 I bet we could get him out without breaking anything if 10k people showed up outside the prison with cameras and waving American flags.  
 Will tomorrow be the day a relative finally starts asking questions about Bitcoin? 

Remember - the whole purpose of the ETFs is to get 6102'd and save the government. That's what it's for, and it's better that way. But if you don't teach your peeps how to self custody, you're setting them up to get rugged. 
 Ngl, this might even persuade me to vote

 Yuuup. My mom too. Crazy how much time she spends on that 
 Lots of jubilation about Trump coming out with a pro- #Bitcoin script, but I’d just like to rem... 
 Politicians can't be trusted, even if they appear to be on your side. It might be better to have someone who's against all of our ideals if they are incompetent or largely disliked. Losing some policy decisions can be tolerated if it means getting more people on our side.  
 Coerced consent is not consent. 
 Possibility space is under some kind of pressure. That's why, when you figure one thing out, a million more things rush through. I wonder if the pressure exerted across possibility space is proportional to the expansion of physical space... 
 TIL the US specifically targeted the largest church in Asia when it nuked Nagasaki, which was the center of Christianity in Japan and was the first city in Japan to open to foreign trade, even though there were better military targets nearby.

Think about that. 

What message does that send? What message does it send that these details are omitted from our schooling? 

For Christians, at the least, it should show you what the US gov really is. At the least, you should remember not to throw pearls before swine. 
 Newb question: what are these little icons under my profile pic? On Amethyst.  
 They change sometimes - do the relays go down sometimes? Do they pick up the note when they come back? 
 You're very helpful! I think you answered my question a few days ago too. Thank you! 
 That stupid vaccine gave me grey hair. Not joking! I didn't have grey before, but right after, I have those silver sides. I'm young!

It also gave me tinnitus, chest pains, difficulty breathing, and a dizziness that only goes away if I exercise. Very weird! 
 And puffy feet. Can't forget the puffy feet. 
 Truth exists, but whole and perfect Truth is unknowable. That jewel of perfection always exists over the horizon, casting rays and shadows over our perception, drawing us forward while taunting us. Hubris is to believe you know something ; humility is to understand that you know nothing. To know an incomplete truth is to know nothing, as the unknowable unknown always harbors the ability to destroy you. There is only one way for perfect Truth to enter your life - that is, if it chooses to.

 I never got COVID, but I got the vaccine and nearly died from it. I'm still dealing with health problems from that fuckin vax.

 Why do you put Jung and Marx in the same sentence? Is there a connection? 
 Every drop of sweat is a prayer. Exercise, pray, listen to music - there is hope and there is a future. 
 1997 asian financial crisis is happening again... tomorrow. I say tomorrow, let's see. 
 Worst three presidents of all time:

Lincoln, Wilson, FDR 
 Worst three president of all time:

ALL OF THEM

And all of the falsely "elected" presidents too. 
 Mine will say, "marks of the beast not accepted" 
 I dream of either a coffee shop or a fitness center where I put up a big bold sign that says "20% discount if pay in BTC" 
 Making progress with health - heart rate while exercising is much lower (good), and exercising much longer.

Some problems persist : frequent dizziness while at rest, edema in feet, blood pressure still very high, tinnitus is like a jet engine in my head.

Never getting vaxed ever again. Never never never. I've learned that lesson. 
 Dream flow: buy new phone, enter 12 words, done. 

Everything's set up, including my config, apps... 
 Part of why I like buying a new phone is because it DOESN'T have the mess I left on the old one...

 We got the ETFs, the Trojan horse of freedom is in, it's time to stop walking on eggshells and do it. 
 "Most men in power become villains." 
 This is why there are so many legends of great kings that didn't want to be king... David, Arthur, that one guy in Afghanistan, etc. 
 This morning I realized : 

Before humanity can colonize other worlds, we first have to be able to colonize our oceans. ALL living planets must be ocean worlds because of water's exceptional heat capacity. 

