I’ll just keep stacking.  We delude ourselves when we think we can predict the future.

I’m working hard to need a smaller belt size.  Hope to get one of yours when I do😎🚁


Big suits already bought the pre-market.  They’re waiting for the retail suits to come in the morning and pay way higher prices than they did.


There’s whole compilations of Trump saying he hasn’t even was project 2025 and has nothing to do with it so I doubt anything g changes there.  Best resistance to all politicians is to stack bitcoin and live your life without giving in to any of the fear narratives.


I think most bitcoiners would be good seeing prices in dollars and paying in bitcoin for now.  nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 seems to have cracked some of the code going with “bitcoin preferred” for his wine.  Either way, your stuff looks nice!


You are right it must be settled in dollars.  However, it was never your bitcoin and you’re selling ibit shares back to the market, not to Blackrock.  Blackrock’s bucket increases and decreases based on whether people want to give them dollars to convert or receive dollars.


Kill it and be free.


I try hard to empathize with other people’s misfortune.  My joy at seeing leveraged traders getting rekt means I’m still a work in progress😂


💯 Get up, show up, do hard things.


All stocks trade 24/7 if you are a big enough trader and participate in pre-markets.   It’s only retail waiting to get in on what the institutions have been doing over the weekend.  That’s why trading is a loosing game and buy and hold is what most often works long term.


I still think it will transform the developing world.  Right now it’s still easier for wealthier people to take risk.    For example, I think I’m right about bitcoin, but if I’m wrong I still have a good job and can start again without missing a meal.  Once Bitcoin is widely perceived as the safe option, that’s when I’d guess it starts to transform the people who have always worked hard but don’t have access to a stable financial system.


GM FREEDOM!


Wow.  Great summary, I wasn’t aware of his story.   I’m convinced that in the not too distant future we will look back on the copyright era as the medieval times.  Information can’t be owned, only kept secret.  Once it’s published, it’s public.


So strange that they think they have a say in these things.  The network is outside their control and they can’t stand it.  It’s like the FAA deciding they  will now regulate all bird flight procedures.


If you find yourself sitting in church this weekend think someone else really needs to hear the message, this is my advice:

God almost always reveals truth to you so you can make changes in your life.  Almost never is it so that you can tell someone else what to do.


💯.  I don’t disagree.  No doubt the US printing money and acquiring bitcoin is good for bitcoin and will pump my stack in $ terms.   I’m just not good intentionally stealing from my countrymen to pump my stack and I don’t trust government to use the value they have stolen for honorable purposes.


Nope, that’s why I said some, not all.


Bitcoiners: Taxation and money printing are theft.

Also some Bitcoiners:  The government should spend money acquiring a #bitcoin reserve.

Make it make sense?


💯 “You’re not the boss of me” is the proper response to “you need to…..”😁


Mainstream media has been downgraded to minorstream media.  Long live rand0 media. 😎🚁


My opinion is governments should not hold reserves other than to meet a few months expenses.  The citizens should hold reserves.   It is then on government to provide services worthy of being funded by citizens.


I agree.  The only good bitcoin reserve is promoting policies that encourage your citizens hold as much bitcoin as possible.


💯 Yes!  If you come here to provide value, welcome.   You’re not a citizen and have no say in governing policy, but welcome and good luck.


Lots of scared people today contemplating what they’ll do if government no longer funds their pay.  Having to provide value the market actually desires is scary for them.


Do t give up, there will still be opportunities 😁


Your nostr family is celebrating with you! 😁🚁

I’m happy with my Liberty safe.   I’m primarily protecting items from fire and an undetermined/hurried thief.  If I wanted protection from Feds or a professional with time, I’d have to spend a lot more money.   I don’t think storing bitcoin keys on my own property subject to a search warrant or wrench attack is a good idea, so not worried about that.


Mainstream media is now minorstream media.


Nice!   What type of vehicle we talking here?


Probably right here on your nostr latest feed.  Info filtered by the  nostriches.

I’m sorry to hear that.  I can only recommend turning off the “news” and take an assessment of your life.  You’ll probably find you can live a nice life either way.   I strongly prefer one outcome in this election.  If it doesn’t go my way I’ll just consider it one more data point on understanding where I live.  Anyone trying to induce fear in you is not your friend.   Peace to you Isa.

