 It’s still less than $1,000 to become a satoshi millionaire. 
 Closer to 100k than 58k

 They’ll be good in a few weeks. I had a Christmas tomato last year. 
 Bitcoin is boring at 69k. 
 Just voted very hard. 

Life is gunna get better any minute now. 
 No one knows how high we're about to go
#Bitcoin  
 Thanks for your sacrifice! 
 I’m ready for another Sunday pump. 
 But it’s all I can think about and I kinda like it that way. 
 I have a friend who wants to YOLO 50K into MSTR via his Roth IRA (he also owns real #Bitcoin) and... 
 Reminds me of people pouring into GBTC because it had a premium.

Sometimes that premium turns into a discount. 
 Just had a conversation with someone that hit.

They asked if you would rather buy bitcoin today at 65k or190k… the MSTR price is currently equivalent to the 190k price. 

Hope whatever your friend does works out. 
 My wife hates this, but I’m still proud of my 3rd grade “invention”. 

It’s a piggy bank, coin toss game. My goal was to make saving money more fun.

 Does anyone have recommendations on an ideal way to buy bitcoin in Dubai?

I have a friend there ... 
 Personally don’t know, but my no coiner friend from Dubai says it’s everywhere. Should have plenty of options. 
 Taking my annual commission update course.

Number of attendees seems to be 1/2 what it was the last few years. 

Realtors are dropping like flies with higher rates, more regulation and less volume in general to go around. 

…time to scoop up market share. 
 I am wondering: Where are all the hot #Bitcoin chicks in real life? 
 At the @SpaceDenver 
 I have a friend from high school who is having trouble sending money to a friend in Palestine because of, you know, banks.

Any recommendations on a wallet for a no coiner Palestinian? 
 Welp, didn’t finish strong. Last in the division and my favorite player retired.

 Yep. Going to miss his walk up song and clutch hitting. 
 Had a one on one with my 96 year old grandmother today. 

She is very confident that a 3rd world war is unpreventable at this point. 
 It kills the pump every time 
 HARVEST HELP NEEDED 🚨🍇 
 I’m interested but can’t be there until mid next week. 
 If you actually tried to catch it, you would have definitely have fallen off your roof… with a slight delay in gravity. 
 What Bitcoin businesses need to exist but don't? 
 Title company services. Most have language saying they can only accept USD.

 The good thing is that more people will have exposure… They will dive deeper into the freedom stuff after feeling NGU. 
 They don’t break out the first cycle, but they’ll get curious once they realize selling for fiat gains was a bad idea. 
 What are the astrology people saying about this full moon lining up with rate cuts? 
 You can't have Uptober without SeptemBRR.

The Groundhog speaks tomorrow.
Will he see his shadow?... 
 My guess is that he changes USDs protocol.

 If you stop mentioning Creed, we will pump.  Garunteed. 
 Already up 2%

 “It might make sense to get some just in case it catches on.” 
 Just added a like along with my zap. 
 I’ve offered an additional $5 tip in bitcoin for the last 3 years at mine. 

They also got two more customers from the @SpaceDenver simply because of this. 
 Just tips at the moment, but starting to see the benefits of not selling those tips. 
 Switching orange theory gyms because I met a newly minted bitcoiner who is a franchisee. I’m even driving an extra 5-10 minutes further.

Although I’m still paying in fiat, at least I know it’s more likely for a portion to help grow the network and I get to show this new bitcoiner that we’re a loyal bunch and a good team to be on. 
 Ran into 4 Bitcoiners at the farmers market…. Progress.

 Sallys are crying. Chads are buying. 
 That makes you a psychopath… Glad to have you on the team. 
 Jerome Powell is Satoshi and is going to start the real bull run on September 18th. 
 One of these times it’ll be the last time we see 58k. 
 @BenJustman. There are now 2 vendors at my farmers market accepting bitcoin. 

Step up your orange pilling game. 
 Climbed the highest mountain in the state with a fellow bitcoiner today.

Do hard things.

 I have a group chat with my family where we just say good morning every day. It’s basically to make sure my 96 year old grandma is still alive.

Recently her eyes have been bothering her, so she requested that we all type in all caps to make it easier for her.

IT’S OFFICIALLY ALL CAPS SEASON!

@ODELL 
 Bitcoiners were the kids in school that ran a candy store out of their backpacks. 
 I hustled people by playing marbles 
 Met a lady in her 50’s yesterday talking about how XRP is the future and BTC stands for Baby Trader Coin. 

Tried being nice and explained a little about Jed McCeleb’s history, but she was uninterested in a “baby’s” opinion. 

Might be the last shitcoiner I try to help this cycle. 
 This is the presidential candidate that seems to have the most level head IMO.

 So much traditional bitcoin is going to turn into hillbilly bitcoin today. 
 In the grand scheme of things, we don’t have much time left to stack before the US government starts. 
 Released my book for free as a pdf

#bitcoin gave me a lot and giving it back

Don’t zap me jus... 
 Oops, zapped after reading just the first line. 
 Having a lot more spicy conversations with agents on the other side of transactions recently.

I do believe bitcoin helps me keep a more level head in an industry where volume is currently drying up.

Emotions are high right now. 
 It’s just a lot easier for deals to fall apart right now, which has agents becoming more combative. Basically we’re just back to negotiating again. To get the best deal possible, often times you flirt with the edge between killing the deal and closing. Don’t want to go into details of my clients personal pending deals though. 

In general: financing is tougher, causing buyers to get cold feet more often. Some deals are going under contract well under list price, resulting in sellers digging their feet in the ground when it comes to the rest of the negotiation like inspections and appraisals. 

On top of that, the volume of transactions is down. There are a lot of crappy agents out there getting emotional because they don’t know how they’re going to pay their bills. 
 My garden is struggling this year, but at least the butterfly plants are doing their job.

 Seems like a good plan if the goal is to make more suffer. 
 Family member called today telling me that they’re cutting out Starbucks and making their own caffeinated drinks at home. Every time they make a drink, they’re buying $5 of bitcoin with the savings. 

I’m finally having success! 
 In the state of Colorado, you only need 72 hrs in a home to have squatters rights. 🤯 
 What reputable companies do #Bitcoin collateralized loans these days? 
 ….15% rates too 
 The reason to do it is that you think bitcoin will appreciate well above 15% in the coming year and you want to do whatever you can to keep what you have. 
 Which #bitcoin book do you think would make a good engagement gift for a pre-coiner couple? #askn... 
 Anything that explains how the current system works.

The bitcoin standard is great but I feel like the title turns off pre-coiners. 
 Yeah, but isn’t he a bits maximalist? 
 Waiting on the world to change by John Mayer is a dumb song.

Stop waiting and do something before it gets any worse. 
 158k gang by next Independence Day. 
 Nobody uses bitcoin at my wife’s farmers market booth, but it’s still awesome hearing her say “I accept cash, Venmo and bitcoin” to almost every customer. 
 Kennedy won the debate. 
 58k gang 👀 
 Bitcoin is 15 years old, and I was still able to buy sats in 50ks today. 
 Got a Bitcoin Sermon at church today:

- Suffering creates perseverance 
- Perseverance creates character
- Character produces hope 
 I think the FOMC meeting was good for bitcoin today. 

Don’t know what was said, but these theatrical performances by the money makers seem more and more silly the longer you stay humble and stack sats. 
 Did any of you do this trend 🤣 nostr:note1rgy7t0r4hr39tjhpu6t7cv2d45t9rd4d0z9d72ej6apnpwzukj7s... 
 I had so much fun with this back then. Just dug this one out of the achieves.
