 Mike Tyson no frills murderer 
 Her eyelid is gonna fall off 
 We got duped into watching his ass. What a troll 
 We know who live now! 
 SOMEONE POST TYSON'S CHEEKS FOR A NEW MEME TEMPLATE (NO HOMO) 
 Lol 
 Tyson ass shot  
 I often hear through the grapevine that people find me highly intimidating irl which is funny to me because I am usually just laughing, care free and good natured

But I have come to understand that I am unusual to young people in that I have a wide breadth of knowledge, experiences and never fit in an easily defined box 

 
 I am of the age that wasn't allowed to site the internet at University.  
 My card catalogue skills 👌 
 Please steal my intellectual property. 
 I am making my to do list my little bitch

 This is my favorite project on nostr!

 I have put one of my companies through a radical transformation over the last few months. 

Closed and subleased a location
Took a leveraged position into ₿ at 49k
Cut staff to 4 from 13

We are a meaner leaner machine!

 
 If you have a business that runs Square they have a couple click business loans that function as a percentage of daily sales.

If you were going to roll that future percentage of sales into bitcoin anyway, you can lump sum buy the coin today and pay it back on the daily sales over time.

The simultaneous reductions of fixed costs essentially paid the loan off. 

We now have a treasury that can be sold down to cover any costs if the steady state of revenue slips. 

I no longer believe in expanding the base business. The base business is simply an organization to convert fiat to Bitcoin.  
 My business:

 He is saying that users could see the data where everyone wanted a notif. If there is a pool at 4 but not at 5 then making a spend at 5 would be wise because once at 4 the fees go above 5. Kinda non betting betting market.

 Apps are nice but CLI on a Thinkpad is 🤌

 That is good for e2ee sharing and sync across devices as I believe the note is kept on their servers.

 Non kyc sats 
 I bought my wife a nice vintage diamond ring for few thousand dollars. She was so happy about it she had her hand out the window while driving and it got sucked off her finger and ended up somewhere in the ditch of the highway.

When I bought it I told her that I loved her enough to buy her a shitcoin but not to get rugged. Lesson learned.  
 She kicked herself around over it for so long that I said she doesn't get another one till she doesn't mention it for six months lol!

Get a little ring stopper!  
 Build the life you want, then Back it with Bitcoin 
 Good morning nostr fam!

I am rich with a beautiful family, a wonderful home, a fertile farm, health and experiences. 

I am grateful to the Lord that my Bitcoin fortifies that.

People who spent their entire lives calling for the destruction of the American government because it is an colonial racist war empire are now screaming mad that Trump is planning on reducing the size of its staff lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 
 Why do we connect/publish to so many relays?

 1 is none 
2 is one
3 is redundancy 
 Took some tinkering to get everyone to play together: 

Amethyst running internal tor, Citrine local and exposed onion service nostr relay, SimpleX to connect to my self hosted servers via proxy, Bitwarden to connect to Start9 via Orbot running in power user mode with Mullvad as VPN on new Graphene OS Pixel 6a  
 There are lots of takes on what makes good privacy. Some think tor makes you stand out and orbot has leaks. Many VPN are surely not doing what they say. I like to run onion instances so I use it. But I understand there is no perfect privacy. More interested in learning about how to use things. 
 On GrapheneOS

Mullvad VPN
Orbot in power mode
Amethyst over tor using Orbot 
 I found that Bitwarden needs orbot running as vpn to add new item to it or autofill. But you can  open and copy passwords without orbot in vpn mode. 

All the other apps and connectivity back to Start9 onion services that I use on my phone seem to work fine with orbot not as a vpn but on in background. Play around with Orbot in power user mode. 

I now am waiting for Stsrt9 clearnet to obsolve the Bitwarden autofill without orbot vpn behind Mullvad. 
 Sick burn  
 Dam it feels great to top up Mullvad VPN for a year from zaps at the ATH! 

GliNet GUI update for Flint1800 route is fire and running Mullvad VPN with built in wireguard on the router is crazy simple.

OPNSense GUI update is also very nice

🤟 
 Just start messing around. Don't get upset if things don't work or seem daunting, just think of it as a puzzle. I learned everything I know from shizo nyms in the chats.
