Story time.
I was a late comer to bitcoin.
In 2019 I started a new job at a very stressful trading desk (fortune 500 brokerage).
In any event, my team leader was a bit of a rogue. I knew him from a previous job where he was my subordinate and I new he was a big goldbug. Interestingly enough, He had graduated to bitcoin. Id never heard of or ever bought any btc or any altcoins.
Over the course of the year, he convinced me to buy a decent chunk. My cost basis was near 59. I spent the next year listening to 1000s of hours of BTC podcasts, read Price if Tomorrow and thankfully learned about Saylor.
I rode losses down to 15,500.
—Heres the interesting part. I became so sure, so unbelievably certain that id be okay, that I sold ALL MY BITCOIN two days before the new year to harvest the tax loss.
I then proceeded to rebuy every dollar worth back over the following month in January on the way back up. I Lowered my cost basis to ~17k and religiously started buying dips from time to time.
—-I have never traded BTC before or after this event.
I considered it and I still consider Bitcoin to be the only “asymmetrical bet” Ive ever encountered.

Honestly I’m not a great trader. I was always a buy and hold great investor but I feel like I Forest Gumped into it.
It feels like luck or spiritual in some way. I don’t even tell this story but that video is exactly how I felt.
I just knew.

There are some boundaries that I have with teachers.
-I politely ask that they refrain from any topic that is a:
1. Controversial Opinion but
Specifically Politically Controversial.
2. Sexual in nature. (Including pronouns)
Im lucky that I live in a rural conservative area with some really decent charter schools.
My other option is a homeschool pod.
🧡👊🏻🍻

I post this graphic from time to time. Self reported data from men based on policy affiliation. It’s nowhere near as polarized with women so the chart isn’t interesting like this one.

Stay vigilant my friend. We won a major battle, but True sovereignty is freedom and you are not “their” friend.
War on personal freedoms will never stop.

The Cholesterol data point is a manipulation designed to sell you on a statin. The value of a patient on a statin of the course of their life is $250,000 US.
Its a perverse outcome from a perverse incentive to monetize our health.

Yes.
You “can” eat them, but you don’t need much vegetation in your diet.
You’ve been lied to since birth so Its okay to question things.
When I first went keto 15years ago. The no legumes, fruit, etc really didn’t make sense to me.
Keep them to a minimum and focus on your portions being meat. Fatty meat fills you up for long periods of time, and wont want to snack as much.

He didn’t answer so id say dairy protein with egg blended in. Start with one raw egg. Make sure youre getting enough fat.
-Use tallow or lard for your eggs in the am.

My daughter is the same. We’re a carnivorous family but she will eat:
-Whey protein.
just avoid complex ingredients. Just buy it naked and flavor yourself.
-Beef or chicken Bone broth. Its high in animal protein. Make mashed potatoes or rice with it instead of water.
-Eggs!

Bitcoin is the only “asymmetrical bet” Ive ever encountered in my life.
(Besides on time, when I could see my drunk opponents cards in a big poker game)
100% Certainty.

Rich Baris was spot on election night and explained exactly why the other pollsters were so wrong.
The tldr:
The news networks wanted kamala and wouldn’t hire pollers that offered any other insight.
Pure insanity. Glorious stupidity.

Thanks for the follow.
No idea how new you are to nostr but looks like this acct is new so my advice is follow everyone you possibly can. Comment 10x more than post until you have a decent following.
🧡🍻👊🏻
This man a national treasure.
-Anyone that hasn’t taken a little time to listen to what this man and what he stands for might not understand that men like him do exist.
BTW, His interview on Tucker a few months ago was outstanding.
He’s a beacon of honor, integrity & honesty.
🧡🍻👊🏻
