 Julian was a journalist.
Edward was a whistle blower.
Ross was a capitalist.
Tornado and Samurai ... 
 Ross was more than that and ultimately accountable for his actions but I agree he should be Free! Looking forward to that day👍 
 Challenges remain but grateful the United States will once again prioritize protecting US citizens and securing our borders, Hallelujah! 
 After listening to 2,000+ hours of “bitcoin podcasts”, this was THE most articulate explanation for Bitcoin and why everyone needs to GetOffZero.

Prediction: Based on PoW, Mallers will end up  #1 on bitcoiner GOAT lists in the Year 2140…Keep Pushing! nostr:note16kr6ghg59m30hgk7td0nrd0q0axkwccvrwykv9j4lxra09t2m9lq9adsyg 
 As a 2017 bitcoin speculator, the turning point was 10 August 2020.  It was the moment my wife & I finally found common ground and went “all-in” on a bitcoin strategy.  

The road is tumultuous but our financial perspective has shifted from retirement planning to generational wealth.

May you have the intellectual curiosity, discipline and continued motivation to learn about bitcoin.

Start with a small allocation, dollar cost average and stay the course…this is not get rich quick strategy…but rather shifting your time & energy into a better store of value.

Do the work & GetOffZero!

 Wake Up O Brash Bitcoiner!  

If I am Following, that means You are also the HUNTED.

“Check Yourself” lest you discover Wealth to be Fleeting, learning Pride goes before Destruction and an Arrogant  spirit before a Fall.

Repent if your Stack has become an Idol of worship OR Bitcoin your Identity.

May we desire Love, Wisdom, Grace & Compassion over Wealth, Power & Prestige. 
 Thunder Funder provides an alternative to financially support bitcoin & open source projects on a smaller scale than investments with Ten31 or Ego Death Capital.  Worth a look.

 Never thought I’d be stacking $58K bitcoin 4 months after the halving😎 
 Never thought I’d be buying $50K again👍

 Recommend learning the technological advancements which led to bitcoin by reading “The Genesis Book” @Aaron van Wirdum 

One of my Top 5 Quotes was from Wei Dai on p. 214 and should give you pause https://image.nostr.build/636a62156338d79b9d61a56410d4238dea07f9da704b20c744a3f79ad380a095.jpg

 I believe there are two sides to every story and that history is typically chronicled by the victors.  Personally, having arrived to bitcoin in the Spring of 2017, I recall the block-size debate/fork.  Knowing both perspectives of a conflict provides Wisdom for the battles ahead.  Humbly, no one associated with bitcoin has been 100% correct or not stumbled along the way…we all need forgiveness and grace. https://image.nostr.build/817b3a8013a44d0640673f5ac4f037201b663b206df4326b31d99fc51bbb9f9b.jpg  
 Actual YTD portfolio return comparisons from 01 JAN 19:
If remained in Aggressive Trad-Fi Allocations: 125%
All-In Bitcoin Portfolio: 284%

The BTC ride is filled with volatility (down 62% in 2022) but not if you understand what you own.

Majority in Bitcoin wins long-term. nostr:note1cu9aawtt7tkpvec93ysprgrlryc48zvp030ackyuwesg4dk03exss4grj0 
 Much respect for Andreas in my paradigm shift from speculator to bitcoin only.

 Just finished the Bitcoin Veterans podcast with @ODELL from last night, stellar job guys.

I’ve had one social media account since 2021 which was X/Twitter to stay up on bitcoin news. 

Based on the truth spoken by Odell in regards to social media, I just deactivated & deleted X/Twitter from all my devices.
@btc_retiree now is dead!

For those committed to freedom tech, Nostr is the only way forward.  Cut the cord & break free!!! 
 Buy an asset the government cannot debase or seize.  Learn about Bitcoin! 
 Collapse is a sudden, involuntary and chaotic form of simplification.

 For the record: Bitcoin Market cap was $903B at the close today awaiting SEC ETF decision. https://image.nostr.build/23383fd3e53b8a003b0cb3d49800087efb5c8bf0b690fcf8ce84f40a4f67bf4c.jpg  
 @ODELL your boldness is appreciated as anything outside of self-custody contains counter party risk. The timing is laughable as I just helped my daughter set up a Bitcoin Roth IRA on Swan  to max out 23/24 contributions prior to an ETF approval but Truth prevails! 
 I’m an UC customer. She is a 25-year old teacher with a limited budget. Therefore, the UC $900 set up fee was a factor plus she was already DCA’ing on Swan.

To get her motivated, we split the 2023/2024 max Roth contributions and I guaranteed her portion of the investment against losses through 2024.  We got it done between Christmas break & New Years Day.  

Orange Pill your kids, they will eventually understand…plus her inheritance will largely be in bitcoin!!! 
 Awesome…Dad is the best gig so enjoy the ride!

 Leadership in the United States is undisciplined, self-serving, prideful, corrupt & shameful.  Opt out with bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/e216fb8ae8176c9f204e9424df723c6fac01dd68a95a89e511d07b0f37a6d6e4.jpg  
 An attitude of gratitude for all the Bitcoin educators & podcasters who ensured I never flinched from stacking aggressively during bear markets. Thank you for what you do! 
 Always inspired by the talented visionaries that pass through @Bitcoin Park.  Stay the course, for the tipping point is near! 
 TRUTH:  In the face of adversity, the old America is disintegrating…welcome to the early and awkward emergence of the next American republic.
