Bitcoin is a digital asset that can be used to store and transmit value.  I think your friend should pray about it and listen to his conscience.  As a Christian, I have no concerns about bitcoin as long as I am not turning into an idol.  That would be my greater concern, but that is not limited to bitcoin.  Anything that replaces Christ in our hearts is a danger to our souls.   Hope that perspective helps.


Amazing!

A remarkably insightful description of what’s at stake in this election from Catholic Archbishop Carlo Vigano. Please read this:  (thanks Tucker Carlson for sharing)

OPEN LETTER TO AMERICAN CATHOLICS ON THE EVE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Dear Faithful American Catholics, I am addressing all of you, a few days before the Presidential Election that will call millions of American citizens to the polls.

Even in conditions of relative normality, the exercise of the vote is your moral duty, through which you cooperate in the first person in choosing the person who will lead the Nation for the next four years. But in this coming electoral round – just as in 2020 and indeed much more so – you are not simply called to choose between two candidates who happen to be on different political sides but who both nevertheless have the common good at heart in compliance with the Constitution and the Law. No; in this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.

On one side we have candidate Donald J. Trump, who, despite serious problems in his positions – especially in the matter of abortion and assisted procreation – has as his objective the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens. In Donald Trump’s America, every Catholic can practice their Faith and educate their children in it without interference from the State.

On the other side we have a candidate and a party that promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. In Kamala Harris’ America, Catholics – but also Protestants – are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul. Trump’s America can become great and prosperous again. Harris’ America is destined for invasion and for moral, social, and economic destruction: the most ferocious dictatorship.

Look at your country! Your cities have become dumps filled with derelicts and criminals, drug dealers and addicts, prostitutes and robbers. Your schools are dens of indoctrination and corruption from kindergarten onwards. In your courts, criminals are acquitted and innocents are imprisoned: new ideological crimes are prosecuted, while illegality is tolerated and encouraged. In your hospitals, multinational corporations rule, and you are their guinea pigs to be exterminated or made chronically ill so that you will be their perpetual clients. Farmers, ranchers, and fishermen are persecuted and forced to fail, while the land is grabbed by unscrupulous corporations who transform it into endless photovoltaic systems and wind turbines to power their data centers and server farms where they collect all your data, your movements, your purchases, and your political preferences. They have gone so far as to tamper with the climate by means of sophisticated geoengineering operations and devastating arson in order to make the global warming fraud credible and impose the green transition, the increase in the cost of energy, and electric cars and scooters. And all this is done based on evidence that consists of lies without any scientific proof, but which are propagated through the servile collaboration of the regime media, ever ready to label any dissenters as conspiracy theorists. But what until yesterday was dismissed as the result of conspiracy theories is now admitted by the government itself. They takeaway your sunlight; they poison you by seeding the clouds; they overwhelm your villages and your fields with deadly hurricanes; they kill your livestock and dry up your crops with induced droughts and devastating fires. They aim to control the entire food sector, to force you to eat only what they make available to you. This is what the Agenda 2030 calls for, which has been imposed without any vote by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.

In these four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, we have had a puppet in the White House and a corrupt and incompetent Vice President who has never stopped lying and deceiving voters about her past and her future. Power is managed by the criminal deep state – whose names and faces we now know – that is responsible for the destruction of your great Nation. And to ensure that the crisis is endless, new war scenarios are continually opening up, in conflicts that no one actually wants, except for those who make enormous profits from them, sacrificing human lives and compromising international stability.

You have seen what the Democrats, that is, the woke far Left, have been capable of in four years. Imagine what they will be able to do if, instead of Biden’s numerous stand-ins, his Vice President is elected – in the most scandalous and unimaginable fraud – with her entourage of LGBTQ+ Ministers, rigorously woke, sold out to China or the World Economic Forum, sponsored by George Soros or Bill Gates, manipulated by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. At that point, dear American Catholics, you will not only have to go to a different rally – as Kamala would like – in order to say “Christ is the Lord”, because saying that will be considered hate speech, and praying in front of an abortion clinic an act of terrorism. Do not think that these are remote hypotheses: wherever the woke Left takes power, it establishes the most vicious, anti-human, and anti-Christian dictatorship that humanity has ever known. And we know that every time the Left has come to power, it has never left through democratic means.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: we are not talking about two visions that are a bit different but still part of the normal political back-and-forth. No; we are talking about two diametrically opposed and irreconcilable worlds, in which Trump fights against the deep state and is committed to freeing America from its tentacled grip, while on the opposite side we have a corrupt and blackmailed candidate, an organic part of the deep state, who acts as a puppet in the hands of warmongers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, of self-proclaimed “philanthropists” like the criminals George Soros and Klaus Schwab, or of characters like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs. Their program is that of the Global Left, the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and ultimately the program of Vanguard, BlackRock, and StateStreet. Their agenda is dictated by the financial oligarchy that controls humanity to the detriment of the people: an elite that operates not only in the United States but also in Canada, Australia, Europe, and wherever politics is held hostage by their investment funds and their pseudo-humanitarian organizations dedicated to the obliteration of Western Civilization.