Oh I recognize heir power is real not imaginary.  If a majority of the people consent to the way they govern then they have power.  So be it.   I don’t live in fear, they can only kill my body.  My hope is in the Lord which is why I already experience true freedom regardless of the circumstances around me.  The fact that my life is awesome right now doesn’t change my opinion that the government should fear the people more than the people should fear the government.


💯.   The people don’t pick leaders.  The leaders (citizens) pick representatives.   Representatives have no inherent power except that which the governed willing submit to.

Capital gains taxes are a scam since the gain is usually due to inflation created by monetary system in the 1st place.   Capital gains tax will die as bitcoin becomes the measure of value.    I think Gov policy will be:  Please spend your bitcoin freely and engage in economic activity within our borders to benefit our citizens.

We had our kids cavities fixed unless dentist thought tooth would be out soon.  They all went to a regular dental practice rather than pediatric dentist.  Not a pediatric case, but my neighbor had a tooth infection, ignored it, and now is paralyzed from the infection. Never thought before of tooth problems being so close to spinal cord.  If you leave it, I’d just make sure it’s not something that can turn into an infection.


I think we care about authorship/identity because we care about reputation/trustworthiness.  The original organizer of good ideas will be who people seek out when they have new questions.  People who copy (including AIs) will only be able to answer with summaries of already answered questions.


Lots of people are dumb because being dumb has no consequences.  I bet they figure it out after they get hurt.


💯.  If you put organized information out in the public domain it is no longer property.  Property can be destroyed, information cannot and is thus something different.  Don’t want someone using/copying your ideas….. Keep them secret.


There is no such thing as intellectual property outside of stuff you keep secret.  Once you put it out in public it is no longer property.  It’s plagiarism when you claim to be the original creator of the exact thought and you’re not.  Plagiarism is an academic/reputation/moral issue, not a criminal issue.


Imagine thinking ideas are exclusive and it is the role of government to stop other people from using the ideas you put into public.   That sounds more communist to me.   If you don’t want other people to copy your ideas, it’s on you to keep them a trade secret.  If patents and copyright weren’t a fake form of government intrusion, they’d never expire.

As nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l says, bitcoin is the absorber of liquidity.


True.  That I will do 😎🚁


Nope, I won’t be holding any fiat waiting for that day to come.   If I haven’t retired from paid employment yet, then I will enjoy getting more sats per dollar every payday.


Same😎


Hey, Teacher, leave that kid alone


I agree, and I think Hal was right that there will be banks.  Hal was early and probably would have refined his ideas with the advent of liquid, lightning, mints, etc.   If they day ever comes that I have BTC in a bank, them creating there own currency that is not 1:1 sats will be the day I start the bank run😎


You know as a bitcoiner how you can be talking to a normie about money, the economy, the Federal Reserve, inflation, the debt spiral, fractional reserve banking, etc and you realize pretty quickly that the person only has a rudimentary idea about any of these things, but will respond with something like, “But bitcoin has no real value,” and then quickly realize everything they say is some headline they have taken from msm?

I feel the exact same way when talking about politics to my liberal friends.


I’d think the interest is coming from people who borrow and plan to pay back more sats than they borrowed.  However, since there is no way for the bank to create more bitcoin, if they make a bad loan both the bank and depositors are at risk.  Depositors will be very attentive to the banks lending practices and the banks will be very conservative in their lending.  I’d imagine many banking structures, included reserve lending, will exist to accommodate both the high risk/high reward and the  low risk depositors.  In fact some customers may just pay a fee (negative interest) to be at an institution that is more a custodian than a lender.


Banks are only a problem if they can create more of the money they claim to hold.


I will never see anything you post on Instagram.  I say Nuke it and make people come to nostr to interact with you.

I had enough before the dang boating accident.  Someday again.


My general view is that church members should have lots of bitcoin and the church organization should have just enough revenue and reserves to meet a few months expenses.  Therefore, I have no problem with a church using someone like nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en since most of the donations will be turned into US dollars for now to meet expenses.   Anything extra bitcoin can accrue value with private keys managed by a reputable custodian.  Custody set ups get hard especially for a church operating under 501c3 of the tax code and for churches that routinely rotate members through leadership.   This would allow members to learn to use bitcoin and if the time comes, where the state becomes the enemy of the church, members will be ready to use bitcoin P2P to support staff directly and cover ministry expenses.

So many new questions.


This is my story as well 🫡


People are used to the idea that once they have money, that money will make them more money with no additional work.  This is called yield/interest.

