 So you're saying you see Trump as a father figure  
 Maybe I misunderstood. Is Kamala the 5th grade teacher? 
 While that sounds believable I also remember this dude saying a bunch of nonsense in the last bull-run that was likely made up.

 It's that philosophy and depression are correlated  
 If a new cryptocurrency dropped and they said their main value prop was that they held a ton of bitcoin none of you would buy it.

 The Accumulation Apex:

The phenomenon of an individual or organization surpassing the point at which their bitcoin accumulation outpaces their fiat earning potential.

I haven't seen anyone else comment on this yet.

When an individual or organization holding BTC reaches the point where their fiat gains no longer make a meaningful impact on their bitcoin stack it alters their incentives. 

For example, the incentive to support bitcoin projects and other bitcoiners takes precedence over fiat any plans. 

This is a stepping stone on the bitcoin journey and it could be the primary difference between those who are crying during upwards fiat price action and those who are cheering.  
 Either outcome the only solution is the money printer. Trump knows that. He alluded to it on Rogan.  
 Republicans: party of victims

 Great video. Very information and entertaining as always.

I found it a little hard to tell when you were reading from the letter and when you were commenting on it. Had to pull up the video on a bigger screen to read along.

 Graphene users, have you found a decent voice to text option?  
 Ah that's text to voice. Nice tool though, thanks.  
 This is perfect thanks 🤙 
 Publishing media directly to relays creates a risk for the relay operator.

As they function now they only hold text events. If they held media as well they would be responsible for any illegal content on their servers, which could be placed there organically or by an attacker.

To me the risk is higher than the reward and would require anyone who wants to view that media to use that specific relay. 
 As I understand it yes, which will get tricky for image hosting, but I suppose an AI checker will be able to stop a majority of the bad stuff.

 Schizophrenia is a term psychologists use when they reach the bounds of their understanding. 

Do you have any spiritual practices? Prayer, meditation, ect?

 
 That's helped me in the past, but I've not had audible hallucinations. Went through a period of an onslaught of intrusive thoughts at one point though. 

Changing my diet, media consumption, and exercise routine helped as well.

Would you say they you're hearing voices while you're awake, while you're dreaming, or somewhere inbetween?

 So, after reading the last few chapters of the Book  of Judges, It starts going off the rails aft... 
 As I understand it many or most of the old testament stories are metaphors that are very difficult to understand intellectually, but are meant to impart a lesson. The book of judges may have an underlying spiritual meaning, but the interpretation I was given is that it's an example of what a culture is like without a proper implementation of justice.

My personal opinion is that many Christians get far too absorbed in the old testament to the point where it overrides universal truths spoken by Christ. Especially in the context of supporting Zionism.

 
 There is a gnostic theory that the Jews were worshiping the devil during periods of the old testament. I'm not too familiar with the explanation, but it might add up.
