 This is my goal for 2025. Maybe not for beers in Lugano, let’s instead make it beers in Vegas at the end of May.

You scammed people with Hex and twerked in their faces. You’re a piece of shit.

 This is incredible haha 
 Sometimes sats are well spent. 400k sats to feed four families in need this Thanksgiving.

 Good morning! Uncle is taking a break from social media, but with BTC hitting $53K, I thought I'd... 
 You’re the man. Thanks for all you do. 
 This is a rough cycle. Mentally as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a a bull market since 2017... 
 How did you share HODL’s note in this thread? I tried the Copy Link to Note on mine but it just inserted a link and not the note itself. 
 Instead of frequently doing/joining Twitter Spaces, I'm thinking of firing up #Nostr Nests going ... 
 Do it. I’ve been curious to learn more about Nostr Nests and this would give me a good reason to do so. 
 In between stacking sats, don’t forget to spend time with family and friends

 My trip to Nashville for this year’s Bitcoin conference was a blur and felt short, but here are three memories from the trip I’ll never forget:
1) Visiting @BitcoinPark 
2) The Beefsteak dinner
3) Hotstyle Takeover of @RabbitHoleRecap 

Bitcoin Park is where some of the best people work/build. While I was there, I witnessed an awesome conversation between @ODELL, @gladstein, Zack Shapiro, and TN Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. Great moment for the future of TN. Shoutout to @mads for having me as her guest.

The Beefsteak was phenomenal as always. Kudos to all the volunteers! This time the location, the menu, and the band made it unique. However, the best part was connecting with great people over food/drinks. I met so many of my favorite bitcoiners and made a bunch of new contacts.

The Hotstyle Takeover of RHR was so fun! The roast of @ODELL and @MartyBent was hilarious, they took it like champs (and even fired back haha). The convos during the rip were honest, spicy, and a great reminder of what’s at stake.

Lastly, if you’re newer to Bitcoin and haven’t been to a conference yet, go to one and build your network. Attend a couple smaller satellite events because that’s where you’ll make the best memories.

Remember, we might be considered psychopaths by some, but we’re going to win.

 Thanks! Those at the beefsteak got one. Such an awesome design. 
 HUGE shoutout to @awayslice for the blood, sweat, and tears he puts into the Beefsteak each time. This wouldn’t be possible without you. 
 I know right! 
 What a fucking night. Reunion tour starts next week. Love ya brother nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x... 
 Dude this was so fun. Epic rip. 
 This was such a good time! 
 I just spent the morning at Bitcoin Park. Incredible people, infectious energy, and important conversations. Fired up. 
 Uber driver: “Where ya headed?”
Me: “Nashville for a Bitcoin conference”
UD: “Oh…that’s still a thing?”
Me: “Bitcoin is the most important invention of our lifetime”
UD: “Really? Why is that?”

I spend the next 20 minutes talking about how I don’t like my time stolen, and neither should he. He’s interested now.

I give him three recommendations:
- Watch Lyn Alden’s video’s “How Money and Banking Work”
- Watch Jack Maller’s keynote “Intro to Bitcoin” from Bitcoin Atlantis
- Read “The Bitcoin Standard” 
 Who else is going to the Pleb Party or the RHR live show on Thursday? I’d like to meet some new bitcoiners. 
 What horrible food do you secretly love?

For me it's KFC with gravy

Fucking love that shit 
 Cheese and wine. I have to “treat” myself once a month. Only way I could rein it in.

 You helped me a ton on my journey. The moped story, the confidence, the intellectual rigor balanced with a fire meme, etc. You made me aggressively stack the last 3+ years. Forever grateful.

This reads like a love note. #nodiddy 
 Good morning 💋

Turning 38 tomorrow. Give me some late-30s life advice! 
 Happy early bday! 38 is great. Enjoy the moment!

 Listened to him (along with others) on Clubhouse for 2+ years, and as a result, I feel like my bitcoin journey hit ludicrous speed. Big props.
