I agree & we need more of them.
You have a pretty switched on & humble clan of youngsters yourself though. You should be a very proud mumma.
You know he's on Nostr?

I used it a while ago.
It was pretty good for a community group chat.
Not ideal for direct messaging from memory.
Simplex is better for direct messaging & calls.
Bitcoin is going much higher than $200k this epoch.
I wouldn't constrain that to occur within a year because I don't expect the usual drawn out bloody bear market.
I'd also be very surprised if it doesn't hit $100k this year.
The PTSD from epoch 4 is very real & common. Few are bullish enough.
NGU is inseperable & critical to Bitcoin's success. It's part of the circular incentives that make Bitcoin indestructible.
The only better way to track Bitcoin's NGU in purchasing power is against gold.
Freedom is a mindset. It took the discovery of Bitcoin to reveal this but Bitcoin itself isn't required for freedom, responsibility is.
Also - it looks like your Bitcoin image has been flipped vertically. The B is upside down and angled in the wrong direction.
Did I mention I'm an autist? 😆
At some point I'm going to get a big shed & fill it with KUN26 Hiluxs.
1 or 2 will be for parts & the others will be for when I eventually can't fix my daily driver.
If you don't know where the yield is coming from, you're probably the yield.
In this case, I can see where the yield is coming from. It's coming from entities that want some exposure to Bitcoin without the downside risk. These are the entities buying the MSTR bonds.
Should MSTR stuff up massively in some way or Bitcoin goes to zero (heaven forbid), bond holders are probably going to be ok. At worst they get the coupon value since bond holders get made whole before shareholders.
The Bitcoin risk is entirely carried by the shareholders. Because of the bond holders this downside risk is amplified but so is the downside risk.
The most likely risk I see with MSTR is the downside risk should we see another Bitcoin bear market. MSTR currently trades at a premium to the Bitcoin they allegedly hold. If Bitcoin dumps hard, this will likely flip to a discount (like we saw with GBTC). This is when I might consider buying some if I happened to have fiat lying around (which I don't & probably won't).
The highest impact risk is them losing control of their sats. This is a devastating risk should it eventuate. In the short term (<4 years) it's unlikely to occur but on a long enough time frame, it's a certainty.
The beautiful thing is that he's found a bit of a glitch to accumulate sats using the fiat system. Every Bitcoiner benefits from what he's doing via their increased purchasing power, without wearing the risk that shareholders do.

I just had my first text exchange from someone I haven't heard from in 18 months.
It ended with him asking for that exchange I recommended to him.
For reference it's at $135k AUD now

Always play the long game.
Plant seeds & nurture them if they sprout.

It's funny, seasonal allergies were 1 of the few things that changing my diet hadn't resolved.
Last year I started spraying a diluted solution of CDS symptomatically up my nostrils. It seemed to relieve the symptoms & sinus inflammation but it wasn't at the worst time seasonally.
This year I've only had 3 or 4 episodes of sneezing. Each time I got relief from the CDS & it hasn't returned the following day. A few of these episodes were after brush cutting long grass.
Keep it in mind if it still causes you issues.
Yeah same. I've lost my orthorexia but gained a fair amount of body fat with a more relaxed diet.
I'm still surprised to not be sneezing & itching much yet though.
There's heaps of grass with seed heads now. Humidity is also high here. 🤷
I didn't suffer from allergies until I turned 20 or so.
I'm so looking forward to meeting you in meatspace one day man. We're going to have a hell of a chat, I can feel it.
So much of what was discussed resonated deeply with me.
I loved that you mentioned the inadequacy of words to express some of these Truths. The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
Much love and gratitude brothers

I spent 4hrs talking to Mum yesterday.
She's still a property maxi & can't see the need for magic internet money still.
I've finally gotten through to her about seed oils, inflation & vaccinations though. She now thinks I'm a genius because I've been talking about some of this stuff for over a decade. It was seeing this stuff in MSM that finally sold her though.
What is it with boomers & MSM?
I set her straight with Trump though. I can only imagine what they've been showing on the news about him.
Shill lightly or just take responsibility for them like Hodl did.
That's it man.
You don't need to sell Bitcoin, it sells itself.
Bitcoin & Nostr go together like steak & eggs. They're both forms of permissionless expression but are the means to an outcome & not the outcome itself.

Yeah it can all become pretty overwhelming.
Holding Bitcoin means 3 years of being laughed at with 10 months of being objectively correct.
Gotta remember to breath 💚
It's crazy to think that all the silver in the world is worth less than NVIDIA, a corporation.
Value is subjective but the value of some things seem very distorted.
Everything is unfolding exactly as it should be.
People seem to forget that Bitcoin is about empowering individuals.
Some Bitcoiners are still learning how to be their own leader.
What an exciting time to be alive! So grateful.

My 3 year old border collie died this morning after being bitten by a paralysis tick.
We've just finished burying her on our property with her favourite orange ball. This is the spot where she destroyed the grass from her crazy running around.
Taking responsibility for all things can be very challenging & uncertain at times. I'm so grateful for our time together & very sad to see her go.
Good bye girl 💚

Ux is pretty good but not as feature rich is telegram yet.
I don't think group chats are very private, but neither is Telegram.
These will both improve with time & users.
You won't get the scammers just dropping in.
It will get better with time & your identity (account) moves with you if something better is created.
I think it's a sly roundabout way to bring Bitcoiners into Nostr.