Not so with bitcoin.  If you have 2 bitcoin, it might increase in purchasing power but you’ll not have 2.1 bitcoin unless you provide value )work) to someone who will give you another .1 bitcoin.   The size of your stack will only go down once you stop working

Once everyone realizes this, I think many are going to panic buy as much as they can now since they realizes it will take actual real work in the future to get more.


The resistance will grow exponentially when everyone realizes they can resist just by opting out.


Many people are gonna panic when they figure out #bitcoin has no yield.


Every time I have fiat with no short term spending plan (bills) it gets converted to bitcoin irregardless of current exchange rate.

When I read about stock brokers renting offices close to the trading floors so that their trading programs could execute trades 1/100 of a second faster, I knew the idea of a retail trader was a scam.  Best I could do was an index fund and be average, and it worked fine.    Bitcoin is different, I feel like the whole system is designed for the average user and over time, the humble sat stacker will do better than the institutions.


💯. If you have to wait for the stock market to open to make a trade, you’re not even in the real game.  Just  produce something and stack sats.


Surely ice cream is exempt from this  theory ??


It should be an interesting ride.  As the bitcoin future unfolds I think lots of things will seem obvious in hindsight that we have no idea about now.

I don’t think any executive representative (president, governor, mayor, sheriff, etc) has any authority to order citizens to do anything.    You can execute the duly passed constitutional laws and that’s it.   You can suggest I do something like evacuate.   You can give me info collected by government services.  You can inform me there will be absolutely no emergency service response if I stay.  But mandate or order me????   You somehow are under an illusion that you are my leader.  You are not my leader, you’re my representative.

Good questions.  Yes, worldwide the Christian church continues to grow despite declines in some areas of the world.  The Bible is verifiable, there is no piece of historical literature with more early manuscript support, nothing else is even close.  The catholic church is one part of the Christian church, I happen to attend an independent church.  The majority of Christians consider the Bible the source code and any human organization of community is accountable to the Bible more than local leadership.   Any church or demonization could disappear tomorrow and nothing changes for all other Christians.

Unfortunately you’d have years of financial/administrative ruin from the FAA long before you’d ever be before a jury.   I agree with the energy though and would like to see some wealthy folks give it a whirl. 🚁


I get the sentiment, and share the frustration, yet I have decided me being pissed off is in fact the goal of the system and I refuse to give in.   Today I shall happily enjoy my life and those around me as I move my time and energy into a better value transfer network.


No system of agreeing upon or establishing property rights, no system of impartial criminal justice, no  community projects.   Basically the strongest are able to impose their will through violence and the others aren’t able or willing to organize as a group to be stronger than the strongman.


Mostly.  I’ve been to countries with no functioning government and they all suck.


FEMA spent money exactly where our representatives in the white house wanted them to spend it.


I hope this is true someday.  Those dang boating accidents need to stop.


Yep.  The result of a system is the point of a system.


The Army took my DNA sample in the 90s when we had no idea what DNA was.  It’s like dental records, but better they said.  Guess they’ll know it’s me they tried to put in the gulag with the other bitcoiners if that day comes.


He needs something checked and it’s not a prostrate🙄


People who can wake up early, show up on time, with a good attitude, and enjoy being productive are less worried about how many sats they have stacked.  It’s the bitcoiners who know their money comes from a fiat scam who are worried about time running out.


Separation of state and money on a hard money standard seems to fix a bunch of problems.


I usually keep $100 or so physical cash in my wallet and vehicles.  If you try to take it from me by force you’re rolling the dice.   Am I in the mood to make sure I get to see my grand kids again, or am I in the mood to try to clean up the world for my grand kids.  I have the same approach to how much #bitcoin you could get if you broke into my home.


Maybe because we older people still think of it as a phone rather than pocket computing device?


Maybe the government shouldn’t have money to give anyone.   All aid should be voluntary from citizens who never had to pay shakedown money to the state in the 1st place.


Homes are where we talk most about our family, so makes sense I guess.  GN

Sorry, that didn’t really work.  Trying to figure how to post a previous  note of mine as a reply in this  note.  I’m a rookie nostrer


What you protect is the true indication of what you love.


Forceful injection is grounds for a violent rebellion and an establishment of a new system through whatever means are found necessary.  No reasonable, peace loving, decent, person would think otherwise.