Behind these people – by now we should know this – are people devoted to evil, united by the satanic hatred against Our Lord Jesus Christ and those who believe in Him, mainly against the Catholic faithful. We want Christ to reign, and we proclaim it with pride: Christ is King! They want the Antichrist to reign, whose tyranny is made of chaos, war, disease, famine, and death. And the more emergencies and crises planned and created by the globalist elite increase, the more that elite has a pretext to impose new limitations, new restrictions of fundamental rights, and new social controls.

Joe Biden, the current “President,” is a servant of this subversive elite and widely blackmailable for the scandals and crimes committed by himself personally and also by his family, beginning with his son Hunter. His “Vice President,” Kamala Harris, is equally subservient to the same deep state. And the Democratic Party, to which they both belong, is the expression of the woke ideology that plagues all the parties of the global Left.

Candidate Donald J. Trump, while certainly taking some serious critical positions that a Catholic cannot agree with, represents for us, dear American faithful, in this specific historical moment, the only possible choice to counter the globalist coup that the woke Left is about to implement definitively, irreparably, and with incalculable damage for future generations.

Voting for Donald Trump means firmly distancing ourselves from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian and anti-human vision of society. It means stopping those who want to create a hellish dystopia that is even worse than the one announced by George Orwell. And it also means – do not forget – giving him our vote of confidence, so that President Trump knows that the massive vote of Catholics and Christians that brought him back to the White House must become the premise for a more incisive commitment to the defense of life from conception to natural death, the traditional family, the right of parents to educate their children, and to the defense of the Christian Faith and the cultural identity of the Nation.

I repeat: the choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan. For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.

People around the world are beginning to understand the threat that looms over them and their children’s future, and you Americans have understood it too. But even if this time it will be more difficult for the deep state to repeat the fraud of 2020, you must not think that it will resign itself to defeat so easily. Let us therefore prepare to prevent possible attacks and civil war scenarios from being used to impose martial law and new restrictions, after the attempts on his life from which President Trump providentially escaped.

But let us not forget, dear Faithful, that human energies alone are powerless in the face of this infernal display of forces. We proclaim that Christ is King – this means that Our Lord must return to reign, and the first way to make Him reign is by obeying His holy Law and living in His Grace. Let Christ reign in your hearts, in your families, in your communities, and throughout the entire United States of America: this is the only way to peace, harmony, and prosperity for your Nation.

Think of how many of you Catholics there are in the United States! Vote without hesitation, and pray that Our Lord will enlighten American citizens in making their choice and grant victory to those who, at least, have no problem proclaiming that Christ is Lord. May God bless you all, and may the Virgin of Guadalupe, she who is the Patroness of the United States and all the Americas, and Saint Michael the Archangel, protect you.

Why would you buy #Bitcoin now at $68k, when you can buy next month at $90k. Waiting is key.


A perfect response to a recent paper from the European Central Bank that spreads fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the #bitcoin.  This post is from the eloquent nostr:npub1g4lp0dl2j75ytgx3l287m2vhvktx0r363t6xm3n8r4qwq5xws47swgxt9c and worth a read.

“The @ecb is crying about Bitcoin again.

They argue that early holders are impoverishing non-holders and late adopters.

They also state that Bitcoin doesn't have an economic function.

Two quick responses before I go spend some filthy euros at the Saturday market:

1. Bitcoin is a tech product that solves one of the biggest problems in the world.

An iPhone helps you access the web on the go.

A Tesla drives you around.

Bitcoin protects your wealth with the world's strongest computing network.