First, the Pacific. Second, Antarctica. Third, Venus. Fourth, Jupiter's moons. Fifth, Mars. Sixth, the galaxy. That's a more realistic plan for human expansion. 
 The United Nations would be more aptly named the "United States." Most nations are not represented in the UN. Only states are represented. Why aren't the Navajo, Cherokee, Australian aboriginals, and Hawaiians represented at the UN? And the thousands of other nations. And if it's really meant to be a United States, why isn't Texas represented? 
 I wish I'd seen this before getting vaxed... Man, I regret it. Maaaaaan, the hell I've been through after that jab... 
 You were one of the first people I remember really standing up to the bullshit 
 Your talk on the Bitcoin Matrix on YouTube from around that time sticks out in my memory. Good stuff. You represent the Bitcoiner culture I like to be a part of. 
 I'm pretty sure it's a broken system. The bonds are always set unrealistically high because judges know bond companies exist, and imo they increase the chance of the defendant running away because an additional liability in the form of debt makes disappearing more attractive. So, imo, it's just another example of American corruption. 
 Counter sue, on grounds of human rights violations, try them at the Hague, and make them internationally hunted criminals. That's what would happen in a functioning "justice" system. 
 There's no way Biden's approval is even that high. Even left wingers were calling him a pedo during the election. He has no base. It's all illusion. 
 Why are doctors always liars? 
 Day 4 of 1 hour on exercise bike. It estimates 200 calories burned. 
 We need to complete the terraforming project that got interrupted 12000 years ago - double the Earth's atmospheric pressure and increase red light.

HOW else can you explain the health benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and red light therapy? That, combined with the crazy archaeology in Egypt and China.... Dude, we're not from here. 
 So the cold war between the US and China is actually playing out as a hash war?

 VPNs aren't even that great. Most backstab their customers and hand over your info. In China, VPNs stop working during politically sensitive times, which is telling. VPNs are clearly insufficient. 
 I'm so happy to have my health back (mostly). After the vaccine, my health took a nosedive for about a year. I was terrified - so terrified, I prayed and begged God to let me live. I was agnostic previous to that. My doctor (a VA doctor) was completely useless. I researched like my life depended on it... because it did depend on it. I started taking supplements (vit D and some other stuff based on what I found about problems after the vaccine, based on my blood work) and going on long walks in maximum sunshine. I kept praying. I still feel like something inside is wrong, but I'm so much better now than a few months ago. I still need to find a doctor that will be candid and honest, but I'm on the right track, and I'm so thankful for that. 

That's what I'm thinking about today as I exercise. Just surviving is winning.  
 maintained elevated heart rate for 30 minutes - 6 months ago, I would have had a heart attack if I did that. 100%, guaranteed, it would have killed me. Winning. 
 Investing is fiat thinking. How can you invest when you know the price of everything is wrong? There's only one thing worth buying, and if you think it's "investing" you're ngmi 
 Actually, I agree... But only about investing in Bitcoin companies. And I'm not saying investing will always be fiat thinking. Hyperbitcoinization is coming. All prices will reach rational equilibria. But right now, investing is fiat. Thinking Bitcoin is an investment is fiat. That's all I meant. 
 Promote the fudge outta this. Make Satoshi a Victoria Secret model. Women spend - they get into Bitcoin, we get a circular economy. 
 Noticed nostrverse.net addresses under people's names. What's it for? I'm too dumb for the jargon on their website. 
 Is "request deletion" just delete? And are there any pros or cons to posting a lot or perhaps too much? And what is a post called on Nostr? Am I squawking? 
 Thanks again! 
 Are there filters? I was thinking about how I could use Nostr for teaching, but the adult content might make this impossible.  
 Oh ok, I actually could do that right now. I wasn't sure what the point would be, but I have a Start9 thingamabob set up and that's an app in it's marketplace. Thanks for telling me about that! 
 Whoa, okay. I was never on Twitter, so this is even more of a new experience for me than most, probably. Who can see this? I bet probably nobody. Say something if I'm wrong. 
 Testing testing 123 new to Nostr, "caw, ork, screech!" or whatever noise a nostrich makes.  
 Exactly the message I needed. Exactly.  
 French Polynesia.

 "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's; render unto God what is God's"

Statists think this means "pay taxes" 😂 
Only libertarians or anarchists understand what it means. Amazing how Jesus had the perfect words to trick his enemies but speak directly to his followers.