At least a Shitcoiner was a step on the path to bitcoin maxi for many I know.


Pain is a teacher.


This one was specifically for what caused a 115kv line to fault this morning.  Turned out it was caused by a bird streamer (poop).   Other times just looking for problems that need maintenance.


I look forward to the non-productive, rent seeking, cantillionaires loosing revenue and influences.  If there are areas of my life I don’t yet realize that will suffer under a sound money standard, so be it, I want an honest system.

Step away a bit and live local.  Face to face interactions and helping friends and family with something are the antidote.

Also, for me it’s a spiritual worldview that God is being patient, giving people a chance to repent and put their faith in Jesus.   A time is coming where that option will no longer exist and he’ll punish evildoers.  Until then I’ll try to make this world a better place and represent him well.  And yes, I think Bitcoin is consistent with making the world a better place and a life built on truth.


Reckless frontier.  Sounds exciting 🚁

Ooof.  There’s always two ways to change the transaction when you have a counterparty.


👍🏻 more proof there is no product you can make that  doesn’t have a market fit somewhere😎


💯. Moving my time and energy to the bitcoin network as I can.


Took me a while to accept that the day might not be in this life.  God has been faithful in my life, so I trust him with my future.


I don’t code, but this sounds bullish for an honest digital value transaction network to me.


I’ve come to the point that all fast food chains going out of business due to lack of customers wouldn’t bother me at all.  “But what about the workers” you say?   They’ll find other productive things to do to add value to society, it’s how markets work.


When things go wrong, a redneck neighbor with tools is better than a neighbor with a masters degree in emergency management.


John Kerry is the epitome of unearned power and he’s like a petulant child watching it fade away.  Mocking him is the proper response.


I don’t know the answer to this and defer to you for health advice.  I did however live near and work a few months at a sugar beet processing plant.  It’s an industrial nightmare of chemistry processes.   There’s nobody enjoying a nice bite of sugar beet or making fresh squeezed sugar beet juice.

John Kerry continues to see his influence and power wane.  We do well to mock and ridicule him until he fully fades away to irrelevance.


Figured as much.  Bitcoin boating accident and back pain started at the same time.

Sick man.  He says he’s frustrated that too much information makes it hard to build consensus.  His body language is that he’s frustrated he can’t dictate the narrative.  His power is waning and he knows it, which is a beautiful thing to watch.

The turbine wheels in a PT6 engine turn 36000 rpm at over 1000deg and the metal somehow doesn’t turn into goo.  The metallurgy to make this happen is magic to me but I know it works.  Even with my ignorance of all the tech specs, if you put this bundle of awesomeness in a helicopter, I can use this technology to get work done.

#bitcoin and #nostr also have all kinds of technology that  I don’t need to understand to know it works.  Put it in an app and I can use that app to help make the world a better place.  Technologies need both creators and users to get stuff done.  Your contribution is important and necessary even if you are mostly on just one side of the tech equation.

One lie is thinking you can judge a person by what they say they intend to do rather than by what they have actually done.


If you can’t walk your city in peace 24/7, the people in government have failed and must be scorned and replaced.


As a veteran who volunteered to join the military, I will not ever support a military draft.  If accurate information doesn’t inspire the citizens to join a war effort, then we need to re-evaluate and get to the negotiating table no matter what.

If you insist on a draft, I insist on it starting with 50yr olds, then 49,51,48, 52 etc since no young people were involved in creating the conflict.

I don’t know why, but today seems like a good day to say this.

I get ya.  I think the ability to exercise free speech anonymously is an essential tool to resist tyranny.   I also know I’m not willing to put in the work to maintain anonymity.


I was one of the last people to graduate college without internet or cell phones.  High school and college were wonderful times in my life.  I think modern communication systems are awesome and I use them everyday.  I also have no fear of a life without them.

Congrats on 400!


If it’s even possible, eventually whoever is spending dollars to suppress the price will get tired of doing so and just acquire more BTC


Encouraging church members to hold bitcoin and to give as needs arise seems pretty straightforward.  As soon as it comes to the church entity holding bitcoin it gets more complicated.   Custody, key management, how about as people leave, how to spend the bitcoin, etc.  Many churches in US are registered as 501c3 organization.  Compliance with corporate and tax laws etc.  the actual mechanics rather than just concepts don’t yet seem to have any best practices.


