Pompliano gives a decent $100K pep talk: "Holding bitcoin is the use case."

 Through tech companies the left conspired with government to censor and control social media (textbook fascism btw) ... and now they're whining that Trump won because the right successfully created their own online spaces. LOL

 No? NYT subscription for the MSM view, YouTube for the alternative views. 
 The proposed BRICS reserve currency is a potential threat because as (or if) countries switch  then a percent of globally held USD leaves those countries, returning to the US, causing inflation. (Redacted episode).

 Rewatching "The Big Short", so good. 
 My "Bitcoin story" is nothing special, just a reflection of the rest of my life. Class of 2017, hustled to build a small stack, stupidly lost it. Hustled to rebuild it. Stupidly lost it, again. Currently hustling to rebuild it, again. I may not be a smart man Jenny, but at least I know what Bitcoin is. 
 I met Santa Claus back in 93, at the mall. 
 saylor had to momentarily stop calculating his new BTC purchase plan to look at this person. 
 While I do agree seed oils are bad, they're not causing obesity.

Obesity is caused by overeating... 
 I don't feel obese but my BMI says otherwise 
 Damn yall, i had a hell of a scare on my walk just now.  I had just turned onto one of our trails... 
 Scary stuff. I carry pepper spray which works on dogs, but three is pushing it.

 A very interesting discussion between Saif and Michael Saylor showing the differences between the two. Fundamentally Saylor sees BTC as co-existing with the existing financial system.

 Fasting plus keto for massive anti-cancer benefits.

 Returning to rainy Seattle after 3 years in coastal Alabama, I've been waiting for my tanned skin to start fading. But it looks like we're going with the peeling option. Oh joy.

 After experimenting and researching my current health issues I've landed on a 3 day version of alt day #fasting for the rest of the year. Eat one day, fast 2 days.  
 This is my first bull market  
 you ever stand on the edge of a roof? 
 I need to stop trying to explain to normies how bitcoin and fasting have changed (probably saved) my life. I mean I'll mention them, but no speeches.  
 Enjoy your temporary freedom little fellow primates. Using chimps for experiments was banned, so basic economics says the demand for monkey experiments went up.  
 The 10th amendment says the federal government can only have the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, such as coining gold and silver. Everything else is unconstitutional.

 Saif debates Brent Johnson on the future of BTC and concedes that the road to a Bitcoin standard will be difficult "but it will be even more difficult for those who don't own Bitcoin."

 Bitcoin is an exit out of monetary debasement. The coming years will involve an unwinding of the post-WWII system.

 The super close race is a psyop. 
 The truth is I've never been able to fast longer than 3 or 4 days, usually much shorter. So let's just keep it real and plan to do #IntermittentFasting for the rest of the year: 6/18 (6 hour daily feeding window, 1300-1900). 
 Yes, several times. Good results, but I'm not convinced it's necessary long term. 
 People started getting fat with lots of chronic diseases in the 1980's and after. Lots more processed foods, available all the time in much bigger quantities. Our grandparents (for the most part) were healthier than current generations without being carnivore, they just in general ate much less food (and usually less processed). I'm not opposed to carnivore, I just don't think it's necessary. 
 yeah, totally agree

 Gyms are great but tbh I only need three exercises: dips, pull ups, and squats. 
 Day 1/21 of water fast to lose weight and lower blood pressure. (233 lbs) 
 Not sure if it's a rewatchable, but Alien Romulus was better than I expected. 
 I have this half baked theory that animals don't just do certain behaviors to survive, we evolved to like doing them. For example cats don't just hunt to eat, they enjoy hunting.  
 I'm binging the Alien movies. I think if I had to rank the ones I've seen it would look something... 
 pretty solid choices 
 Bitcoin is the cheat code for financial freedom

Carnivore is the cheat code for health

Nostr is... 
 I think about stuff PO said every day.