Everyone wants to protect and grow their wealth.

Bitcoin is a product that everyone needs.

Far from being useless, it's extremely useful.

Failure to steel-man Bitcoin's obvious utility kills any credibility the authors have.

2. Early adopters took incredible risk for deserved reward.

Are people who bought the Google or Facebook IPOs impoverishing investors who buy Google or Meta today?

Are homebuyers who bought a home for $200K in 1995 and sell it for $2 million today impoverishing home buyers?

Of course not.

This is a intellectually lightweight argument.

Yes a handful of people have gained purchasing power due to their foresight, intelligence, and courage to hold through inhuman volatility.

But trying to legislate against Bitcoin because of that is like trying to ban Google stock because the IPO buyers who held have become multi-millionaires.

The real thieves are the people who can create fiat money out of thin air and dilute entire populations behind their back.

Something the ECB and big banks perform as a primary function.

Bitcoin simply allows anyone to protect themselves from fiat debasement and reliably improve their standard of living.

That's as true for those who bought in 2012 as it is for those who bought in 2022.”


Again and again, #bitcoin comes through.

If you have free electricity and own the miners already, definitely go for it!

My guess is that you win big by just buying BTC.

“81 days until the US election.

Expect this app to be a garbage fire until then as nation states compete to manipulate your view of reality.

But don't let that distract you from the signal: Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are now top-5 holders of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF.

The most sophisticated investment firms in the world are working overtime to accumulate coins as cheaply as possible for their well-heeled clients.

I'm operating under the assumption that all dips, FUD, government coin movements, etc. are designed to scare hodlers out of their stack.

Manufactured fear.

What's the giveaway?

BlackRock hasn't been selling on any of the dips.

US moves their coins? Salad hands fill their pants but BlackRock accumulates.

Bank of Japan blows up the world? Larry Fink backs up the truck.

The game is too obvious at this point.

They want your coins.

Bottom line is there's never been a better time to tune out the world and ignore the emotionally charged sensationalism designed to have you act against your own interests.

Etc…..

We all believe in a spirit that animates us, that embodies our highest values, that is our religion.

Choose well


Another amazing post from #[1] :

The whole global economic system is being hilariously upended and you're alive to see it.

Computers will soon operate themselves better than a human could.

How much longer will professional button pushers outperform AI at coding, statistical analysis, spreadsheets, slide decks, etc?

Not much longer.

The majority of white collar intellectual work will be wiped out.

We are horses watching the emergence of the automobile.

But that's not all...

Realtime computer vision is rapidly advancing.

Which means robots that complete manual tasks at a fraction of the cost of a human employee aren't far off.

For the first time in human history, NO ONE can tell you which jobs will still be here 10 years from now.

And now let's consider sovereign debt.

It's still the underlying collateral of the global financial system.

But it's not made for the world that's coming.

At best sovereign debt is backed by tax revenues of citizens that will soon be out of work.

But the massive debt and deficit levels mean that even without mass unemployment, sovereign debt is already pretty much worthless if you reason from first principles.

It can only be paid back in hideously debased fiat currency.

Which means it's already a confidence game that only works as long as people don't think about it too much.

So to review, we have a once in a species disruption of human work, hitting at the same time that the debt-based financial system has reached its logical conclusion.

Any entity with liabilities that need to be paid out in real terms should be scrambling to prepare for this new reality.

Pension funds. Insurance companies. Governments.

They all need an asset that can keep up with the debasement of fiat currency if they want to prevent their constituents from rioting French Revolution style.

No doubt some of the people in charge see WW3 as a convenient solution...

When things get tough at home, the easy thing to do is send the masculine youth to go die in a far-off ditch before they have a chance to rise up.

But there's a much better solution.

It's painfully clear to many of us that finite #Bitcoin  is the asset that can help us out of this apparent trap.

Yesterday's announcement that the Wisconsin state pension fund bought $162 million of spot Bitcoin should not be overlooked.

This is the very beginning of a peaceful migration of global capital into the new collateral.

We're hot-swapping the wings of the financial system mid-air.

Which means it might be a bumpy ride.

But that's the real "soft landing" we should be paying attention to.

Not how old man Powell fiddles with interest rates, or how many fiat digits Yellen pumps into the system.

Their goose is already cooked.

The best they can do is delay the inevitable.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS!

Washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners...

These tools gave us more of our most precious asset: Time.

We wouldn't dream of washing our clothes by hand today.

Likewise, AI and robotics will give us an incredible amount of our lives back.

Future generations will feel bad that we spent so much time staring at screens, clicking buttons, and doing menial labor.

Meanwhile, the price of all goods will absolutely plummet in #Bitcoin  terms.

Just as fossil fuels lead to an enormous increase in standard of living, so too will the AI and robotics boom.

The biggest challenge in all of this will be what humans do with their time.

Most of us have been conditioned since childhood to think that we must stay busy.

When you're a kid, you have no problem playing in the yard all day, looking at bugs, and living in the moment.

But then we enter the conveyor belt of school.

And we're conditioned to strive and seek external approval for our efforts.

Undoing that conditioning will be the hardest part.

Learning to find contentment in pure human experience will be difficult for most.

#Bitcoin  can fix the financial and economic system.

After that, a positive philosophy of living will be needed.

But let's take it one problem at a time 😉 https://image.nostr.build/0363840b4c23e40b6623282b9af6e95b4c856387659a5ea8738e0c53b0064aa4.jpg

A simple plan to financial freedom:

Step 1 - Bring value to society and get paid for it
Step 2 - Save 10% or more of what you earn in #bitcoin that you hold in self custody (weekly dollar cost average is great)
Step 3 - live a good life with the rest of what you earn
Step 4 - watch your savings appreciate over many years until your bitcoin holdings grow in purchasing power every year more than you can possibly earn annually.

Not financial advice.  Just my personal experience.

“There's a new kind of money.

It's only accepted in a handful of restaurants and retail shops. Amazon doesn't take it. And you definitely can't use it to pay your taxes.

But this money that nobody accepts did 10 trillion dollars in transactions last year -- more than Visa.

The value of this currency has appreciated more than any other asset class in 12 of the last 15 years. It's progression follows a power law, with close to 40% current compound growth.

100 million people worldwide are saving in it. That number is growing at the cube rate of time.

Anywhere on the planet, you can exchange it for the local currency. Dollars, Euros, Yen or the Vanuatu Vatu. It's massively liquid, trading Billions of volume per day.

So ignore it if you want, or try to be cute and time your purchases and sales.

But recognize that it's here. And it's unique.

Absolutely in agreement.  God is the first mover, the Creator of all that is good and virtuous.  We are lost without repentance and reconciliation.

Bitcoin is a wonderful technology that reflects virtue and can be used for good and to maximize human potential.


Thank you, #[1] !


Logic and reason, in a Christian worldview, come from God.  Faith and Science are not in opposition.  The problem, as you point to, is that humans are fallible.  Only with a true North, what I am calling a Christian worldview, will a government put the common good ahead of power.  Without a Christian world view, it’s power only and what we have now, all over the world.


Yes! Let us recognize the humanity in each other and do unto others as we would have them do unto us!  This is the way!

I am not arguing with you.  I agree.  Many horrible atrocities have been committed in the name of the Lord and of religion. .

In my view, again not arguing, many wonderful things have been done in the name of the Lord by those who followed His instructions to do unto others as we would have them do unto us.  Those atrocities would be in direct contradiction to those instructions.   Additionally, it has been revealed from the beginning that we are made in God’s image and likeness so, as you indicate, our common humanity binds us together and makes those atrocities wrong.

The evil we are seeing in society is from those who do not respect our common humanity and the golden rule.

We may not agree on the ultimate source of Goodness, but we agree on the same Goodness as essential to the solution.

Finally, a Christian worldview includes the freedom of each individual to choose to practice or not practice a religion, so non-believers are safe with a leadership that truly lives Christian values.  Christian values require virtue and protecting the common good.


I agree with the word repent!  It’s a great word because you cannot truly have a relationship with the Lord if you are not willing to feel honest remorse for your wrongdoing.


Amen!


We in the West have allowed our culture to morally decline.  As a result of our weakness, the West is under siege from tyrannical forces.

We need to return to the Lord and ask for His grace and protection against the forces of evil.   Help us Lord to stand up to the darkness.

Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, descendant of King Louis XIV 🔥

"The destructive violence unleashed against our legacy and our history are part of the revolutionary and totalitarian process which resulted in the deaths of Louis XVI (the French sovereign who provided extraordinary assistance to the US) and tens of millions of other people. What this process is intended to achieve is to erase the past so that a "new man" may emerge. Humanity is not merely the sum of its biological components : it is also the recipient of what has been accomplished by previous generations and of our travels on a spiritual journey. We need our saints and heroes so that they may inspire us to lead authentically human existences. It cannot be in vain that the Fourth Commandment in the Decalogue asks us to honor our parents, respect what we have received from our forefathers and love our nation. This is why, in grateful prayer, I wish to include all of those who within families schools institutions of higher learning and elsewhere in our society work so hard to transmit the Western culture and civilization which takes their roots in our Greco-Roman and Christian heritage. Only irresponsible barbarians can have as an objective the rejection of this invaluable treasure which is so critical to the betterment of our humanity."

“There's never been a more important time to know who you are and what you stand for.” - by #[1]

Most people today are empty vessels.

They have no strict or well-defined moral code to guide them.

Without a clear idea about who they are or what they value - they are extremely vulnerable to having their mind hijacked.

That's why someone like Andrew Tate can come along and a few months later this app is full of Tate wannabes renting supercars in Dubai and flaunting money earned from OnlyFans.

It's also why a government can make people terrified to leave their homes one day, and happy to protest in droves the next day.

Wasn't it weird how a rally for the opposition party was a superspreader event, but a protest for the establishment cause was deemed essential?

Without a strong set of values through which to filter reality, people are easily fooled.

And ultimately it means their quality of life is determined by whoever is best able to get their message in front of them.

Back when people went to church every Sunday, what they were really doing was downloading a shared operating system.

A shared set of assumptions about how people behave, which lubricated cooperation and helped maintain functioning societies.

But what happens when everyone is running around with different operating systems?

What happens when a culture is seeded with contradictory ideas:

- Some think private property is evil
- Others think taxation is theft
- Some think that "pimpin hoes" is the ideal way to live
- Others believe in building a strong nuclear family

It's a recipe for societal discord.

But the pendulum swings back and forth.

And we've probably already reached peak relativism.

If you look closely, you'll see a revival of religion as the pendulum heads back the other way.

People want a well-defined moral code to guide them.

Some recognize that religions and ancient philosophies contain wisdom that survived thousands of years for a reason.

Many have realized that it's hard to live well when you're inventing a moral code on the fly.

As a father, my most important job is to give my son clear guiding principles for living well.

He will not grow up to be an empty vessel vulnerable to unhelpful life philosophies.

I will provide him with a strong moral code and timeless principles to successfully navigate the world.

To do that, I've been forced to audit my own values and beliefs to make sure they are worth passing on.

And I now believe this is one of the most valuable exercises anyone could do.

Do your beliefs help you navigate this world in a way that ultimately makes you healthy, happy, and prosperous?

Are the people whose gave you these beliefs living well?

What do you truly value in the first place?

We're heading into strange times with the rise of AI and robotics, the failure of the fiat monetary system, and perhaps even the destruction of the nation state as we know it.

Taking the time to answer these questions can be the difference between living well, and being buffeted about by the gale-force winds of change. https://image.nostr.build/06fb7cfdfc511a6c33da165f9bbfe09fd7c06711884ec1b44339e41cf422dccf.jpg

A great perspective on the right to keep and bear arms in a democracy from a Daily Wire article:

“A Chinese immigrant who is running for U.S. Congress slammed far-left gun control activist David Hogg this week at gun control debate, telling him that he needed to go to communist China to see what the impacts of total gun control are.
Lily Tang Williams, who is running as a Republican in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, confronted Hogg on Wednesday at Dartmouth University.

“I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism,” she began. “And under Mao, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered, during his cultural revolution.”
“So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner, tonight, our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never, never become a tyrannical government?” she asked. “Can you guarantee that to me?”
“There’s no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical,” Hogg admitted.  “Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns,” she responded. “Never. Never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of the CCP.”


Here is another great quote:  John, Chapter 6

“Amen amen. I say to you unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. The one who feeds on me will have life because of me.”

We thank you Lord Jesus Christ for healing our human brokenness and saving us from eternal death away from You.  May we all gratefully accept Your invitation to the Easter Feast!

