 Buying at 60k four years ago feels a lot different than buying at 60k today, 
 Someone spamming this with "Gay" 😣

 Governments sending Bitcoin to exchanges to sell is equivalent to countries sending dollars to the FX market to prop their worthless paper. 
 Mid year bonus converted to sats ✅

Dollars are an equity stake in the government.

 I have a meeting with my old financial advisor who I stopped seeing 3 years ago because I stopped... 
 Why is the S&P just a reflection of monetary debasement and not of actual growth.

Why are stocks essentially "money" and the dollar actually just a unit. 
 They are wonderful machines.  Have been running smooth for 3 years.  0.050 coins mined.  😂

Bought mine through Nick Kaboomracks.  Won't make you a fortune but if you have 220v to spare worth the time.  It's losing money in most jurisdictions for power rates but happy to help plebs out.  💯💯 
 Solar + bitaxe is a pretty badass setup.  Ungovernable. 🤙🤙 
 What's your favorite Ubuntu apps? #Linux 
 This is what the professional fiaters in Tradfi asset management do.  They don't actually know what they are doing; simply asking a teacher for the answer.

They don't understand the business they are in. 
 Oh boy that's bad lol 
 Fiat splurge product I don't regret buying.

 Fiat splurge products that I would buy again.  

Oofos sandals
Dyson vacuum
Lululemon underwear 
 What's your favorite "fiat splurge" product you have bought in the past year that you would buy again? 
 Have been looking for a good water filter!  I'll check it out.

 Damn.  That's a major flex. 
 Nice super rare to see!  I've only seen 1 before in the Midwest.  They see you way before you see them!

 El yucateco green sauce is a great go-to.

 Plebs mining with a couple S9s globally could easily be more hash than the large miners.  There is nothing stopping you. 
 Obligatory stack today. 
 If any of you are in Georgia, US and want to buy lamb with bitcoin, please check out georgialamb.... 
 Hell yeah 
 Now they will tell you that it is because of the Bitcoins of mtgox, 140000 bitcoins is a ridiculo... 
 This is a nice indicator 
 Things are crazy because the money is dead

 The American spirit is going to come back 100 fold.

Hold your dick and stand up straight.

Take shit from no one. 
 Bananas on the blockchain!  If I eat the banana; I still have the banana! 
 Correlation of all financial assets will go to 1 as the unit of account becomes worthless.

 Don't put money in banks you can't afford to lose 
 Dollars are not scarce or rare 
 What if FAANG stocks are actually outperforming because they all secretly hold #Bitcoin ?

5 or 6 stocks are responsible for almost all the index performance.

I would guarantee all of those companies have some #Bitcoin off balance sheet. 
 The minting and issuance of currency is one of the few remaining functions of the government that...

 Art dies towards the end of fiat systems.  People lose the purchasing power to assign value to the things that they believe are beautiful.  All things begin to be valued on their utility value, including art.  Currently most art is simply used as a tax haven, that's its utility value.

#Bitcoin brings beauty back to the world 
 It is not accepting bitcoin payments that is a challenge

It is creating a business that generate... 
 Bitcoin will flow to things humans find beautiful. 
 High quality food.  Food has fallen to its utility value in the fiat world, maximum quantity is the current goal.  

Nutritious quality food I will be happy to pay sats for. 
 Everyone thinks it's a political problem when it's a monetary problem.

Political chaos is the result of monetary chaos.

Money is in fact the most political object.

#Bitcoin 
 Welcome to the age of decadence… 
 Golden age of fraud 
 What's going on here?  The refs need these for reference?  Never seen anything like this before. 
 I have a hypothesis that one of the biggest commonalities among current Nostr users is the abilit... 
 I think it's full of people who constantly refine and review their own mental models of the world.  It's an active process of thinking and re-thinking.  Most people just accept the world as it is. 
 What. A. Surprise.

 The state is just other people.  The government is just other people.

Privacy for the elites, surveillance for everyone else. 
 Craigslist was probably peak centralized internet.  

Most modern tech apps are services people used for free on Craigslist.  Ride share, for sale, gig work etc.  

My hope is #Nostr can become the decentralized Craigslist and upend the app/gig economy. 
 How do you encourage the world to hold US treasuries?  (More important than convincing someone to hold dollars)

You back the treasuries with #Bitcoin 
 The Fed just bailed out one of the largest holders of underwater US debt in Japan.  

The collapse is happening but nobody understands it.  The Fed is the buyer of final resort. 
 The ETF shares are being redeemed for gold in the US and the physical thing is being sold in China at a premium.  The US is essentially sending all its domestic gold to the East.  

The US will back the dollar with Bitcoin and the East will back its FX by gold.  BTC is most likely a govt creation to defend the dollar. 
 I hate 65K. If it fell to 60K and back to 65K I'd like 65K again. If it went to 70K and back to 6... 
 The dollar price of bitcoin is an extremely manipulated market. 
 Have to stop downloading the newest OS.  That shit is bad for you. 
 They know that when it's a good employment or CPI number the market gets a bump. 

Employment numbers have been made up shit for 2 years at least. 
 Sunset from the Michigan side.  On really clear days you can see the skyline.  If you zoom into the center, left of the sun you can kinda see the tiny towers. https://image.nostr.build/cb5da5f440a5c809abd157a7ef98003283103aa698e9f93ebb7ba2004a7e2683.jpg
