston Massacre

- British troops kill five colonists in Boston, marking a turning point. Boston becomes the center of rebellion, pushing people towards resistance.

1774-1775: Continental Congress & First Battles

- 1st Continental Congress (1774): Colonies unite and declare grievances against British tyranny.
- April 1775: British soldiers march on Concord, sparking the first battle of the revolution. Paul Revere’s ride spreads the alarm.

1776: Declaration of Independence

- July 4, 1776: Colonies declare independence, voting to break from an empire. A continental army is formed, inspired by the fight for freedom.

1777-1781: Revolutionary War

- Key victories at Saratoga and Delaware bring international support. Figures like Nathaniel Greene lead the charge, while Benedict Arnold’s betrayal nearly costs them.
- Treaty of Paris (1783): After years of sacrifice, the U.S. wins independence.

2024: History Repeats

- Government overreach: Taxes increase, wars fought without public consent, and elites legislate in secrecy. Americans face tyranny without representation once again.

Oppression & Corruption

- The current government mirrors the monarchies we once escaped—unaccountable, self-serving, and trampling on rights.

The People Will Rise Again

- Just as in 1776, frustration grows. The people awaken, ready to reclaim their liberty, representation, freedom, and independence. 
 If something was a REAL problem, a life or death situation, then you wouldn’t have time to think about it, you’d just act.

99% of our ‘problems’ aren’t actually problems, just situations we’ve named problems; an emotional response. 🤝

 Start with light. ☀️

For 4.5 billion years, sunlight has shaped life on Earth. It’s the ultimate cheat code, driving your health, your energy, and your well-being.

Sunlight isn’t just warmth, it’s electromagnetic information. It programs your cells, tells them to repair, rebuild, and thrive. Your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your body, rely on this natural energy. This is why ancient practices like fasting, heat, and cold exposure are hardwired into us. They activate self-healing at a cellular level.

The sun is your original fuel. It boosts mood, aligns your circadian rhythm, and enhances everything from sleep to hormone balance. Skip the sun, and you’re inviting deficiencies like low Vitamin D; just as harmful as smoking.

Sunbathing isn’t a luxury. It’s a metabolic boost, breaking down fat and stabilizing glucose. Red and near-infrared light even helps fight melanoma, showing that sunlight isn’t just safe, it’s protective.

Get outside. Let the sun do the work.

 The most important deliverance you will ever receive, is from people. 

Their opinions, the hurt they caused, how they disappointed you, betrayed you, rejected you, misunderstood you, judged you, and lied on you. Get it all out, and Forgive. Let it go, and move on with your life. Don’t ever let anyone or anything hinder you from your purpose.

 When the chaos of life erupts, choose to get still, slow down, and double down on the things you can control:

Your thoughts and your actions.  

Virtues, values, and character.  

Do right, love deeply, give recklessly,  
exercise, read, be with people, pray, eat  
well, rest, and breathe. 🤍

 No one has power over you. 

You unconsciously GIVE them power over you. 

And the reason why is because you are not in touch with your OWN power. 

When you are in touch with your own power, you can feel a deeper sense of abundance, wholeness, and love within. 

From this state, you no longer fear rejection. Sure, you can still feel pain but it will not lead you to play small, or suppress your voice; your power.

 The true balance is time and time is bound. 
 Can you see the conscious threads of resistance? 

Life’s messy. It’s raw. Unfiltered. 

Sometimes we can’t finish the laundry, or meet the deadline. Sometimes we mess up, or we’re too hard on ourselves. Sometimes we say too much, or we don’t speak up at all. Sometimes we give too much, or we don’t give enough. It all boils down to resistance. 

Some resistance is good, it pushes us to conquer our fears, and propels us into unknown things that end up being the absolute best thing that could of happened to us. Sometimes the resistance is too strong, and it holds us back into this endless cycle or season of defeat, pain, depression, or lesson. Every single person reading this right now has failed at something. We’ve all walked that path of resistance. We’ve all felt a wave of resistance so strong that it prevents us from moving forward. The key here is recognizing the path of least resistance. The flow. The gut instinct. When things continue to spiral, you have to stop and ask if you’re taking the path of least resistance. Are you running your life? Or is your life running you? There’s also beauty in the lessons. The resistant path of self discovery, that allows us to blossom into the beautiful souls that we are. 

For some of us, it only takes one lesson. For some of us it takes many. For the latter, forgive yourself and recognize the child-like innocence of your fears. What triggers them. Then release whatever it is, and forgive. 

Life is supposed to be messy. No one is perfect. We live, and we learn, yet we also learn so much more when we break the chains as we allow ourselves to LIVE MORE. 

There’s resistance in all change. If the change is in regards to a situation or person you can’t stop thinking about longer than a day.. and you feel that slight gut pull, then rip the bandaid off and GO! Don’t throttle. Spread your wings! Because the truth is, the only thing that prevents us from LIVING this beautiful messy imperfect life of ours is the fear of getting started or making that first move. Your spirit *always* knows. 

Trust yourself…stumble, fall, walk, stand, and then spread your wings, let that inner light GLOW and let yourself fly!!! Because the life you have always wanted and deserve is there.. you just have to open that door and let yourself walk through it.