“Come you all: Enter into the joy of your Lord. You the first and you the last, receive alike your reward; you rich and you poor, dance together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and you who have not, rejoice today. The table is richly loaded: Enjoy its royal banquet. The calf is a fatted one: Let no one go away hungry. All of you enjoy the banquet of faith; all of you receive the riches of his goodness. Let no one grieve over his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed; let no one weep over his sins, for pardon has shone from the grave; let no one fear death, for the death of our Savior has set us free: He has destroyed it by enduring it…….

O death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?

Christ is risen, and you are abolished.

Christ is risen, and the demons are cast down.

Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice.

Christ is risen, and life is freed.

Christ is risen, and the tomb is emptied of the dead: for Christ, being risen from the dead, has become the Leader and Reviver of those who had fallen asleep.

To Him be glory and power forever and ever!
Amen.”

- from the Easter sermon of St John Chrysostom

Happy Easter, my friend! May the Lord bless you and your family!

We need #bitcoin because, as #[1] says, “you can’t outwork inflation.”


IBIT, the Blackrock #bitcoin ETF, is the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs.

Game changer!


Here is a great quote:  “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.”  Luke 9:18c-20


I appreciate the dialogue!


There is so much that we do not understand with our human pea-brains!    We humans carry tremendous brokenness.  I realize that I need a Savior to show me the way through this valley of tears.  May God bless you, friend


I cannot condemn you.  There is so much mystery, so much that I don’t understand.  I would just encourage study and prayer.  I have found that the studying both Scripture and the Tradition of the Church that Jesus established have deepened my understanding and faith , giving me a sense of purpose and peace despite my own weakness.   We are free to choose.  I wish you peace and joy.


The Jesus Trilemma

Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or is telling the truth:  He is God incarnate.  He is the Redeemer of mankind.

Lord, open my mind and my heart to trust in you.

God’s blessings to you and your, #nostr friends!

Here are the beautiful words and an inspiring live performance of the “The Deer’s Cry” based on St. Patrick’s Breastplate prayer. May #Christ be with you.  #SaintPatrick, pray for us:

I arise today through the strength of heaven
Light of sun, radiance of moon
Splendor of fire, speed of lightning
Swiftness of wind, depth of the sea
Stability of earth, firmness of rock

I arise today through God's strength to pilot me
God's eye to look before me
God's wisdom to guide me
God's way to lie before me
God's shield to protect me

From all who shall wish me ill
Afar and a-near
Alone and in a multitude
Against every cruel, merciless power
That may oppose my body and soul

Christ with me, Christ before me
Christ behind me, Christ in me
Christ beneath me, Christ above me
Christ on my right, Christ on my left
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down
Christ when I arise, Christ to shield me

Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me

I arise today

GM, #nostr friends!

May I suggest that we not gamble with #bitcoin using leverage and just stay humble and stack sats!

Save your savings in #bitcoin.

“If you have an income of $100,000…

You’ve gone from earning 6.25 #BTC  per year to 1.38 #BTC  in the course of 14 months.

You are witnessing a massive pay cut in terms of the future currency. You should pay attention.” - Luke Broyles

Are we awake now?


In 6 years, my house is costs 85% less than what I paid for it in bitcoin terms.  Bitcoin is savings that not only holds value but it appreciated 18 times more than the S&P 500 did over the last 5 years!

Consider saving in #bitcoin

Absolutely!  Many powerful in the Church, an institution made up of humans, as well as humanity in general have chosen to do evil.  God made us good and made us free to choose good or evil. Sadly we all choose evil at times.  Without God’s grace we will always choose selfishly. With God’s grace we can find the strength to choose the good, to love one another.  May it be so.  All the best to you and yours!


“Having excluded God from public life, authority does not have to obey any transcendent principle and can therefore change, as it is changing, into dictatorship.” - Archbishop  Carlo Maria Viganò

#truth


Those who do evil in the world, take heed of these words from Psalm 94:

“For the LORD will not forsake his people,
nor abandon his inheritance. Judgment shall again be just,
and all the upright of heart will follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

Can unjust judges be your allies,  those who create burdens by decree, those who conspire against the just and condemn the innocent to death?

No, the LORD is my secure height, my God, my rock of refuge, who will turn back their evil upon them and destroy them for their wickedness.”

I had to repost this from the amazing #[0] :

“Is the United States playing #bitcoin chess while the rest of the world plays checkers?

Imagine you know the dollar endgame is near.