This is perfect.  I graduated college over 30yrs ago and still have a similar recurring dream.


This a major driver of my Bitcoin bullishness.  When people find out they can focus on the rest of their life and just save in bitcoin they’ll come running.


Never live on an island with an unarmed citizenry.


Invalid question.  People who disarm citizens or arrest people for thoughts on social media are not public servants.   People who engage in illegitimate acts of government using the threat of state violence should always know getting shot by the citizens who wish to live in peace is an option.

Rather than organized religion, I think of it as Christianity done in community.  I attend an independent evangelical church and it is a blessing in my life, not a set of rules (I don’t do well with man’s rules😂).   I believe God always existed as the father son and Holy Spirit living in relationship.  So as people designed in God’s image, we are meant to live in relationship.   Church is just a place where we find the benefit of meeting, sharing and worshiping in community with other believers.


I refuse to live in any kind of fear and think that upsets them.

As Commander In Chief, the president is clearly the leader of those who have chosen to join the military and submit to that leadership (as I did earlier in my life).  Just as the president is the leader of those who choose to be employed in the executive branch and submit to that leadership.   But as regard to the general citizens, the president is only our representative in the executive branch and has no authority except that given in our constitution and duly passed constitutional laws.


I think the state probably is an endorsed institution, but I'm not married to the idea.  Proverbs about honest rulers being a blessing, Old Testament standard that a group not an offended individual needed to agree for capital punishment, Jesus didn't tell the soldiers to abandon their posts, Pauls encouragement to follow laws as it remains possible, etc, imply to me that civil society functions better with an honest government.

However, just like families and churches, it should be obvious that a government that is not encouraging moral society and is not just, should not be tolerated.  I'd do what I could to stop an abusive father or pastor and I should do the same for an abusive state entity.

In the US in particular, I've made it one of my goals to encourage my fellow Christians to stop using the phrase "pray for our leaders".  We don't have leaders, we have representatives chosen through a constitutional democratic process.  This includes the person we choose to represent us in the executive branch.

If we believe that authority is instituted by God, then we should realize that the authority God uniquely instituted for our country 200 years ago is the authority of citizens as "leaders" as expressed through the constitution and constitutional laws.   It's the citizens who are failing here and the current bunch who control the monopoly on violence in DC and in our communities are probably a judgment for our apathy as the true leaders of the state.

It's an interesting discussion


I look forward to a world where all these announcements say, “We are obviously ignoring the government’s commands”

I like this take.  You owe nobody your attention and your content is a gift for those new to Bitcoin and nostrils.  I for one will probably never see anything you put on X again, but I'll look forward to your insights on nostr.

Another day on the lake, another #bitcoin seedphrase lost overboard.  Someday I’ll learn.

Some explorers left their boats safely tied up in case they needed them again.  Some burned the boats after they reached shore so there was no option to turn back.   Both groups had a part in establishing new settlements.


If we know how every effort is going to turn out, life isn’t really an  adventure.

My mom texted me late last night asking if I had taken advantage of Elon’s offer to double my #bitcoin and crypto investments.

I called her right back to let her know whatever she was watching was a scam.   She said it was a YouTube live stream with 75K people watching so it couldn’t be a scam.   I told her how in under a minute even a Google search told me about the AI generated scam.  Second AI video scam that caught her attention in the last month

Glad my mom still contacts her kids before spending money.   Keep the multi-generation family ties strong.  Each generation has something to offer the others to keep them out of trouble and make a strong team.


Looks like a great day!  Unfortunate that you’ll likely loose your private keys in a boating accident….


HODL, great questions.  Lots of answers here already but I’ll add mine to the list.

A relationship with Jesus starts with repentance, knowing that you can’t meet Gods perfect standards on your own, and then asking God to forgive you.  The Good news is that God already knows you can’t do it on your own and has made atonement for your sins through Jesus’ death and resurrection.  When you put your faith in Him, he says you’re forgiven and He sends His spirit to live with you and guide you.

Google “Romans Road to Salvation” and you can see a few verses from the book of Romans that explain this process of coming to faith.

It’s at this point you can start grow in your faith, Christian life and feel strongly about Him like you asked.

If you want to read some from the Bible, I’d suggest starting with the book of John, Romans, and Galatians.

If you want to read a different book explaining Christianity, my go to recommendation is Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.

I’ve been on my Christian walk for 40ish years and I can’t imagine doing it any other way.  I pray that you find the answers you’re seeking.


