 Brother, I’m so impressed…

The guts to stick to it through those six months, and the heart shown in the fight. 💪💪💪💪 
 Not trusting governments and centralized institutions is not paranoid by any stretch of the imagination.

It is sane, rational and common sense. 
 I checked the bitcoin price so you don’t have to.

No change.

Still between 50k and 70k.

 Any attempt to rationalize or promote the madness of trusting your bitcoin with a custodian is a giant red flag.

Control your own keys.

This is why we bitcoin ffs. 
 In a sick society

the greatest and most productive people will be the most demonized 
 I got really lucky

Pure luck! 🙏

 I think homeopathy is a scam, but at least it’s not harmful 
 Total ETF BTC holdings approaching 1M coins.

That’s a lot of people thinking they own bitcoin.

 Had a look at the price again today.

Still between 50k and 70k.

 “Hodlonaut, who has previously won a defamation case against Wright in Norway, criticized Wright’s latest legal action. In a statement made to Forbes, he said, "When no reputable law firm is willing to keep representing his torrent of lies and forgeries, it is very much in character for Mr. Wright to start using ChatGPT to represent him in ever more delusional legal antics. It will end badly for Mr. Wright, of course.”

 We need to talk about state spending. 
 I hate to break it to you, but a communist totalitarian future will bring worse horrors than a presidential candidate shitcoining.

Zoom out. Look at the whole picture in front of you. 
 I agree

 Wow 
 You should see the signs very clearly then 
 Bitcoin price never does what you expect. It delivers full diapers that don’t get changed and disbelief moons that don’t  stop.

It’s gonna get crazy. 
 Seriously, if Elon stopped the shitcoining and went full free speech/open protocol id have SOOOO ... 
 Don’t forget to respect him for all the good things he does. He’s good where it matters 
 If you wait by the river long enough, massive new ATHs will float by. 
 Hedged prediction cat 😀 
 It’s not too late to exchange your shitcoin bags for btc.

You will get less for them in the future than now.

Accept they will never pump. 

Take the loss.

Detox yourself. 
 There are shitcoiners here too 
 If these guys offered me money to associate with them, I’d tell them to GFY.

 Lead me, O Zeus, and thou O Destiny,
The way that I am bid by you to go:

To follow I am ready. 

If I choose not,
I make myself a wretch, and still must follow.

 After years of one-sided, relentless barrage of Orange Man Bad, this is how Norwegians would vote if they decided the US election.

Propaganda works.

It’s scary efficient.

NPC’s, corporate media and “democracy” is very dangerous for your future freedoms.

 Stack sats with the same vigor and intensity as these piglets stacking feed!

 I don’t “diversify” out of rock solid truth and value.

All in. 
 If you took all the time you spent watching the bitcoin chart

and spent it on something productive instead

imagine what you could have achieved 
 I don’t make the rules 😅 
 Bitcoin is the constant. The rock. 

Immovable in the rushing stream of events around it. 
 everyone asking who is satoshi? no one asking how is satoshi? 
 Speaking of… about to pick up another batch today 🔥 
 Love to hear you keep leveling up 💪 
 When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be annoying, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, scammy and misinformed. 

They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of bitcoin, and the ugliness of shitcoins and inflationary fiat money, and have recognized that the shitcoiner has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. 

And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. 
 Good catch :) 
 The only “fact checking” that matters anymore is the bitcoin protocol fact checking private keys.

Centralized commie-committees posing as “fact checkers”, wanting to twist and dictate truth and history, hold no power over bitcoin and mathematical truth.

Then we win. 
 Never trust journalists, most of them lie more than commies. 
 You’re saying they’re not commies?

 Speculation on who Satoshi is, is highly regarded.

Reasons should be obvious. 
 I did the math.
Turns out that everything divided by 21M is more than $63k. 
 Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity. Organic decentralization. Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable. 

We had one shot, and it worked.

 I would argue that 100% adoption is not a requirement for something to be labeled as working :) 
 All well, Nunya, hope you and your tribe is doing good too :) 
 People talking about ‘turning bullish’ if prices does this or that.

How about looking at Bitcoin’s nature, its fundamentals, the world it lives in and the world it makes possible? 
Does that turn you bullish? 
If not.... 🤷‍♂️ 
 The hodl meme transcends Bitcoin. It’s about conviction in the face of adversity. Following through. Being the rock that the waves keep crashing over.

Hodl on to the truths that resonate with you. Ignore the crowd. Stay the path. 
 There will soon come a time where everyone pretends they were always bitcoin maxis. 

Because bitcoin maxis were right, are right and will continue to be right. 
 Same. They can steal the valor but they can’t steal the sats. 
 A small workout is better than no workout. A small stack is better than no stack. Small steps in the right direction are better than no progress. 
 😂 
 Despite having me blocked, Craig gets sufficiently triggered by my post to spin up his own 9 post long thread, powered by ChatGPT, where he rages pathetically and delusionally from some closet in Asia where he is on the run from consequences for his long, scammy cosplay as Satoshi.

Love to see it. 😘

 Talking to normies about Bitcoin is like talking to a person that is in a coma. You can present w... 
 Like talking about most things with normies :) 
 Even if the moon landing is real. Isn’t it weird that we never went beyond the Van Allen Radiat... 
 That’s a dangerous thought, citizen! 
 Blows my mind how people can be red pilled on x number of obvious psyops, thus having accepted we’re being habitually lied to and misled by state and media…

…and at the same time being fully blue pilled on x number of other obvious psyops—pointing to state and media narratives as proof, with no appetite for further critical thinking or inquiry.

🤷‍♂️ 
 There is nothing the average NPC will not believe if exposed to sufficient propaganda.

The elite WILL use massive propaganda to stay in power and enrich themselves.

Ergo, democracies don't work for much else than keeping crooks and greedy commies in power.

 How many of these events do you believe official narratives/history got right?

- JFK assassination
- 1969 manned moon landing 
- 9/11 attack
- Epstein killing himself
- 2020 US election
- Covid "pandemic" and response 
 I’m more afraid of human NPC’s than AI.

Much bigger threat.

 Shitcoiners and crypto bros: "Let's not lose sight of who the real enemy is!"

There is little meaningful difference between the fiat system and shitcoins. It's all differently flavored scams to steal your wealth and sovereignty.

There's Bitcoin, and there's the real enemy. 
 If you believe no manipulation or shenanigans can happen because something is reGulaTed

 Maybe we shouldn’t blow people up so much? 
 If you only ever heed one piece of advice from me, let it be this one:

TAKE SELF CUSTODY OF YOUR BITCOIN

CONTROL YOUR OWN KEYS

Thank me later. 
 I don’t know  who does it or how. 

But the bitcoin price is imo clearly being heavily manipulated and suppressed.

That’s ok though. The trick is low time preference. Just don’t get demoralized or stuck with worthless paper bitcoin while we wait. 
 “Almost impossible”??

When the overwhelming majority of trades are happening off chain, and massive institutional “holders” as well as exchanges don’t show proof of reserves. Lol