You've crossed the debt event horizon, and all that is left is for the US monetary system to eventually implode in a sovereign debt supernova.

What do you do? Wait for the inevitable? No.

You accelerate everything, and then exit-scam into the next global reserve asset before the rest of world even knows what hit them.

But how exactly?

1. Flood the world with dollars. Ignite global inflation.

2. Jack interest rates to the moon. Debt-laden Europe, China, etc. caught flat footed. Provoke wars to distract further.

3. In the meantime, blow up the crypto ponzis to scare everyone away and get Bitcoin prices as low as possible.

4. Pull a sudden 180 on #Bitcoin  and get every American boomer, corporation, pension fund, etc. into BTC as quickly as possible via the BlackRock ETFs.

While the BRICS play around with their Gold, China tries to hold its real estate ponzi together, Christine Lagarde buys some more Hermès scarves...

The US rapidly monetizes its debt with printed dollars.

BTC goes to $10 million+, US sovereign debt goes to zero.

US entities are protected from the debasement via their Bitcoin portfolio insurance.

El Salvador becomes the Singapore of the west.

@maxkeiser lives up to his last name and becomes Ceasar of a new island nation.

BTC becomes the new global reserve asset, with the majority held by US entities.

BTC forces fiscal responsibility onto US Federal government, parasitic politicians die out, US returns focus to builders like @elonmusk and attracts global talent.

The pendulum swings away from wokeness and the US returns to founding ideals.

Freedom of speech, religion, press, etc.

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Small federal government, minimal foreign intervention (once upon a time the default stance of Americans).

AI advances unlock abundant energy, clean water, medical advances, etc.

US exports abundance to rest of world. Conflict over resources ends.

Bitcoin is the reserve currency of the machine economy.