Interesting, I was just contemplating if it could be from a state actor wanting to see how the network will stop notes at the relay level.

Good stuff!   One of my biggest ah ha moments in my faith was when I realized it was God who initiated the sequence of events when he asked Satan “Have you noticed my servant Job”

God has a redemptive plan for all His creation and it’s my role to praise Him whether I perceive it to be good times or bad times.

My preferred system is a decentralized system where participants voluntarily contribute to build a whole that benefits the participants to a greater extent than they could build individually.

If you insist on a mammoth, centrally controlled, tyrannical system,  then don’t be surprised when I fight to make sure it’s my people who are in charge of this system.


Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind.

💯.  Gut feelings are usually a sign that your subconscious is picking up signals from your senses that your conscious mind has not yet processed.   Creating space and time is key to letting the conscious mind catch up.

In the helicopter world we teach people to respect this process when conducting operations such as an approach to a new landing zone.   Many stories of it not “feeling right” followed by stopping the approach and then seeing the power lines you would have hit had you continued a minute later.

In many areas of life it might be days, weeks, or months before you “see” the hazard.

I get this.  As a helicopter pilot, I tend to assume something is going to go wrong  until I’ve been proven otherwise.  This has served me well and kept me safe for 30+ yrs.   However, the approach spills over in to the rest of my life.   I’m not convinced the attitude increases my overall happiness.

Right now many people sell their bitcoin because they want more dollars.  Eventually, I think we won’t “sell” our bitcoin just like now we don’t think of selling our dollars.  We’ll give the plumber our bitcoin for the work he’s done because that is the only currency he’ll accept for his work.  If you want bitcoin you’ll have to earn it by providing goods and services.  If you want goods and services from others, you’re gonna have to spend some of your bitcoin to get it.

The power to opt out is underrated.   I used to think of power mostly in terms of offense or defense, one side or the other, try to beat them or stop them.

Currently, I realize there are still some battles worth fighting, but most of the time, just saying I’m not participating in your system is the most beautiful exercise of power.

#bitcoin and nostr are gateways to opt out power.


Corporate HR:  That  note you posted on #nostr is offensive.  You’re gonna have to delete that if you want to continue to work here.

Looks like an impending bitcoin boating accident to me.  Careful out there😎.


If you want an answer to that question look up the interview between Tucker Carlson and President Bukele.  Bukele explains it well.


RFK maybe knows he has the power to actually sway people's opinion whereas the other two pretty much know their voters are locked in.  Interesting times.


Under the current system way too much goes to the people whose only contribution is moving/managing money.  Under a sound money standard like bitcoin, more people will be incentivized to actually produce goods and services, specialize in a skill and be rewarded for doing so.  Bitcoin as a currency is a long process, but I think there will be a day when the government will not be able to acquire stuff for a money that can be created just by the federal reserve pushing a button.

We'll know when we get there, but my eggs are in the bitcoin basket.

There is no way such a complex machine could be built by one person.  People can have very specialized skills like being a rotor blade composite engineer because they earn money for their work that other people are willing to take for goods and services.   If there was no money a composite engineer would need to find a farmer who needed composite work done in order to get food in a barter economy.   Money allows us to specialize and still get what we need.  Without money there are no composite engineers thus no new helicopters.  Bitcoin is a better money and will make free trade of specialized skills even better.

I’m uninterested in what you think I should do.

I’m very interested in what you did and how it worked out.

#bitcoin stories are more powerful than policies.


My Christian faith is a very important component of my life and long ago I learned to only engage in faith conversations with those curious about my beliefs.  This background made it easier to quickly adopt the same approach with conversations about Bitcoin, which is also an important part of my life.

As a professional pilot I remember watching your journey.  It's still fun to watch someone learning to take to the skies.  You did great!

I imagine you feel the same watching someone figure out bitcoin.


3 boys and a daughter here, protecting your baby girl is a good and natural instinct.   You just got some steps out of order this time and did good apologizing quickly.

I've made it my goal to never have to say "sorry, I didn't realize that".  Not saying it's easy, but training yourself to ask questions/gather more information when emotions rise (assuming no imminent threat exists) gives time and space to later only raise your voice because you chose to for effect rather than from emotion.

Good news is you'll have hundreds of times in the near future where kids will get you upset and you'll get to improve your response and be the dad/friend you aspire to become.
