Francis Schaeffer
Escape from Reason lead me down a very deep philosophical rabbit hole.
Great book, extremely relevant today as cultural “leaders” tell is men can have babies, etc ….
This is what I’m doing to stay humble, to manage wisely and to maintain sanity; I’m putting a plan together with actions a various stages.
1. Sell a small percentage of sats at some all time high
2. Set aside some fiat for the next low to buy more sats than previously held
3. Plan my spending so I can enjoy the it but not go too crazy
This bear market, while a little annoying, is forcing me to be budget conscious - I’m developing habits that i will carry into the times of plenty
fwiw
I grew up in the crc, if u know that flavor. Good to see, well, really shocked, your post. Who reads those docs today? Also, I’m looking to try to connect with someone on simplx too.
It was another world
Can you imagine, anymore, picking someone up at the airport and being able walk to the gate and greet them as they get off the plane.
Not getting felt-up when going to your plane.
However, no internet, no cellphones, no bitcoin ( as we know the fiat problem existed in the 80s ), no nostr, etc …
Still, Columbus Day was Columbus Day
I really don’t care what people do, to themselves, but men were men, women were women, and everyone knew the difference.
I could keep going but I don’t want to offend current sensibilities
Nostalgia is fun, but there’s ancient Chinese proverb, in chaos there is opportunity.
Lots of opportunities today.
Lets enjoy and capitalize on the change.
Anyone with bitcoin is already in the game. People in the future will wish they were here

Hi Nat
Short note: Best show ever
Long note:
I recently heard about the limits of the Bitcoin network but didn’t understand it.
Your show with Bob Burnett, CEO of Barefoot Mining, revealed (to me) the limit(s).
With the ~2700 transactions per block (an average) and 1 block every 10 mims it was easy to get to the 140M transactions per year.
This, of course, raises the urgency for building out, solidifying, layer 2 tech; lighting, liquid, fedi or other.
Fascinating and fun times ahead.
Love your show.
Thanks!