Prices fall, Bitcoin purchasing power rises, humanity thrives.

~~~~~~~~~~

Now imagine for a second that this story has even a small chance of playing out...

If you're a competitor nation state, do you wait around to find out, or do you start stacking BTC immediately now that you see BlackRock going full-tilt into it?

We could be in the early stages of a global Bitcoin stack-off that leads to hyper-Bitcoinization.

Nations wouldn't be stacking for gains.

They'd be stacking to insure their wealth against the scenario outlined above.

Which means they wouldn't care about price, cycles, etc.

They care about exposure to the finite 21 million coins.

Reminder: They're all armed with money printers.

And the first one to print their currency to buy Bitcoin gains the biggest advantage.

Which means things could get really weird, really quickly.”

“The model is pretty straightforward. A. $700T of fiat wealth. B. 21 million Bitcoin. Make your own assumption about what percentage of fiat wealth is held in #Bitcoin  . Divide.  Right now $1T of wealth is held in Bitcoin. If all fiat wealth were denominated in Bitcoin you get $35 million per coin. See why we like it?  And the reason more wealth is shifting to Bitcoin is because it has superior monetary characteristics.  No dilution.” - Lawrence Lepard

Barack Obama, his Administration, and his Intelligence and Security Apparatus should be tried as traitors and executed if found guilty of manipulating elections.  These actions are seditious and cannot be tolerated.    I hope that the US electorate will stand up to these criminals!


This interview is an eye opener illustrating that Western Democracies have been transformed from government by the people for the people to government by the establishment institutions for the people controlling those establishment institutions.  These establishments institutions have overthrown our Western democracies, and they have criminalized anyone who questions their illegal and immoral behavior.

Please share this concerning letter from the FBI about the invasion of the United States that is happening right now.  The same strategy is being followed to invade Western Europe.

Is the US being divided and conquered by it’s own government? Can the FBI be trusted or are darker forces pushing the West into internal wars that will scare citizens into granting more government controls that will “keep us safe”?

It is lonely because it takes a while to realize that most people, especially those you care for the most, are not predisposed to see the transformational power of bitcoin and, at best, they will buy some bitcoin at your recommendation.  They do not, however, gain conviction because they do not find it in themselves to do the work.  It get’s lonely because you get frustrated that the great majority of people do not “get it” as the fiat world burns around them.

On the other hand it is not lonely because a) you find a community online who is as passionate as you are on the subject, b)there are tremendous learning resources available in the form of books, podcasts, social media channels, and c) you slowly develop what may amount to a handful or two of close friends that take the bitcoin journey with you.


Bullish for 2024, my friend!

Father, we thank you for this day, the twelfth day of Christmas, when the world came to know that their Savior was born.  The Magi, the Three Kings, the Three Wise Men represent the the powerful and wise of the world who come worship this newborn King, our Lord.  That’s why we call this feast day The Epiphany, which means an illuminating discovery or realization.

May the Light of the Savior manifest itself in our lives!

The Necessity of Meditation

“With desolation is all the land made desolate, because there is none that considereth in the heart." (Jer. 12:11)

Very often the world is plunged in the desolation of evil because there is nobody who will speak with God in the silence of his heart and try to regulate his life according to His holy commandments. It is in a particularly outstanding way today that the heresies of actionism and externalism dominate the great mass of mankind. To act, to rush, to arrive… above all, to arrive! But to arrive where? In this frantic, frenzied and tumultuous race, in which good people are often found competing, two very sure things are forgotten, namely, that we shall finally arrive at death, and that from death we shall pass on to eternity. The whole course of our lives, therefore, should be directed towards this end. But if we are to keep this end in view, prudent reflection is essential, especially meditation, made with the assistance of the Divine light, on the eternal truths.

Absorbed in the deafening din of the world around us, it is difficult to hear the voice of God. At least for a little while each day, we must create within ourselves a zone of silence in order to listen to His voice. Since God speaks readily in the silence of the heart, let us recollect ourselves before Him in this quiet oasis. At least a quarter of an hour of daily meditation is essential for the life of Christian. This should be the jumping-off board for all the actions of the day, if we wish these to be correct and productive of good.

The masters of the spiritual life assure us that without the practice of meditation it is almost impossible for the just man to persevere in virtue, or for the tepid to become fervent, or for the sinner to be converted. God, it is true, can work miracles. At times the grace of God can strike the sinner with the suddenness of a thunderbolt and convert him. But it is the ordinary rule of the spiritual life that meditation on the truths of eternity, especially on the last things, stirs up the soul and moves it, under the influence of Divine grace, to form good resolutions. Even though the first fervour diminishes, the daily repetition of this pious practice revives and strengthens such good resolutions, and causes them to be realised in activities which are in accordance with Christian teaching.

Sin and tepidity cannot co-exist with the practice of daily mental prayer, if this is carried out as it should be. If we keep our hearts united to God and listen willingly and attentively to His voice, we shall be able to effect in ourselves that total renovation of which St. Paul speaks: "But be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, which has been created according to God, in justice and holiness of truth." (Eph. 4:23)

There are various ways of meditating. Each one should choose whichever suits his own character and dispositions. It will always be necessary for him at the outset, however, to place himself in the presence of God, asking for light and strength from Him; then to reflect on certain truths in an effort to apply them to his own particular circumstances and needs; and finally to make the necessary resolutions and beseech God to bless them and make them fruitful.

It is very useful, moreover, to recall to mind frequently during the day the resolutions which have been formed, and to accompany these reflections with short prayers, ejaculations, and acts of love for God.—Antonio Cardinal Bacci (by way of Father V)

“Every American should be troubled by the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove President Trump from the ballot. The court has deprived him of a consequential right without having been convicted of a crime.  This was done without an evidentiary hearing in which he is given the basic right of confronting his accusers.

When any candidate is deprived of his right to run, the American people are deprived of their right to choose.  I hope the Colorado Supreme Court swiftly reverses this decision. At the very least, it contributes to the perception that the elites are picking the President by manipulating the legal system, and through other interventions.

If Trump is kept out of office through judicial fiat rather than being defeated in a fair election, his supporters will never accept the result. This country will become ungovernable.

It’s time to trust the voters. It is up to the people to decide who the best candidate is. Not the courts. The people. That’s Democracy 101. “ - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Independent Candidate running against Trumpe)

“Democracy needs religion more than religion needs democracy.  A religion can live without democracy; it can live under tyranny, persecution and dictatorship – not comfortably, it is true, but heroically and divinely.  But democracy cannot live without religion, for without religion democracy will degenerate into demagogy by selling itself to the highest bidder.”  - Venerable Fulton J. Sheen


Public Education curricula should not be politically divisive.  Public Education should limit itself to more basic education that is not controversial.  2+2=4 is not political and arithmetic is not controversial.  Neither is spelling.
